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 />

Correct Imaan and Aqeedah is the foundation of Islam. All<br />

has been taken from the orig<strong>in</strong>al written by Sheikh Abdul<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 />
