The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is a journey of self-discovery and an exploration of man’s relationship with the Creator. Mecca is located in an arid land where nothing grows, and few, if any, earthly distractions exist. The pilgrim is therefore left alone face to face with God. Each stage of the Hajj should bring the pilgrim closer to the objective of self-knowledge. However, attaining this depends on each person’s natural ability and desire to do so. For this reason, no two Hajj journeys are ever alike, and every Hajj pilgrim leaves the great journey forever altered from the person they were beforehand. It is difficult to capture the Hajj in text or visually since the Hajj is larger than any possible description. No book or photograph can ever give the Hajj its due. Even those who perform the Hajj can never fully comprehend it. Nonetheless, in this book, Saudi princess and photographer Reem Al Faisal attempts to document the Hajj, which every Muslim must undertake once in his or her lifetime. But Princess Al Faisal, herself a Muslim, does not confine herself to recording religious expressions. With her photographs she also tries to reveal the divine in man and nature. For her, photography itself is a means of honoring God’s presence.

Le hajj ou pèlerinage à la Mecque est l'un cinq piliers de l'islam - avec la profession de foi (chahâda), la prière, le jeûne du mois de ramadan et l'aumône (zakât). Il ne constitue une obligation pour le croyant que dans la mesure où celui-ci a les moyens physiques et matériels de l'accomplir, une fois dans son existence. Le hajj doit être entrepris à une date précise du mois de dhu al-hijja du calendrier lunaire de l'islam, mais l'umra (petit pèlerinage) peut être accompli tout au long de l'année. Le pèlerinage a des racines qui remontent à la période antéislamique. Depuis l'instauration de l'islam, c'est-à-dire depuis tantôt quinze siècles, le hajj est l'occasion d'une rencontre religieuse, mais aussi sociale et culturelle, de millions de Musulmans de toutes origines ethniques et géographiques. Théologiens, lettrés, artistes, commerçants, politiques ou simples croyants, font de la Mecque, pendant quelques jours, un microcosme universel.

The first complete translation of the masterpiece of Ali Shariati, it is not a treatise on the hajj, but a reflection by the astute haji on what the hajj means as it is performed and includes the meaning behind each and every ritual of the hajj based on the Arabic language and traditional sources.

Hajj is a sacred duty for Muslims, wherever they may reside, to go at least once in their lives to Mecca, the heartland of Islam where the Prophet Muhammad received the revelation in the early seventh century. Drawing millions of pilgrims annually, the Hajj is a powerful bond that brings Muslims together from across the world. From earliest Islamic times those rulers of Muslim dynasties whose territories encompassed Mecca and Medina looked after and refurbished the two holy sites. They provided shelter along the routes and organized the great annual caravans that took place. Pomp and ritual were associated with the departure of these caravans. Before modern travel, the journey was long and hazardous. Pilgrims came from far afield and their journeys are evocatively documented in the form of manuscripts, photographs, and wall paintings. Today the holy sites are under the care of the King of Saudi Arabia. With contributions from leading experts, this fascinating and important book tells the history of Hajj from the beginning until the present day, focusing on the rituals, the main routes to Mecca, and the experience of the pilgrims themselves. The spirit of the pilgrimage is further evoked through a wealth of illustrations, including personal objects carried by the pilgrims throughout the centuries; souvenirs collected at Mecca and Medina; early photographs; maps; manuscripts; wall paintings; compasses and astrolabes; textiles; and stunning artworks created by contemporary artists. The book also allows non-Muslims to explore this key aspect of Islamic practice and faith which plays such a major part in forming a worldwide Islamic consciousness.

HARDCOVER- Persevering against wars, disasters, and epidemics for more than 13 centuries, the Hajj is the only ritual that has continued without interruption in the history of humanity. There have been absolutely no changes in its religious character, yet the scope of the changes made to its physical structure in the last century is much greater than the total of the changes implemented throughout the 13 centuries in question... And by using postcards, this book aims to help visualize what the Hajj was like before all these changes. This book will allow you to witness the past of the sublime and multifaceted act of worship through the medium of the postcards. We humbly hope to succeed in opening up new horizons in the minds and hearts of those interested in this topic, and especially those who have performed their pilgrimage or have yet to perform it. Contents Part I and Part VI ..departure and arrival of the pilgrims, people seeing them off and welcoming them. Apart from giving us an idea about the different forms of this journey in the past, postcards also tell us how great a number of lands and peoples were affected around the time of pilgrimage every year. Part II ..ceremonies from Istanbul, Damascus and Egypt. Part III is dedicated to Hejaz, Jeddah and Yanbu. These postcards may give us clues about the daily life in the Hejaz in those years, and how the pilgrims traveled and found accommodations. Parts IV and V ..the holy cities of Mecca and Medina ....sights from the two holy cities, Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi. These postcards provide an opportunity to compare the present state of these two cities with their near past in terms of architecture and town planning. Part VII The Ottoman State launched the Hamidiye Hejaz Railroad project at the beginning of the 20th century. This was the greatest project undertaken after the Industrial Revolution for the comfort and safety of the tens of thousands of pilgrims undertaking the Hajj journey

Since the seventh century, the Hajj, or Great Pilgrimage to Mecca, has been a lifelong goal of devout Muslims throughout the world. Egyptian pilgrims traditionally celebrate their sacred journey by commissioning a local artist to depict their religious odyssey on the walls of their homes. Hajj Paintings is the first visual record of the richness and variety of this naive art form.Photographer Ann Parker and writer Avon Neal spent a decade exploring towns, villages, and isolated farm communities along the Nile, across the Delta, down the Red Sea coast, and into Sinai. On the walls of buildings ranging from alabaster factories to mud-brick farmhouses they found brilliant murals illuminated by the desert sun, portraying beloved icons of the pilgrims’ faith and scenes from the Qur’an. Their nearly 150 color photographs and accompanying descriptions record the radiant palette of the mostly self-taught artists.

The Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, is the largest pilgrimage in the world today and a sacred duty for all Muslims. Each year, millions of the faithful from around the world make the pilgrimage to Makkah, the birthplace of Islam where the Prophet Muhammad received his revelation. With contributions from renowned experts Muhammad Abdel Haleem, Hugh Kennedy, Robert Irwin, and Ziauddin Sardar, this fascinating book pulls together many strands of Hajj, its rituals, history, and modern manifestations. Travel was once a hazardous gamble, yet devoted Muslims undertook the journey to Makkah, documenting their experiences in manuscripts, wall paintings, and early photographs, many of which are presented here. Through a wealth of illustrations including pilgrims' personal objects, souvenirs, and maps, Hajj provides a glimpse into this important holy rite for Muslim readers already grounded in the tradition and non-Muslims who cannot otherwise participate.

Graffiti, consumerism, and state lotteries all now play a role in this time-honored practice. This book opens out onto the full sweep of the Hajj: a sacred path walked by early Islamic devotees and pre-Islamic Arabians; a sumptuous site of worship under the care of sultans; and an expression of faith in the modern world.
