A few years ago, Zirrar, poet, photographer and key member of the Sacred Footsteps team, went on an incredible journey. Having already spent considerable time in Iran, he decided to set out alone, in search of the tomb of Imam Ghazali. In this episode, Zirrar reads his beautiful article recounting that journey.
A written version of Zirrar’s journey (along with photos) can be found here: Searching for the Tomb of Imam Ghazali: The Personal Journey of a Lost Pilgrim

Support Our Work
Up to this point, Sacred Footsteps has been sustained financially by our own small team of volunteers, but in order for us to progress and grow as an organization, we need your support.
We are committed to creating high-quality content. Our work highlights aspects of Muslim history and culture that are often overlooked and focuses on providing resources for Muslim travelers. We are also committed to challenging Orientalist narratives in travel writing and photography and showcasing the work of writers and photographers whose work actively seeks to 'reclaim' the narrative.
If you enjoy our content and believe in our vision, please consider supporting us financially by either becoming a Patron - or making a one-off contribution to Sacred Footsteps. Thank you and keep us in your prayers!
