Description :
This once in a lifetime journey is an overwhelming experience because of the relationship between the guest and the Host. The Host is the Creator and the guests are His servants, beginning from Prophet's Adam, Ibrahim and the Beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace & blessings be upon them all, to those of us who will be blessed to visit Makkah.
In view of the tremendous blessings of Hajj, the Messenger of Allah, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, urged the Muslims to take this auspicious journey. Hadrat Abu Hurayrah, Radi Allahu ta'ala anhu, reports the Messenger of Allah, Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, said, ''whosoever performs the pilgrimage for the sake of Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, and he does not sin whilst performing it, he returns home cleansed of all sins like the day he was born from his mothers womb. '' [Muslim Shareef]
Hajj, A Practical Handbook for Pilgrims is a well presented and researched handbook containing details of the important laws of the pilgrimage - fiqh [Islamic Jurisprudence] as well as how to perform the Hajj and Umrah. With maps, diagrams and indispensable guidelines.
