About This Book

A firsthand account by a Muslim pilgrim and collaborator offers a vivid, observant narrative of the Haj, detailing rites such as the ihram, tawaf, and the use of zemzem, the long overland routes and hazards faced by pilgrims, preparations and local customs, receptions for returning pilgrims, and the pilgrimage’s role in fostering unity across sectarian and ethnic lines; the text combines descriptive travel reportage, moral and religious reflections, and ethnographic notes drawn from the authors' access to sanctuaries and diverse travelling communities.
