Books on Hajj and Umrah

For Muslims, the pilgrimage to Mecca represents the journey of a lifetime. We all dream of going there at least once to get closer to Allah, but also to see the Kaaba, to which we turn every day when we pray. But as with any trip, you need to be well prepared. And for that, there's nothing like a book on omra and hajj!

The book on omra and hajj: your guide to Mecca

Why is it important to have this kind of book to hand? Well, imagine going to a country you know nothing about, without a guidebook. You'd be a bit lost, wouldn't you? It's exactly the same with the hajj and omra. Before you set off, you'll need to learn the rites and rules to which pilgrims must adhere.

On our website, you'll find a wide range of books on the basics of the pilgrimage to Mecca. Some even include illustrations to give you clarity, such as Hajj & 'Umra in pictures. But if you don't know how to handle a new environment, don't worry. Generally speaking, omra agencies will provide you with a guide to accompany you on your spiritual journey.

We still recommend that you learn the rites of hajj and omra. Indeed, scholars affirm that knowledge of the acts of devotion you perform is obligatory. So if you go to Mecca with the aim of performing an omra or hajj, but don't learn beforehand, you're committing a sin.

Book on omra and hajj: beyond the rites

In general, the omra lasts only a few hours, from the moment you enter a state of sacredness. The hajj, on the other hand, takes several days. After that, pilgrims enjoy their time in Islam's first two holy places, Mecca and Medina.

Apart from your pilgrimage, there are many places to visit. Some books are real guides, so you won't miss a thing during your stay. Some guide you to the places to visit in these two holy cities. Some also highlight their importance from a religious point of view.

If you're planning a family trip, there's a book on the omra and hajj aimed at children and teenagers. They'll find images that will make them feel as if they've already been there.

Preparing for your trip

Whether you're about to leave or simply dreaming of making the Hajj or omra one day, these books are real treasures. They'll help you understand, prepare and, above all, live this unique experience to the full.

Don't hesitate to get the book on omra and hajj you need to acquire the necessary knowledge. May Allah enable each and every one of us to go, and may He make this journey a cause in our reformation.
