One American's Pilgrimage To Mecca (Michael Wolfe) Part 1/2

Biography of Muhamad http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yshw03gi6wd37s9
For over 1,400 years, Muslims have been performing the pilgrimage, or Hajj, to the sacred site of Mecca.

In modern times, approximately two million Muslims make the pilgrimage to Mecca each year, a trip required of all Muslims at least once in lifetime if they are financially and physically able. During the Hajj, Muslims from all over the world come together for a few days to participate in common rituals, joined together by their shared faith in the most holy places of Islam, the city and surrounding areas of Mecca.

As the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad (p) and the site where he first received Qur'anic revelation, Mecca is a place of great spirituality and tradition.

Since only Muslims may enter Mecca, it is a place that few Americans will get to see, which makes this piece especially interesting.

Following writer/producer Michael Wolfe, the film documents his second trip or Hajj for ABC News' Nightline. One of the more than seven million Muslims in the United States, Wolfe is a convert to Islam, born to a Christian mother and a Jewish father.

Speaking live from the Ka'ba, the Great Mosque in Mecca, in an interview with ABC News' Ted Koppel, Wolfe takes viewers step-by-step through both the physical and spiritual aspects of the pilgrimage, explaining the origins and meanings of the various rituals.

Very peculiar indeed to see the spectacle of a Western convert to Islam, the religion that 'teaches all people to get along.' (Did someone forget to tell al Qaida?) What sort of dysfunctional Western personality would find any meaning in such alien faith and practice?

When I achieve a descent level of knowledge of Islam,when I pray 5 times a day and pure myself from bad thoughts, I'll complete Hajj. Now.... My only concern is that I will get lost there from my husband :)))))
