Here's an article from our travel agency about the steps of Umrah and the best and umrah packages 2023. Umrah is a religious journey for Muslims that is really an act of Allah's love (SWT). It is based on the teachings and actions of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). The pilgrimage is a trip to the House of Allah (SWT), which can be made at any time of the year. It is a "minor pilgrimage" compared to Hajj, which is a "larger pilgrimage."

The four most important parts of the Umrah are:

1. Ihram

Ihram is the official way to say that you want to do the Umrah. To get into the fold of Ihram, a person must take off all of his or her clothes and take a good bath (ghusl), which is a sign of washing away all of his or her sins. After getting clean, the person should say two Rakat of Sunnah prayers or the prayers that are required. The person should then turn toward the Qibla and enter Ihram. While a person is in ihram, they can't wear perfume or use anything that smells good.

At the Miqat, the pilgrim must make the intention and say the following words:

Here I am for Umrah, O Allah.)

Next, he or she should say the Talbiyah, as the Sunnah says: "I am here, O Allah. I am here." I'm here, and you don't have anyone else. All praise, all good things, and all power belong to You alone. You have no partners.

It is suggested that the person say the Talbiyah from the time he or she puts on Ihram until the time the Tawaf is done.

2. Tawaf (walking around the House of Allah (SWT))

The pilgrim must then enter Masjid al-Haram with his or her right foot and say: "In the name of Allah, and peace and blessings be upon Allah's Messenger." Allah, please forgive me for what I've done wrong and let me in the gates of your forgiveness. I hide from the cursed Devil in Allah, the All-Powerful, and in His beautiful face and eternal strength.

After touching the Black Stone, the pilgrim can start the Tawaf (Hajar-e-Aswad). Before kissing it, the pilgrim should touch it with his right hand. The pilgrim must go to Ibrahim's station after he or she has done the seven rounds of Tawaf (Maqam-e-Ibrahim). The pilgrim should then say two Rakat prayers behind Maqam-e-Ibrahim. If this isn't possible, the pilgrim can pray in any other part of the mosque. Surah Al-Kafirun is read during the first rakah, and Surah Al-Ikhlaas is read during the second rakah. After the prayer, the person should go back to the Black Stone and try to touch it if they can.

3. Sai

The pilgrim should then go to the town of Sai (Masaa) and say the following when he gets close to the hill of Safa:

We start with the beginning that Allah made.

The pilgrim must then go up the Safa hill to a place where he or she can see the Kaaba. He or she should stand in front of the Kaaba, raise his or her hand, and pray to Allah (SWT). The pilgrim can make any kind of dua he or she wants. Next, the pilgrim should go down to Marwa. The men should run between the green lights.

4. Cutting or shaving the hair on the head

After going around the seven circles, the pilgrim must cut his or her hair. Men must either shave their heads or get their hair cut so that it is even all over their heads. The length of a woman's hair must be about the length of a fingertip.

You have to read these steps in your mind before you book the umrah packages all inclusive. With this last act, the pilgrim's Umrah is officially done.
