There is a difference between a ‘Tour’ and a ‘Hajj and Umrah Tour’. When we go on a journey only to spend holidays that’s a Tour but when we make a journey for the sake of the Almighty Allah (SWT) to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, those journeys become Pilgrimage. If you are the one who is looking for such a Hajj Umrah package from Kolkata and waiting to guided properly this blog will help you out.
What is a Niyyah?
Niyyah is an Arabic word that has a deep connection with the Islamic concept. In Islam, the word is described as the ‘Intention’ to do something good for the sake of the Gracious Allah (SWT). Because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also said that the deeds are the result of good Intention or Niyyah. So, in the life of a Muslim, when he or she intends to do some good deeds and thinks of it, then he or she is making the Niyyah. Allah (SWT) always seeks for good heart and good intention because, for Him, even a gentle smile is an act of good deed if it comes from the core of your heart. While going to meet Allah (SWT) through Hajj and Umrah, Niyyat is something you must make even before choosing the Hajj Umrah package for your journey.
How to Make Niyyah?
One’s Niyyah is of utmost importance in performing a ritual but if you think that only uttering words and phrases for Niyyah is enough, then you are going the wrong way. We must understand one thing making a Niyyah is very important from the core of the Heart.
Here in Qurbani also, Allah (SWT) emphasized the intention more than the deed. So, it merely matters what package you choose on your journey. Whether you choose a luxury Umrah package or a minimum cheap package, Allah (SWT) will weigh your intention, your Sabr, and your act of kindness.
Is It Necessary to Make Niyyah Before Pilgrimage?
In Islam, Niyyah is believed to be the core of every act intended for the sake of Allah (SWT). The journeys of Hajj and Umrah are performed to seek His Barkat and Mercy. So, here also you need to make Niyyah.
In the journey, you should make Niyyah in Miqat or the nearer areas when you step towards the holy Kaaba. You should have the Niyyah till the end of the rituals.
- Making Niyyah for Hajj: This is the Niyyah that you should recite if you are going to perform Hajj al-Ifrad or Hajj al-Tamattu.
“Labbayka Ll?humma ?ajja.
All?humma inn? ur?du l-?ajj.
All?humma inn? ur?du l-?ajja fa yassirhu l? wa taqabbalhu minn?.”
“O Allah, here I am to perform Hajj.
O Allah, I intend to perform Hajj.
O Allah, I intend to perform Hajj, so make it easy for me and accept it from me.”
- Making Niyyah for Umrah: If you are going for Umrah with a cheap Umrah package at any time of the year, you can recite this to set your Niyyah.
Labbayka Ll?humma ?Umrah.
All?humma inn? ur?du l-?Umrah.
All? humma inn? ur? du l-?Umrata fa yassirh? l? wa taqabbalh? Minn?.
‘O Allah, here I am to perform Umrah.
O Allah, I intend to perform Umrah.
O Allah, I intend to perform Umrah, so make it easy for me and accept it from me.’
- Recite Talbiyah to Validate: Once you make your Niyyah, you should not miss to recite the Talbiyah. Talbiyah validates your state of Ihram and your Niyyah. When stepping inside the Holy Mosque, remember to recite –
“Labbayka Ll?humma labbayk, labbayka l? shar?ka laka labbayk, inna l-?amda wa n-ni?mata, laka wa l-mulk, l? shar?ka lak.”
