The Essential Ḥajj and ʿUmrah Guide is exactly that! Immerse yourself in the wondrous, archaic contexts behind the rites and rituals of the fifth pillar of Islam. 

A beautiful, visually stunning, easy-to-follow and clearly written book, the Essential Ḥajj and ʿUmrah Guide seamlessly couples between practical advice and spiritual insight, taking readers on a journey of reflection and introspection before they embark on their actual journeys to the sacred precincts. It is truly a must-read for all those intending to perform the holy pilgrimage. 

In addition to educating the reader on the rituals of Ḥajj and ʿUmrah, this text masterfully weaves together relevant history, Qur'anic references, prophetic traditions, scholarly wisdom, spectacular photography, relevant infographics, useful maps, and Arabic calligraphy. The text is compendious: one of the few books in the English language on the subject that is thorough yet not overly technical. The list of duʿā (with translation and transliteration), the glossary of Arabic terms, and the question-and-answer section at the back of the book are invaluable. The author has kept the Western Muslim in mind as he provides practical tips on preparing for, carrying out, and following up on the pilgrimage. May we attain a Ḥajj Mabrūr!

Abū Ṭalḥah

Abū Ṭalḥah

Abū Ṭalḥah is a student of knowledge, husband, and father of four working out of East London. Having first focused on becoming an accomplished author of children’s books, Abū Ṭalḥah then embarked upon his first major project under the guidance of multiple scholars: a relatively comprehensive guide on Ḥajj and ʿUmrah for Muslims. Abū Ṭalḥah searched and sourced some of the earliest and most beautiful images we have to the holy lands, and he coupled these with granular guidelines for Muslims worldwide. His wife—whom he describes as ‘exceptionally patient’—and family support him through his travels, charity work, and life in general.
