A rhythmic, beautifully filmed journey through a day at al-Masjid al-Haram, the Sacred Mosque at Makkah, the heart of the Islamic world. Naturally, and authentically, the filmmakers follow the observance of the Five Daily Prayers as they open window after window into the workings of this center of the Pilgrimage to Makkah, the Hajj, and the Ancient House rebuilt by Abraham and Ishmael as commanded by God Almighty, which Muslims turn toward every day when they stand, bow and prostrate before the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The human element in the maintenance and care of this Holy Sanctuary is rightfully highlighted in this amazing documentary, one of discovery and wonder. One Day In The Haram is not merely a film to watch. Rather it is a beautifully woven visual and aural experience of the center of Islam.
