Expression of Gratitude

m a r a H l u d i j s a M f o e n e c S A

Many many thanks to Almighty Allah, Who is Lord of the Worlds. It is Almighty Allah's kindness and benevolence that HE has given me an opportunity to perform UMRAH and HAJJ. Based on this experience Almighty Allah has bestowed me with the ability to write and publish this booklet in URDU for the guidance of the prospective HAJIS. I pray to Almighty Allah, to accept this insignificant effort and make this a tool for the gratification of my parents and myself - Aameen. It is requested that HAJIS before reading this booklet, should read books which cover all topics of the pilgrimage exhaustively. Request for Dua 1st Edition: 2000 M.A.Shakoor After the First Publication in the year 2000, father had already worked on the revision of the booklet in Urdu. At the same time near complete translation of the booklet in English was done. Unfortunately, before the booklet in Urdu/English could be published he passed away on 25-01-2007. Now the second edition of the booklet in Urdu/English is published. 2nd Edition: Urdu/English 2009

Technically it means to do Tawaf of Holy Kaaba and Saiee between Hillocks of Safa and Marwah. Conventionally it is also known as Hajjul Asghar (Lesser Pilgrimage). 2) STATUS OF UMRAH UNDER SHARIAH In One's lifetime it is Farz for any Individual like HAJJ. More than one time it is Nafil as per Imam Shafaiee ”, Imam Ahmad-ibn-Hambal ”, Dawood Zaahiri ”, Ishaq ”, Sufyan Soury etc. It is Sunna as per Imam Abu Hanifah ” and Abu Saur ”. 3) TIME FOR UMRAH For UMRAH there is no Specific time. This can be done any time during the year except during the time of HAJJ. As per Imam Abu Yosuf ” th e exception is for 9th of Dhul Hijja(Arafa). The

exception is on the day of Qurbani (sacrifice) in HAJJ and days of Tashreeq (9/10/11/12/13 of Dhul Hijja) as per the fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifah ”. 4) RULES OF UMRAH There are Two FARZ in Umrah a) Ihraam b) Tawaf There are Two WAJIBAT a) Saiee between SAFA and MARWAH b) Doing Halaq (Shaving of Head) In IHRAAM there are two FARZ a) Niyyat (Intention) b) Talbiyah There is one FARZ in Tawaf and it is Niyyat (Intention). In Saiee the first four Circuits (Shawts) are FARZ. 5) PREPARATION FOR UMRAH After completing bath/Wudu (ablutions) then Pilgrim will wear the Ihraam. Hair oil can be applied to head. For the Ihraam, Two clean seamless white linen, woolen or towel sheets (preferably new ones) is required. Each sheet of Ihraam is to measure 2 yards x 1.25 yards. One of the white sheet should be wrapped around waist in such a way that it starts from left and moves on to the right side in anti clockwise direction and then end on the left side of the waist (similar to wearing Lungi). Drape the other white sheet over left shoulder, back and right

shoulder. The right edge of the sheet should fall and rest on the left shoulder. The lower sheet of the Ihraam should be above the ankles. After this, cover the head with the upper sheet of the Ihraam Ihraam and offer two Rakat Nafil prayers and in the first Rakat û ³ ³ ³ ³ ö Îö after Sura Al Fateha recite "Sura Al Kafeeroon" Ø áø æû †ö Ëô FÓ ûÖ] ³ ^ ãø ã ³ ø ³ ³ m % ø]« ³ mø and in the second Rakat after Sura Al û ö Îö .

"O Allah! I intend to perform UMRAH, make it easy for me and accept it from me". Male pilgrims to recite Talbiyah 3 times loudly and female pilgrims to recite Talbiyah 3 times in a low voice. Once the Pilgrim wears the Ihraam, the regulations of Ihraam come immediately immediately into force. 6) Rule of Talbiyah Reciting of Talbiyah is Farz only one time at the time of Niyyat (Intention) under the fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifah ”. Pilgrim must recite Talbiyah countless time throughout the pilgrimage journey. Talbiyah should be immediately stopped at the beginning of Tawaf. 7

"Here I am ! O Allah ! Here I am ! Here I am ! there is no one who is Your Partner, Here I am ! surely, all praise and blessings are Yours, and Dominion. You are without Companion". 8) Way to Journey Pilgrims proceeding by Air for Hajj / Umrah from Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, etc will wear Ihraam from their places of residential cities. These cities will become similar to Meeqat. 9) MEEQAT There are two types of Meeqat. a) Meeqat Makani b) Meeqat Zamani. Meeqat Makani means the place where after reaching, the pilgrims will wear Ihraam for Hajj or Umrah or for both. Meeqat Zamani (Period) means, it is that period in which Hajj is necessary. Or in other words wearing Ihraam for Hajj is Mustahab in the 8

months of Hajj and it is makruh to wear Ihraam for Hajj in other months. It is the saying of Allah lº ^ ³ ³ Úø ç ³ û ö× ³ Ã ³ û Úø †º ³ ³ ãö ãö û ø] s ³ vø ³ ³ ûÖ ø ]ø "Period of Hajj is known % ³ months" i.e months of Shawwal, Zeeqadah and till 10th of Dhul Hijja. Natives of INDIA have the Meeqat boundary at YALAMLAM on the way to Jeddah which is 75 miles before Jeddah. Pilgrims travelling by AIR will have difficulty in wearing Ihraam exactly at YALAMLAM inside the aircraft which is practically not possible. 10) START OF JOURNEY From the residential place of city, city, Pilgrims will be travelling by Aeroplanes to Jeddah or Madinah. On reaching the Airports of Jeddah or Madinah, they will have to meet the Muallim whose name is endorsed in the Passport and complete the formalities with him. After reaching Jeddah the Pilgrims will proceed to Holy Makkah by Taxi and reach their place of stay. For Hajj, the pilgrims will stay in the designated building rented by Muallim. One wrist belt will be given to each pilgrim by the Muallim for the Hajj pilgrims. It has to be worn till the journey for home country is undertaken.

11) ENTERIING IN THE MASJID UL HARAM In normal times after reaching Makkah Mouzzama, room is taken on hire by the Pilgrim of UMRAH and the luggage is kept safely in the room. After this Pilgrim will enter MASJID UL HARAM (Baithullah) from BAB US SALAM or any other doors. It is Masnoon to put the right foot first in Haram and say:

ø jôÛ u Ô ø û …ø hø ]çø e øû] oû Öô xû j ø û Êû ] Ü $ ãö ãö #× Ö ø] "O Allah I seek forgiveness for all sins and request You to expand the doors of Mercy on me". 12) SUPPLICATIONS AFTER SEEING HOLY KAABA

The moment after entering Masjid Ul Haram, Pilgrims while going near to KAABA stop on the way for a while as they see Holy KAABA and offer three times the TAKBIR. During the recitation of TAKBIR keep the sight fixed on Holy KAABA.

†ö fø ûÒ ø] ö²]æø ö²] Ÿ$ ]ô ä ³ F øÖ]ô Ÿ ø †ö fø ûÒ ø] ö²] †ö fø ûÒ ø] ö²] †ö fø ûÒ ø] ö²] "Allah is Great ! Allah is Great ! Allah is Great None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and He is Great".

Keep your sight fixed on Holy Kaaba and do this supplication that O ALLAH! accept this supplication that hereafter, whatever justified supplication I do is accepted i.e. to make me Mustajabud Daawaat. 13) ISTELAM OF HAJRE ASWAD

"O ALLAH! I desire to perform Tawaf of Your Sacred House. So make make it easy for me me and accept it from me". Now move, slightly towards the right side and be opposite to HAJRE ASWAD (coming in straight line of Hajre Aswad), raise your hands like in Namaz as far as your ears and palms facing Hajre Aswad read Takbir and Hamd.

(Touching or Kissing) Now the pligrim should move towards HAJRE ASWAD and if no place is available near it, Pilgrim should stand in the direction of HAJRE ASWAD, so that the left of HAJRE ASWAD is onto the right side of the right shoulder of Pilgrim. Now the pilgrim should do IDTIBA (The one end of upper cloth sheet of Ihraam should be taken from underneath the right armpit and put on to the top of the left shoulder). This way right hand and right shoulder is not covered and they are free from the cloth. 14) TAWAF Before starting of Tawaf, recitation of Talbiyah shall be stopped. Niyyat (Intention) of Tawaf is now done ( It is Farz).

After this drop down the hands and come to Hajre Aswad and kiss it in a humble manner. If due to rush, kissing of Hajre Aswad is not possible then touch it and kiss the palms. If due to rush going near Hajre Aswad is not possible then from a distance only do ISTELAM (Make indication of touching Hajre Aswad by your hands and then kiss the palms). If in the hand there is a stick, then touch Hajre Aswad with the stick and kiss the stick which is Mustahab. While doing ISTELAM or kissing ö fø ûÒ ø] ö² ø] ô²] ôÜ ³ Šû ôe Hajre Aswad pilgrim should say ‚ö Û v û ø ³ ûÖ] äô #× Öôæø † ³ and it is Masnun. While passing from Hajre Aswad keep your face straight and walk in such a way that 12

Holy Kaaba will be on the left side. While doing Tawaf do not turn your face towards Holy kaaba, otherwise that circuit will not be counted. Now start the Tawaf from the right side of Hajre Aswad i.e passing through Multazim, door of Baithullah, Hateem and Rukn-e-Yamani and then complete the circuit at Hajre Aswad. In the first three Circuits male Pilgrims will do RAMAL. (It is to walk hurriedly with forceful and narrow paces from Hajre Aswad to Hajre Aswad). While doing Tawaf in every circuit at Rukn-e-Yamani (the last corner of Holy Kaaba before you reach Hajre Aswad) touch and feel and then proceed ahead. Due to heavy rush if it is not possible then Pilgrim should do ISTELAM. Here also the chest should not face the Holy Kaaba. Between Rukn-e-Yamani and Hajre Aswad recite this supplication.
