Know more of the ‘Pillars of Umrah’

All Muslims are required to complete the Umrah (sometimes spelled ‘Umra’), a compulsory act of worship, at least once in their lives. If an Umrah Tour is completed in a specific order, it is regarded as genuine. To further comprehend the fundamental components or pillars of Umrah, let's talk about them in greater depth:

  • Ihram

A Muslim must enter into Ihram, which is regarded as a holy state, in order to complete the Hajj or Umrah. Men must dress in clothing that is specifically made for completing Umrah before entering Ihram. Men must wear two white sheets of clothing, while ladies may wear whatever modest and less exposing.

  • Tawaf

Tawaf denotes seven counterclockwise rounds around the sacred Kaaba. It is one of the main rituals that pilgrims engage in during both the Umrah and the Hajj. The term "tawaf" literally means, "to walk around”. It also refers to the seven circuits, which begin and conclude at Hajar-al-Aswad, which is also known as "the Black Stone". Muslims see the Holy Kaaba as a Holy and important location, which is why pilgrims encircle it.

  • Sa’i

Walking seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah is known as Sa'i. The pilgrims must ask Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and blessings while doing Sa'i (SWT). Sa'i stands for the continual challenges we encounter in daily life and as a result, pilgrims look to Allah (SWT) for the bravery and inspiration they need to tackle these challenges.

  • Tahallul

After completing Umrah, males are required to shave their heads, while women are required to trim a tiny amount of their hair. The Arabic term 'tahallul' means "discontinuation of the ceremonial status of Hajj/ Umrah". The pilgrims will be released from all Umrah prohibitions after shaving and their Umrah will be recognized.
