A brief introduction to the Hajj,
By Kim Boykin (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nightline - The Hajj: One American's Pilgrimage to Mecca (DVD)
This 22-minute episode of "Nightline" is a good introduction to the Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. We join a European-American convert to Islam as he participates in the Hajj, explaining the origin and significance of various aspects of the pilgrimage.
If you'd like a more in-depth introduction to the Hajj, I'd recommend the National Geographic documentary "Inside Mecca."

An AWAIR Pick,
By AWAIR Reviews (Berkeley, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nightline - The Hajj: One American's Pilgrimage to Mecca (DVD)
ABC News Nightline, Ted Koppel, 1997
Journalist (and American Muslim) Michael Wolfe, takes us along on his second pilgrimage to Makkah. His first such spiritual journey brought us his book, "The Hajj". This time we get to go along, for a live look at the sacred rites. Wolfes's straightforward, clear-sighted insights - blending his journalistic abilities with his profound insights as an American convert to Islam - will help students of any age gain a deeper understanding of the fifth pillar of Islam. I loved his definition of Islam (a twist on "submission" or "surrender"): "cooperating with the way things are!" Teachers/Librarians: 7th grade - adult VIDEO: 20 min. And for gaining clear and deep understanding of Islam, this has to be the best 20 minutes of film you can use in your classroom! |
