a few images I created in the holy city mecca

 
pilgrims stand in prayer at jabal al-rahma on wuquf ritual day in arafat

mass of human from at least 160 countries from every part of the world

feast of sacrifice recalling how ibrahim sacrificed a sheep that allah had provided in place of his son ismail

reciting prayer at jabal al-rahma

muslims from different races and backgrounds, throne to mecca to perform the fifth pillar of islam

in ihram, hajis gather half a night in muzdalifah collecting pebbles to 'stone the devil'

"stoning the devil" in mena

alhamdulillah ..... tahallul at the end of the pilgrimage

 
mena, surrounded by mountains,
where devil persuade ibrahim to not ritually murder his son ismail, as commanded by allah

 

camels for feast of sacrifice

sunrise prayer in arafat

climbing jabal al-rahma

haram, before sunrise prayer, ......... and last but not least

me and an afghani pilgrim .......

 

look forward to see you in our lovely 'kampung halaman' of malaysia,
missing my little intan nur aisyah (www.bazuki.com/intanbazuki/) is
the hardest part in being a photographer, and having a beautiful companion, azu,
who is unreasonably willing to live with my ever changing schedule,
has given me opportunities to do the job i love the most,

THE ART OF SEEING

when work is a pleasure, life is a joy

this is haji bazuki bin haji muhammad
signing out from
makkah al-mukarramah
in the kingdom of saudi arabia

alhamdulillah syukran
salam
