Understand Umrah first
This short gate is for first-timers and reverts. The live guide stays simple later, but first we make sure the basics are clear.
What is Umrah?
Umrah is a pilgrimage to Makkah done as worship for Allah. It is shorter than Hajj and can usually be performed outside the Hajj days.
Why does Umrah matter?
It is a chance to turn back to Allah, make du’a, seek forgiveness, show humility, and worship in the place Muslims face in prayer.
Do Muslims worship the Kaaba?
No. Muslims worship Allah alone. The Kaaba is the sacred direction and centre of the rites, not an object of worship.
The four main Umrah actions
Enter Ihram before Miqat, perform Tawaf, perform Sa’i, then shave or trim the hair to exit Ihram.
Required, Sunnah and optional
Some actions are completion-critical. Some are Sunnah or recommended. Many du’as are optional and can be made in your own language.
Mistakes and safety
Do not push or harm people for optional acts. If something goes wrong, use Help and ask a trusted scholar/guide for serious cases.
