Method of doing Tawaaf
“ O` Allah I am doing this tawaaf to please you and seek your help to make this tawaaf easy for me. “
After making intention, one has to do Izteba. If possible, go straight to Hajre Aswad (Black stone) which is embedded in one the corner of the holy Ka`aba, then kiss it (This action is known as ISTELAAM ). If you are not able to reach Hajre Aswad then on the opposite side of Hajre Aswad there is a green light, you be in the line of that light, face your both palms towards Hajre Aswad and do Istelaam and make this dua :
“ Bismillahe Allaho Akbar ! Laa ilaha illallaho ! Wa lillahil Hamd.”
Then kiss your both hands and start the Tawaaf.
VII . ONE IMPORTANT THING
It is better if you make dua at different spots and While making various dua you should use your own language so that you can understand them and can concentrate.
DUA IN TAWAAF :
1. When you start encompassing (tawaaf) and reach in line with the door of Ka`aba , then recite :
“ O ` Allah ! Please save me from the punishment in the Hell with your mercy.”
Translation in Urdu :
“Yaa Allah ; Tu apne karam se mujhe dozakh ke azaab se bacha de”
2. When you reach infront of Station of Ibrahim ( Muqaam e Ibrahim), then you make this dua :
“ O` Allah ! This is the place of your Ibrahim, Please restrict the fire to approach my body and my flesh.
Translation in Urdu :
“Yaa Allah! Yeh tere Ibrahim kaa muqaam hai, tu apne karam se hamare gosht aur jism par aag ko haraam kar de”
3. By the time you finish the above dua, you reach the first corner of the Ka`aba which is known as “Rukne Iraqi “here you can make the following dua :
“ O` Allah, I seek your refuge from the doubts and from any association with you of any partner. Also make dua for your family members.
Translation in Urdu :
“Yaa Allah ! Main shak aur shirk se teri panah chahata hoon.”
4. In the meantime you will reach infront of “ Meezabe Rahmat “ this is a place where water from the roof of Ka`aba falls in Hateem through a pipe. You make a dua here :
“ O`Allah ! I seek nearness to your apostle in his Paradise ( Jannatul Khuld). O` Allah ,I also seek your shadow in the day of judgement. That day ,none will be there except You . Please offer me drink from kausar so thereafter I will not feel thirst.
Transaltion in Urdu :
'' Yaa Allah ! Main Jannatul Khuld me tere Nabi Mohammad (saws) kaa saath Maangta hoon aur Yaa Allah Hashr ke maidan mein tera saaya maangta hoon, us din teri zaat ke siwa koi na hoga us din tera saaya naseeb farmaa.Aur us din apne nabi Mohammad (saws) ke houze kausar se aisa pani pila keh us ke baad pyaas na lage.”
5. When you reach the next corner of the Ka`aba which is known as “Rukne Shaami “ then make the following dua “
“ O ` Allah ! My Umrah should be great, please accept my labour, forgive my sins. Yaa` Aziz, Yaa` Ghafoor “
Translation in Urdu :
“ Yaa Allah Mera Hajj Ooncha ho ,Meri Mehnat qubool ho ,mere gunah Maaf ho. "Yaa Aziz , Yaa Ghafoor "
6 . You will be reaching at the third corner Which is known as “ Rukne Yamani ” here you can make the following dua “
O ` Allah Please forgive me and also relax me, in this world and also in the life Hereafter
Translation in Urdu :
Yaa Allah ! Main Duniya aur akherat mein tujh se Ma`afi aur sukoon maangta hoon
7 . From here you move towards hajre Aswad and while walking you recite
o رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Transliteration :
“Rabbana Aatena fid duniya hasanatau wa fil aakharate hasanatau wa qena azaaban naar “
Translation : "Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the fire!" Translation in Urdu :
Yaa Parwardigaar, hum ko duniya mein bhi bhalai de aur Aakherat mein bhi bhalai ata farma aur hum ko dozakh ke azaab se bacha.
8.. You will reach back at Hajre Aswad means one round is completed . This is known as “ Shooth ” When you complete seven shooths then one tawaaf is finished.
9 . Please remember that Taawaf can be performed without reciting anything or without making any dua. VIII. Reciting two rakats of Wajib salat : 1. After completion of the tawaaf you recite two rakats of wajib salat possibly at the place of Ibrahim otherwise recite it wherever you get place in Mataaf (Space around Ka`aba). After reciting these two rakats you seek Allah's blessings, make dua for best reward in the life Hereafter, request Allah for forgiveness and for life long and real faith,and finally for welfare of your children and other relatives and friends. IX. Zamzam Sharif After Salat recite Bismillah then face ka`aba and drink zamzam in three instalments. Then make following dua : “ Yaa Allah ! Help to increase my knowledge, give sustenance and give me relief from all diseases. “ Translation in Urdu : “ Yaa Allah ! Mere ilm mein nafa ata kar, aur khoob rizq ata kar aur har bimari se shifa de “ XI . Sa`i Safa and Marwa are two hills near the Masjide Haram. The literal meaning of Sa'i is to run. To make seven rounds between Safa and Marwah, is called Sa'i. This action is observed as a memorial of Hazrat Hajra, the wife of Hazrat Ibrahim and mother of Hazrat Ismail. The Sa'i is 'Wajib' both in 'Hajj' and Umrah. You must keep in mind that one round is complete when you run from Safa to Marwa , and second round is finished when you run from Marwa to Safa. How to Perform Sa`i It is to be performed after Tawaaf ,if it is performed before Tawaaf it will not be valid. It is not necessary to perform a Sa'i immediately after Tawaaf, though it is a Sunnat to do so, but there is no harm if there is a pause in between on account of any human necessity. Although Sa'i is 'Wajib' to be performed on foot but in case of some excuse the person is allowed on wheel chair. If someone performs Sa'i on a wheel chair without any valid reason, he will be liable to give Dum .i.e. offering a sacrifice. 1. After Tawaaf ,when you drink Zamzam Water you are ready to go for Sa'i. You have to go again to Hajr-e-Aswad ,if possible kiss it . In case it is not possible then face both your hands towards hajre Aswad ,kiss them and proclaim. “ Yaa Allah ! I am making this sai to please you, therefore You make this easy for me and approve my action. 2. Lift both your hands as you do in dua and recite : لا الهَ اِلَّا اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيْكَ لَهْ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْى وَ يُمِيْتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَئ ٍ قَدِيْرٌ Transliteration : “ La ilaha illal-laho wahdahu la šharika lahu lahul-mulko wa lahul-hamdo yohi wa yumito be yadehil-khayr wa howa ala kulle šhayin qadeer. “
Translation : There is no God but Allah. He is only One. He has no partners. For Him (is) the Kingdom. And for Him (is) the Praise. He gives life and acuses death. In His hand (is) the goodness. And He has power over everything.. Translation in Urdu : Nahi hai koi Ma`bood siwae Allah ke Uska koi sharik nahi Usi ke liye mulk hai usi ke liye ta`reef hai aur wo har cheez par qaadir hai. While doing sai, which ever dua you have in memory you can make and along with it remember Allah also. When you reach the green pillars, you start running and keep running upto the other green pillars. (for men only) Then again you have to walk with normal speed. When seven rounds are completed then to offer two Rak'ats of salat by the side of 'Mataaf' (where Tawaaf is performed in the Haram). Now all the restrictions pertaining to Ehraam of Umrah have come to end . After being free from Sa'i you may shave your head or at least have hair cut equal to a finger's joint (about an inch) in length. For women the hair cut is equal to one fold of hair over the finger. You have now completed Umrah therefore the Ehraam formality has ended. In this way the Minor Pilgrimage ( Umrah ) Is performed Note : During stay in Mecca if you want to perform another Umrah, you have to go to Masjid-e -Ayesha by a mini bus for making Intention for being in Ehraam. There you recite two rakats and make intention. This Masjid is about 5 Km from Mecca . One Important thing to remember :
During this period you will notice that at the time of practically every salat, some funerals are kept for Salat-e-Janaza. Therefore after every Farz Salat the janaza salat is performed. The men and women observe this salat ,it is therefore important that every member should know the method of salat-e-Janaza. You can click here to know the method Hajj XII . You will wear the Ehraam at Mecca only for performing Hajj. III . Method of performing Hajj : 8th of Zil Hajj : 1. You take a bath (Gusl) or if it is not possible then go for Ablution (wuzu) ,then wear your Ehraam ,cover your head with the sheet of Ehraam and recite two rakats Nafil in Masjide Haraam. After both the salams uncover your head,thereafter make intention ( Niyyat) as under : 2. “ `O` Allah, I make intention to perform Hajj to please You. Please make this Hajj easy for me and approve it. “ Dua in Urdu : “ Yaa Allah! Main aap ki raza ke liye Hajj karta ya karti hoon. Is Hajj ko mere liye Aasaan farmaa aur qubool farmaa- “ 3. Then recite Talbiyah ,three times . لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، انَّالْحَمْدَ، وَالنِّعْمَةَ، لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، انَّالْحَمْدَ، وَالنِّعْمَةَ، لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ Transliteration : Labbaik Allah humma Labbaik ! Labbaik Laa sharika laka Labbaik ! Innal Hamda Wan Nemata Laka wal Mulk ! Laa Sharika Laka ! Translation : I respond to Your call O Allah, I respond to Your call, and I am obedient to Your orders, You have no partner, I respond to Your call, All the praises and blessings are for You, All the sovereignty is for You, And You have no partners with you. Translation in Urdu : Main hazir hoon, Allah tere huzoor me, Main hazir hoon , Main hazir hoon ! Tera koi shareek nahi,Main hazir hoon, Saari ta`reefe aur sab ne'maten teri hi hai! Aur Mulk aur Badshahat teri hi hai , Tera koi shareek nahi !] 4. Now consider yourselves in Ehraam and also keep reciting Talbiyah. 5. Today all the Pilgrims leave Mecca and proceed to Mina by BUS which is Five KM from Mecca. You will now be away for 4 to 5 days therefore take the articles of necessities along with you. Also carry some dry food articles which you may require in Arafat and Muzdalfa. In Mina you will be in a tent and getting food from the canteen. Bathroom, toilets and other facilities will be there near your tents. 6. In Mina you will be reciting Zohar, Asar, Maghrib, Isha on 8th of Zil Hajj and Fajr on 9th of Zil Hajj.During this period you do Tilawate Quran, Remembrance of Allah ( Zikr) and make dua. 9th Zil Hajj : Mina to Arafat 1. This day there will be a departure from Mina to Arafat after Salate Fajr. Arafat is 8 KM from Mina therefore on way you continue reciting Talbiyah. 2. If water is available then take a bath otherwise go for wuzu. 3. Those pilgrims who are in Masjide Namera ,they will be reciting Zohar and Asar one after another behind the Imam. 4. Those pilgrims who cannot reach Masjide Namera ,they have to recite both the salats seperately on their prescribed time in respective tents. 6. In Arafat you will be spending few hours only but they are the most precious hours of your life. These hours are the biggest treasure of Hajj therefore you should not waste a single minute . Utilize your time in Tilawate Quran, Remembrance of Allah ( Zikre ilahi), Reciting Talbiyah in intervels, While making dua ,you be in the open sky in standing position. While making dua Praise Allah with tremendous faith, Request Allah to forgive all your sins, Extend promise to Allah that you will not repeat the same sins. Make dua for your parents, your children, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends. 7. In addition you make dua for Rasool ullah for Allah's Rahmat. 8. Please note that Staying in Arafat is a Rukn-e-Azam of Hajj 9. If you get a chance you must climb the mountain of Rahamt (Jabale Rahmat) and here also you can make many dua. This is a mountain where the Prophet had delivered his last sermon. There is a remote possibility of reaching near Jabale Rahmat. 10. Arafat to Muzdalfa : As soon as the sun sets in, you must move to Muzdalfa without offering Maghrib Salat and keep reciting Talbiyah. Please remember that around 3 million pilgrims travel towards Muzdalfa just after sunset. You must therefore try to avail any kind of transport and reach Muzdalfa in minimum possible time. Care must be taken to travel in groups. Muzdalfa is about 9 KM from Arafat. Do not wait for the transport which is normally provided by the Muallim. In case if you get it immediately after sunset then avail it. When you reach Muzdalfa which is an open ground, recite Maghrib Farz then Isha Farz then Maghrib Sunnat and then sunnah of Isha and Witr. 11. Night of Muzdalfa is very important . After reciting Isha , for some time you remain busy in Zikr, make dua for forgiving of sins and then take some rest. 12. After taking rest , go for doing wuzu and then spend the whole night in worshipping, Zikr, and dua. At this place the Prophet had asked Allah for many facilities for the followers . Therefore you can also ask many things from the Almighty. For performing Rami, you need total 49 pebbles (small roundish stones) on safer side you have to collect about 60 pebbles in Muzdalfa only. 10th Zil Hajj : 1. Recite Fajr in Muzdalfa and keep your self busy in Zikr and rememberence of Allah and then move towards Mina. Please remember to avail any kind of transport and try to reach Mina as fast as possible. Mina is about 4 KM from Muzdalfa. After reaching Mina, the very first thing to be done is to do Rami . 2. There are three Jamrat : · Ist Jamrah is called as " Jamrah Oola "t Jamrah is called “Jamrah Oola” This is near the Masjide Khaif · 2nd Jamrah is called as “ Jamrah Wusta “ · 3rd Jamrah which is the last one and is called as “ Jamrah Aqbah “
3. RAMI : You have to do Rami at 3rd Jamrah means Jamrah Aqbah.There will be unimaginable rush of people, but nothing to worry. The Govt. of Saudi Arabia has made elaborate arrangements and the area has become totally accident free. You can proceed towards jamrah fearlessly and when you reach there, say ; BISMILLAHE AALHO AKBAR and start throwing seven pebbles one by one towards the wall. It is not necessary that the pebble should hit the wall, but see that it should go within the boundary wall . The reciting of Talbiyah ends here. 4. SACRIFICE : It is better if you deposit the amount of sacrifice in a saudi Bank before 8th of Zil hajj or if someone is interested to make his own arrangement he will be free to do it. You fix the time of sacrifice on 10th Zil Hajj which should be between 1 to 2 PM , this will give you enough time to perform Rami as it has to be performed before the sacrifice. 5. After the sacrifice, you have to shave your head and the women should cut their hair equal to one fold of hair over the finger. 6. EHRAAM : Now some of the restrictions pertaining to Ehraam of Hajj have come to an end . You can now take bath, wear your normal clothes and use scent (Itr). Other restrictions will come to end after TAWAAF- E- ZIARAT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ahadis from Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 3, Number 83: Narrated 'Abdullah bin Amr bin Al 'Aas: Allah's Apostle stopped (for a while near the Jimar) at Mina during his last Hajj for the people and they were asking him questions. A man came and said, "I forgot and got my head shaved before slaughtering the Hadi (sacrificing animal)." The Prophet said, "There is no harm, go and do the slaughtering now." Then another person came and said, "I forgot and slaughtered (the camel) before Rami (throwing of the pebbles) at the Jamra." The Prophet said, "Do the Rami now and there is no harm." The narrator added: So on that day, when the Prophet was asked about anything (as regards the ceremonies of Hajj) performed before or after its due time, his reply was: "Do it (now) and there is no harm." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume 1, Book 3, Number 84: Sahih Bukhari Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Somebody said to the Prophet (during his last Hajj), "I did the slaughtering before doing the Rami.' The Prophet beckoned with his hand and said, "There is no harm in that." Then another person said. "I got my head shaved before offering the sacrifice." The Prophet beckoned with his hand saying, "There is no harm in that." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. TAWAAF- E- ZIARAT : This Tawaaf can be done till the evening of 12th of Zil Hajj ,but it is much better to do it on 10th it self. This should be done in normal clothes. You have to go back to Mecca ,perform the Tawaaf and sai, which is exactly like you have done in Umrah. After performing tawaaf and sai you should go back to Mina in your camp. 8. RAMI ON 11th & 12th OF ZIL HAJJ On both the days you have to perform Rami at all the three jamrats. This rami if it is done after decline of sun and before sunset is sunnah. You start from Jamrah Oola then Jamrah Wusta and finally of Jamrah Aqbah. The method of performing rami is same as done on 10th of Zil Hajj. XIV . RETURN JOURNEY FROM MINA TO MECCA When you reach back Mecca you should be thankful to Allah that you have performed your Hajj . Please Pray to Allah that He should approve your Hajj. Now whatever days you get in Mecca ,utilize them to do as many as nafil tawaafs, recite nafil salats in mataaf, try to recite salat in Hateem. XV .TAWAAF E WIDA At the time of your final departure from Mecca, you have to do Tawaaf e wida. XVI . SOME IMPORTANT POINTS · Tawaaf e ziarat should be done after removing Ehraam's sheets. · Sai can be performed without wuzu also · Do not leave Arafat before sun set ,if you do it then you are liable to give Dum ( sacrifice of animal). · If he leaves Arafat before sunset and comes back then stay till sunset then Dum is not necessary. · It is mandatory to recite Salat e Maghrib and Isha at the time of Isha in Muzdalfa. · Staying in Muzdalfa is mandatory ( Called as Waqoof e Muzdalfa). Women, sick pilgrims or quite old people can skip Muzdalfa and can directly go to Mina from Arafat. · Wash the pebbles collected at Muzdalfa for doing rami. · Men and women must perform rami in person but if any one is sick and is not able to reach the Jamraat then any one can assist them. · Those who are assisting should throw his or her pebble first and then throw the other's pebble. · During menstruation, the women cannot do the Tawaaf. If menses starts on 10th of Zil Haj then she had to wait till she is able to take bath (Gusl). Thereafter she has to perform Tawaaf e Ziarat.
