About Hajj Reflection On Its Rituals
Product Description The first complete translation of the masterpiece of Ali Shariati, it is not a treatise on the hajj, but a reflection by the astute haji on what the hajj means as it is performed and includes the meaning behind each and every ritual of the hajj based on the Arabic language and traditional sources. Review History will judge Shariati's Hajj as one of the most important documents of Islamic renaissance. While a great deal of his work has come to us as transcriptions of his lectures, Hajj, however, is a book that he is blessed with some time to work on. It is, along with Martyrdom and Once Again Abu Dharr, among the most representative of his thought and his philosophy. Having savored, in small portions, the Persian Hajj, I was awestruck with the challenge faced by the translator. This Hajj in English captures with impressive honesty and finesse the emotions and eloquence of Shariati. I cannot imagine him speaking or writing English any different than what you will find in this translation. Through her translation, Laleh Bakhtiar has gifted Shariati to millions of human beings all over the world. Wherever this book travels so shall his spirit and his insuppressible message. --Sayyid Gulzar Haider About the Author Ali Shariati (1933-1977), a leading spokesman for the Islamic movement, formulates it in his reflections on the hajj rituals. Raised with the Quran and the Traditions, he also studied in France where he was active in the Algerian Liberation Movement. He returned to Iran in 1964 where he lectured in Mashhad and Tehran for several years, drawing thousands of students into the Islamic movement before his untimely death.
