Top 10 Islamic Books for Hajj & Umrah

And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah.

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:196)

Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and one of the most significant acts of worship in Islam. Hajj is a long process and includes many things that need to be done in a fixed time, i.e. from 8 Dhul-Hijjah to 12 Dhul-Hijjah. As we are at the end of Shawwal, the month of Hajj (Dhul-Hijjah) is nearby. People intending to go for Hajj 2024 should accelerate their preparations and learn the Hajj process wisely to avoid any end-time hassle and confusion while performing Hajj.

Umrah, also called a minor Hajj, has numerous spiritual benefits. It doesn’t require any specific time to complete Umrah; a Muslim can perform Umrah any time during the year.

Hajj & Umrah are important worshipping acts in Islam and require the utmost dedication from the performers to complete them ideally. While the Hajj is mandatory and the Umrah is optional, there are many differences between Hajj and Umrah. But these differences don’t limit the benefits of any of them, as both Hajj and Umrah if performed righteously, will bring you closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.

When a religious act has immense benefits related to Deen and Duniya, it becomes our responsibility to perform it ideally without making mistakes. To perform Hajj and Umrah in the proper manner, every Muslim must learn about them in detail. The best way to learn anything is to read from authentic sources, isn’t it? So, we are sharing a list of the top 10 books for Hajj & Umrah that are handy and will help you to understand the Hajj and Umrah process conveniently.

Why To Read Hajj & Umrah Books?

As we know, the importance of Hajj and Umrah in Islam. These acts grant forgiveness if accepted by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. If you are going for Hajj 2024 or planning to visit Makkah for Umrah, reading Hajj and Umrah books to learn the process in detail is an excellent way to start the preparation. In many places, seasonal camps are organised by Islamic communities to teach people the right way to perform Hajj. These camps are often organised a few days before the Hajj timings, so it is better to start understanding how to perform Hajj and Umrah early. 

Also, we often forget the Hajj steps while performing Hajj, such as what to do in Mina. How many stones should I collect for Rami? and more. If we keep Hajj and Umrah books handy while performing them, it becomes easier to follow the right process and the chances of errors are reduced.
