Hajjis carrying the Koran under their arms

Interesting point! - Welcome to Sikhiwiki and many thanks for making this change to the article Guru Nanak in Mecca. I appreciate your effort and commitment to take the time to improve the content of this site and to properly and truly convey the history of the Sikhs and their Gurus.

I accept the point that you make and thinking about it more deeply, I wonder if so many Hajjis would have access to so much printed material - ie: Would it be possible in those days to print 1000's of copies of the Koran sharif?

I do not have any personal experience about this point but - I wonder if in those days, 500 years ago, the Hajjis did carry the Koran with them so that they could recite it whenever required. Remember that they did not have huge public address (PA) system then. I will check more on this fact before we can really determine for sure - but I assume that you have checked this matter with someone who does have real experience of being a hajji. --Hari Singh 18:02, 2 July 2006 (Central Daylight Time)
