If it can be funded, it is a religious duty to make the journey before they die. In recent years the Grand Mosque, and indeed the whole infrastructure that the pilgrims will encounter on their journey, has been substantially renovated and rebuilt to allow for the huge numbers who will come from all four corners of the earth. This photographic celebration of the Hajj pilgrimage will establish itself as the essential keepsake - a treasured tool in presenting the sights the traveller will encounter in the holy cities. Newsha Tavakolian's remarkable photography is reproduced here with full captions that detail the events and rituals that form part of the pilgrimage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rageh Omaar, Newsha Tavakolian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908531088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908531087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilgamesh Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.88h x 9.97w x 0.81d","brand":"Rageh Omaar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074094756095,"sku":"9781908531087","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3081e82-0cb9-4590-9244-ca1f105b80c2.jpg?v=1685451749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fifth-pillar-newsha-tavakolian-9781908531087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
