How might the increased use of technology during pilgrimage impact the traditional, spiritual aspects of the journey, and what measures can be taken to mitigate any potential negative effects?
Host: Joining us today is [Guest Name], an expert on religious tourism. The Saudi government recently announced significant updates to the Eatmarna app, expanding its features beyond Umrah permits. [Guest Name], can you tell us about these new additions and their potential impact on the pilgrimage experience?
[Guest Name]: Certainly. These are momentous changes. The app now allows pilgrims to obtain permits for praying at Masjid al-Haram, Riyaz al-Jannah, and even visiting the shrine of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This streamlined access through a readily available app could revolutionize how pilgrims plan and experience their journey.
Host: It’s certainly an innovative approach. But some critics argue that relying heavily on technology could detract from the spiritual essence of the pilgrimage. What are your thoughts on this?
