In an attempt to bring back some of the forgotten traditional elements of the sacred journey known as the Hajj, this guidebook is the first to thoroughly explore this
ritual pilgrimage to Mecca by recounting the loss of rites and practices over several centuries. Lamenting the celebration of visiting the Prophet in Medina and the loss of
spiritual grace 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.
