{"product_id":"the-hajj-francis-edward-peters-9780691026190","title":"The Hajj: The Muslim Pilgrimage to Mecca and the Holy Places","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmong the duties God imposes upon every Muslim capable of doing so is a pilgrimage to the holy places in and around Mecca in Arabia. Not only is it a religious ritual filled with blessings for the millions who make the journey annually, but it is also a social, political, and commercial experience that for centuries has set in motion a flood of travelers across the world's continents. Whatever its outcome--spiritual enrichment, cultural exchange, financial gain or ruin--the road to Mecca has long been an exhilarating human adventure. By collecting the firsthand accounts of these travelers and shaping their experiences into a richly detailed narrative, F. E. Peters here provides an unparalleled literary history of the central ritual of Islam from its remote pre-Islamic origins to the end of the Hashimite Kingdom of the Hijaz in 1926.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francis Edward Peters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 069102619X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691026190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.11w x 1.19d","brand":"Francis Edward Peters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241077223679,"sku":"9780691026190","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a3bb9f6-1533-4b4c-acbe-ecc70fe2d31a.jpg?v=1772652602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hajj-francis-edward-peters-9780691026190","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
