The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the largest gathering of the Muslim community held in Mecca every year. More than two million Muslims from around the world gather in Mecca to perform this annual pilgrimage.
Potential pilgrims make material, physical and spiritual preparations before they arrive in Mecca to perform this vital pillar of Islam - and one such means of preparation is to consult Hajj ‘manuals’, ‘guides’ and books that give details of the "hows" and "whats" of the various rituals that comprise the Hajj. Yet very few Muslims seek out the "whys" of Hajj rituals. For that matter, there is very few books that attempt to explain the Hajj step by step.
Ali Shari’ati’s Hajj stands out like a beacon to illuminate this darkness and fill this vacuum.
The latest edition of Shari’ati’s Hajj, published by the Islamic Book Trust, Malaysia, and which this audio version is based upon, is an enlightening gift for Muslims worldwide who are in search of the conceptual dimensions of the Hajj. Muhammad al-Asi rightly says in his foreword for this new edition that "there are probably hundreds of books in our ever growing fiqhi library that detail for us the ‘mechanics’ or the ‘automotives’ of hajj". Fundamentally, one’s Hajj should transcend its rituals. Hajj, for Shari’ati, is "the anti-theses of aimlessness", and "man’s evolution towards God".
This audio version, read by Saleem Bhimji, is the rendition of the updated published version of Islamic Book Trust of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and is available in print from www.ibtbooks.com.
