This work is a journey through the heart of Islam, weaving a narrative of religion, architectural splendour and the fundamental interconnectedness of place throughout time. The city of Makkah is the holiest place on Earth for Muslims. Sanctified from the earliest days of Islamic tradition. Madinah shares exceptional significance to the faithful since the migration or Hijrah of the Prophet Muhammad (symbol) to the city, serving as a safe haven from which Islam could thrive. Al-Quds is just as important due to its initial status as the Qiblah or direction of prayer until this was changed to Makkah. The Dome of the Rock, Al-Aqsa Mosque and other sites mark this place as one of considerable importance to the faithful. Istanbul, the capital of one of the world’s greatest empires, served as the nerve centre for the custodianship of the ‘Three Harams’ of Makkah, Madinah and Al-Quds. We invite visitors to travel to these sacred sites and discover their unique and noble secrets.
A note on book covers: while we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
