Narratives on #pilgrimage and the Holy Cities were an important part of #Ottoman #Turkish literary #heritage. As this early 18C copy of Gubarî's 16C Kâbename (Or 6983) shows, sometimes they were accompanied by visual cues and #illustration of the #Kaaba, #Makkah, and the #Hajj.
I took the first photo less than a year ago at Hajj. To see a place where you normally can’t walk without bumping shoulders look so empty, a place where you feel like you’re surrounded by the whole ummah look so lonely, it’s surreal. #Makkah
Join Jamila on a storytelling adventure as she learns about the special Zamzam water & how this is connected to Hajar; the woman at the heart of #Hajj.
