- The arrival at the Haram
Enter into the Haram through the right foot and read the dua. If you are unable to follow this, you are not following the proper manner of entering the world of Ihram.
- Perform Tawaf
Start from the point of black stone and say “Bismi Allah, Allahu akbar” If possible to kiss or touch her, if not, make a sign with her right hand. After following these step start the Tawaf around the Kaaba. The first three turns must be done in an accelerated way. If possible touch the corner Yemeni at each pass that is just before the black stone.
After the Tawaf:
- Cover the right shoulder
- Go to Maqam Ibrahim and recite the Qurani verse

After the completion of Tawaf, go to the Zamzam well and drink water as well as pour it on your head. According to our beloved prophet (PBUH) the Zamzam water is the most purified water that is helpful for removing disease.
- Al-Safa and Al Marwa
Raise your hands to make the desired invocations and repeat the dua for about three times. After that go to Al Marwa walking and making invocations.
Once you are in the hill of Al Marwa, where the head to the Kaaba easily sees then repeat the dua three times. Thus complete the seven rounds, this will represent the whole journey.
