Narrator
At the heart of Islam, there is a story about a place that always was.
The story holds that long before the great Prophet Abraham, before Adam and Eve, even before creation, there was a holy place, the celestial house of God.
It is called the Kaaba…and its replica on earth remains today in the center of Mecca.
The Kaaba symbolizes the worship of the one God, the God of Abraham.
It has been a place of pilgrimage for countless generations, drawing people of many faiths, even, some scholars believe, Jews and early Christians.
But for nearly 1400 years, it has been the exclusive domain of Muslims who come, now, by the millions.
They circle the Kaaba and pray—one of the many rituals that are part of an epic, five-day quest for salvation.
The logistical challenge of moving, housing and caring for some two million people is matched only by the challenges of faith each pilgrim will face.

قصة من قلب الإسلام عن مكان كان وما زال.
تقول القصة إنه وقبل زمن نبي الله إبراهيم عليه السلام، وقبل نبي الله آدم عليه السلام وحوّاء، وحتى قبل الخلق، كان هناك مكان مقدّس. إنه بيت الله السماوي.
إسمها الكعبة، وصورتها المنقولة على الأرض ما زالت اليوم في قلب مكة المكرمة.
ترمز الكعبة إلى عبادة الإله الواحد، ربّ إبراهيم عليه السلام.
إنها مقصد الحجاج منذ عصور خلت، تجذب الناس إليها من مختلف العقائد، حتى اليهود والمسيحيين الأوّلين بحسب بعض العلماء.
ولكنها أصبحت منذ ألف وأربعمائة عام الحقل الخاص بالمسلمين الذين يفدون إليها اليوم بالملايين.
إنهم يطوفون حول الكعبة ويصلّون في اثنين من الشعائر العديدة التي تؤدّى على مدى خمسة أيام طلباً للخلاص.
إن التحدي اللوجستي لنقل نحو مليوني حاج وتوفير المبيت والعناية لهم لا تضاهيه إلا التحديات الإيمانية التي سيواجهها كل حاج.
