“The guests of Allah are three: The Ghazi (i.e. the warrior who fights in Jihad), the Hajj (i.e. the pilgrim who performs Hajj) and the Mu’tamir (i.e. the pilgrim performing Umrah).” - Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

- [Sunan an-Nasa'i 2625]

Mu’tamir: The Guest of Allah (SWT)

A mu’tamir is a person who visits the holy city of Mecca intending to perform the lesser pilgrimage. In Islam, a mu’tamir is treated with great respect because our beloved Prophet (PBUH) said, that the believers who come to perform the pilgrimage of Hajj and Umrah, Allah (SWT) treat them as His guest. Thus, while performing the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH), a Muslim gets this reward. He/she can experience the magnificent aura of Masjid-al-Haram, where the House of Allah (SWT) is standing high. 

Muslims book the best Umrah packages to visit the Holy Kaaba and perform the rituals of Umrah. So, they can strengthen their bond with the most Gracious Allah (SWT).   

Walking On the Steps of the Prophet

In his lifetime, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed the journey of Umrah four times. The journey, which is regarded as the lesser pilgrimage in Islam, is also said the greatest Sunnah of the religion. As Muslims follow the sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) in their daily life, they also try to perform this Sunnah just the way Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) performed. In Umrah, he performed the rituals of – 

Donning Ihram: According to the Sunnah, when a pilgrim comes to perform the Umrah, he/she should take a Ghusl and then he must wear the white Ihram cloth. Women should wear a light, loose-fitting long dress with a Hijab covering the head. Then making the Niyyah for the pilgrimage they should start the walk towards the Holy Kaaba.

• Tawaf al-Umrah: The second important step in Umrah is circumambulating the Holy Kaaba anti-clockwise for seven times. After performing the ritual with proper Du’a, a pilgrim can pray by touching the Multazam. This area is believed as one of the most sacred parts of the Holy Kaaba, where Dua’s get accepted.
• Sa’i: This is an obligatory ritual in both Hajj and Umrah. This ritual is performed by walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah for seven times. 
• Halq/ Taqseer: After performing the three rituals mentioned above a pilgrim should shave his hair (Halq) or can trim the hair (Taqseer) at least 1 inch. For women, they should cut a lock of their hair. 
  
  

After all these rituals, a mu’tamir can remove the Ihram cloth and start preparing to come back with a heart full of positivity, peace, and Taqwa. Check the Umrah package price of the Adeeba Tour and Travels if you wish to perform the Sunnah within budget.

A Mother’s Search for Child’s Life 

Do you know what is significance of the ritual Sa’i? Why it is a Farz in both the pilgrimage of Umrah and Hajj? If we are discussing the ritual of Sa’i, we must go back to the time of Hagar (RA). When Prophet Ibrahim (AS) left her with their infant son Ismael (AS) in the barren desert of Mecca following the command of Allah (SWT). 

After a while, when the baby became hungry and thirsty, Hagar (RA) was left with nothing but loneliness. The mother got panic-stricken, to save the life of her child she started running between the Hills of Safa and Marwah surviving the harsh heat of the desert. She started crying for help, praying to Allah (SWT) she asked for His guidance. Watching Hagar (RA)’s devotion Allah (SWT) gifted the spring of Zamzam to save the life of her child. When a pilgrim walks between Safa and Marwah, he/she must commemorate Hagar’s helplessness and Imaan on Allah (SWT).
