Wonderful View of the Hajj and Mecca from 3 Perspectives,
By
This review is from: Inside Mecca (Snapper) (DVD)
This is a wonderful documentary of the Hajj with an inside view of the sacred city of Mecca. As a teacher of religious studies, I have seen several good documentary depictions of Mecca, but this is the best I have seen as it gives the viewer the perspective of a woman from Texas, a man from South Africa, and a man from Malaysia. This documentary takes the viewer on the Hajj, recounting the preparation for the Hajj, the journey to Mecca, and the various rituals associated with this Pillar of Islam. Most interestingly, the viewer learns about the meaning of the Hajj for the Muslim pilgrim. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD!

Inside Mecca,
By
This review is from: Inside Mecca (DVD)
The video "Inside Mecca" gives insights into the Islamic faith and the lives of three distinct individuals--one Malay man, one South African man, and one woman of Irish heritage from Texas who converted to Islam. The video is tastefully done, giving an opportunity to see into the lives of these three as well as a glimpse of the Hajj (something not open to non-Muslims).

Excellent !,
By Mohammed MAHYAOUI "M M" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Inside Mecca (Snapper) (DVD)
An excellent report about Mecca, although the comments are a little different as on the sunna (Moslem Traditions), such as for example the history of Abraham and well of other subjects. However, the documentary is new for those which would like to know Mecca and its importance in the heart of a Moslem. In connection with South-African which was seen directing towards the camp-site of Africans of its country in the place to be with everone, it is especially not an act of racism: what he did not understand, nor the producers of the documentary, in the Mecca, the camp-sites are by countrys, so that when one loses oneself or his self, he can find or to be easily direct towards the camp-site of his country.
