About The Book

Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime journey for most of us and much has been written on the legal aspects of this sacred journey. Of the most famous books in this regard, is the widely acclaimed Manasik al-hajj of al-Imam al-Nawawi rahimahullah. 

Drawing from this classical text, Mawlana Muhammad Ayyub al-Nadwi al-Shafi‘i has compiled this hajj manual in which he provides not only a legal text but also a how-to guide that is interspersed with practical advice. This English translation of al-Manasik comprehensively discusses all aspects of hajj, from intention to completion, including the Qur’anic and Prophetic supplications suited to every occasion.

Moreover, it is infused with spirituality and consciousness which are a hallmark of an-Nawawi’s work, that have been retained across the centuries.
