Michael Wolfe's "exemplary" (Library Journal) collection of historical writings on the Hajj, now updated with a new introduction by Reza Aslan.

Since its inception in the seventh century, the pilgrimage to Mecca, or the Hajj, has been the central theme in a large body of Islamic travel literature. Beginning with the European Renaissance, it has also been the subject for a handful of adventurous writers from the West who, through conversion or connivance, managed to slip inside the walls of a city forbidden to non-Muslims. One Thousand Roads to Mecca collects significant works by observant travel writers from the East and West over the last ten centuries. The two very different literary traditions form distinct sides of a spirited conversation in which Mecca is the common destination and Islam the common subject of inquiry.

Excerpted works include travel narratives by Ibn Jubayr, Ibn Battuta, J. L. Burckhardt, Richard Burton, the Begum of Bhopal, John Keene, Winifred Stegar, Muhammad Asad, Harry St. John Philby, Lady Evelyn Cobbald, Jalal Al-e Ahmad, Malcolm X, and Michael Wolfe.

Great Value & Eco-Friendly!
Color: Brown, Size: 9inch
I love these paper plates! They’re sturdy, affordable, and perfect for everyday use. I actually have them on an auto subscription every two weeks because we use them so often. I also love that they’re biodegradable, which makes them an even better choice for our family. Definitely a great value for the price!

Great quality. 6” plate. 4.5” eating surface
Color: Brown, Size: 6inch, Color: Brown, Size: 6inch
Love the quality. No waxy feeling, ,but has a slight seal on a cardboard plate so food does not make plate soggy. I give a 4 star because, the actual surface that is usable for food is 4.5”. This can be a nice thing as the edge holds food / snack on plate.. Reasonably priced for 100 small plates. Would I buy again maybe.
