Drawing millions of pilgrims annually, the Hajj is a powerful bond that brings Muslims together from around the world. Tracing the footsteps and personal experiences of pilgrims across the centuries, this fascinating book takes the reader on a physical and spiritual journey. The spirit of Hajj is further evoked through a wealth of illustrations, including personal objects carried by the pilgrims; maps, compasses and astrolabes; depictions of Makkah; textiles; early travel photographs; contemporary artworks; and images that capture the scale and emotional intensity of Hajj today |
