 Hadj - Wikipedia
Wel kan iemand die zelf de hadj al verricht heeft in naam van iemand gaan die daartoe niet in staat is, ook namens een overledene.
Tijdens de hadj is Mekka verboden terrein voor niet-moslims, en de enige manier voor hen om er dan een kijkje te nemen is via gelovige moslims, die naderhand kunnen verhalen over de waarde en betekenis die moslims hechten aan deze spirituele reis.
Na de overnachting in een enorm tentenkamp gaat de hadj verder en bezoeken de honderdduizenden moslims de vlakte van Arafat, een heilige plek in de woestijn waar men tot bezinning kan komen.

 [No title]
The pilgrimage to Mecca, called the 'Hadj', is a religious obligation to be fulfilled at least once in the life of every Muslim (although religious law does grant exclusions on grounds of hardship).
The Hadj of course was not only confined to the Straits, but involved also Indonesia, Philippines, Pakistan, east Africa, Suez and other areas where there was a Muslim presence.
At the end of the 1960,s the numbers travelling on the Hadj by sea started to fall due to the competitiveness of air travel, with low cost flights, and new facilities such as the airport at Jeddah (KAIA) with a purpose built Hadj terminal.

 eBay - Product Info - eBay - Book: The Hadj (ISBN: 0802135862)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The hadj, or sacred journey, is the pilgrimage to Mecca that all Muslims are enjoined to make once in their lifetimes.
The protean experience of the hadj, and the real Mecca, that most religious and mysterious of cities, are captured in the last half of the book.
Yet it is the author's participation in the age-old rites of the hadj that most preoccupies his thoughts, strengthening his bond to the faith he has embraced as an outsider, developing and transforming it, makingit personal and alive.

 elhadjndiaye ---- portrait
El Hadj N’Diaye prend pour thèmes la corruption de l'Etat, les tortures infligées aux victimes du conflit en Casamance, aux Touaregs dans le nord du Mali, mais aussi l’amour, la vie...
Chez El Hadj N'Diaye, les textures musicales sont aussi variées que les thèmes, mêlant le balafon des griots mandingues aux claquements des percussions du djembe et aux déchaînements de la guitare rock.
N'Diaye writes songs informed by a deep knowledge of and compassion for those who are suffering and neglected in Africa, and he writes with a literary flare born of his own experience as an author and actor.

 The Hadj : An American's Pilgrimage to Mecca (Michael Wolfe)
From the Back Cover The Hadj, or sacred journey, is the pilgrimage to the house of God at Mecca that all Muslims are asked to make once in their lifetimes.
One of the world's longest-lived religious rites, having continued without break for fourteen hundred years, it is, like all things Islamic, shrouded in mystery for Westerners.
In The Hadj, Michael Wolfe, an American who converted to Islam, recounts his own journey as a pilgrim, and in doing so brings readers close to the heart of what the pilgrimage means to a member of the religion that claims one-sixth of the world's population.

 TIME.com: The Hadj of Ahmed Murad -- Jul 6, 1959 -- Page 1
In the crowd at Beirut's airport was a spry little Arab in a long white gown and a white skullcap, sandals on his feet and a light of wonder in his eyes.
In Jidda he met his mutawwif—a professional guide who took Ahmed and 20 other Syrians under his wing for about $15 each, instructing them in the religious procedures required of a pilgrim and arranging food and lodging for the entire trip.
Life used to be grim in Jidda during the ten days of the hadj, as heat-sick pilgrims squatted in the streets gathering strength for the 46-mile trek to Mecca.

El Hadj N'Diaye embarks on a nervy strategy for his internationally released second album.
This is a superb recording from El Hadj N'Diaye.
Although you can hear hints of mbalax in the rhythms of the music, on the whole El Hadj reminds me more of intensely poetic singers like Leonard Cohen or Van Morrison.
