IHRAM – Before reaching Meeqat
Before Ihram: Remove unwanted hair, trim nails, make ghusl (bath) & wudhu (ablution) or at least wudhu.
Put on clothes of Ihram – 2 white un-sewn pieces of cloth for men and regular clothes for women. Women should not cover their faces during Ihram & men should not cover their heads during Ihram. On entering state of Ihram Niyyah (Intention (in any language) to enter into Ihram) Recite Talbiyah (Umrah prayer supplication):
لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ
“Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayk la sharika laka Labbayk, Innal hamda wanni‘mata laka walmulk La sharika lak”
Here I am O Allah, (in response to Your call), here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Indeed all the Praise, Grace and Sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner.
Going to Masjid Al-Haram (Ka’bah), men to recite loudly (women quietly): Umrah (Tawaaful-Qudoom) Entering Masjid Al-Haram: Enter with the right foot and recite:
اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ
Allahumma aftah lee abwaaba rahmatika
Allah, open the doors of Your Mercy for me.
♦ Make intention for the Tawaf.

TAWAAF (Circling the Ka’bah 7 times)
♦ Before proceeding to the starting point of Tawaaf, Al-Hajarul-Aswad (The Black Stone)1, men only - uncover right shoulder by placing Ihram underneath right armpit (this is known as Idhtiba).
When beginning each circuit, make a sign with your right hand towards al-HajarulAswad (The Black Stone)2, and recite –
الله أكبر
Allahu Akbar
(Allah is the Greatest).
♦ Men should walk briskly (Raml) during the first 3 circuits only; the remaining 4 circuits are done at a normal pace completely around until 7th circuit. No particular supplication (Duaa) is essential during Tawaaf.
♦ Duaa (supplication) can be made during Tawaaf, except it is Sunnah to recite the following when going between Ar-RuknulYamani (Yemeni Corner)
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِيْ الدُنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَّفِيْ الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَّقِنَا عَذَابَ النَار
Rabbanaa aatinaa fid-dunyaa hasanatan wa feel aakhirati hasanatan wa qinaa 'adhaaban naar
Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!
♦ Once Tawaaf is complete, cover your right shoulder and offer 2 rakaats anywhere behind the Station of Ibrahim – or anywhere in the Haram: Recite Surat al-Kafirun in 1st raka’a and Surat al-Ikhlas in the 2nd raka’a.
♦ Drink Zam-Zam water – Make Du’aa

SA’EE (Completion of 7 rounds Safa & Marwah)
Begin Sa’ee at as-Safa. Complete walk from as-Safa to al-Marwah (one circuit), then alMarwah to as-Safa (second circuit), and continue for seven circuits, finishing at alMarwah. Upon encountering green lights, men only run from one light to another light.
At the foot of as-Safa recite
إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلۡمَرۡوَةَ مِن شَعَآئِرِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَنۡ حَجَّ ٱلۡبَيۡتَ أَوِ ٱعۡتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيۡرٗا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
Innas-safaa wal marwata min sha'aa'irillaahi faman hajjal baita 'awi`tamara falaa junaaha 'alaihi an yattawwafa bihimaa wa man tatawwa'a khiran fa'innAllaha shaakirun 'aleemun
Verily! As-Safa and al-Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or 'Umrah of the House to perform the Tawaf between them. And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allah is All-Recognizer, All-Knower.
Each time you complete one round (Safa and Marwah) recite
اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar AllahuAkbar - laa illaaha illallahu wahdau laa
shareekalah - lahul mulku wa lahulhamdu - yuhyee wa yumeetu wa huwa 'alaa kulli shai'in qadeer - laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareekalah - anjaza wa'dahu wa nasara ' abdahu wa hazamal ahzaaba wahdahu
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is none truly worthy of worship except Allah alone, without partner. To Him belongs all Sovereignty and all Praise. He alone gives life and causes death, He is Omnipotent over all things. There is none truly worthy of worship except Allah alone, without partner. He has fulfilled His promise, and helped His slave, and He alone has defeated the confederates.
4. Shaving Head/Trimming
After completing Sa’ee: Men: shaving entire head is preferable or cut hair equally from all over head; Women: cut one-third finger-length of hair. Upon leaving al Masjid ulHaraam with the left foot, recite
اَللَّهُـمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْـلِكَ
Allahumma innee 'as'aluka min
fadhlika
Allah, verily I ask You from Your Favor.
