Research on Oral Hajj History

I have written a lot of posts on the Hajj and Hajj Doctors in this blog.

I have also shared some photos of the Hajj belonging to my grandfather, Dr Che Lah bin Mohd Joonos, who was a Hajj Doctor, in this blog and with a Hajj research (below).

I am posting about a current research at the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in Penang, conducted by Prof Mahani Musa. This research is about Oral Hajj History (refer poster). This research is a collaborative effort between USM, Prince of Songkla University of Thailand and the public.

Whoever has knowledge about various aspects of the Hajj rite and pilgrimage can contact the researchers (refer poster).

I'm sure many of our readers have some knowledge and stories of their own Hajj, about the Hajj of their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, colleagues etc. Non-Muslims who have dealt with the Hajj and pilgrims are also invited.

Some of you may have been involved directly or indirectly with the Hajj. If you have any knowledge or any involvement with the Hajj, you can contact the collaborators and tell them your story.

Whatever aspect of the Hajj which has been left out of books and publications on the Hajj, you can contact any of the collaborators and share your story.
