Step-by-Step Guide

Detailed Rituals Explanation

Intention (Niyyah)

Before entering the state of Ihram, make the sincere intention (niyyah) that you are performing Umrah for the sake of Allah.

Ihram

Ihram is the special state of purity you must enter before starting Umrah.
Wear the prescribed clothing: two white unstitched garments for men, and modest clothing for women (typically simple, non-attractive attire).
Make the intention for Umrah while entering the Miqat (the designated point outside Mecca where you must enter Ihram).
Recite the Talbiyah: "LabbaykAllahummaUmrah" (Here I am, O Allah, for Umrah).

Arrival In Meeca (Masjid al-Haram)

Once you arrive at the Masjid al-Haram (the Grand Mosque), the first thing you should do is approach the Kaaba.
Perform Tawaf al-Qudum (the welcoming Tawaf) as a greeting upon arrival

Tawaf (Circumambulation of the Kaaba)

Tawaf involves walking around the Kaaba seven times in a counter clock wise direction, starting from the Black Stone (al-Hajar al-Aswad).
You must keep the Kaaba on your left side as you complete each circle. During Tawaf, it’s encouraged to make supplications and prayers.

Praying at Maqam Ibrahim

After completing Tawaf, offer two Rak'ahs of prayer near the Maqam Ibrahim (the Station of Ibrahim), if possible. This is where Prophet Ibrahim is believed to have stood while building the Kaaba.

Drinking Zamzam Water

After praying at Maqam Ibrahim, it’s a Sunnah (recommended practice) to drink from the sacred Zamzam well water, located within the Masjid al-Haram.

Performing Sa'i (Walking Between Safa and Marwah)

Walk between the hills of Safa and Marwah seven times (starting at Safa).
After completing the seven rounds, you will have finished the Sa'i ritual. This is one of the key rites of Umrah.

Shaving or Trimming Hair

Men: After completing Sa'i, it is a Sunnah for men to either shave their heads or trim a small portion of their hair. Shaving is preferred as it symbolizes purity.
Women: Women are to trim a small portion of their hair, usually about the length of a fingertip.

Leaving Ihram

After shaving or trimming the hair, you can now exit the state of Ihram and resume normal activities, but the sacredness of Ihram remains until you complete the pilgrimage.
