1. Ihram
- The initial meaning of Ihram is to go into a state of Haraam or Haram (a forbidden state)
- When a pilgrim declares the Niyyah (intention in one's heart to do an act for the sake of Allah) of Umrah and utters Talbiyah (a Muslim prayer raised by the pilgrims as a belief that they wish to execute the Hajj only for the glory of Allah), a certain halaal (permissible), things automatically become haram
- The two white sheets (covering) that a person wears is known as Ihram, but the real Ihram is Niyyah & Talbiyah
- If a person wears these two sheets and does not announce his intention and utter Talbiyah, he never becomes a Muhrim
- Hence, before the Niyyah and Talbiyah, he gets to cover his head during the two rakaats of Nafl, which is an act that is not permissible during the Ihram stat
Ihram for Men
For men, the Ihram comprises of two pieces of white, unsewn cloth. One is the izar, wrapped around the midriff to cover his body right above the naval to the ankles and other is rida, which is draped around the shoulders to cover the upper part of the body. With cheap Umrah Packages 2017 you'll be able to save your money and use somewhere else, during this trip.
Ihram for Women
According to the hadiths, it is not really necessary for a woman to wear such a special garment in her state of the Ihram. Women should wear a garment that usually hides the body completely, leaving the face and hands exposed. If needed, gloves can be worn too.
Procedure For Ihram
1) Preparation for Ihram
- EComb your hair
- Shave the beard
- Trim your moustache
- Nails well-trimmed
- Remove unwanted hair from body
2) Purification
Bathe with the intention of Ihram, or else, perform the wudu (ritual washing to be performed in preparation for prayer and worship). It should be noted that there are two ways of purification: The Purification of the Body and the Internal Purification with repetition of prayers.
3) Ihram Sheet
The white Ihram Sheet should be worn by men around the waist and cover the upper body with the other sheet, where as, ordinary full-covered clothes can be a woman's Ihram. Both should wear the flip-flops so that the middle bones of the feet are not fully covered.
4) Nafl Salat
If is it not makruh (undesirable) time, just two rakaats of nafl during the Ihram by covering your heads
5) Advice
If you will be travelling by an airplane, it is very convenient to be in the state of Ihram in the plane itself with Umrah Packages 2017.
Intention And Talbiyah
1) Next step is, you need to cover your head and declare your intention for the Umrah. Right after the declaration, utter the words of Talbiyah three times, as well as afterwards, as many times you can. While reciting Talbiyah, enter Masjid al-Haram preferably through Bab. Say ''Allah huma aftah li abwabe rahmate ka''. If you are unable to remember it, you can say it out in English or in any other language. The men say it out loud, while the women recite it in a subdued voice.
2) Recite the Darud Sharif and supplicate it to the Almighty God in Arabic or in any language. Get top deals for Ramadan Umrah Packages 2017 right now and do not waste time in planning this trip.
First Sight
At the first sight of the Ka'bah, keep your eyes fixed at Baitullah and stand at on side say the prayer:
Say Allahu Akbar (three times)
Say La Ilaha Illallah (three times)
Proclaim Darud on our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) in a humble state. This is the time when the prayers are accepted. With Umrah Packages 2017, the idea is to praise and uplift the creator and proclaim supplications. After this, move to perform the Tawaf of the Ka'bah.
2. Tawaf Of Ka'Bah During The Umrah
'Tawaf' means circling around something. Here, you circle the Ka'bah seven times with total devotion and love.
Preparation
Preparation can be done by passing the upper sheet of Ihram from beneath the arms and putting on the left shoulder. This act bares the right shoulder and it is known as Iztaba.
Wudu is essential for tawaf and the recitation too is needed till you reach the 'black stone' called Hajar-e-Aswad. You will surely be blessed when you book Umrah Packages 2017.
Niyaah
Stand infront of the Ka'bah in a way that the black stone is on your right, then without raising your hands make the Niyyah for Umrah.
Istilam
Now move towards the right and kiss or touch the Hajre-e-Aswad with the stick and kiss the stick too. Raise your hands to ears keeping open your palm towards the black stone.
Drop your hands and point the palms towards the black stone and kiss them. After kissing the stone, turn right and start the tawaf.
Ramal
For first three rounds, men need to move their shoulders and walk quickly. Cheap Umrah Packages 2017 are available at reasonable prices. Book them right now!
Supplications of the Tawaf
There are no fixed supplications for Tawaf, but few are recommended in the books of Hajj and Umrah, out of which, the easiest one is:
"Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu-lillahi wa la ilaha ill-Allah wa-Allahu Akbar wa la haula wa la quwwata illa-billah."
If you don’t remember these words, you may glorify Allah by repeatedly uttering:
Subhan Allah,
Al-Hamdu lilla,
Allahu Akbar,
La Ilaha Illallah, etc.
Rukn Yamani
After passing the three corners of the Ka'bah you need to reach the fourth corner known as Rukn Yamani. Touch with both hands.
Seven Circuits
At Hajar-e-Aswad, you can start the second circuit by kissing or pointing towards it. Raise your hands and say "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar Wa Lillah Hil Hamd” and now kiss both the palms and drop your hands. Towards the end of the seven rounds, kiss the black stone or point towards it.
Completion of Iztaba
You finish the Iztaba and your shoulders are covered with the Ihram Sheet. Does not apply to women. Save with cheap Umrah Packages 2017 and enjoy this precious time with your fellow pilgrims.
Multazam
Next, you come to Multazam, a highly sacred place where prayers are offered. Reach the Multazam by pressing your cheek and chest and with trembling and crying you seek blessings.
Zamzam
After completing the Tawaf, go to the Zamzam well, in the basement of the Haram, 200 feet from the Kabah door. Drink this water in standing position and surrender to Allah.
"Allahummah inni as’aluka ilm-an naafi’an wa rizqan waasi’an wa shifa’am min kulli daa’in."
(O Allah! I plead Thee for beneficial knowledge, for large provisions, and for cure from every disease.)
3. Sa'ye
How to Perform the Sa'ye
Perform the Sa'ey, same way by kissing the black stone the ninth time and do the Istilam of Hajar-e-Aswad the ninth time and say:
"Bismillahi Allahu Akbar Wa Lillah Hil Hamad."
Start of Sa’ey at Safa
Now proceed towards the Safa and climb the hill. Face the Ka'bah and raise your hands and recite a prayer:
"O Allah! I perform Sa’ey between Safa and Marwah to please You. Make it easy for me and accept it from me."
Now recite:
"Inn-as-Safa wal-Marwah min Sha’a’irillah."
Head Towards Marwah
Come down from the Safa and move towards Marwah and praise Allah:
"Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu-lillahi wa la ilaha ill-Allah wa-Allahu Akbar wa la haula wa la quwwata illa-billa."
If you don’t remember this supplication also, recite:
Subhan Allah, Alhamdu Lillah, Allahu Akbar repeatedly and keep moving.
At Marwah
When atop the Marwah, encircle in rounds and in all rounds men will run between the green pillars and women will just walk.
End of Sa'ye
After Sa'ey, men should shave their heads or get their hair clipped. Women should have a lock of their hair and not shave.
