As a result of the failure occurred as the Ottomans failed to defend Mecca and Madinah and had no choice other than to retreat towards Anatolia, some certain issues emerged as to the condition of these holy cities with regard to the Muslim dominion thereof and our consciousness concerning Hajj and ‘Umrah today. As a matter of fact, there are certain issues not to be forgotten nowadays in order to speak necessarily of “the consciousness regarding Mecca and Medina as well as Hajj and ‘Umrah”. In this context, we tried to elaborate the first hajj and ‘umrah as fulfilled by our Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and thus their place and meaning in Islam and in the perfection of Muslim life, the history of Mecca and Medina in general. Moreover, by taking the cooperation between Wahhabiyya and Saudi Family into consideration, we tried to evaluate the process in which Mecca and Medina were disengaged from Ottoman Empire, the establishment of Hijaz Hashemite Kingdom under the leadership of Sharif Hussein and the Saudi State under the leadership of Saudis from the theological and political viewpoint. Thus, we reassessed these issues by drawing attention to some well-known elements in order to reveal our main point here. Finally, we put forth the remarks concerning the issues on the consciousness of Hajj and ‘Umrah as fulfilled today as well as on Mecca and Madinah which are under the dominion of Saudi Arabia with a Salafī-Wahhabī theological stand. In this regard, we can say that the underlying peculiarity of our article is centred on its content and the conclusion rather than the historical material it compiled.
