The Quest for Baraka – Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Palestine

Beyond Jerusalem, it is within Palestine that perhaps the largest number of sites revered by Muslims can be found. Many of these are related to prophets and personalities honoured not only by Muslims, but by Jews and Christians as well such as, most notably, the Haram al-Ibrahimi (Sanctuary of Abraham) who was patriarch of the prophets and the first Muslim, as well as places associated with Jesus Christ who is an important and highly respected prophet in Islamic belief.
