Abstract:
Makkah is a sacred town for Muslims around the globe. It is an old city drowned in history, whose founding dates back thousands of years. Over the centuries, it has been a home for significant occurrences related to the history of the world in general and Islam in particular. The holiness of Makkah, its tremendous significance, and its old history make it essential to apply principles for new knowledge or science that specializes in everything affiliated with this holy city. Therefore, Makkahology is the science that explores everything associated with Makkah, including spiritual, historical, doctrinal, economic, cultural, civilizational, metropolitan, geographical, topographical, and other elements. Given the city of Makkah’s position and sanctity from a religious perspective, this area retains its importance and priority. Also, the Makkahologist would be the scholar conducting this study related to Makkah.
