ASSALAMU ALAIKUM
This is BASHA, I have designed this BLOG for those who are going to perform umrah for the first time.
Hope this will clear all their doubts and make them to perform their Umrah perfectly.
Performing UMRAH involves 4 steps.
STEP1: WEARING IHRAM DRESS.
STEP2: Performing TAWAAF (Doing 7 circuit left wise or counter clock wise of KABAH). STEP3: Performing SA’EY (Moving in between SAFA AND MARWAH 7 TIMES).
STEP4: Do Shave your Head. (MEN MUST SHAVE THEIR HEAD).
Lets See each steps in detail.
STEP1: GETTING INTO IHRAM

| PIC1: IHRAM DRESS |
- Clean yourself: Remove Unwanted Hair; Cut Nails…..
- Take Full Bath or atleast make Wudhu (Ablutions).
- Before reaching the MEEQAT boundary MEN should get into the IHRAM clothes. WOMEN can wear their Regular Clothes.
4. Pray 2 RAKKATS OF SALAAH – Avoid MAKROOH Times.
SURAH IKHLAAS in SECOND RAKKAT after SURAH FAATIHAH.
5. Make NIYYAT (INTENTION) for UMRAH in any language.
“ ALLAH HUMMA INNI UREEDUL UMRATA FA YASSIR HAA LEE WA
TAQABBAL HAA MINNI”.
(ENGLISH: “OH! ALLAH, I INTEND TO PERFORM UMRAH; PLEASE MAKE IT
EASY FOR ME AND ACCEPT IT FROM ME. AMEEN”).
6. RECITE TALBIYYAH:
“LABBAYKA ALLAAHUMMA LABBAYK,
LABBAYKA LAA SHAREEYKA LAKA LABBAYK,
INNAL-HAMDA WAN-NI’MATA LAKA WAL-MULK,

Recite TALBIYYAH (MEN should say loudly and WOMEN to say quietly)
as many times as you can while moving to MASJID-AL-HARAM.
8. After Reaching and entering MASJID AL-HARAM,
Enter with your RIGHT FOOT and
RECITE DUAA FOR ENTERING THE MASJID.
