Now Performing Umrah in detail
If a pilgrim wishes to be ritually pure for Umrah, he
should bathe as is ascribed to all Muslims,
if convenient. He should perfume his head and beard with the best oil he can
find. There is no harm in what remains of it after Ihram.
Bathing for Ihram is Sunnah for both men and women,
including
menstruating women and those experiencing postnatal
bleeding. After
bathing and preparing himself, a. pilgrim, other than those menstruating or
experiencing postnatal bleeding, prays the obligatory prayer, if it is time.
Otherwise, he makes his intention by praying the two Sunnah Rakass which are
made each time Wudhu is performed.
I is good to pray with ones head covered and in first Rakaa one should recite
the Sura Al Kafiroon "Qul Ya Ayyu hal kafroon" and in second Rakaa Suraa Akhlas
When one finishes prayer Niyyah of Umrah is said
which is
Allahuma Inni Ureedu al Umraah fa ttaqqbbalha
minni wa yassirha li
Oh Allah I have decided to perform Umraah Accespt it
from me and make performance of it easy for me
Now the Niyyah is done now one should say: "Here
I am for Umrah--here I am, Oh 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." [Talbeeyah].
La Baik Allah huma Labbaik, Labbaik La
Shareeka Laha Labbaik, Innal Hamda wa niaamat lak wa almulk, la Shareek lak
A man raises his voice when saying this and a woman
says it so that only one beside her may hear her.
One in Ihram should say the Talbeeyah as often as
possible,
especially when times and places change. For example:
when descending or ascending during travel or when day or night approach. He
should also ask Allah for His pleasure, for Heaven and seek refuge in Allah's
mercy from Hellfire.
One should say the Talbeeyah during Umrah, starting
from the time he puts on his Ihram till he starts Tawaf. During Hajj he should
say it starting from the time he puts on his Ihram till he starts to stone
Jamrah Al- Aqaba on the Eid day.
On arival of Mecca get the baggage placed at hotel or residence and immediatly
go to Masjidul haraam When one sees the Kaaba first time one should pay as much
as he/she can and pray for what ever rightful thing one can.
When a pilgrim enters the Holy Mosque he puts forth his
right foot first and says: "In the name of Allah, may peace and blessings be
upon the Messenger of Allah. Oh Allah, forgive me my sins and open to me the
doors of Your mercy. I seek refuge in Allah the Almighty and in His Eminent Face
and in His Eternal Dominion from the accursed Satan." He approaches the Black
Stone, touches it with his right hand and kisses it. If this isn't possible, he
should face the Black Stone and point to it. It is best not to push and
shove, causing harm and being harmed by other people.
When touching the Stone, a pilgrim should say the
following: "In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest. Oh, Allah, with
faith in you, belief in Your book, loyalty to you, compliance to the way of your
Prophet Muhammad--may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him."
A pilgrim must walk, keeping the Ka'bah on his left.
When he reaches the Rukn Al Yamani he should touch, but not kiss it, and say: "
Our Lord, grant us good in this life and good in the hereafter and save us from
the punishment of the Hell-fire. Oh Allah, I beg of You for forgiveness and
health in this life and in the Hereafter." Each time he passes the Black Stone
he should say: "Allah is the Greatest."
During the remainder of his Tawaf he may say what he
pleases of
supplications, mentioning Allah, and recitation of
Quran. This is because Tawaf, Sa'yi, and Stoning the Jamrah have been devised
for the purpose of mentioning Allah. During this Tawaf it is necessary for a man
to do two things:
Al-ldhtebaa' from the beginning of Tawaf until the
end.
Al-ldhtebaa'
means placing the middle of one's Reda' under his right
arm and the ends of it over his left shoulder.
When he is finished performing Tawaf, he may return
his Reda' to its original state because the time for
Idhtebaa' is only during Tawaf.
Al-Raml during the first three circuits. Al-Raml means
speeding up one's pace with small steps. A pilgrim should walk at a normal pace
during his last four circuits. When he completes seven circuits of Tawaf, he
approaches Maqam Ibrahim and recites: "And take ye the station of Abraham as a
place of Prayer" Chapter 2, Verse 125 [2:125]. He prays two short Rakaas, as
close as conveniently possible, behind Maqam Ibrahim. During the first Rakaa he
recites Surah Al-Kafirun [Chapter 109] and during the second one Surah Al-
lkhlas[Chapter 112]. When he completes the two Rakaas he should return to the
Black Stone and touch it, if convenient. He goes out to the Mesa'a and when he
nears As-Safaa he recites: " Verily As- Safaa and Al-Marwah are among
the shrines of Allah" [2:158].
He ascends As-Safaa until he is able to see the Ka'bah.
Facing the Ka'bah and raising his hands, he praises Allah and makes any
supplications he chooses. The Prophet--may the peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him--prayed thus: "There is no Deity but Allah alone," three times,
supplicating in between.
He descends As-Safaa and heads for Al- Marwah at a
normal pace until he reaches the green marker. He should then run fast until the
next green marker. He continues toward Al- Marwah at a normal pace. When he
reaches it, he ascends it, faces the Qibla, raises his hands and repeats what he
said on As-Safaa. He descends Al-Marwah heading towards As-Safaa, taking care to
walk where walking is designated, and run where running is designated.
He continues this procedure until he completes seven
laps. Going from As-Safaa to Al-Marwah is a lap and returning is another lap.
During his Sa'yi he may recite what he wills of supplications, recitation of
Qur'an, and mentioning Allah.
In completion of Sa'yi he shaves his head. A woman
clips her hair
the length of a finger tip. Shaving is preferable,
except when Hajj is near and there isn't sufficient time for hair to grow back.
In this case it's best to clip so that hair will remain for shaving during Hajj.
With that, Umrah is completed. and a pilgrim is free to dress in other clothing,
wear perfume and engage in marital relations, etc.
