Purpose of Umrah

صلى اهلل عليه أن رسول اهلل أبي هريرة عن

العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهما :قال وسلم

.والحج المبرور ليس له جزاء إال الجنة

The Prophet (SAW) said: "(The performance of) Umrah is an expiation for

the sins committed between it and the previous Umrah; and the reward of Hajj

Mabrur is nothing but Jannah”

[Bukhari and Muslim].

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (ra) reports that Rasoolollah (saw) said,

“Perform Hajj and Umrah one after the other for surely they (Hajj and Umrah) remove poverty and sins just as the furnace removes dirt of iron, gold and silver.”

(Tirmidhi, Nasa’ee)

Umrah Tawaaf Tawaf around the Ka'bah

times

ALLAA HUMMA INNEE U’REE-DUL taawafa FA-YAS-SIR HAA LEE WA

TA QAB-BAL-HAA MIN-NEE

Al-Idtiba‘ ( اإلضطباع ): MEN ONLY

over the left shoulder

◦ throughout the seven rounds of Tawaf

◦ Idtiba is the only time the shoulder will be

uncovered.

Ar-Ramal ( الرمل ): MEN ONLY

◦ a strong and quick walk with boldness, in which the

shoulders are thrust forwards.

◦ in the first three rounds, then walk normally in the

rest

Umrah is a personal Ibadah (worship) between a servant and their creator

Go straight to the Black Stone and facing it make takbeer like the way for Salah and recite

Then kiss it, and make sajda upon as the Prophet (pbuh) did that.

If your are not able to kiss it then touch it with your right hand then kiss your hand.

If you cannot touch it you should make a sign towards it with your hands and kiss your hand softly without making a sound.

Bismillahi Allahu Akbar

The Black Stone & Istilaam

Remaining Istilaam’s

Tawaf/Sa'y counter beads

One tawaaf will have 8 Istilaams. One for each circuit and one at the end (7 + 1 = 8)

1. You will not turn your body towards the Kabah but just your chest.

2. Make the gesture of touching the Hajarul Aswad with your hands and then kiss your hands once without making a sound.

Tawaf – Notes (1)

1.You do not have to say your intention out loud to begin Tawaf. Saying intentions out loud is something the Prophet (pbuh) never did except after Ihraam when he said, “Labbayk Allahuma Labbayk”

2.A state of wudhu’ is required for all kinds of Tawaf.

3.A menstruating woman does not make Tawaf until she becomes pure.

4.All kinds of Tawaf, including optional Tawaf, consist of seven circuits around the Ka'bah.

Tawaf – Notes (2) Continue Tawaf without interruption, unless it is necessary,

otherwise it will be void.

When it is time for the obligatory Salaat you stop your Tawaf,

join the Salaat in your place and then resume your Tawaf from

where you left.

If you need to go to the bathroom you may interrupt your

Tawaf and go. Make Wudu before coming back to resume your

Tawaf. You resume your Tawaf from where you left. However,

some scholars say that you need to start over from the

beginning of that circuit only (this is a safer option).

The Ka’bah should be to your left. Do not do Tawaf with your

back or right to the ka’bah. Do not walk backwards.

Tawaf shall be performed within the boundaries of Al-Masjid Al-

Haraam.

1. To stand longer than needed at the hajarul Aswad. This is done to prolong the Ad'iyah and Ishaarah

2. Men who only wear the bottom garment of the Ihraam. This exposes their sattar at times which is Haraam.

3. To have the Kaba in any other direction but the LEFT. 4. To push and shove anyone. This is HARAAM 5. To prey Salah behind Maqaam Ibraheem or prolong

supplication when there are large crowds. 6. To perform tawaaf from inside the Hateem. 7. To crowd, push and shove for the sake of touching

or kissing the Hajarul-Aswad. 8. To recite specific Duas for each circuit of the Tawaaf. 9. To raise your voice whilst making dua during Tawaaf.

This causes disturbances to fellow Muslims. 10. To touch or kiss the Kaba other than the Hajarul-

Aswad or Rukn Yamaani.

Mistakes of Tawaaf

- If there is a rush, pray your two Rakaahs where ever possible.

Maqam Ibraheem مقام إبراهيم

1.When you finish the 7th round cover your right shoulder and move to the Place of Ibraheem.

2.Place the Maqam Ibraheem between yourself and the Ka'bah and then pray two rak'ahs. And recite therein Surat Al-Kafiroon and Surat Al-Ikhlas.

Facing the Kabah, drink Zamzam water to your full.

Sa’y between Safa & Marwah

Once on top of the Safa, face the Ka’ba and say:

Sa’y between Safa & Marwah

1. Then you descend from Safa and start walking in

the direction of Marwah.

2. You walk till you reach the green sign-post. You

then jog till you reach the next green sign-post.

Then you walk up to al-Marwah and ascend it.

3. Do upon Marwah as you did upon Safa. This forms

one complete lap.

The green markings/lights are known as Meelain Akh’darain

Halq or Taqseer

1.Then when you finish the seventh lap upon

the Marwah you shave the hair of your

head, thus ending the 'Umrah.

2.Women trim their hair the length of a

finger joint.
