Discovering the Essence of Umrah:
Umrah, a sacred pilgrimage, is a profound act of devotion, a journey undertaken to worship Allah. It involves entering the state of Ihram, circumambulating the House, running between Safa and Marwa, and concluding with the symbolic act of shaving or trimming the head.

Embarking on the State of Ihram:
Initiating the sacred Umrah journey involves entering the state of Ihram at the designated location as specified by Sharia. Pilgrims commit to abstaining from Ihram prohibitions and recite the Talbiyah, a sacred invocation expressing devotion and humility.

Circumambulation (Tawaf):
The circumambulation begins as pilgrims head to the Haram, circling counterclockwise with the Kaaba to their left. Starting and concluding at the revered Black Stone, the seven rounds are a spiritual journey. Following completion, two Rakaah prayers are offered in a suitable location.

Sa'i (between Safa and Marwa):
Embarking on Sa'i, pilgrims move from Safa to Marwa, completing one round. Returning to Safa marks the second round, and so on until the seventh round concludes at Marwa.

Shaving or Trimming of Head:
Post-Sa'i, men proceed to barber shops for head shaving or trimming, symbolizing humility and detachment. Women gather their hair, cutting approximately 1-2 cm from the ends. This act signifies the completion of Umrah and the end of Ihram.

Conduct Guidelines for Umrah:
Umrah pilgrims are urged to maintain respectful conduct within the Haram. Avoiding behaviors such as jostling, entering crowded spaces, and changing the direction of circumambulation is essential. Pilgrims must diligently adhere to the guidance provided by observers and security personnel.
