About This Book
Getting the Best Out of Al-Hajj by Abu Muneer Ismail Davids is a detailed guide to Hajj and Umrah. It serves both people preparing to travel and readers who want to learn the specifics of how Hajj is performed. It gives a realistic picture of Hajj as it is today, explains every rite, and covers related fiqh on Hajj, prayer, and personal conduct according to the Qur'an and Sunnah.
The author teaches classes and gives lectures to Muslims and non-Muslims, and Hajj is his main subject. He performed his obligatory Hajj in 1989 and lived in Saudi Arabia for fifteen years, which allowed him to stay close to pilgrims year after year and learn from their experiences. That background shows in the book's practical advice on planning, what to expect, and how to make the most of the time spent in the holy cities.
