Every year many pilgrims from Kashmir and from across India set out for Hajj and Umrah. A clear guide in a familiar language helps them prepare with confidence and perform their worship correctly.

Why a Hajj Wa Umrah guide matters

Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam. Allah Almighty has made it obligatory once in a lifetime upon every adult Muslim who is physically and financially able to make the journey, as the Qur’an states in Surah Aal Imran. Umrah is a separate act of worship that can be performed at any time of the year and can be completed in a few hours, while Hajj takes place on fixed days of Dhul Hijjah and involves more rites. Because both journeys are often made only once or twice in a lifetime, pilgrims need to learn the steps beforehand. A good guide prevents confusion, helps avoid mistakes in ihram and in the rites, and lets the pilgrim focus on worship instead of worry.

The rites a pilgrim prepares for

• Entering ihram at or before the miqat, with its two plain garments for men and its prohibitions
• Tawaf: going around the Kaaba seven times
• Sa’i: walking seven times between Safa and Marwah
• The days of Hajj: Mina on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah, standing at Arafah on the 9th and the night at Muzdalifah
• Stoning the jamarat, the sacrifice, and shaving or trimming the hair
• Tawaf al-Ifadah and, before leaving Makkah, the farewell tawaf

Why Urdu and Roman English

Many pilgrims understand Urdu well when it is spoken but find the Urdu script slow to read, especially younger people educated mainly in English-medium schools. Others are most comfortable with Urdu script. By offering the guide in Urdu and Roman English, Hajj Wa Umrah allows members of the same family to use one book together. A son or daughter can read the Roman English while an elder parent follows the Urdu, which is very helpful when families travel for Hajj or Umrah together.

Who should read Hajj Wa Umrah

• First-time pilgrims preparing for Hajj or Umrah
• Families travelling together who read different scripts
• Pilgrims attending Hajj training camps who want a book to revise from
• Those who have performed Hajj before and want to refresh their knowledge
• Anyone who wishes to give a meaningful gift to a relative leaving for the blessed lands

How to use this Hajj Wa Umrah guide

Begin reading well before the journey, ideally a few weeks ahead. Go through the rites in order and picture each step: where you will be, what you will say and what you will do. Mark the pages you find difficult and ask a knowledgeable person about them. Carry the book with you during the journey for quick reference at each stage. Practise the supplications in advance so that you can say them from the heart. Above all, keep your intention purely for Allah, remember the example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who taught his Companions the rites of Hajj during his Farewell Pilgrimage, and follow his way as closely as you can.

A gift for those setting out

A Hajj or Umrah guide is a thoughtful gift for a parent, grandparent, relative or friend preparing for the journey. It shows care for their worship and gives them something useful to carry in their bag. When a whole family is travelling, giving each member a copy lets everyone revise at their own pace.
