Product Information

We work closely with all sectors of the Muslim community and have created specific leaflets and packages to suit the requirements of English, Arabic, Farsi, Kurdish and Somali Hujjaj amongst others. You will then get changed into your Ihram garments which for men consist of two, normally white, clean seamless pieces of cloth.

Your Sa’i is complete once you have performed a total of seven laps between the hills of Safa and Marwa. Many choose to enter into Ihram at Masjid Aisha, which is the nearest and most convenient location from Masjid al-Haram. These days, Hajj pilgrims travel to Makkah by land, air and sea during the days and weeks prior to the pilgrimage period. This Tawaf is Wajib (obligatory) according to Hanafis, Shafi’is and Hanbalis but Sunnah according to Malikis and must be performed prior to leaving the boundaries of the Haram. The 8 th day of Dhul Hijjah marks the beginning of the days of Hajj and the next stage of your spiritual journey.Note that menstruating women can’t do Tawaf or pray, but they can take part in other parts of the pilgrimage. For those of us who have not yet completed the pilgrimage of Hajj, this is also an ideal time to make Du’a that Allah (SWT) grants us the opportunity when He deems best. Lastly, you shave ( Halq) or shorten ( Taqsir) your hair, allowing you to leave the state of Ihram and complete your Umrah.

Jabal al-Rahmah is the hill from where the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered his sermon. With the completion of the Tawaf and Saa’i, you are then allowed to relax and do everything that was lawful before entering the Ihram, including engaging in marital relations. Upon seeing the Kaaba for the first time, raise your hands and make Dua with the utmost concentration and sincerity, as this is among those places where prayers are answered. Thank you for the time spent writing and publishing this useful information, I am planning for Umrah again next month iA.And when you are safe, then, whoever avails the advantage of the ‘Umrah along with the Hajj shall make an offering of whatever animal is available. At safa we make a Dua, then at Marwa we make the same Dua – do we repeat it 3x like we began at safa? If you forget to enter into Ihram at the Meeqat, you must either exit Makkah and re-enter it, or sacrifice a sheep as a penalty.

Imam Abu Hanifa I would use this opportunity to make Dua to Allah that he be among those whose supplications are always accepted. There is no authentic source to suggest any benefit in trekking the hill itself or to undertake this climb as a religious ritual.

Before drinking the Zamzam water, make an intention that its consumption will be a means of fulfilling your wishes, whether that is good health, success in this world, or protection from the tribulations of the grave. The intention must be to perform the Hajj for the sake of Allah alone, with a desire for good in the hereafter.

It’s an important time for spiritual reflection and devotion, so try and make the most of this special night. To summarise Part One of your Hajj - you begin Ihram at the Meeqat, you perform Tawaf, you pray two rakat, you drink Zamzam water, you perform Sa’ee and you end your Ihram. Easy Hajj is a well established company that has been running Hajj and Umrah packages for more than 16 years catering for the diverse needs of the Muslim population of the UK. They’re there for you to consume, so enjoy them to quench your thirst, but don’t forget the spiritual purpose of being there. However, it offers Muslims the opportunity to refresh our spiritual selves, to cleanse us of our sins and to draw closer to Allah (SWT).For the purpose of this Hajj guide, we will use the Tamattu form of Hajj, which is what the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged the Muslims to perform. one must read carefully and learn it and remember it and tell others so that every one may perform Umra rightly. Sa’i symbolises the ongoing struggle that we encounter throughout our lives, as Hajar experienced herself. As you reach the limits of the Haram, constantly recite the Talbiyah, do Dhikr and send Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ.
