Many individuals make the same errors repeatedly, and we've compiled a list of the most prevalent ones so that we may be on the lookout for them and take the necessary precautions to avoid them. You can prevent most of them if you buy our VIP cheap umrah Packages. Our Hajj will be more in line with the Sunnah and hence more pleasing to Allah if we do it in this manner.
• Supposing that your prayer would be heard just by looking towards the Kaaba: A common misconception is that if you pray before the Kaaba for the first time, your prayers will be fulfilled. Not so! Shariah does not support this. And whatever Hadith one may discover on the subject is either flimsy or completely made up.
• Stopping Tawaf at a distance to "kiss" the Black Stone: To be allowed to kiss the Black Stone is a lovely Sunnah and a great honor. Unfortunately, the vast majority of individuals cannot get there because of the massive crowd. Many make an effort to distantly "kiss" it. Tawaf is performed by stopping when in line with the Black Stone, turning to face it, raising both hands to the sides of the head, and 'kissing' it in the air as if it were in front of them. The Black Stone may also be the target of "flying kisses." Stopping the flow of Tawaf is not only an improper action, but it also produces chaos and crowds of people in the region, which is very inconvenient for other pilgrims. What we just did was the last step. It is recommended that if we are far away from the Black Stone, we point to it with our right hand, exclaim Allahu Akbar, and go on. No turning your back on the Kaaba, no "distance kissing," no sudden stops. Don't stop walking; stopping would be disruptive to the Tawaf.
• Raising voices to the heavens in a unified chorus of Dua: They have a leader, or an Imam, who speaks the Du'as loudly, and the faithful repeat them in unison. Many people praying nearby are disrupted and lose their concentration and Khushoo' as a result. The Haram is a sacred area. Thus it goes without saying that loud speech has no place there. To get the most out of your Tawaf, you should have planned your prayers (Duas), recitations from the Qur'an, and other rituals ahead of time. In this manner, you may make your own personal Du'a in your own language and from your heart without worrying about offending anybody else. Your focus and happiness levels will increase.
• Assigning different Du'as to different rounds: in fact, there are books with different Du'as written for each round. Shariah does not support such a practice. Neither the Prophet (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) nor his companions recited any particular Du'a throughout the rounds. If that were the case, he would have informed us about it, and he would have done so before anybody else.
• Doing Tawaf on behalf of another person: They do the Tawaf or seven-circuit pilgrimage around the Kaaba and then give the merit of their good deed to their living loved ones or the souls of their ancestors who have gone on. Family and friends often ask pilgrims doing Hajj or Umrah to "make one Tawaf on their behalf." There is zero support for this. Thus it must be rejected. Individuals may do Hajj and Umrah on behalf of others, but not Tawaf.
• Multiple Umrahs: Some individuals conduct further Umrahs after completing the first one, leaving Makkah for Masjid Ayesha (Tan'eem) or another Meeqat site to don a fresh Ihram and repeat the rite. Some individuals do the Umrah many times a day. Not only is this not what the Sahabah did, but it also goes against all we know about the Sunnah. Rather than doing numerous Umrahs, it is recommended that you conduct as many Tawaf as possible. Performing the Tawaf in any other city outside Makkah would be sacrilegious. Therefore this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
• Considering Jamarat as being Devil: When they go to stone the Jamarat, some individuals mistakenly believe they are stoning demons. They are so certain that they are stoning Iblees himself that the implication is never made. They have a name for this practice: "Stoning the Shaitan." The opposite is true. Devils, they are not, the Jamarat. Stone these Jamarat to commemorate Allah and emulate the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). So long as it has been so far. There's no need to get all up, no need to swear at the Jamarat, and no reason to physically threaten anybody.
• Some people believe that they will be blessed if they touch the Kaaba or Maqam Ibrahim. People also believe that touching the pillars of the Grand Mosque or the Mosque of the Prophet would bring them good fortune, and thus they do it before washing their hands. Another act that has no validity in Islamic law. None of this was done by the Holy Prophet (PBUH). If it were worthwhile, he would have done it. However, he did not, and neither will we.
• Praying 40 times in Madina: Many Muslims believe that Hajj is incomplete without praying the equivalent of 40 times at the Prophet's Mosque. You're mistaken. The Hadith on which this relies is rather flimsy. Neither doing 40 prayers nor going to Madina is required as part of the Hajj. Spending as much time as possible in Madina and praying as often as possible at the Prophet's Mosque is highly recommended; however, the belief that one must finish 40 prayers there is incorrect.
Remember the items mentioned above, and refrain from engaging in fruitless activities. To avoid this kind of misunderstanding, it is recommended that you first Google "group umrah packages 2023" and then choose the most all-inclusive package that meets your requirements.
