Umrah Rituals:

The basic rites of umrah are putting Ihram, after taking bath and (Muslim brother) perfume their selves. After entering the great mosque pilgrim recite Talbiyaah (Labbayk, Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayk. La shareeka laka. Labbayk. Innal-hamda wan-n’imata laka wal-mulk. La shareeka lak.“) till starting the Tawaf.

Tawaf must be start after kissing the Black stone or if one cannot kiss so just raise his/her hands toward black stone and kiss them. Circumambulate Kabaah seven times for Tawaf.

After Tawaf offer Two Rakat Prayers near the Station of Ibrahim (A.S).

Pilgrim will quench their thirst with ZamZam and then go for Sa’ee on Safa and Marwa. Sa’ee is going back and forth for seven times between the two mountains.

It starts from Mount Safa and ends on Mount Marwah. When the pilgrims done with sa’ee they shave their head or trim their hairs and put off their Ihram because they are done with their Umrah.

Rituals of umrah and Hajj

After Sa’ee the pilgrim cut their nails, trims their hairs or shaves their head and put off the Ihram. On the eight day of Zil-Hajj (The day of Tarwiya), pilgrim put their Ihram only for Hajj and perform their Hajj.

Ifraad: Ifraad is another form of Hajj in which the pilgrim wears Ihram only for Hajj. When pilgrims arrive in Makkah they perform tawaf and sa’ee for Hajj. Pilgrims does not shave or trim their hairs because they are still in the state of Ihram. They remain in the state of Ihram until they stone Jamrah on Eid day.

Qiran: It means that the pilgrim wears Ihram for Hajj and Umrah both. Obligations for Qiran are same as performing Ifraad. Expect slaughter is mandatory for the pilgrims who perform Qiran but one who performs Ifraad is exempted from this.

Step By Step Instructions on How to Perform Umrah

STEP 1

Starting From your Origination:

Do Ghusl (Complete body wash). Trim your nails and remove your pubic hair (if necessary). Perform Salah (Namaz, Prayer) of the time. Recite 2 rakats of Travelling Salah (Prayers) before you begin.
When stepping out, say the following words:


In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.

‘Bismillahi tawakkaltu ‘alallahi la hawla wala quwwata illa billah’

Read Du’a of Travelling, while sitting in your car or transport vehicle:

Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, How perfect He is, The One Who has place this (transport) at our service, and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord if our final destiny.

Allahu'Akbar Allahu'Akbar Allahu'Akbar

‘Subhanallazi sakhara lana haza wama kuna, lahoo muqreneen, wa ina ila rubbina la munqalibun.’

During your journey engage yourself in the remembrance of Allah (do zikr, make dua, read Quran…etc). This is the start of your journey to the House of Allah (SWT), and you have been given an invitation, so Praise and Glorify Him.
Once you are a traveler (having left your area of residence), and the next Salah is due, you can combine and shorten them as this is a concession from Allah.
Dhur (2 Rakaats) & Asr (2 Rakaats) together. Maghrib (3 Rakaats) & Ishaa (2 Rakaats) together. Read as many sunnah/nawafil as you like, there is no restriction.

STEP 2

Meeqat – (The place from where the Umrah starts and the pilgrims enter the state of Ihram). Men to get changed into their Ihram (2 pieces of white cloth), preferably after one of the 5 daily prayers Make niyyah (intention) for Umrah

Here I am O Allah making ‘Umraah.
If one fears that they are likely to be subjected to illness or anything else that might obstruct their Umrah, one may add the following, by doing so if one cannot complete the Umrah for whatever reason; then they simply cut their hair and do not have to pay the ransom.

dua

I come out of the state of Ihraam from the place You prevent me from continuing.
Recite the Talbiyah (men should raise their voices and women in hush tones)  until you reach the Kaba and start your Tawaf

Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am. You have no partner. Here I am. Surely all praise, grace and dominion is yours, and you have no partner.

STEP 3

Entering Masjid Al Haram – (in Makkah, Saudia Arabia). Enter with your right foot first. Recite dua of entering the Masjid

dua for entering masjid haram

In the name of Allah! O Allah! Exalt the mention of your Messenger. O Allah! Forgive my sins, and open the gates of Your mercy for me.

STEP 4

Tawaf (7 rounds around the Ka’bah) – You must be in Wudu (ablution)
Men to leave their right shoulder bare during the Tawaf, this is called Idtiba’a, after the Tawaf men need to cover both shoulders.
Start at the Hajar-e-Aswad, kiss it if you can, if not touch it with your right hand, if not face the Black Stone and point at it with your right hand
Say Bismillah, Allahu Akbar (just before kissing it/or just before or whilst touching/pointing)
For men, to Raml (hasten/briskly walk) during the first 3 rounds of Tawaf and walk normally during the other 4 rounds.
Once you reach the Yamani corner, either touch it with your right hand (do not kiss it), and say Bimsillah Allahu Akbar, or if unable, then continue without gesturing or saying anything
From the Yamani corner to the Black Stone recite

yamani dua

Our Lord, grant us good in this life and good in the hereafter and save us from the punishment of the Hellfire. [Quran; 2:201]
Once you return back to the Black Stone, you have completed 1 round, and you need to repeat the above steps 6 more times.
There is no specific duaa’s that must be read during the Tawaf. Make as many supplications from your heart, for that which will benefit you. Recite whatever you wish, supplicate to Allah by asking for good, recite the Quran, anything you wish.

STEP 5

Proceed to Maqaam-e Ibraaheem – (Prophet Ibraaheem’s station) after completing Tawaf
Recite this verse:

How to perfrom umrah

And take you (people) the Maqaam (place) of Ibraheem as a place of Prayer. [Quran; 2:125]
Pray two short Rak’ahs, as close as conveniently possible behind Maqaam-e Ibraheem. If it is not possible then you can pray them anywhere in the sacred mosque.
It is preferred to recite during the first Rak’ah (after Surah Al Fatiha), Surah Al-Kafiroon and during the second Rak’ah (after Surah Al Fatiha) Surah Al-lkhlaas

STEP 6

Go to Zam Zam Well
Make dua before drinking the Zam Zam Water
Pour water over your head
Return to the Black Stone touch it with your right hand (as before), if it is not convenient do nothing, and proceed to do Sai.

STEP 7

Sai (7 circuits) – having wudu is highly recommended, but not compulsory
As you leave the boundary of the Masjid, you can say:

(In the name of Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, I ask You from Your favour. O Allah, guard from the accursed devil.
Upon approaching Mount Safaa, the following ayaat (verse) is recited

Safa Dua

Verily, As-Safaa and Al-Marwah are from the symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or ‘Umrah of the house (ka ‘bah) to perform the going (tawaaf) between them. And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allah is the All-Recognizer, All-Knower. [Quran; 2:158]

safa marwa dua

Indeed Safa and Marwah are from the places of worship of Allah…’ ‘I begin with what Allah began with.

Then ascend upon Mount Safaa, face the Qiblah, raise your hands and recite 3 times:

takbeer

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest.

last dua

There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, Alone. He has no partner, To Him belongs the kingdom, & all praise belongs to Him, & He has power above all things, There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, He fulfilled His promise, Granted victory to His servant, And alone He defeated the allied army.Then you Praise Allah, Send Salaam upon Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and then make as much personal Du’as as you like.Then descend from Mount Safaa and go walking towards Mount Marwah,When you reach the green sign, men are to hasten their walk for a while, but do not run. Then return to your normal phase of walk at the next green sign.
Upon reaching Mount Marwah repeat the same procedure as when ascending Mount Safaa (face the Qibla, raise your hands and repeat what was said on Mount Safaa.) This completes one circuit.
Continue and complete in total 7 circuits, ending the last one on Mount Marwah. Enjoy the process. You’ve come all this way, open your heart in glorification and Dua to Allah!
There are no particular supplications to be recited between Safaa and Marwah. It is up to the worshipper to praise Allah or supplicate Him in his own words, or he may recite portions of the Our’an.

STEP 8

After Completing Sai, Trim/shave your hair. It is recommended for men to shave all their hair, but they can trim it all the way round. Women are to shorten their hair by a finger tip.

Alhumdulillah your Umrah is now completed. May Allah (SWT) accept your Umrah, Ameen!
