Picture Perfect : Hajj – The Journey of a Lifetime
Moving images, striking panoramas, majestic mosques and minarets, special aerial images, intimate scenes of rapturous pilgrims - these are just a few rare close up moments of one of the Most important cities in the world, Makkah and Madinah.

I said: "Messenger of Allah, which mosque was set up first on the earth?" He said: "Al-Masjid al-Haram (the sacred mosque, in Makkah)". I (again) said: "Then which next?" He said: "It was the Masjid Aqsa." I (again) said: "How long the space of time (between their setting up)?" He (the Holy Prophet) said: "It was forty years.
