Umrah Guide: Umrah Requirements in 2023

Muslims worldwide embark on the lesser journey of Umrah to cleanse their bodies, minds, and spirits. Unlike the Hajj, Umrah is a fundamental part of Islam and is often called the "little journey" by Muslims. Although it is not mandatory, Muslims strongly recommend making an Umrah outing at least once in their lifetime.

Planning for an Umrah pilgrimage requires planning and organizing, and this Umrah guide is here to help you do just that.

Below are the top points to know about Umrah in 2023:

1. Before embarking on their trip, pioneers must have a valid visa that has been in Saudi Arabia for around a half year.

2. While age is not a factor in leading Umrah, it is generally recommended that individuals have the physical and mental capacity to perform the expected rituals. Young people may do the Umrah with family members or legitimate guardians, but they must be able to handle the actual demands of the journey and ceremonies, which involve long trips and long distances. Before embarking on the journey, older individuals or those with health concerns should consult their primary care physician.

3. Getting an Umrah visa is necessary and can only be obtained through a supported travel service.

4. The travelers are required to have a one-way ticket that has a pre-arranged departure date from Saudi Arabia.

5. In addition, travelers will be required to get immunizations against various deadly illnesses, like chicken pox, and will also need an immunization endorsement because of the current Coronavirus situation.

6. For the duration of their stay, pioneers should have a confirmed reservation to stay in Makkah or Madinah.

Umrah steps

Umrah journey customs include performing Ghusl and putting on Ihram clothes to enter the state of cleanliness and dedication during the main stage, Ihram. Then, at the end of Tawaf, the pioneers make seven rounds around the Kaaba, talking about their prayers as they walk between the slope of Safa and the slope of Marwa on the 3rd step, Sai. Finally, the explorers officially end their journey by shaving their heads. Explorers who perform the Umrah are rewarded greatly in this life and in the next. Muslims should follow these four methods to complete the Umrah journey.

Hope the umrah guide and points mentioned above were helpful in establishing the basic understanding of the holy pilgrimage and how to perform it correctly.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

The smallest act of Sadaqah is enough to save you from the Hellfire if Allah ﷻ so wishes.

Please share around and help Jazakallahu Khayran

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Guard yourself from the Hellfire, even with half of a date in Sadaqah. If he cannot find it, then with a kind word.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

The Prophet (ﷺ)said: “Charity extinguishes the sins like water extinguishes a fire.” (Ibn Majah)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.” (Tirmidhi)

A Plan for the First 10 Days of Dhul-Hijah

The Best Days of the World

1. Intention

Make the intention for your deeds to be sincerely for Allah ﷻ during these days, and have the conscious intention to expose yourself to the blessings of Allah ﷻ.

Whoever is sincere towards Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will be sincere towards him (meaning He ﷻ will fulfill his wishes).

2. Repentance

Make a table of all the sins that you want to pledge to Allah ﷻ that you will stop doing them.

The Conditions of Repentance:

1. Abandoning the sin completely.

2. Feeling remorse for what has already happened (of sins).

3. Having the firm intention never to return to the sin ever again.

3. Praying

The Five Daily Prayers (in their Fixed Times)

Leave everything behind you as soon as you hear the azaan and get up and pray.

"The best of deeds is prayer during its earliest time."

Remember, you will be doing what our Lord ﷻ loves the most.

4. As-Sunan Ar-Rawaatib

12 Raka'ahs everyday.

(2 before Fajr -4 before Zuhr and 2 after it - 2 after Maghrib-2 after Isha)

"Whoever prays in a day and night 12 raka'ahs voluntarily, Allah ﷻ will build a house for him in Paradise."

Imagine🤍🙏🏻

5. Night Prayer

Any even number of rakaahs, and end them with one rakaah of Witr and make du'a for everything you want.

"And pray during the night when the people are asleep, and you will enter Jannah in peace."

What more could you want?!

6. Duha Prayer

Two to eight raka'ahs, any time between 15 minutes after sunrise till 15 minutes before Zuhr.

It is a daily charity for every joint in your body.

(Also known as Chaast or Awwabeen Prayer.)

7. Fasting

Have the intention to fast the first 9 days of Dhul-Hijjah, as the Messenger ﷺ of Allah ﷻ used to do, especially the Day of 'Arafah.

"Fasting the Day of 'Arafah, l anticipate that Allah ﷻ will expiate (through it the sins of) the year before it and the year after it."

8. Quran

Our goal is to finish reciting the whole Qur'an at least once (during these 10 days):

Day 1 - From Surat Al-Fatihah till the end of Surat Ale 'Imraan.

Day 2 - From Surat An-Nisa till the end of Surat Al-An'aam.

Day 3 - From Surat Al-A'raaf till the end of Surat At-Tawbah.

Day 4 - From Surat Yunus till the end of Surat Ar-Ra'd.

Day 5 - From Surat Ibraheer til the end of Surat Al-Kahf.

Day 6 - From Surat Marlam till the end of Surat Al-Mu'minoon.

Day 7 - From Surat Ash-Shu'araah till the end of Surat Al-Ahzaab.

Day 8 - From Surat Saba till the end of Surat Fussilat.

Day 9 - From Surat Ash-Shura till the end of Surat Al-Hadeed.

Day 10 - From Surat Al-Mujadilah til the end of Surat An-Naas,

9. Zikr

(Remembrance of Allah ﷻ)

Let your tongue be busy with:

100 times at the very least

 ‏سبحان الله

‏الحمد لله

 ‏لا اله الا الله

‏الله اكبر

 ‏لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله

‏الصلاة على الرسول ﷺ

‏استغفر الله العظيم وأتوب إليه

وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ‏

“and mention the name of Allah ﷻ on known days” (al-baqara: 203)

10. Azkaar

(Let these Azkaar also be a part of your day)

1. The azkaar of the morning and the evening.

2. The azkaar after every prayer.

3. Repeating the azaan and the du'a after it.

4. The azkaar before sleeping.

Write down some examples of these azkaar on paper and stick/hang them up where you usually walk.

(meaning where you'd see them a lot, just to be reminded of them as much as possible).

11. Du'a (Supplication)

Write down every single thing you've ever wanted and keep supplicating to Allah ﷻ again and again for it everyday (especially in Sujood, between the azaan and the iqamah, and during the last one-third of the night).

And persist in making even more du'a on the Day of 'Arafah.

And watch all your wishes come true after a while in sha Allah ﷻ.

12. Supplicating for Others

Assign a portion of your du' a for at least a hundred people. Choose ten people everyday from your family, spouse, friends, teachers, and anyone who has ever benefited you in any way, and make alot of dua for them, from your heart.

And make du'a for all the Muslims:

"May Allah ﷻ forgive me and my parents and the believing men and the believing women and the muslim men and the muslim women, alive and deceased"

13. Charity

Do not let a single day go by without giving out some charity, even if it is just a small amount.

Think of ten needy people that you want to help, or put a little money in a cash box everyday and take out and give away the whole amount on the last day.

14. Maintain the Ties of Kinship

Give a call or leave a message everyday to one of your extended family members.

The message can be as follows:

"How are you t/n? l hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that l am remembering you a lot in my du'as today.”

15. Reviving a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

Aim to do a Sunnah act everyday, with the intention of reviving the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

For example:

- Saying Bismillah (before starting anything).

-Sitting down while drinking.

Starting with the right hand or right side (when doing certain things).

- Reciting the opening supplication (in the prayer before reciting Surat Al-Fatihah).

- Performing Wudu before going to sleep.

- Reciting the prescribed dua after making Wudu.

16. Prohibitions

Beware of wasting the best days of the world and the greatest days of worship in:

Watching TV

Social Media

Backbiting

useless talk

Sleeping too much

Perhaps you may never get these days again.

may Allah ﷻ accept from us all, ameen 🤍

[shehzadi]

i get the thinking behind ‘boycotting hajj’ considering saudi’s support for israel, but you can’t make deen secondary like that 😭 if you have the opportunity to go and perform hajj, it’s literally because allah SWT has invited you. you don’t turn that away. go to makkah and make dua for palestine - what better place to do it than in the house of allah? make dua for the arab leaders to either grow a backbone or be replaced by somebody better while you’re at it so this doesn’t even have to be a dispute.
