HOW TO PERFORM UMRAH<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Two things that are Faradh in <strong>Umrah</strong>:<br />
1) In Ihraam the Niyyah and Talbiyah both are Faradh,<br />
2) In Tawaaf only the Niyyah is Faradh.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Two wajib acts in <strong>Umrah</strong> are:<br />
1) Sa’ee between Safaa and Marwah<br />
2) Halaq/Qasar (men), Cutting about an inch long hairs (women)
5 Things to do once reaching Haram<br />
<br />
1) Keep on reciting Talbiyah once entering Haram. It begins after<br />
niyyah and its time finishes before you do Istilaam for the 1 st time.<br />
<br />
When performing <strong>Umrah</strong>, Talbiyah is not recited at all during Tawaaf,<br />
nor it is recited again after Tawaaf.<br />
<br />
Wudu is essential for tawaaf.<br />
<br />
2) Once you enter Haram do niyyah for nafl itekaaf.<br />
Move towards Baitullah Sharif while keeping your gaze low. Why ?<br />
The dua that you make when you look at the Baitullah Sharif for the<br />
fist time is accepted. (Hadith)
5 Things to do once reaching Haram<br />
<br />
What dua to make? O Allah! Please make me “ mustajaab ud<br />
da’waat” (Iman Abu Hanifa R.A.)<br />
<br />
3) Iztabaa : Pass the upper sheet of Ihraam from underneath the right<br />
arm and put it on the left shoulder. This act bares the right shoulder.<br />
<br />
Niyyah of Tawaaf: Either in the mind or verbally as follows:<br />
<br />
(O Allah! I intend to make Tawaaf of seven circuits around Your House, so make it<br />
easy for me and accept it.)

4) Istaqbaal: Stand facing Hajre<br />
Aswad but slightly towards the<br />
left, in such a position that your<br />
right shoulder is in line with it.<br />
Now raise both hands till the ears<br />
(as in salah) and recite:<br />
<br />
(In The Name of Allah. Allah is The<br />
Greatest and all Praises are due unto<br />
Allah.)

<br />
5) Istilaam : Now raise your<br />
hands in front of the face with the<br />
palms turned towards hajre<br />
aswad. And recite<br />
<br />
Then kiss both palms beginning<br />
with the right hand.<br />
<br />
Tawaaf begins: After Istilaam,<br />
turn right and start tawaaf<br />
counter clockwise.
Ramal: To walk at a brisk pace with the shoulders upright and chest out.<br />
This is only done by men for the first three showts or circuits and is Sunnah.<br />
<br />
The End of Tawaaf: At the end of seven circuits, do istilaam of Hajre<br />
Aswad now iztabaa is finished, therefore, you cover your both shoulders<br />
with upper portion of the Ihraam sheet.<br />
<br />
Now offer two rakaats wajib of Tawaaf at any place behind the Maqaame<br />
Ibrahim or anywhere in the masjid and make extensive dua.<br />
<br />
Thereafter go and drink the zamzam and make extensive dua.

time and move towards<br />
