Description:: Here, the recitation concludes and the prayer begins. This shift marks a transition from the singular naming of prophets and sheikhs, in the form of call and response, to a more communal moment. The prayer-leader petitions God and the assembly responds, “Inshallah,” roughly translated, “God willing.” The petitions recorded here: to visit Mecca, to circle the Ka’aba, to drink the waters of Mecca’s holy springs.
