Hajj Journal

The Muslim World League Journal

From the Two Holy Sanctuaries

In an attempt to bring back some of the forgotten traditional elements of the sacred journey known as the Hajj, this travelogue is the first to thoroughly explore this ritual pilgrimage to Mecca by recounting the loss of rites and practices over several centuries. Lamenting the loss of spiritual grace and the celebration of visiting the Prophet in Medina that once accompanied the Hajj, the book raises some of the most controversial and oft-disputed topics amongst pilgrims while focusing on the search for blessings and grace upon the journey.
