Umrah, often called the minor pilgrimage, isn't obligatory but is a great way to renew faith. It's a practice of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and offers significant rewards. He did Umrah multiple times, setting an example for believers to do it as often as they wish in their lives.
For those new to this religious practice, the process might seem confusing. If you're planning Umrah this April, we've outlined the necessary steps below to help you navigate through it easily.
When pilgrims reach Masjid al-Haram in the special state of Ihram, they start reciting Talbiya. It's a way of showing they're there in this holy place. While they move towards the Holy Kaaba, they keep saying words that show the oneness of the Almighty."
The next step is circling the Kaaba seven times while praying. People start at the sacred Black Stone, moving in an anti-clockwise direction. Each circle, called Tawaf, usually takes about 20 minutes. But the time can change if it's crowded. If it's too packed, some do Tawaf from the top floor of the Masjid.
"After finishing the seven circles, pilgrims head to Maqam-e-Ibrahim. There, they recite verses from the Quran. After this, they visit the holy Zamzam well to drink its water, which has a special place in Islamic history. Pilgrims also bring empty bottles to take some of this pure water home, as it's believed to have healing properties.
The next part of Umrah is Sai, done on the mounts of Safa and Marwah. It's an essential step where pilgrims walk seven times between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah. This act holds significance in Islamic history.
Taqsir is an important part of Umrah where you cut or shorten your hair. It's the final task of Umrah, and once done, you don't need to stay in the state of Ihram anymore.
