Mu Val Kabay Sharif: Safarnama Hajj – منہ ول کعبے شریف

This book.. as you can see is about the incidents during Hajj. And I really have no words as how exactly to describe my feelings. Mustansar sahb has done the justice while writing this book. It would tell you history, it would give you facts. But it would also make you dive into the emotions that being a muslim always show up whenever we think or talk about Makkah and Madinah.
He thoroughly describe his feelings and thoughts during tawaaf, and while his stay at Arafaat and Minaa and so in Muzdalfa. This book moves along the journey and how it is filled with the spiritual journey as well. How muslims from far away lands get together to perform hajj and what effect it creates. And then he went to Madinah, to masjid e nabvi s.a.w.w where the emotions and feelings are other than this world.
This book generally talks about Hajj, but it also talk about cultural differences, about the true spirit and essence of Islam. The writing was simple, yet with so much depth in it that you wonder either you are diving into it too much or too less.
Taarar sahb has the style of giving the background of the place he is visitng, if you have read his other books, this book is no exception. You would come to know about historical importance of many different places that are now maybe unrecognizable. While reading, you visit the places along with him. This book has a sequel named “Ghar e Hira Main Ik Raat” that continues the journey to the cave of Hira. Both the books are one of their kind and highly recommended to everyone who wants to read more about this beautiful spiritual journey.
