Description

The Fifth Pillar: A Photographic Celebration of the Hajj Pilgrimage Every year, over 12 million Muslims embark on the sacred journey to Mecca and Medina, one of the five pillars of Islam. For many, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that must be undertaken before they die. In recent years, the Grand Mosque has undergone significant renovations to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims from around the world. This book presents a stunning photographic record of the Hajj pilgrimage, with full captions detailing the events and rituals that take place during this sacred journey. Newsha Tavakolian's remarkable photographs capture the essence of this ancient tradition, providing a treasured keepsake for anyone interested in Islamic culture and history.
