Describe the main purpose of the Hajj in the Muslim faith, and identify two (2) specific aspects of the Hajj that you find fascinating or significant. Next, explain the association between Muhammad and the area of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Lastly, describe the sacred art of Islam’s key qualities, explain the fundamental reasons why Muslim artists of sacred works are reluctant to include images of humans(i.e, at least in sacred areas).
