About The Book
Hakadha Kanu (Thus They Were) is Sayyid Abbas b. Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani's beloved cultural history of Mecca al-Mukarrama and the way of life of its people in the late Ottoman and early Saudi periods. Written from the perspective of a senior Hijazi sayyid who lived through the transition, the work documents the rhythms of life in Mecca that have since vanished: the manners of the merchant class, the relations between sharifs and pilgrims, the practices of mosque and school, the popular religion, the seasonal patterns of Hajj and Ramadan, the food and dress and speech of the holy city before its modern transformation. A treasured memoir of traditional Meccan life.
