Among the rights
that Allah has places upon His servants is Hajj. This pilgrimage is one
of the five pillars of Islam and its obligation comprises a dynamically
complex mixture of rituals, encampments, journeys and other rights that
provide the pilgrim with an experience that deserves every ounce of
struggle is demands.
This DVD contains a lecture detailing the rites of Hajj and explaining
the practical means of fulfilling them. The lecture was delivered by
Imam Tahir Anwar at the South Bay Islamic Association in San Jose,
California, during the summer of 2006, and the video and photos are from
the Hajj in December 2006. It includes the prerequisites, visiting
Makkah and Madinah, and is a very useful and step-by-step guide to

Makkah, Madinah, and the days of Hajj: Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifah,
Jamaraat, and much more. The DVD also includes a demonstration of how to
wear the Ihram, which duas to say at various stages, and items to bring
with you during this once-in-a-lifetime journey. A 3D tour the Kaaba
provides a visual reference for important landmarks.

Muzdalifah, Mount Uhud , Masjid Qiblatain, and more.
About the DVD
A group of young American Muslims planned to perform Hajj in December
2006/1427H. They began their preparations one year in advance and held
monthly meetings at their homes in order to be well prepared. They
attended Imam Tahir Anwar’s annual Hajj training workshop at the South
Bay Islamic Association in San Jose, California. Shafath Syed, a member
of this group thought it would be beneficial for many others to have
access to this workshop and information.
The workshop in this DVD was conducted in July 2006 specifically for
this group. Imam Tahir Anwar traveled with the group of American Muslims
and Shafath Syed videotaped and photographed the entire experience
specifically for this DVD so that we could share this experience with
the world and be in your prayers.
During this Hajj Imam Tahir Anwar was
featured in the
CNN
special “Hajj: The Essential Journey”.
