Some 2,000 Musafir Guide Books for Haj pilgrims were distributed by Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) to local travel agencies earlier today.

The sixth-edition guide books were distributed to Darussalam Holdings, Straits Central Agencies (B), Raudah Al-Amin and At-Taqwa Travel and Tours to help prepare Haj pilgrims for their spiritual journey this year.

The 36-page books contain the guidance and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on Haj etiquettes and self-conduct before, during and after pilgrimage prayers, among others.
