The call to the holy land is an opportunity and an invitation from Allah SWT. Not all individuals have the opportunity to go there even though there is enough money and all the necessities are available. The fact is that performing Hajj and Umrah is an obligation that must be fulfilled by Muslims once in their lifetime if they are able. For the Pilgrims who have the opportunity to go and attend the Holy Land, there are definitely many stories of joy and sorrow that will be shared together. This study will relate issues, problems and popular cases that have happened among pilgrims and Umrah especially in Malaysia. This study is also linked to themes such as hajj, umrah and pilgrimage. This study uses an exploratory approach to literature review to review elements of problems, issues and cases related to the Malaysian congregation. The findings of the study found that various issues that occur among Hajj and Umrah Pilgrims are factors that contribute greatly to problems faced by pilgrims when performing Umrah and Hajj. Hopefully the findings of this study will be able to help those who are responsible for managing all matters related to Hajj and Umrah in Malaysia to continue to provide good and smooth services.
