My brother pilgrim, as there is for every group a leader and for every journey a guide, the leader of the Hajj group is the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and their guide is his example and Sunnah, for he has said “ take from me your rites of Hajj”. Therefore it's incumbent on everyone who approaches the House of Allah for hajj or Umrah to learn the way it was performed by the prophet (peace be upon him) through accurate guide books and by asking scholars about any uncertainties one may have. This book is written in clear language and has a new format which presents and simplifies for you the rulings pertaining to Hajj and Umrah which I hope you will make use of as your guide.

The Sword of Allah: Khalid bin Al-Waleed: Khalid bin Al-Waleed was one of the greatest generals in history, and one of the greatest heroes of Islam.

Akram of the Pakistan Army, in October 1969. The author learnt Arabic in order to draw on the earliest historical sources and he visited every one of Khalid's battlefields in order to draw analyses from the viewpoint of military strategy, including reconciling conflicting historians' accounts. The book was originally published by the Army Education Press, Rawalpindi, Pakistan and printed by Feroze Sons Publishers in Lahore, Pakistan.
