Holy site

Makkah is the holiest city for Muslims. It embraces Masjid Al Haram (the GreatMosque) and Kaaba, the qiblah for Muslims to which they turn in their prayers. Muslims yearn to visit Makkah to perform Hajj or Umrah. In this city, Prophet Muhammad, the most honorable of creation, the seal of the prophets and messengers, our master Muhammad, peace be upon him, was born, and from it, the tolerant message of Islam was launched to all corners of the world after the Holy Quran was revealed. Makkah is located in the western part of Saudi Arabia. During the reign of the kings of Saudi Arabia, it received great interest. Makkah still enjoys great attentionto provide the best services to pilgrims. Its most prominent landmark, Masjid Al Haram, witnessed many expansions that included all parts of the mosque, and the holy sites received a series of development works to provide all means of comfort and reassurance for all pilgrims from inside and outside the Kingdom..

The Grand Mosque

Sections of the Grand Mosque of Makkah

Ka’bah courtyard or Mataf: It is the courtyard tiled with white marble that surrounds the honorable Ka’bah. Currently, it is called the “courtyard,” in which Muslims walk around the Kab’ah. It is also called Mataf (circumambulation area), which refers to the act of going around the Ka’bah.
The Abbasid corridor dates back to the reign of the Abbasid Caliph Muhammad al-Mahdi. This corridor has undergone many innovations down the ages and during the Saudi expansions of the Grand Mosque of Makkah.
Saudi leaders have prioritized improving and expanding the Grand Mosque of Makkah to keep pace with the increasing number of Hajj and ‘Umrah pilgrims. During the reign of King Saud, the first expansions of the Grand Mosque were commenced in 1375 AH. The Grand Mosque was further expanded in 1409 and in 1428AH.
In the second Saudi expansion, large courtyards surrounding the Grand Mosque were created and prepared for prayer, especially during the crowded seasons. They were tiled with heat-resisting marble.
The second Saudi expansion exploited the roof of the Grand Mosque. The roof was tiled with heat-resisting marble. In the third Saudi expansion, escalators were installed to carry worshipers to the roof and the first floor during Hajj-high and crowded seasons.
Many gates lead to the courtyard of the Grand Mosque. Each Gate has a specific number. Above each gate, a light panel, recognizable from a distance, displays either an entry or exit sign.

Umrah in a Nutshell

What is the Umrah?

Umrah is an act of worshipping Allah by entering the state of Ihram, circumambulating the House, running between Safa and Marwa, and having the head shaved or trimmed.

How do I enter into the state of Ihram?

• A Muslim enters into the state of Ihram at the place specified by Sharia, and shall abstain from the Ihram prohibitions
• He shall recite Talbiyah, saying: “Labbayka Allaahumma Labbayk, Labbayka La Shareeka Laka Labbayk. Innal Hamda Wan-ni’mata Laka Wal-Mulk, La Shareeka Lak” (Here I am at your service, o Allah, at Your service! At Your service! You have no partner! I am at Your service! Indeed, all praise and grace belong to You, and so does the supreme authority. You have no partner)

Circumambulation (Tawaf):

• He/she goes to the Haram
• When the Kaaba is to the left, they circumambulate (counterclockwise)
• He begins and ends at the Black Stone
• After completion of the seven rounds, you pray two Rakaah in an appropriate place

Sa’i (between Safa and Marwa):

He/she heads to Safa where he starts Sa’i towards Marwa. Once reaching Marwa, you have completed one round. Crossing the distance back to Safa fulfills the second round, and so on until the seventh round ends at Marwa.

Having hair of the head shaven or trimmed:

• After completing Sa’i, men go to the barber shops to have their hair shaven or trimmed
• With this act, the Umrah would be completed, marking the end of Ihram

Umrah pilgrims should avoid any conduct that harms others in the Haram, such as jostling, entering crowded places, and reversing the direction of circumambulation. They shall carefully follow the instructions of observers and security personnel.

• A Muslim enters into the state of Ihram at the place specified by Sharia, and shall abstain from the Ihram prohibitions
• He shall recite Talbiyah, saying: “Labbayka Allaahumma Labbayk, Labbayka La Shareeka Laka Labbayk. Innal Hamda Wan-ni’mata Laka Wal-Mulk, La Shareeka Lak” (Here I am at your service, o Allah, at Your service! At Your service! You have no partner! I am at Your service! Indeed, all praise and grace belong to You, and so does the supreme authority. You have no partner)

Circumambulation (Tawaf):

• He/she goes to the Haram
• When the Kaaba is to the left, they circumambulate (counterclockwise)
• He begins and ends at the Black Stone
• After completion of the seven rounds, you pray two Rakaah in an appropriate place

Sa’i (between Safa and Marwa):

He/she heads to Safa where he starts Sa’i towards Marwa. Once reaching Marwa, you have completed one round. Crossing the distance back to Safa fulfills the second round, and so on until the seventh round ends at Marwa.

Having hair of the head shaven or trimmed:

• After completing Sa’i, men go to the barber shops to have their hair shaven or trimmed
• With this act, the Umrah would be completed, marking the end of Ihram

Umrah pilgrims should avoid any conduct that harms others in the Haram, such as jostling, entering crowded places, and reversing the direction of circumambulation. They shall carefully follow the instructions of observers and security personnel.
