Mecca the Blessed, Medina the Radiant is an unprecedented
photographic exploration of the holiest cities of Islam and the
Hajj, or annual pilgrimage during Ramadan when more than a million
faithful journey to Mecca's Great Mosque to commemorate the first
revelation of the Qur'an (Koran). This book allows both Muslims and
those unfamiliar with the Islamic faith complete access to the
holiest sites of one of the world's major religions, practiced by a
quarter of the world's population but often misunderstood in the
West. Photographer Ali Kazuyoshi Namachi, a Muslim convert from
Japan, garnered the full support of Saudi Arabian
authorities--rarely given--to shoot in cities where photography is
strictly controlled, and non-Muslims are not allowed. An expansive
work of photojournalism, Mecca the Blessed, Medina the Radiant
includes: 140 full-color, never-before-seen photographs Mystical
places and scenes of Islam Breathtaking aerial photographs of the
Arabian terrain Vistas of teeming crowds of worshippers surrounding
the Kasbah, Mecca's sacred center Intense portraits of faithful
Muslims in prayer Magnificent architecture reflecting the faith of
the believers Archival illustrations Text by Seyyed Hossein Nasr,
one of the most highly regarded scholars of Islam, enhances the
stunning Islamic holy city photographs to illuminate many aspects
of Islamic belief that have remained enigmatic to
non-Muslims--until now.
