Ilija Trojanow's journey from Mumbai to Mecca is told in the
tradition of the rihla, one of the oldest genres of classical
Arabic literature and describes the Hajj, the pilgrimage to the
holy sites of Islam. 'From the very first moment they realise that
the Hajj - the pilgrimage to Mecca - is among the duties of each
and every Muslim, the faithful long to go.' Trojanov, with the help
of his friends, donned the ihram, the traditional garb of the
pilgrim. He joined hundreds of thousands of Muslims who each year
go on the Hajj, the greatest demonstration of the Muslim faith. In
three short weeks he experienced a tradition dating back over one
thousand years This is his account, personal yet enlightening, for
the interested non-Muslims who remain barred from the holy sites of
Islam.
