The Ultimate Guide to Performing Umrah in Ramadan with Alkhair

Ramadan is the most sacred month in the Islamic calendar, a time when Allah's mercy and blessings are abundantly bestowed upon believers. Performing Umrah in Ramadan holds immense spiritual significance, as it is considered equivalent to performing Hajj in terms of reward. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajj with me." (Sahih al-Bukhari). If you are planning to embark on this blessed journey, Alkhair offers a seamless and spiritually enriching experience tailored to meet your needs.

Why Perform Umrah in Ramadan?

Performing Umrah in Ramadan brings numerous benefits, both spiritual and personal. Here’s why it is a golden opportunity:

1. The Rewards Are Multiplied

• Acts of worship during Ramadan are rewarded many times over, making Umrah especially significant.

• It provides an opportunity to purify oneself and seek closeness to Allah.

2. Spiritual Transformation

• The journey strengthens faith and allows for deep reflection and self-improvement.

• The atmosphere of Makkah and Madinah during Ramadan is unparalleled, with millions engaged in prayer and supplication.

3. Forgiveness of Sins

• The Prophet (PBUH) emphasized that sins are forgiven for those who sincerely perform Umrah, particularly in the holy month.

• It serves as a path to spiritual renewal and a fresh start.

4. Chance to Witness Laylatul Qadr

• The last ten nights of Ramadan hold the Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr), which is better than a thousand months.

• Performing Umrah during these nights enhances the blessings and rewards manifold.

Step-by-Step Guide to Performing Umrah

Performing Umrah consists of four key rituals that every pilgrim must complete correctly. Below is a detailed guide:

1. Entering the State of Ihram

• Ihram is a state of purity that every pilgrim must enter before performing Umrah.

• Before crossing the Miqat (designated boundary), take a purification bath (Ghusl), trim nails, and wear the prescribed attire (two unstitched white garments for men, modest clothing for women).

• Make the intention (Niyyah) for Umrah and recite the Talbiyah: "Labbayka Allahumma Umrah" (Here I am, O Allah, for Umrah).

2. Performing Tawaf

• Upon arriving at Masjid al-Haram, proceed to the Kaaba and perform seven circuits around it in an anti-clockwise direction.

• Each round starts and ends at the Black Stone (Hajr-e-Aswad); if possible, kiss it or point towards it.

• Recite prayers and supplications during each circuit.

3. Performing Sa’i (Walking Between Safa and Marwah)

• After completing Tawaf, head towards the hills of Safa and Marwah.

• Walk seven times between the two points, reenacting the steps of Bibi Hajar searching for water for her son, Prophet Ismail (AS).

• Men are encouraged to lightly run between the green markers, while women continue at a normal pace.

4. Shaving or Trimming Hair (Tahalul)

• The final step is cutting or shaving hair as a sign of humility and submission to Allah.

• Men should shave or trim their hair completely, while women should cut a small portion (about an inch).

• With this, Umrah is complete, and pilgrims exit Ihram.

• Engage in Maximum Worship – Utilize your time in the holy cities by praying in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, reciting the Quran, and making continuous supplications.

• Avoid Overexertion – Perform Umrah at night if possible to avoid the extreme heat and ensure a more comfortable experience.
