Steps in Omrah in short
Steps in Omrah
Ihram
a. Physical Purity, b. Ihram Garments, c. Salah al-Ihram
It’s sunnah to perform two rak’ahs of salah before entering into the state of Ihram. It is recommended to recite Surah al-Kafirun (Surah 109) in the first rak’ah and Surah al-Ikhlas (Surah 112) in the second, although other surahs may be read. Don’t forget to make du’a after this salah.
Niyyah
Allahumma inni uridu l-ʿUmrata fa yassirha li wa taqabbalha minni.
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ فَيَسِّرْهَا لِي وَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي ) O Allah, I intend to perform Umrah, so make it easy for me and accept it from me.
Talbiyah
لَبَّيْكَ اَللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ – لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ – إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ – لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ – ❁
Labbayka Llahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharika laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n-niʿmata, laka wa l-mulk, la sharika lak. (3)
(At Your service, Allah, at Your service. At Your service, you have no partner, at Your service. Truly all praise, favour and sovereignty are Yours. You have no partner.)
It is recommended to send Salawat on the Prophet ﷺ after reciting the Talbiyah and to make du’a for yourself and others. Continue reciting the Talbiyah for the rest of your journey until you reach one of the doors of Masjid al-Haram prior to performing Tawaf.
Entering Makkah
اَللَّهُمَّ هَذَا حَرَمُكَ وَأَمْنُكَ فَحَرِّمْنِي عَلَى النَّارِ ❁ وَأَمِنِّي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ ❁ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَأَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ ❁
Allahumma hadha ḥaramuka wa amnuka fa ḥarrimni ʿala n-nar, wa aminni min ʿadhabika yawma tabʿathu ʿibadak, wa jʿalni min awliya’ika wa ahli ṭaʿatik.
O Allah, this is Your sanctuary and security, so make me unlawful to the hellfire, make me safe from Your punishment on the day You resurrect Your servants, and make me one of Your friends and one of the people who obey You.
Entering Masjid al-Haram
بِسْمِ اللهِ ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ❁ اللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ ❁
Bismi Llah. Allahumma ṣalli ʿala Muḥammad. Allahumma-ghfir li wa-ftaḥ li abwaba raḥmatik.
(In the name of Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad ﷺ. O Allah, forgive me and open for me the doors of Your Mercy.)
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ الْعَظِيمِ ❁ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ ❁ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ ❁ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ ❁
Aʿudhu bi-Llahi l-aẓim, wa bi-wajhihi l-karim, wa sulṭanihi l-qadim, mina sh-shayṭani r-rajim.
I seek protection in Allah the Tremendous, His Noble Countenance, and His pre-eternal Sovereign Might from Shaytan the rejected.
First Sight of the Kaaba
Upon seeing the Kaaba for the first time, raise your hands and make du’a with the utmost concentration and sincerity, as this is among those places where prayers are answered. Remember to recite Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ when making du’a.
Recite the following three times:
اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ ❁ اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ ❁ لَآ اِلَهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ ❁ Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. La ilaha illa Llah. (Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. There is no God except Allah.)
It’s a sunnah to recite the following du’as:
اَللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْرِيفاً وَتَعْظِيماً وَتَكْرِيماً وَمَهَابَةً ❁ وَزِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ وَكَرَّمَهُ مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ أَوْ اعْتَمَرَهُ تَشْرِيفاً وَتَكْرِيماً وَتَعْظِيماً وَبِرّاً ❁
Allahumma zid hadha l-bayta tashrifan wa taʿẓiman wa takriman wa mahabah, wa zid man sharrafahu wa karramahu mimman ḥajjahu aw iʿtamarahu tashrifan wa takriman wa taʿẓiman wa birra.
Allah, increase this House in honour, esteem, respect and reverence. And increase those who honour and respect it—of those who perform Hajj or Umrah—in honour, respect, esteem and piety.
اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ ❁ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ ❁ حَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا بِالسَّلاَمِ ❁
Allahumma anta s-salam, wa minka s-salam, ḥayyina rabbana bi s-salam.
O Allah, you are Peace and from You is peace. Make us live, Lord, in peace.
Tawaf al-Umrah
Intention/ Niyyah
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ طَوَافَ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فَيَسِّرْهُ لِي وَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنِّي
(O Allah, I intend to perform Tawaf of your Sacred House, so make it easy for me and accept it from me.)
(Allahumma inni uridu l-ṭawwafa baytika l-ḥarami fa yassirhu li wa taqabbalhu minni.)
Starting Tawaf each time:
Ensure your palms are also facing it, as though your face and hands are on the Hajar al-Aswad, and say “Bismi Llahi wa Llahu akbar (بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ).” You may kiss your palms if you wish.
The following supplication, a du’a of Ali I, may be recited when coming parallel to the Hajar al-Aswad in each circuit:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ إِيمَاناً بِكَ وَتَصْدِيقاً بِكِتَابِكَ ❁ وَوَفَاءً بِعَهْدِكَ ❁ وَاتِّبَاعاً لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدْ ❁
Bismi Llahi wa Llahu akbar. Allahumma imanan bika wa taṣdiqan bi kitabik, wa wafaʿan bi ʿahdik, wattibaʿan li sunnati nabiyyika Muḥammad ﷺ.
(In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, out of faith in You, conviction in Your book, in fulfilment of Your covenant and in emulation of Your Prophet’s sunnah ﷺ.)
Dhikr & Du’a : (No specific dua)
Rukn al-Yamani:
(رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ❁)
Rabbana atina fi d-dunya ḥasanatan wa fi l-akhirati ḥasanatan wa qina ʿadhaba n-nar.
O our Lord, grant us the good of this world, the good of the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the fire.
[Surah al-Baqarah, 2:201]
(Total seven round)
Salah
Upon finishing the Tawaf, perform two rak’ahs of salah, preferably in a position where Maqam Ibrahim is between you and the Kaaba.
Zamzam
(اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا ❁ وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا ❁ وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا ❁ وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ ❁)
Allahumma inni as’aluka ʿilman nafiʿa, wa rizqan wasiʿa, wa ʿamalan mutaqabbala, wa shifa’an min kulli da’.
O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that is beneficial, provision that is abundant, accepted deeds, and a cure for every illness.
Sa’i
Intention/ Niyahh
Make Du’a at Safa: Inna ṣ-Ṣafa wa l-Marwata min shaʿa’iri Llah.
(Indeed, Safa and Marwa are from the Signs of Allah. [Surah al-Baqarah, 2:158])
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, wa li Llahi l-ḥamd.
(Allah is the Greatest; Allah is the Greatest; Allah is the Greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise.)
La ilaha illa Llahu waḥdahu la sharika lah, lahu l-mulku wa lahu l-ḥamd, yuḥiu wa yumit, wa huwa ʿala kulli shay’in qadir.
(لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يحي و يميت وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ )
(There is no deity except Allah, alone without a partner. To Him belongs the Dominion, and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and death, and He has power over everything.)
La ilaha illa Llahu waḥdah, anjaza waʿdahu wa naṣara ʿabdahu wa hazama l-aḥzaba waḥdah.
(لَآ إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ ❁ اَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ اَلْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ ) - (There is no deity except Allah alone. He fulfilled His promise, supported His slave and defeated the Confederates alone.)
Dhikr & Du’a
No fixed dhikr or du’a has been prescribed to be read during Sa’i, so you may recite any prayers or supplications of your choice and send Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ.
Make Du’a at Marwa
Upon reaching the hill of Marwa, face the direction of the Kaaba, raise your hands in supplication and repeat the same supplications you recited at Safa.
This completes one lap of Sa’i. Returning back to Safa is considered a second lap.
End of Sa’i
Repeat this procedure until you have completed seven laps, at which point you should be at the hill of Marwa.
Dua and Salah
It is recommended that you make a final du’a here and perform two rak’ahs of nafl salah in Masjid al-Haram following Sa’i.
Leave the Haram
Bismi Llahi wa ṣ-ṣalatu wa s-salamu ʿala rasuli Llah. Allahumma inni as’aluka min faḍlik.
(بِسْمِ اللهِ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَّامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ❁ اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ ❁) (In the name of Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, I ask of you from Your bounty.)
