Futuh al-Haramayn (Revelation of the Two Sanctuaries: Mecca and Medina) (on loan)

This is one of the earliest known examples of a Futuh al-Haramayn – a guide for Muslim pilgrims embarking on Hajj. It contains the complete sequence of the Hajj rituals and includes stylised illustrations of the holy sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina. The book is written in Persian and contains a dedication to Muzaffar ibn al-Din Mahmud Shah of Gujarat, under whose jurisdiction lay the west coast ports of India from where most pilgrims would have travelled to Arabia.
