An unprecedented exploration of Islam’s most holy cities and the great pilgrimage, Mecca the Blessed, Medina the Radiant allows both Muslims and those unfamiliar with the Islamic faith access to the holiest sites of one of the world’s major religions. These stunning never-before-seen images provide an opening to the mystical places and scenes of Islam from breathtaking aerial photographs of the Arabian terrain, to vistas of teeming crowds of worshippers surrounding the Ka’bah, to intense portraits of faithful Muslims in prayer, to the magnificent architecture reflecting the faith of the believers. Featured is an essay by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the most highly regarded scholars of Islam.
