حج کی ادائیگی کیسے کریں؟ : سفرِ حج کا مختصر طریقہ
A detailed 61-page practical pilgrims' handbook by Mufti Abdul Rehman Munir. Originating from intensive educational workshops for intending pilgrims, this guide walks through the sacred pilgrimage step-by-step: physical and spiritual preparations, donning the Ihram, Tawaf, Sa'ee, the five crucial days of Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah, Qurbani, Rami of Jamarat, and the respectful etiquette of visiting the Prophet's ﷺ Mosque in Madinah.
Why This Book Was Written
In the opening address (Ibtidai Kalimat), Mufti Abdul Rehman Munir writes that Hajj is a magnificent obligation uniting faith, love, obedience, sacrifice, and physical endurance. Unlike bodily-only worship (Salah, Sawm) or wealth-only worship (Zakat), Hajj demands both full bodily energy and substantial financial sacrifice.
Every year hundreds of thousands of believers travel to the House of Allah, yet many lack clear comprehension of the intricate sequence of rituals, resulting in anxiety, confusion, or avoidable violations of Shari'ah. To fulfill this urgent need, the author conducted extensive training workshops across Karachi.
Due to widespread appreciation, this transcript was expanded with detailed Fiqhi rulings, practical instructions for women, remedies for common mistakes, and an invaluable question-and-answer section addressing real-life dilemmas faced by contemporary pilgrims.
“The accepted Hajj (Hajj Mabrur) has no reward other than Paradise; and whoever performs Hajj purely for Allah without indecency or sin returns cleansed of sins as on the day his mother gave him birth.”
