abstract: It is a sacred duty for Muslims, wherever they may reside, to go at least once in their lives to Makkah, the heartland of Islam where the Prophet Muhammad received the revelation in AD 632. 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. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum from 26 January to 15 April 2012.
