"Follow the pilgrims as they embark on a journey, a journey of patience to the city of Mecca." We are led on a lifetime journey to the city of Mecca - the pilgrimage known to Muslims as Hajj. The pilgrims walk with bare heads and sandals on their feet; calling upon Allah; kissing or pointing to the Black Stone, as the Prophet did. Upon reaching Mecca, they circle around the Kaaba, shave their heads, and travel to Mount Arafat. Ultimately, although their bodies are tired and sore, their spirits are elevated, knowing that with thousands of others they have completed the sacred pilgrimage. This is a window into a sacred journey for Muslims around the world - beautifully described and illustrated for younger children.
