Why this <strong>Book</strong><br />
Dear Respected Brothers & Sisters:<br />
Peace be upon you.<br />
Surely all praise is for Allah. We praise Him and seek His<br />
help. We seek His forgiveness and we seek refuge <strong>in</strong> Him<br />
from the evil of our own souls and from the wickedness of<br />
our own deeds.<br />
Many of us perform <strong>Hajj</strong> committ<strong>in</strong>g Bida’h and Shirk at<br />
different stages of <strong>Hajj</strong> process due to lack of adequate<br />
and correct knowledge. We, <strong>in</strong> many <strong>in</strong>stances, follow<br />
wrong procedures because we were taught wrong. As a<br />
result, neither our <strong>Hajj</strong> is perfect nor we realize the<br />
significance of <strong>Hajj</strong>, one of the most important Fard Ibadah<br />
of Islam.<br />
Correct Imaan and Aqeedah is the foundation of Islam. All<br />

Imam of Haram Shareef (Makkah) as well as Director<br />
General of the Fatawah, Dawah and Irshad Division of the<br />
government of Saudi Arabia.<br />
We want to assure our readers of the correctness of the<br />
rituals, procedures etc. described <strong>in</strong> different pages of this<br />
book by cit<strong>in</strong>g our personal experience.<br />
We (authors of the book) performed <strong>Hajj</strong> <strong>in</strong> 2010 <strong>in</strong> a large<br />
group of males and females from Toronto under the<br />
leadership of Sheikh Abdul Menaem, currently the Imam,<br />
Quran Sunnah Society (QSS), Toronto. He was our<br />
spiritual guide. <strong>The</strong> Sheikh is a Libyan Arab, his mother<br />
tongue is Arabic, and he is a vastly learned person <strong>in</strong><br />
