Umrah Guide Help you How to Perform it

• The word Umrah literally translates to to
  visit a populated place. In Islam, Umrah means
  visiting the Kaabah and performing all the
  required practices. There is no specific time for
  performing, giving Umrah Guide with International

  done all throughout the year. It can also be
  performed along with Hajj.

The Four Pillars of Umrah

• Ihram is assumed at the Meeqat. Tawaaf is
  performed by walking around the Kaabah. Walking
  between As-safaa and Al-Marwah is called Say. It
  consists of seven circuits. The last pillar of
  Islam is Tahal-lul in which the pilgrim comes out
  of his state of Ihraam.

Difference between Hajj and Umrah.

• Umrah does not require the pilgrims to travel to
  Minaa, Arafaat, and Muzdalifah. Throwing pebbles
  at the stone pillars (the ones representing
  devils) is practiced during Hajj, so is
  sacrificing an animal.

Performing Umrah.

• First and foremost, the pilgrims are required to
  take a bath (if convenient) upon their arrival at
  Meeqaat. This is recommended for both men and
  women (those undergoing postnatal bleeding).
  Putting on perfume on the head and beard is also
  observed.

Entering The Sacred Mosque

• The sacred mosque ( Al Masjid Al Haram) should
  always be entered with the right foot while
  saying
• Bismillaah, Allahumma Salli Alaa Muhammad,
  Allahumma Ighfirli waftahli Abwaaba Rahmatik.
• (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).

Arriving at The Kaabah.

• The pilgrim should approach the Black stone and
  if possible touch it with the right hand and kiss
  it. If such is not possible, then one should
  simply point towards it. Next, the pilgrim should
  walk on his left side and approach Yamaani (if
  possible) and touch it. If not, then the pilgrim
  should continue with the Tawaaf.

8
Safaa and Marwaah

• The next part is going to Safaa and Marwah. Mount
  Safaa is climbed by the pilgrim and supplication
  is made. After descending Mount Safaa, the
  pilgrim is required to go towards Marwah. (This
  completes one circuit). A total of seven circuits
  is to be completed thus.

9
Completion of Umrah.

• The last stage of Umrah is to come out of the
  state of Ihraam. This is done by shaving the hair
  (for men) or cutting the hair measuring about one
  fingertip from the end (for women).
