Description :


There are few human scenes more spectacular than the sight of Makkah and Madinah during the annual Hajj. The plain of Arafat near Makkah is transformed into a tented city of three million faithful from around the world, a vast gathering of brotherhood and friendship which then heads north to Madinah, the birthplace of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.


This compact companion to the Hajj takes the reader through the different stages of this "Journey of a Lifetime", with clear explanatory text on each shrine and its place in the performance of the Pilgrimage. The author presents a step-by-step guide to all prospective pilgrims, and writes also for non-Muslims with an interest in these two ancient holy cities.


Over 125 colour photos compellingly illustrate the great architecture and dramatic landscapes while the text narrates the history of Makkah and Madinah and of the Islamic faith, and gives detailed explanation of shrine's not to metion the rites of the Hajj pilgrimage.
