The Umrah or 'umra (small pilgrimage) is a form of
pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. Unlike the great Hajj pilgrimage that can
only be done during the last month of the Muslim year (ḏū al-ḥijja), Umrah can
be done every other month of the year. It is nevertheless recommended to do it
during the month of Ramadan. Umrah is not an obligation and is often done at
the same time as Hajj and now a days alot of companies offering umrah packages if you are in uk then we will prefer you Umrah Package UK

The formula of intention will be like this: "Labayk
Allahuma Omratan Taqabalha mini (Allah, I answer your call for Umrah facilitate
it for me and accept it)".
Al Talbya:
To face the Qibla while pronouncing the Talbia (invocation
for the pilgrimage) following:
"O Allah this is an omra" from the fixed place
called MIQAT,
Then the pilgrim must say, "Here I am Lord, here I am.
Here I am, you have no partner, here I am. To you praise, grace and
sovereignty, You have no associate. "
Ettawaf
The pilgrim must stop the talbya when he arrives in Mecca,
he must perform the ablutions and return to the sacred places by the door of
BANI CHAYBA or SALAM door and say the following invocation: "Allahoumma
salli 'ala mohammad allahumma iftah ly abwaba rahmatik ", and at the
moment of seeing KAABA he must say" ALLAHOUMMA ANTA ASSALAM WA MINKA
ASSALAM FAHAYINA RABANA BISSALAM ".
He must do the seven rounds of KAABA, it is sounded that the
right shoulder to be naked, accelerate during the first three rounds, the
beginning is done in front of the black stone raising the right hand and say
"Bismi Allah Allah Akabar Oua Li Allah Al Hamd ", try to touch the
Yemeni corner if possible without kissing or making a special sign, do not
raise your voice with invocations and reminding during tawaf, saying between
the two corners:" RABANA ATENA FI DOUNYA HASSANA WA ALAKHIRA FI HASSANA WA
QINA ADDABA ANNAR ".
Be behind Maqame IBRAHIM if possible and read the following
verse "wa ttakhiddou mimqami Ibrahim moussalla" do not forget to
cover your shoulder, then pray two rakaat read the fatiha and sura 109 in the
first unit, read the fatiha and the sura 112 in the second.
Go and drink zamzam water and put on the head then go back
to the black stone by beckoning with the right hand and say "bissmi Allah
Allahu Akbar".
the course (Essaây) between Safa and Marwa
Essaây consists of traveling seven times the distance
separating Safa and Maroua two small mountains whose authentic remains are
preserved by a layer of a special product. The first course begins at Safa and
ends at Meroua, the second starts at Maroua and ends at Safa and thus until the
seventh ending at Maroua.
During the course you have to invoke God and at the end of
each course you have to finish it with the Doua from the Noble Quran while
trying to see Al Kaba Echarifa:
'As Safa and Al Marwah are really among the sacred places of
Allah. So whoever makes the pilgrimage to the House or the Umra does not sin by
going back and forth between these two mountains. And whoever does a good work
of his own accord, then Allah is grateful, omniscient. (Sourat Al Baqara - Aya
158)
