performing umrah is a journey of worship, reflection, and renewal. below is a bit more detailed guide to each step, including recommended supplications to make your experience meaningful: miqat: before crossing the miqat boundary, enter into the state of ihram. men wear two white cloths, and women wear modest attire. pray 2 raka’ahs and make your intention (niyyah) for umrah. Begin reciting the talbiyah: “Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayka La Shareeka Laka Labbayk. Innal Hamda Wan-Ni’mata Laka Wal Mulk, La Shareeka Lak.” (Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily, all praise, blessings, and sovereignty are Yours. You have no partner.) tawaf: upon entering the haram, start your tawaf around the kaaba. begin by face the black stone (hajr aswad), raise your right hand, and say:“Bismillah, Allahu Akbar” (In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest). walk counterclockwise 7 times, keeping the kaaba to your left. Make duas from your heart or recite: “Rabbana Atina Fid-Dunya Hasanatan, Wa Fil-Aakhirati Hasanatan, Wa Qina Adhab An-Nar.” (Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.) after tawaf, pray 2 raka’ahs at maqam ibrahim. In the first rak’ah, recite Surah Al-Kafirun, and in the second, Surah Al-Ikhlas. zam zam: Then proceed to drink Zam Zam water and make a heartfelt dua. sa’i: walk between safa and marwah 7 times, commemorating Hajar’s faith and perseverance. at safa and marwah: stop to make dua while facing the kaaba. Recite: “Inna As-Safa Wal-Marwah Min Sha’aairillah” (Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah.) As you walk, make duas and dhiker. tahallul: after completing sa’i, end your umrah by shaving your head (for men) or trimming a small portion of your hair (for women). This symbolizes humility and renewal. may allah accept your umrah and make it a source of blessings and forgiveness.
