The e-guides are available in Arabic, English, French, Urdu, Bengali, Indonesian, Malay, Hausa, Amharic, Farsi, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, and Sinhalese. They give Hajj and Umrah pilgrims the fundamental information they require about every facet of their pilgrimage in a straightforward, comprehensive manner.
The educational guides, which include translations, provide pilgrims with all necessary religious, medical, procedural, and logistical information, were created to be visually appealing and illustrative using a wide variety of cutting-edge images, illustrations, and brief educational videos.

The 10,178-page manuals, which are available for free access anywhere, anytime, and on any device, were created in strategic partnership with the General Authority for Awqaf and other governmental organisations that offer services to pilgrims during Hajj.
