Whether you are holding the hand of your child in Sa’i, you are helping an elderly parent over the Multazam, or standing alone in silent admiration before the House of Allah, you know that your voice is heard. These are the essential moments where your prayer matters as the one who called you to His land is anxious to hear your concerns and heartfelt prayers.
The importance of Intentional Dua in Umrah
The practice of Umrah is not spiritually transformative until it gets combined with sincere and heartfelt supplication. As it is not just a physical performance but needs to be involved with intentional prayers that helps you connect deeply with the sacred heritage of Islam. The Prophet PBUH confirmed: The supplication of a person in ihram is not rejected (Al-Bayhaqi which is authenticated by Al-Albani). Your duas have increased in weight since the time you say Labbaik to the time you finish your rites. The Islamic sites also enhance the spiritual opportunity such as Multazam, the wall between the Ka’bah and the door of the Black Stone is where the Prophet PBUH laid his chest and cheeks and wept in sincere prayers. The Rukn al-Yamani corner and the walk between Safa and Marwah are also important points, because they echo the footsteps of Ibrahim, Ismail, and Hajar; their faith in Allah is what makes up our rituals.
Dua while Entering the State of Ihram
The Miqat is a point at which the world is forgotten and the heart is fully devoted to Allah. To the pilgrims of the UK, this point occurs when you are travelling on the plane, just before landing in Jeddah. The moment plane reaches the point of Miqat, you are informed by the crew so that you can make sincere intentions (niyyah) before the performance of Umrah and start reciting the Talbiyah,
Labbaik Allahumma labbaik
Here I am, O Allah, here I am.
This talbiyah is similar to that of Prophet Ibrahim when he was ordered by the Creator SWT to welcome Muslims to perform pilgrimage which promoted Islam. It is stated that men must recite the talbiyah loudly, while women must whisper. The Talbiyah is not a single statement but a sincere practice to keep in mind while in the state of ihram. When you are performing Umrah with your family for the first time including kids, there are various parents who record the first Talbiyah of their children which is a beautiful memory to remember years later. Listening to the audio is a heartbreaking memory of their spiritual origins.
The Sacred Ritual of Tawaf
The process of Tawaf includes circling around the Ka’bah for seven times which is a symbol of the life of the believer being centered and depended on Allah SWT only. Start your religious performance around the Black Stone with a right hand up reciting Bismillah, Allahu Akbar.
The most spiritual moment while performing Umrah is the last part of every circle: between the Yemeni Corner (Rukn al-Yamani) and the Black Stone. This is the space that is attached to the Multazam. Pilgrims can offer sacred prayers in any language as Allah knows what is placed in the heart of every believer. Ask you Almighty for intentional forgiveness as he listens to the sincere offering of his creation from closest.
The supplication of Quran which is a beautiful way to embrace both the needs of the worldly and eternal,
Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah wa fil-akhirati hasanah
Remember: The religious performance of Tawaf during Umrah is not a race but mainly a walk with attention and sincere offerings. Perform this ritual with calmness that each rotation around the Holy Kaaba deepens your faith as a Muslim. The Ka’bah is not just considered as a religious object of worship but more importantly it is the Qiblah where millions of Muslims are united while offering Salah in the sacred direction. During the offering of these seven rounds, you follow the footsteps of beloved prophets and their companions which help you connect with the timeless revolution of submission and mercy.
