 I begin in the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful, I bear witness that there's none worthy of worship except the one Allah and that His beloved Nabi and Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is his last and final messenger. Alhamdulillah for those of you that are here in person and then of course everyone that happens to be online. It's an immense pleasure, honor to be amongst those who get to be chosen to go to the house of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to make Umrah and to visit the beloved Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in Medina Munawwara. This is a very powerful trip and our lives are filled with a lot of busyness, dunya, world, importance in how we dress, what we look like, what we drive, where we live, et cetera, et cetera, the material and this trip is all about the spiritual. It's all about Allah, it's all about His messenger, it's all about the stories, it's all about the sacrifices and most importantly to be able to come back with that in our lives and give greater importance to the spirituality versus the material world that we happen to be living in of which there's a lot of people put great importance in because that's the reality around us, the glamour of the dunya as the Qur'an calls it. And so Umrah is highly, highly spiritual. One of the things that was mentioned is before you go, call everyone. Make sure that you, especially family, especially people that we've had differences with and call them, ask for forgiveness, seek their forgiveness, seek their blessings, seek their du'az, and ultimately make amends with individuals because A, you may not come back, which would be the most awesome deal in the world, and B, when we come back, we want to come back clean. We want to come back clean, we want to come back rejuvenated, we want to come back with that spiritual energy, inshallah. Again I'll mention this really quickly for the people that might have again just joined at 11 o'clock. One of the most important things that was mentioned was the Nusuk app and USUK. Please make sure that you download it. You will need your visa, you will need your passport number. You will need your visa number in order for you to register for the actual app. I just say this as a matter of fact, I just got back a little over a week ago. You do not need a permit for an Umrah. You do need a permit to get inside the roda. I'll cover some logistics around that in a little while, but actually appointments are open for the entire month of January at this point for the brothers, which is really awesome because in December the appointments opened up like two days in advance, so I might have checked a hundred, two hundred times before we managed to get some appointments. It's actually open until February 4th, yes, the day you're arriving from what I understand or somewhere around there. So in any case, if you give it a day or two, it may actually, or a week or so, it may open up more. I would suggest this for Visby specifically for the group is if all of you can designate one time and a message goes out when you're making the booking, say let's all go at this time so everyone can go at the same time versus go individually, it'll make the time go by a little easier because there is a decent amount of waiting to be done, again, depending on what time and when you get there. They have, when you do the bookings, it shows green, orange, and red depending on the amount of people that are signing up, honestly, it makes no difference. You could get there an hour before your appointment, you're still going to get in, you can get there about a half an hour after, you're still going to get in, but they will check the day and they will check the time. And as per Visby mentioned, they will make sure that the app is actually flashing. So a screenshot is not going to work. Alhamdulillah. Okay. Umrah. What is umrah? Umrah is the lesser pilgrimage. It's the pilgrimage that the Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us to express our gratitude to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to ensure that we fulfill the right of the baytullah, the house of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It can be done 24 hours a day. It can be done 365 days a year. It's makruh within certain days of Hajj, but other than that, the umrah can be done year round at any given time. It is an act of ibadah. It is an act of worship, but at the same time, it's sometimes within the moment, we're so caught up with the logistics of doing everything that we may not feel the sacredness of that thawaf or the sa'i sinking in within that moment, but it's definitely entering into our hearts and into our souls because we are within an act of ibadah and worship. Before I get started with the slides and I will in a minute, many people will have moments of reflection at different moments within their journey. It may be earlier on in the journey, maybe halfway through your journey, maybe towards the tail end of your journey. It may actually even happen when you're on your flight back and you can't fall asleep on the plane. You're wide awake. You do and you're just reflecting and everyone has a reflection of some sort. Everyone has a reflection of some sort. I have to be honest, my greatest reflection last week was just surreal seeing the amount of people there struggling with money, struggling with time, struggling with all kinds of things in order to be able to get there. People are taking time off from work. People are making payments. There's all kinds of struggles that we make to get there. My greatest moment was that God is real, Allah is real, and Islam is real. There's no doubt about it. That's it. We live in a very atheistic society. People don't want to talk about God. If you talk about God, it's not awesome. It's a blue state. We're absorbing all of that. It may or may not make a difference, but at the end it's there. It's on your mind. It's in your heart. For me, it was just sitting in front of the Kaaba one fine night and just seeing the people make the law. I was just sitting there and the Kaaba being so majestic and so high and everyone in white is the most part in the Mataw that Allah is real, he exists, and Islam is real. And I'm just humbled and grateful to be a part of this group of individuals. And I pray to Allah that me and my progeny remain on this until the final day. And that if that means, Amin, and if that means that challenges are going to come my way or our way as a community, then there's no one greater than the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who faced challenges. The biggest question that many people have is, what du'as do I need to learn for Hajj and Umrah specifically? And the answer is none, none. The only one that is prescribed at one point or at two points during the Tawaf is ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقينا عذابنا. That's it. But as we're making the Tawaf specifically and as we're making the Sa'i to constantly be engaged in some form of ذكر is not a requirement, but it's crucial in order to make our Tawaf and our Sa'i meaningful. Otherwise you can literally be in face-timing while you're making Tawaf. And your Tawaf is still valid. It's just not going to get you the same amount of spirituality. So find some form of ذكر. A lot of times people ask me and say, what should I do? What should I do? You know, what should I get? I'll actually share the, no, if you can remind me and I'll actually remind myself, there's a set of small booklets called how to perform. We've, you know, you've seen this how to perform Hajj, how to perform Umrah and how to perform Ziyarah. These are three small booklets. I'll send you the PDF so you can share it with the group and people can download it to their phones. Um, pervez by mentioned, uh, reminded us a little while ago that when in Medina we should be making Salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, I'll come to this at the tail end, but set a goal for yourself. That every day while I'm there, I'm going to send a hundred salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, 500 salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. And after, or before every namaz, after before every prayer, pull out your prayer bead, whatever it is that you're using to count and send salutations on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. They can be any salutations, the salutations that we recite in Salah, Durud Ibrahim, or any other salawat for that matter. And if you can't, sallallahu alayhi wa salam in and of itself is salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. But there's a number of salawat compiled through the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. There's a book called Salat in Salam that I, you don't have to buy this. I generally recommend it for those people who want to have it. This is not just for your journey to Medina. This is even for here on Fridays and on Mubarak days. We pull it out and send salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. But the book that I use, that my book is completely coming apart at this point is Accepted Whispers. It's my absolutely favorite book of du'as. Almost every du'a of the Quran and the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam found in all the hadith traditions are compiled in this one book. The Arabic English transliteration for people who can't read Arabic fluently, the English translation as well. For those of you who may not be able to read Arabic, but at least go through the English, right? There isn't, as our teachers would remind us, there's not a thing in the world that we need in our lives, in this life, in the hereafter that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam hasn't already asked for. And so what better thing to find a place where we can find all of those things and just go through them, right? Read through them. You can use this during your tawaf, you can use this during your sa'i, you can use this on the plane, you can use this as you're sitting in front of the Ka'ba in the Haram, you can use this while you're sitting in Madinah and so on and so forth. Extremely powerful book, I would urge all of you to get a copy. Okay, moving on. What should you have? I know Parvizb, I covered a few things. You won't need any Haram from here, so don't take one, don't put it in your bag, you're all going to, for those of you that are going to Madinah first, sorry. You can get your Harams there, a seven bead tisbih just makes easier for you to count how many tawafs you've done. A small bag, I'm going to go through this really quickly. A small bag, just a PE bag. You all know what a PE bag is with shoulder straps. So you can throw your prayer rugs or your shoes or sandals inside there and just carry it on your back if it makes it easier. Slippers, brothers and sisters. Sisters, while we are in the state of Ihram, that's coming up in the next slide. While we are in the state of Ihram, sisters, you have absolutely no requirements whatsoever on what you have to wear. You can wear what you want. Anything, any color, no requirements at all. Brothers, we have certain requirements. Amongst those requirements is that we have footwear in which this top part of the foot is exposed. So flip-flop, flip-flop type of sandals that you will want to wear specifically during Ihram, get something just, something a little nice because you'll be wearing it for a few moments. A waist pouch for those of you that may want one to carry. When you are in Ihram, brothers, we don't have any pockets. So where do you store your phone? Where do you store your glasses when you're making Wulu? Where do you store your wallet? A pouch is a good place to have that. An Ihram belt, by the way, in terms of a belt for your Ihram, you can use any belt. The belt you're wearing right now that has a ton of stitching on it can be used for your Ihram as well. You don't have to buy specifically an Ihram belt. Some people do. That's fine. Medina is cold. You may have heard of this, but I mentioned this. Medina Mu'awara is cold. Take a decent jacket. Take a beanie. Take some socks because you will be utilizing those. Something someone recently taught me, if you have any extra sweaters or any extra jackets, throw them in your luggage, take them with you. Every morning, when you go to the Ihram, take one or two with you. Find someone who doesn't have a jacket. Find someone who has a chowder on them, just a sheet on them and doesn't have a jacket. Give it to them. So just something someone taught me very recently. If you wear glasses, extra prescription glasses, medications, yada, yada, yada. Sisters, you want to take a scissor. There's no barbers for sisters. You will have to be cutting each other's hair upon the completion of your umrah. So make sure you carry scissors with you. Again, if you have a Quran that you normally use, please make sure that you carry that with you. A little distorted there, sharpie. Who uses notebooks these days? No one uses notebooks. The note section in your phone is what everyone uses. These are just things that'll make your life a little easier and make you cool if you have it. A portable weighing scale in case you plan to do shopping and bring stuff back and make sure that your cell phones are working when you're there. OK, moving on. Before you go on any journey, pray to Raqaz and make dua. This is not just journey of umrah or journey of Hajj. You're getting on a journey to drive to LA. You're getting on a journey to go to Chicago. You're getting on a journey to fly abroad. Wherever it is, any journey that you go on, pray to Raqaz. By the way, we'll share these slides with you, so you don't have to take pictures. Also, give some salafah. The way to make your journey easy is just by being generous on your journey. Just give salafah. Salafah awards off difficulty. Salafah awards off evil. If there's something to come in your path, you've given salafah a little, take care of you, things will open up. So learn to give salafah. Learn to be generous. Don't always be looking to save money, as some people do. There's some people who like to bargain. Now, again, I'm not going to tell you what to do. But a few years ago, I was an umrah with my father, and he said, bittah, from here onwards, don't ever bargain in Makkah and Medina. I've never bargained from that day onwards. Now, that could be very difficult because Saudi markets are like Pakistan markets. So if this is 50 riyals, they're going to tell you 100. So you have to have the heart at that point. But that's your personal decision. You're supporting. I'm not saying don't bargain, but don't always be looking for a deal. You're helping out a Muslim economy. You're helping out a Muslim. A few extra dollars. If your entire journey, you spend a few extra dollars, $50, $100 extra, it's not going to be the end of the world for you. But it could mean so much for the person that you are there with. So in any case, I need to move on. OK, Makkah or Medina, most of the group, this case is going to Medina first. Medina first, no requirements. You'll be flying into Medina the moment you board. From here, as you board your plane, salawat on the Nabis As-Salam. Be ready for that journey, spiritual preparation for that journey. To meet the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wasalam, there's so much I can say. But I won't. But we are meeting the best creation of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, khayru khalqillah. We are meeting the Sayyid, Sayyid al-Ambiya, the Nabi Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wasalam. And when we get there and when we give him our salam, he will return his salam back to us, inshallah. And so we want this moment to be special, which we also want that from here onwards, from today onwards, in preparation for this journey, start fulfilling all the sunnahs of the Nabis As-Salam. You can't claim to love the Prophet and not fulfill his sunnah. You can't claim to love the Prophet, alayhi wasalam, and say it's just a sunnah. You can't claim to love the Prophet and say, I'm going to change when I get there. It doesn't work that way. We have to make that intention and action before we get there. For Makkah Mukarramah, for anyone that may be going to Makkah first, you have to be in the state of Ihram prior to your arrival at Jiddah airport. So make sure that you're putting on your Ihram at the airport before whichever airport it is prior to flying into Jiddah, putting on an Ihram on the airplane is not a good choice. If you are going to Makkah first, make sure that your Ihram is in your handbag and not in your checked in luggage because you'll need it to put on the Ihram. Yeah, and you have to be in this, yes, you have to be in the state of Ihram prior to your arrival at Jiddah airport. You can't say I'm going to get to Jiddah and then put on my Ihram. You cannot say that I'm going to get to Makkah and then go to Majid Aisha and then put on my Ihram and come back. It doesn't work that way. You have to be in the state of Ihram prior to your arrival at Jiddah airport for those individuals who have intention to go to Makkah upon their arrival at Jiddah airport. So please do not forget that. Okay, I'll skip this slide. The Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has designated certain areas. These are known as Miqat that prior to your entering into these areas you have to be in the state of Ihram. For those of you, for those of us that are going from Medina who are arriving into Medina first and then going Dhul-Hulayfa which is the first one, Bir Ali, happens to be the Miqat. Now, historically people would get in their taxis or buses, go to Biara Ali, there's a big Masjid there, they would take a shower, put on their Ihram, pray their two Rak'as, make the intention, sail a bake and then continue their journey to Makkah. Doesn't happen like that anymore. You're in a bus, you're on a train, right? So you put on your Ihram in your hotels in Medina you pray your two Rak'as in the Haram or in your hotel and if you want you can go ahead and make the intention and sail a bake and then get in the taxi, get in the bus and it just carries on and at some point you enter into the Haram boundary from there onwards. Now, please stop me in case you remember anything, please remind me, yeah, please. Okay, brothers, simply by wearing two pieces of white cloth, nothing happens. I could wear two pieces of white cloth and walk around in Pleasanton, people will just think I'm an angel, I'm an embodiment of Jesus and nothing really happens, okay? I'm just, when you put on the Ihram and you make the intention and sail a bake, then you have entered into the state of Ihram. I say this because you could potentially put on your Ihram clothing or sisters, you can just be in your regular clothes at Istanbul Airport, but you don't necessarily enter into Ihram until you make the intention and you may wait for two hours before you actually make the intention. Makes sense to you, right? Because you don't want the restrictions of Ihram to come onto you, right? And the restrictions of Ihram are no scent, no perfume after using the bathroom, being mindful that you don't use the soap, the scented soap, right? The most common mistake that people make, you can't trim your nails, you can't cut your hair and so on and so forth. The state of Ihram, the state of Ihram is a state of a faqir, is the state of a beggar in front of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So it's that you're coming in and extremely humbled in a humble state and humble clothing as a beggar would, right? Begging, seeking, beseeching, supplicating to the master subhanahu wa ta'ala. That's what Ihram is about. And so keep that in mind. So again, you know, wherever you're putting on your Ihram, sisters, again, your regular clothes, whatever it is that you wear, it just becomes your Ihram as you say that pray to, the two rak'as that you pray upon putting on the Ihram is a sunnah, it's not a requirement, right? You make the intention. The intention is not some dua in Arabic specifically, it's just an intention. O Allah, I intend to perform this umrah, please make it easy for me and accept it from me. And then saying labbaik, at that moment you have entered into the state of Ihram and all the restrictions of Ihram are now binding upon you. Questions at the end, please write them down. And then again, the Talbiyah can, you know, generally historically the Talbiyah was, the scholars would remind us was never done in a group fashion, but if people do so, that's fine. But keep the Talbiyah on your tongue. Basically you're saying labbaik, I'm here O Allah, I'm here, I'm present O Allah, I'm present, right? I'm coming to you O Allah, I'm coming to your sacred house to perform this sacred ibadah O Allah, that's what we've been taught by the Nabi Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So that's entering into the state of Ihram and making, saying the Talbiyah. Yeah, again, I'm gonna make this really quick. You know, brothers, it's two sheets, by the way, two sheets of white cloth, no undergarments, so no underwear, no t-shirts, it's just two sheets of white cloth. Sisters, once again, you can wear what you want, any color, whatever you want, okay? Two sheets of white cloth, fold one over, fold it over, you put a belt, and then you just put the top on. It's as simple as that, okay? Very, very easy, very, very simple. If you happen to be on the heavier side and you choose to stitch through your bottom piece of your Ihram, it's actually makrooh but allowed, right? So just for the record, right? Because if your Ihram opens up and your aura gets revealed and aura is not just your immediate private parts, anything above your knees, right, is your aura. If you fear that that may get exposed, that is haram. And so if you choose to stitch through the bottom half, it's makrooh, but it's a lot. And I did say using any belt is permissible. I know that many of you are going to Medina first, but in this presentation, I've covered Medina at the very end, and so that's how we'll do it. We'll just go through this really, really quick. You'll get to your hotels, you'll check in, you'll eventually make your way to the mataf, to the Ka'bah to make your Umrah. The Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says that when you see the Ka'bah for the first time, whatever dua you make is an accepted dua Imam Abu Hanifa, Rahmatullahi Alaihi says that when you see the Ka'bah for the first time, your dua should be, oh Allah, whatever supplication, whatever dua I make after this dua accepted from me, whether it's the first time in your life and it may be the first time in your life for many and whether it's the first time in any particular journey. Again, one of the adab of seeing the Ka'bah for the first time is trying to see it in its entirety. It can be very difficult with the challenges of trying to walk in and so on and so forth, but if you are going with a group, it is kind of manageable because you'll have someone in front of you and then just tell everyone to kind of, hey guys, just keep your gaze down and then eventually get to a point where you'll be able to see the entire Ka'bah, may step to a side, be able to see it. When you see the Ka'bah, you say Allahu Akbar, right? We praise Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Mention the greatness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Say Allahu Akbar and then in that moment you make dua, you make dua. Raise your hands and make dua. It should be a heartfelt dua. Take your time in making that dua. It is a moment in which it's a moment that just cannot be described in words to say the least, but know that in your journey, there's a few places where your du'as are accepted. All your du'as are accepted, guaranteed. Guaranteed. The first side of the Ka'bah is one of them. Sha'a, but you have to have Yaqeen? You have to have conviction in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Okay, your tawaf begins at the black stone. I'm gonna kind of use this corner of this table, assuming that this is kind of sort of the black stone. Black stones in the Ka'bah, there's green lights on the wall that'll indicate where the black stone is. As you walk further across, you have the door of the Ka'bah. In front of it, you have the Maqam Ibrahim. So your tawaf sort of begins at the black stone. And then as you walk around, you have the half-enclosed circle that is known as the Hateem. The Hateem for many years was actually closed. People couldn't get in, but the Hateem does open up a few times a day for people to be able to get in these days. I wasn't even trying one day after Fajr, I just happened to get in somehow. And be a little patient, don't be in a real hurry. Okay, there's a lot of rush. But I was able to get inside the Hateem. If you're, the area inside the Hateem, the semi-circular wall is considered to be a portion of the Ka'bah, which means that if you get inside the Hateem, it says if you're inside the Ka'bah, and if you're inside the Ka'bah, whatever dua you make is an accepted dua. Now, if you can't get inside the Hateem, you don't have to push, you don't have to regret, you don't have to fight, you're in the Ka'bah. It's all sacred, not just the Masjid. The city is sacred. So you could be in your hotels, while you're in your hotels, don't be wasting your time on your TikTok videos, right? You could be in your hotels, use that as a timer. It's not just the Haram, the Masjid that is sacred. You're within the sacred precinct. It's all sacred, right? So keep that, that should be our perspective as well. Okay, beginning the Umrah. Beginning the Umrah, you come around to the black stone. The brothers, there's two things that we have to do in our Tawaf. The first one is we have to expose our right shoulder when we're making all seven circuits and only seven circuits. So if you have your Ahram around you like this, you simply let it down and you pull it through underneath your right armpit so your right shoulder gets exposed. That will happen for all seven circuits. And then we're supposed to walk like a brave warrior in the first three circuits. Any Tawaf, which is followed by Asa'i from Safa to Marwa, you walk like a brave warrior in the first three circuits. Can be a little tough with the amount of people there, but inshallah, somehow manageable to the best of your ability. You'll have scholars with you so they'll guide you inshallah. You get to the black stone. You stand in line with the black stone anywhere, anywhere inside the Haram. It could be on the first floor, second floor, roof, wherever it is. Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. That's how you begin. So when you begin your Salah, you say Allahu Akbar. In the case of Tawaf, you say, Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. Then you have to kiss the black stone. You kiss the black stone at the beginning of every circuit and at the end of the last. So total of eight times. Best way to kiss the black stone, istilam is the Arabic word, palms facing out. Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. Kiss and you begin your Tawaf. So two things to begin your Tawaf. Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. And kiss. Now you begin your Tawaf. As you begin your Tawaf, the sunnah of the Nabi A.S. is that from the black stone all the way until you pass the door of the Ka'bah, you say, You say, You say, You say, You say, From there onwards all the way around, you can say what you want. Recite any dua, recite Quran, dua in Arabic, dua in English, dua in your own language, dua for dunya, dua for Akhirah. The last thing you should be doing is doing selfies, pictures, face timing, et cetera. You're in Ibadah, you're in worship. Put that into perspective. As you come around, the corner which is right before the black stone is known as Rukun Yamani. The sunnah of the Prophet A.S. if he was close to the Ka'bah, he would touch it with both hands or with his right hand only. That's not possible with the amount of people. You'll be far away. Don't do anything. You'll see some people waving at it. Don't wave. There's no waving. You simply walk by. Unless you're touching it, you're not doing anything. You're simply walking by. But from the Rukun Yamani, all the way back to the black stone, it's sunnah to say, Rabbana, atina fid dunya hasana, wa fil akhirati hasana, wa tina aza banna. All the way from Rukun Yamani, all the way to the black stone. You come to the black stone, you face the black stone, you have to kiss the black stone. You kiss the black stone, arms facing out, Bismillah, Allah, Akbar, kiss. Circuit number one done. And then, Rabbana, atina fid dunya hasana, wa fil akhirati hasana, wa tina aza banna. All the way to the door of the Ka'bah. And then from there onwards, any dhikr that you wanna make, all the way until Rukun Yamani. When you get to Rukun Yamani, you won't do anything because you're not close to the Ka'bah. Rabbana, atina fid dunya hasana, wa fil akhirati hasana, wa tina aza banna. All the way. Keep on reciting it as many times as you can until you get to the black stone. Second circuit done. Beginning of the third one. Bismillah, Allah, Akbar, kiss. Rabbana, atina fid dunya hasana, all the way until the door of the Ka'bah. And then, so you'll continue. Similarly, you'll finish seven circuits. At the end of the last, you stand again in line with the black stone. Bismillah, Allah, Akbar, kiss. Done. Seven circuits, done. Okay. Now, you need to go and make sa'i from Safa Tumarwa. But before you go and make sa'i, there's a few things that you need to do. You need to pray two rak'as. Two rak'as. The sunnah of the Prophet, was to pray those two rak'as behind Maqam Ibrahim. Immediately behind Maqam Ibrahim, you're causing yourself an inconvenience. You're causing an inconvenience to everyone that's making tawaf. Go back by about a hundred feet. There's enough room there. You can pray your two rak'as there. If you're going as a group, generally I like to recommend to not even go behind Maqam Ibrahim, just go for, keep on, keep going on your tawaf and kind of go a little further out on that end. It's a lot of room there. The group can come together and pray your two rak'as. Raise your hands and make dua'a. This entire journey is about dua'a. This entire journey is about asking Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. After that, the sunnah of the Prophet, was to drink Zamzam water. There's a very specific dua'a that is preferred to recite when we drink Zamzam. Allahumma inna nasaluqa ilman nafi'a wa l-izqal wasi'a wa shifa'am min kulli da'a. And then you will go, so you're done with that. You can breathe, you can relax, you can sit for a few minutes. There's no hurry. By the way, during the seven circuits, at any point, if you're tired and you want to sit down, you can sit down. During the seven circuits, let's just, I'm just saying this to put things in, if you're hungry, assume someone's hungry, like on their third circuit, all of a sudden, and has this ardent desire to get a shawarma and they left and ate and came back, the tawaf is still valid. You don't have to start over, just for the record. Okay, I just, no one does that, don't do that, but I'm just explaining that that's, so there's no specific rules per se around that. Wudu is a requirement for tawaf. If you break your wudu in your first, second, third, or fourth circuit, you have to start over from number one. If you break your wudu in the fifth, sixth, or seventh circuit, you make wudu, you come back and start from where you left off. Okay, majority versus, so if you break your wudu in circuit one, two, three, or four, make wudu, start over with number one. If you break your wudu in five, six, or seven, make wudu, come back and continue from where you left off. You prayed your two rak'as, you drank your zamzam, now you make your way to Safa'in Marwa. This is a nice walkway. Tawaf is generally easy. Safa'in Marwa is a long walk. So for those of you that may have issues with your legs or the bottom of your feet or heels or whatever it is, make sure that you, if you must wear footwear during the tawaf or during the sa'i, it's allowed. It's completely allowed. Just make sure out of adab to carry an extra clean pair of footwear with you that you only wear inside the haram and you don't wear it outside. Just out of the sanctity of the haram. The walk between Safa'in Marwa is a long one. So if you have issues with the bottom of your feet or your heels, it's going to be, you know, it can take a little toll on you. But all in the love of Allah, all in the worship of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala. I'd rather be able to make sa'i and get calluses on my feet than not and get no calluses on my feet as painful as they are, if you know what I'm saying. Right? And may Allah protect us all from all forms of diseases and difficulties and worries. I mean, Ya Rabb Al-Alami. Bervizbhai did say something earlier. It was all about perspective, right? Two people will travel on the same journey on the way there, on the way back. We'll go through everything together but we'll have two completely different experiences. And it's all about your attitude, as Bervizbhai said. It's all about perspective. If I have time, I'll share your story just from last week, but not yet. You get to Safa? There's really nothing to be done. Say, Bismillahi Allahu Akbar. If you know the verse, Inna Safa Wal Marwata Min Sha'a. You recite it. But other than that, there's nothing to be done. You begin your journey towards Marwa. There's an area closer to Safa with the green lights. Hajrah, radiallahu anha, jogged, ran, as she was searching for water. The sisters will not run jogged because you're in the presence of men so you simply keep walking. The brothers to the best of you. Some people sprint. Hajrah didn't sprint. Hajrah just kind of ran because it was a valley. And so as she was going into the valley, she just came in. And so you just kind of jog a little. As the green light area ends, you continue your walk towards Marwa. When you arrive at Marwa, every time from there onwards that you arrive at Marwa and Safa, Marwa and Safa, Marwa, it's a time to make dua. The Prophet, I said, Sam, made dua. Raise your hands for a brief minute. Ask Allah for something. The most powerful dua in the world, most powerful dua of the Quran is Rabbana aatina fidduniya hasana wa fi al-akhirati hasana wa qina aadha bannara. Allah grants us goodness in this life and the hereafter. Protect us from the fire of hell. If you don't have time to do anything, just recite that. You're asking Allah for all the goodness of this life, all the goodness of the hereafter and protection from the fire of hell. What more can we ask Allah for? It only takes a few seconds. Safa to Marwa is one. Marwa to Safa is two. Safa to Marwa is three. Marwa to Safa is four. Safa to Marwa is five. Marwa to Safa is six. And Safa to Marwa is seven. So each trip is considered one. It's not a round trip that's considered one, otherwise you'll be doing it 14 times. Yeah, so it's only one, two, three. At that point you're done. You need to come out of your ehram. The way to come out of your ehram is get a haircut. So brothers, the sunnah of the Nabi A.S. was to shave your head. So you'll find barbers everywhere. If you have the strength and the ability and you have no reason to not get your head shaved, get it shaved. The Prophet A.S. made dua for forgiveness three times for those people who had their head shaved, once for the one who had their hair trimmed. But the trim should be from the entire head and not just small portions here and there. I recently found out in some ethnic cultures that if you're not going for Hajj, like the first bald head that you should get should be at Hajj and should not be at Umrah. Yeah, it's very, culturally, we've got some really crazy things going on in our lives. And so I had a family that like, just did not want to get their head shaved at all. Right, they were like, no, we're saving our head shaved for Hajj. I said, okay, do what you got to do. Sisters, this is what Prophet A.S. was reminding me of it. Right, sisters, you're still in a haam. So the only way you can come out of a haam is get that haircut. Now, sisters, you just simply bunch your hair together and they say you wrap it around your finger and whatever it is, you just chop it off, cut it off. Right, about an inch. So you just kind of get it together and just. But you can't cut your own hair because you're in a haam. And don't ask another sister to do it for you because she may also be in a haam. You cannot do it, that's right. Yes. Hold on, hold on, hold on, I got an answer for you. Yeah, calm down. You know, there's usually this, at least one couple that's with you somewhere or your husband has done his tawaf and he got his haircut, he will cut his wife's haircut. And then the sister who already has her hair cut by her husband can open up a barber shop in her room. Yeah. It's okay to wait. By the way, that's the other thing. You don't have to get your hair cut immediately. Your haircut can happen after four or five hours. Let's assume you got your omarad done at four o'clock in the morning, fudger is at five. You don't have to go and get your hair cut immediately. You can wait until fudger, pray fudger, you can go have breakfast and then you're like, okay, now let me, but of course since you are in Ihram, no washing hands with soap, you know, things of that nature. So there's, you'll always find someone, another sister in the group or wherever, even if you're traveling alone, you'll find someone who say, hey, hello, you know, or you knock the door, knock the room next door and you tell them, hey, is there a sister here who's not in Ihram who can cut knob? You know, you'll figure it out. Don't worry, take a chill pill. It's okay. It's just not the end of the world. So that is doing the haircut. Thank you for the slides and moving on. Okay, awesome. I need to move on. Okay, so you're out of Ihram. What do you do in Makkah? By the way, in the Haram in Makkah, there's no tahiyyat al masjid. The tahiyya of the Haram is tawa. So you go in if you can. You don't have to put on an Ihram for that. You just, you're wearing your regular clothes. You walk inside the Haram in blue, of course. You get in line with the black stone. Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. Kiss, and seven circuits around the Ka'bah. Rabbana-atina till the door of the Ka'bah. Any dua all the way until Ruk'an-Yamani, from the Ruk'an-Yamani all the way to the black stone. Rabbana-atina fiddhunya hasana. Kiss the black stone. Seven circuits, pray to Rakhazi, you're done. If in the middle of those seven circuits, the adhan is called, you continue your tawaaf. In the middle of those seven circuits, prayer happens. You just stop, do your prayer and continue from there. There's no rules around it, you know what I'm saying? But you should try to make tawaaf, at least one set of tawaaf. One tawaaf is seven circuits. Try to do one tawaaf at least per day. Someone wants to do another umrah. You want to do another umrah. Then you put on your ihram or your ihram clothing in your hotel. This is the easiest way to do it, okay? Then you go downstairs, outside, and you find a taxi. The taxi, you tell them masjid-a'isha. You want to return trip from masjid-a'isha. You go to masjid-a'isha, you pray to Rakhazi. That's sunnah, not a requirement. And then, you make the intention for umrah. You sail a bake, you come back to the haram, and you make seven circuits around the ka'bah, sa'if seven times, haircut, and you've done your second umrah. Now, most common question I get is, can I make an umrah for a relative of mine, or tawaaf for a relative of mine who has passed away? Yes, you can. Can I make an umrah or tawaaf for someone who is alive? Yes, you can. Absolutely. Can I combine multiple people in one umrah or one tawaaf? Generally, you make one tawaaf for a person, one umrah for a person, but if you did not have the ability to perform multiple tawaafs or umrahs for whatever reason, and you combined a few people in your umrah, insha'Allah, they will all get the tawaaf of it as well, insha'Allah. That is the generosity of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. But generally, you do one per person. Recite as much Quran as you can. I was just with a young boy this morning at 10 o'clock, whose family planned it such that he finished his first tawaaf of the Quran in the haram. A few years ago, I was in the haram where a young man, in 2018, thanks to him in 2018, a young boy at the age of 17 at the time had his last lesson, his last sab'aq of memorizing the Quran in the maqal. So, all of you have one month. Start your Quran recitation now, so that when you get there either in Makkah or Medina, wherever and whenever it's convenient for you, you can make your khatam of the Quran and make dua'at to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So, again, this journey is about ibadah and worship. Okay, thank you Munir, thank you. Women, if you are menstruating, can you enter into the state of the haram? Yes, you can. The long and short of this entire mas'Allah and this stipulation is that you must enter ihram when you pass the miqat. That's a requirement. Purity is not a requirement for entering into ihram. The two rak'as that you pray before the ihram is a sunnah, is not a requirement. Okay, so you enter into ihram. You cannot enter the haram until you are pure to make your tawaf and your sa'i. So you have to wait until you're pure to make your tawaf and your sa'i. Assuming that all the days that you're going to be in Makkah, you're not going to become pure, what do you do? In the state of hayl, in the state of menstruation, on your period, you go inside the haram, you make seven circuits around the ka'aba, you go from safah to marwah, complete your umrah, get your hair cut and give the dumb of one goat. Not a large animal, a small animal. The large animal is a requirement in hajj that we're not there. So just keep that in mind. This is the long and short of the entire masalah and stipulation. Yeah, it's almost impossible. People going for 34 days, how do you manage? You know, it's difficult. Not everyone can get on pills. It's just, you know, and so that's why I said the long and short of all of this. Okay, ziyarah of the Nabi Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, in Madina, Manawara. Before you go, you do two things. For a moment, just sit in your hotel room, on the bus, wherever you are and contemplate. Where am I going? Who am I about to meet? Who am I gonna give salam to? And I could go on forever, but just salawat on the Nabi Ali s.a. As you're walking to the haram, give sadaqah. That's from the sunnah. Give sadaqah. The best people to give sadaqah to are the cleaners, you know, just people in the heart. Give some sadaqah. For salam, for the brothers, it can be done all throughout the day. You enter through babus salam. By the way, you don't enter straight into babus salam anymore. You have to go all the way out and about and around and into these fenced areas, and then you will enter babus salam. Just for the record, for those of you that have not been there in a few years. Babus salam, all the way through. You walk all the way till the end. You will come to the area where there's three grills, one metal, one, two, and three. The middle one is where the Nabi Ali s.a. Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu and Umar radiallahu anhu are. You give your, and the qiblah is behind you. So the Nabi Ali s.a. is resting here, facing the qiblah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu is one step behind him. Again facing the qiblah. And Umar radiallahu anhu is one step behind him, so when we are giving our salam, we first give our salam to the Nabi Muhammad s.a. Do it with your heart, do it with your mind present. Don't be rattling. At least the first time you go, don't be rattling off names of a phone. This is your personal salam to the Nabi s.a. Then to Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu, salamu alaika ya amir al mu'mineen. There's no specific words. O amir al mu'mineen, right? My salam to you, salamu alaika. And then same to Umar radiallahu anhu, and then you will walk away. The sisters do not have access to this area. The sisters will be in the back area. Generally, we have found our teachers telling us, reminding us that at the very least, without any difference of opinion whatsoever, that from inside the haram anywhere in Medina, you can give your salam to the Nabi s.a. So as Parvez Bhai was mentioning and reminding a few moments ago that reading off all your friends' names and the lists of people, from anywhere inside the haram, give your salam. Though for some people, there's a certain Sukun satisfaction in when they can't spend so much time on the inside to do it from the outside where they can see the green dome, right? Because there's a certain, we have a certain connection with the Nabi s.a. and the green autumn and dome. So standing there and you can give your salam from there as well. There's no harm in doing so. Women, your times are different than the men for going inside the rowda. Just again, very quick logistics. In the front of the mosque, and you're staying at the Pullman. So it's really convenient for you. So you'll just come straight from the Pullman and there's just lines. Everyone will line up. There's multiple lines. It makes no difference which line you get in. And then there's a askari. There's an officer who will come and check your phones to make sure your apps are flashing. They have to be flashing. And then you go inside and you get seated in one of six areas. This is all outside. So again, if you're going at night, if your appointments are night, it's gonna be chilly. So make sure you got your beanies and your jackets with you, your shawls or whatever it is, socks, whatever. You'll be seated outside in large areas. And then one by one, each group gets to go inside to give inside the rowda. And you actually don't, last year you would go in from Bab Abu Bakr which is in line with Babu Salam. They've changed it now. You're actually going from the back, Babu Nisa, you're entering inside and then you're walking towards the rowda. So you'll figure this out. They're very kind. Remember, it is in their best interest to facilitate this Umrah, this Salam, everything for you. Be nice to people. Give your Sadaqah, make dua. Allah will make that journey easy for you. Very simple. When you get inside the rowda, don't be in a real hurry. Just calm down. Just find some presence of heart and mind. And then find a space and make, I tell you one thing that has worked for me, can't say it worked for everyone. I did not, I didn't start my prayers immediately. I just stood because I was in Jannah at that point. And one of the things, one of the adab of getting inside the rowda, if you do, is making dua to Allah and say, Ya Allah, you have promised that once someone enters paradise, you don't kick anyone out. I've entered paradise. You can't kick me out from here. It's a dua. It's from the, you know, the Ulama mentioned this. And so I waited. I just stood and made dua. And then I, you know, daddy long legs, I started jumping over people as they were praying to find the empty spot. And before you know it, I was standing in the first row of the rowda, right next to the resting place of the Nabi Asasah. So a little bit of patience, a little bit of sadaqa, a little bit of kindness, gratitude, right? There's people who will sit there and complain about how the Saudis manage things. And then there's people who will sit there and say, Allah, I'm just grateful I'm here. Be the second. Okay, my time is up. So I'm going to move on. As-salatu wa s-salamu alaika ya Rasulallah. Very simple. Praying inside the Haram in Makkah. Your fourth prayers in Makkah should be inside the Haram. Each prayer is equivalent in Sawaab and reward to 100,000 prayers. Now, some people are thinking, does this mean that 100,000 prayers that I owe are made up? No, no, no, no. You get the Sawaab, inshaAllah. Ask Allah for ease. In the mosque of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, there's narrations of 1,000, 5,000 and 50,000. So your fourth Salawat should be inside the Haram. And that's all I'm going to say again, many of you will have your teachers with you and so on and so forth. The mazarat in the sightseeing, as we may call it, in Makkah, in Medina, Masjid Qubaat, first Masjid ever built in Islam, Masjid Qiblatain, where the Qiblah was changed, the battle, the site of the battle of Uhud. If you're going by yourself and you're not going with a group, read a little about it before you go. So that when you get there, you can feel the presence. You can feel, at least you know what happened. It's not just a place where you came to take pictures and check in to your social media sites and say, I'm here. You know what I'm saying? Like hashtag Masjid Qubaat, hashtag first Masjid in Islam, hashtag your brother is present, hashtag, you know, we're not there for hashtags, right? Like what was this really all about? And then of course, leaving Medina with some level of sorrow of separation. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make it easy for all of us. I'll take, do I have time for questions per raise by about five, seven minutes, inshallah? Okay. I just want to share one thing. When people these days in this modern land go for Umrah, they send out like a message, here's a Google Doc, send me your du'az so I can read. There's no tradition of that. Like if anyone would have thought of that, our pious predecessors, generations ago would have thought of that and would have left a notebook outside their Masjid, the biggest scholars and said, I'm going for Umrah, write down your du'az. No, that's not how it works. So if you're going to do that, don't. The adab is that the seeker should go to the one, I will go to Asif Bay, I'll call him, I'll send him a message and say Asif Bay, I know you're going for Umrah, make du'a for me. Then he puts my, but for Asif Bay to send out an email and say, no, Asif Bay can send out an email and say I'm going for Umrah, that's fine. Please forgive me, remember me, et cetera, et cetera. But Asif Bay is not going to send out a Google, I'm sorry, I'm putting you on the spot like this. Asif, and by the way, Parvez Bay talked about the first Hajj where he met Asif Bay. Actually, I was on that Hajj too, so that's where we all met, that's where we first got to know each other. But in any case, Asif Bay is not going to send out a link to a Google doc and say I'm going for Umrah, send me your du'az. That's not the way to do it. People ask you to make du'a, you write their name down, you definitely make du'a for them. Make du'a for yourselves, for the dunya, for the akhirah, for your children, for your progenies that you will never see. For everything, for your siha, for your health, for your wealth, just everything. Put it all together. And again, du'az from the hadith in accepted whispers will help you put together what kind of a du'a you should be making for yourself. What kind of a, sometimes we don't even know what to ask Allah for. Or we run out of things to ask Allah for. And so keeping that in mind. That's the end of what I have to say. I just want to share a story. Just a really quick story. I'm going to take your questions after this. Again, I was in Umrah last week and we checked into our hotel in Medina. And you know, some people opt for double rooms, triple rooms, quad, and things like that. So we had two groups of individuals, both had double rooms. But there were four beds in the room. Now there was not four people in the room, there's only two people in the room, but there was four beds in each room. That's how the hotels had it set up. It was more convenient for them to give us whatever rooms they had immediately available. And so when I gave the key to one group of two, I said, hey, there's four beds in your room. In case you want the two beds removed, just let me know. Perspective. They said, eh, ma'mtahir. I'm in Medina. Well, I'm going to complain about it. Let the beds stay. And guess what? If the beds are there, I have place to put my luggage in my clothes. Perspective. Another group of two enter into their room and I get a text message that says, this hotel is crappy. You've put us in dorms. Perspective. It's all about perspective. So I had a brother, a young man in Medina who lost his luggage. I spent four hours with him that morning. We went to the, we went to the Mosque together. We went to give our salam together. We prayed our Loha together. We went to the graveyard, Baqih together. We came back for breakfast. He didn't mention anything. I found the bag and I sent a text message on the group and I said, who's bag is this? And so the young man responded back and said, hey, that's my bag. So when I met him again, I said, hey man, like you lost your bag. You were with me for four hours in the morning. You didn't even mention it. He goes, you know, I just lost a bag. What's the big deal? Right, I just lost a bag. But I, like, how could I be thinking about my bag? Well, thank you. Well, I'm here. Right, I just, so I got a text message two days ago that from the hotel rooms that we checked out at, I'm sorry, I got stories. Last one, last one, last one, I know. Someone forgot their iPad. They didn't even care. They didn't even write to me and say, hey, I forgot my iPad. Is there any way to find it? They were just happy they got to go to McEnviden, I'll just buy another iPad, right? Perspectives, perspectives. Sorry, I'm done. I'm gonna try to keep my answers to a minimum. Questions, yes. Yes, yes, thank you, thank you, manier. Thank you for your time. I'll repeat the question, go ahead. What's the question? Okay, and the answer to your question, very simple. The question is, can I wear a face mask or not? Considering that if I wear a face mask, it's, you know, the face must be exposed. The first thing I wanna say is stop watching all those videos. They'll make you confused. Secondly, during pandemic, if you have a face mask, you do not have to give it them. You don't have to give any penalty. If you feel that you must wear a mask on your face, then so be it. Yes, second question. Yeah, don't worry about all that. First of all, there's no trick, there's no requirement to get close to the Kamba at any time. If you, who doesn't wanna get close to the Kamba? Just don't do it during your Tawaf. Because during your Tawaf, you're busy with your Tawaf. When you're, you have three, four days there. When you're done with your Tawaf, you're back in your regular clothes. You're showered, you're rested. Then one fine day, go close to the Kamba and touch the Kaba, make Dua. There's no harm that resolves you of all your problems of being in a Haram and so on and so forth. By the way, the best time to be in the Mataf area is between like eight and 10 in the morning, just for the record. Everyone's out at breakfast. Yes, question. No, no, it's just, I'm being logistic, logistic. Someone just told me this morning that I told them to make their Umrah at eight o'clock in the morning and they said it was very easy. We got done with the whole thing in an hour, right? So again, now it may not work for you. You may say, Mom, fire was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I can't help you, but I will tell you, perspective, perspective, perspective. Sadaqah, sadaqah, sadaqah. Allah opens the doors of His divine mercy through these things, yes, no problem. Yes, can you take your four-year-old child with you to Riyadh-ul-Jannah on your permit? Yes, you can. The lines are all outside in the front of the Haram. There's no gate. Good question. So when you are making your regular Tawaf outside of your Umrah, are you considered to be in the state of the Haram? No, you're not. You're not in the Haram. You're simply making Tawaf. So yes, you can touch the Ka'aba and so on and so forth. Yes. Yeah, by the way, getting inside the Ralda is a little tough in terms of the whole permitting, but they're kind of nice as well. Don't get me wrong. You know what I'm saying? It's in their best interest to get people through. No, no, I understand, but like, you know, there's people who have sometimes been without a permit and they're with a wheelchair or a child doesn't have a permit or an elderly person doesn't have a permit, they'll let you go through. Preparing your mind and heart for this journey, allowing yourself to realize where you're going and why you're going. And you're going to the sacred house of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala. We're going, as Muslims, we are going to the most sacred place on the face of this earth. And to be able to, you know, acknowledge that, to realize that, this is where I'm going. What do I need to do? I'm not, I can't start becoming a perfect, I don't, I'm not gonna, when I get into this world, I'm not gonna be able to do that. I'm not gonna be able to do that. I'm not gonna be able to do that. I'm not gonna be able to do that. I'm not gonna, when I get to Makkah, turn the switch on and get all my five prayers in all of a sudden. That needs to start now, right? Showing our desire to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala. When we go to Medina specifically, we'll, we're, the entire mosque of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is the, was about the size of the city of Medina. At any given time, anywhere inside the Haram, you're probably gonna be praying inside the house of a Sahabi. And you don't even know this. Now, if it was all marked, we would be fighting for it. So rightfully so is probably not marked. But again, you're probably praying inside the house of a Sahabi. Like, we're in the, like, planning happened here. Revelation happened here, right? The Nabi Aleyhisattva Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sat there, the Nabi Aleyhisattva Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam walked those streets. The Nabi Aleyhisattva Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had happy moments, sad moments in all, so that's the preparation in a nutshell. We have a sister in the back, go ahead. Love the question, most powerful question. Yes, we should make dua for the entire ummah as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did. Ya Allah, bring ease upon the entire ummah. And if you want to mention certain nationalities, groups specifically, then so be it. As far as making dua generally for people who have asked you to make dua, yes, absolutely. You know, ya Allah, whoever has asked me to make, the general, what we've learned from our teachers is they would say, ya Allah, whoever asked me, whoever wrote to me, whoever desired to ask me to make dua, that was not able to ask me. Or whoever it is that I should be making dua for because of what they owe me and I haven't been able to make dua for them, grant ease, or you know, fulfill their, so multiple categories of individual. One last, okay, two last questions and then I'll close because I know you have other things. Yes, korobani.harameen.com. Yeah, everything is enough for everything. I think that's the website, but the website is called harameen.com, h-a-r-a-m-a-i-n.com. There's a link to korobani there, the people that manage that entire website are people that I know, they're reliable, they're trustworthy, and they can take care of your dumb for you in Makkah. Dumb, by the way, two things, dumb must happen in Makkah. So you can't say I'm gonna have a goat sacrificed in America or India or wherever, okay? Dumb for, now just because you made a mistake doesn't necessarily mean you owe a goat, okay? So don't assume the worst. The goat, the penalty of a goat, the dumb of a goat, is of the highest caliber by making a massive mistake, right? Something like, you know, taking a shower and shampooing your entire head, okay? So simply washing your hands with soap, that's five reels, okay? You decided to comb your hair, five reels. You forgot and you took your, you're on your way to the haram and you're in your haram and you feel like you're smelling and you pull out your cologne and you're like, shh, you know what I'm saying? That's just five reels, that's five or seven reels. Yeah, so, okay, last question. Yeah, by the way, you know, some people are like, I have to stand there, turn around, poke my arm, like, I ain't got time for that. There's a lot of people. No, no, no, no, you could, okay, watch this, watch this. You could simply just do this, just middle that, even with one hand. Just turn a little, just middle that, well, and keep walking, you're good, that's all. Even that is valid, just for the record. So you don't have to like, formally turn around put both of your arms out, hands out, arms out. The Nabi, alaihi s-salam would make istilam with his stick. Yeah, that's also from the sunnah, of course we can't do that. But yeah, if you're just simply making thought, you're like, rabanatina fiduniyah hasana wa filah, khirdah hasana wa qinna aadha bannar, Bismillah, allahu akbar, rabanatina fiduniyah hasana wa filah, that's it, you just keep on going. Because you're in the mosque, you're generally barefoot. Yeah, but of course, if you choose to wear footwear, just make sure it's footwear for inside. Sisters, you have it easy. You could just simply buy thick socks, right? You could buy thick socks with like rubber bottoms and you're good to go. Brothers, wear the ones that have it a little difficult, specifically during umrah. Other than that, you could be wearing your socks and making thawaf as well, so no harm done. I will, yes, young lady. Yeah, or you can buy it from like Amazon or Etsy. Yeah, it's simple. Yeah, inshallah. I'm gonna stop there. I know that I've gone over my time, so I apologize. But Jazakumullah khayran, barakallahu fiqm. For all of you that are going, may Allah make your journey easy and blessed, inshallah. Please keep me and my family in your du'az, inshallah, and you will be in mine. Barakallahu fiqm, salam alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
