Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Subhaa-nalathee, Sakha-ra-la-naa ha-thaa wa maakunaa, lahu muq-ri-nee-na wa innaa ilaa rabbinaa la-mun-qa-le-boon

(Allaah is the greatest x3, 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.)

At a journey break, you may say:

A’uthoo bi-kalimaa tillaah-hitammaa ti-min sharri maa khalaq

(I take refuge in Allaah’s perfect words from the evil that He has created.)

NB.During your journey keep yourself in the remembrance of Allah (make dhikr, make dua,

read quran, read Islamic Book etc). Remember this is the start of your journey to the House ofAllah, and you have been given an invitation from Málik Al-Mulk (Owner and King of allKingdoms), so Praise and Glorify Him.

Once you are a traveller (having left your areas of residence), and the next Salah is due, you cancombine and shorten them as this is a concession from Allah.

Dhur (2 Rakaats) & Asr (2 Rakaats) togetherMaghrib (3 Rakaats) & Ishaa (2 Rakaats) togetherRead as many sunnah/nawafil as you like, there is no restriction.

2. Before passing the Meeqat – (the place where the Umrah starts, and one enters 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

Labbaik Allaahumma ‘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 theirUmrah, one may add the following, by doing so if one can not complete the Umrah for whateverreason; then they simply cut their hair and do not have to pay the ransom.

Allaahumma mahillee haithu habastanee

(I come out of the state of Ihraam from the place You prevent me from continuing).


2 of 23 3/2/2011 5:43 PM

Make the Talbiyah (men to raise their voices) and continue making the Talbiyah until you reachthe Kaba and start your Tawaf

Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayka laa shareeka laka labbayk, innal-hamda wan-ni’mata lakawal-mulk, laa shareeka lak

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

3. Entering Masjid Al Haram – (in Makkah, Saudia Arabia)

Enter with your right footMake duaa of the Masjid

Bismillahi, Allallhumma salli ‘alaa muhammadin wa sallim – allaahumma aftah lee abwaabarahmatika

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

4. Tawaf (7 rounds around the Ka’bah) – You must be in Wudu (ablution)

Men to leave their right shoulder bare ONLY during the entire Tawaf, this is called Idtiba’a,

after the tawaf men need to cover both shoulders.

Start at the Black Stone, eitherKiss it if you can, if notTouch it with your right hand, if notFace 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 duringthe 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 anythingFrom the Yamani corner to the Black Stone recite

Rabbanaa aatinaa fid-dunyaa hasanatan wa feel aakhirati hasanatan wa qinaa ‘adhaaban naar

(Our Lord, grant us good in this life and good in the hereafter and save us from the punishment ofthe Hellfire. [Quran; 2:201])

Once you return back to the Black Stone, you have completed 1 round, and you need to repeat theabove steps 6 more times.

NB.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,


3 of 23 3/2/2011 5:43 PM

supplicate to Allaah by asking for good, recite the Quran, anything you wish.

5. After Completing Tawaf, proceed to Maqaam-e Ibraaheem – (Prophet Ibraaheem’s

station)

Recite this verse (which means):

Wattakhidhoo min-maqaami ibraaheema musalla

(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 notpossible 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 andduring the second Rak’ah (after Surah Al Fatiha) Surah Al-lkhlaas

6. Go to Zam Zam Wells

Make duaa before drinkingDrink Zam Zam waterPour water over your headReturn to the Black Stone touch it with your right hand (as before), if it is not convenient do

nothing, and proceed to do Sai.

7. Sai (7 circuits) – having wudu is highly recommended, but not compulsory

As you leave the boundary of the Masjid, you can say (as prescribed for all Masaajid):

Bismillahi was-salaatu was-salaamu ‘alaa rasoolillahi, Allahum-ma inee a’-aluka min fadhlika,Allahum-ma a’simnee minash-shaitaanie-rajeem

(In the name of Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah. O Allaah, I ask Youfrom Your favour. O Allaah, guard from the accursed devil.)

Upon approaching Mount Safaa, the following ayaat (verse) is recited

Innas-safaa wal marwata min sha’aa’irillaahi faman hajjal baita ‘awi’tamara falaa janaaha ‘alaihian yattawwafa bihimaa wa man tatawwa’a khiran fa’innallaaha shaakirun ‘aleemun

(Verily, As-Safaa and Al-Marwah are from the symbols of Allaah. So it is not a sin on him whoperforms Hajj or ‘Umrah of the house (ka ‘bah) to perform the going (tawaaf) between them. And


4 of 23 3/2/2011 5:43 PM

whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allaah is the All-Recognizer, All-Knower. [Quran;2:158])

Abda’u bimaa bada’Allahu bihi

(Indeed Safa and Marwah are from the places of worship of Allaah…’ ‘I begin with what Allaahbegan with.)

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

Allaahu akbar allaahu akbar allaahu akbar.

(Allaah is the Greatest, Allaah is the Greatest, Allaah is the Greatest.)

Laa ilaaha illa Allah, Wahdahu laa Sharika lah, Lah ul-Mulk, Wa lah ul-Hamd, Wa huwa ‘ala Kullishay’in Qadeer, Laa ilaaha illa Allah, Anjaza wa’dah, Wa Nasara ‘abdah, Wa hazam al-Ahzabawahdah

(There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah, Alone. He has no partner, To Him belongs thekingdom, & all praise belongs to Him, & He has power above all things, There is nothing worthy ofworship except Allah, He fulfilled His promise, Granted victory to His servant, And alone Hedefeated the allied army.)

Then you Praise Allah, Send Salaam upon Muhammad (sa) and then make as much personal Du’asas you like. Pray for anything from the goodness of this life and the next, pray for both yourself andothers.Then descend from Mount Safaa and go walking towards Mount MarwahWhen 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 theQibla, 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!

NB.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 portionsof the Our’an.

8. After Completing Sai, Trim/Cut the hair

It is recommended for men are to shave all their hair, but they can trim it all the way round

Women are to shorten their hair by a finger tip.

Now all Ihraam rules are lifted,and your Umrah is completed. May Allah accept your

Umrah, Ameen!!
