Historical Depth, Spiritual Elegance

Titled “Mecca and Medina During the Reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II,” this work combines academic clarity with spiritual sensitivity in a trilingual narrative presented in Turkish, English, and Arabic. Prepared for historians and researchers as well as for all readers who hold a special place in their hearts for the Holy Cities (Haramayn), this album offers an unforgettable journey into the spiritual geography of the Ottoman world.
