Circling the House of God

Born in 1909, Dr Martin Lings, also known as Shaykh Abu Bakr Siraj ad-Din,
was revered by people all over the world as a ‘Friend of God’: a man whose
saintly radiance touched the lives of all those who looked to him for
guidance. In 1938, as a young man in his late 20s, he embraced Islam,
entering deeply into its spirit; and the books he went on to write bear
witness to the profundity and the subtlety of that spirit which he came to
embody and exemplify.

In 1948 he performed the Hajj or pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. Using
unique archive material, this documentary film recollects his experience
along with his insight into its historical background. An indefatigable
traveller to the very end, he made the last of his annual journeys to the
East in January 2005, a few months before peacefully passing away in his
home at the age of 96.
