An Overview of ‘Umrah
As we all know, Hajj is performed in the month of Dhul Hijjah! The 12th month of the Hijri Calendar. Before performing the Hajj, most people also perform the ‘Umrah, or lesser Hajj. ‘Umrah can be performed any time of the year. Here is an overview of the different activities we do in ‘Umrah.
‘Umrah Overview
Step 1 – The Ihram!
Before performing ‘umrah or the hajj, a pilgrim must enter the state of ‘ihram‘. Here are two helpful coloring pages to help you understand what is ihram, how you enter Ihram, as well as what is permissible and what is not permissible during ihram. Enjoy!
Umrah Part 1 – Ihram
Do’s & Don’ts of Ihram
Step 2 – The Talbiyyah
After entering the state of Ihram, you should start reciting the Talbiyyah all the way till you reach the Ka’ba for Tawaf!
‘Umrah Part 2 – The Talbiyyah
Step 3 – The Tawaf
Once we reach the Ka’bah we perform the Tawaf which means going around the Ka’bah 7 times while praising Allah. Can you spot the difference between the two pictures?

Step #4 – Maqam Ibrahim (AS)
After performing the Tawaf, you need to pray 2 rakaats sunnah at the Maqam Ibrahim (AS) or the Station of Ibrahim (AS). Join the dots and complete the illustration of Maqam Ibrahim (AS).
‘Umrah Part 4 – Maqam Ibrahim (AS)
Step #5 – Sa’ee
We have almost completed ‘Umrah. The next step is to do the sa’ee (the quick walking) and running between the mountains of Safaa and Marwa! Can you find Umm Jamal & Abbu Jamal in the picture below?
‘Umrah Part 5 – Sa’ee
Step # 6 – Cut the Hair & Come Out of Ihram
The last step of ‘Umrah is to cut our hair and then we come out of the state of ihram. Color in this picture!
‘Umrah Part 6 – Cut Hair & Nails
The Hajj – An Overview
After ‘Umrah, Umm Jamal and Abbu Jamal begin their Hajj! Hajj begins on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah. Below is an overview of all the activities Muslims do on the Hajj.
Hajj Overview
8th Dhul Hijjah – Enter Ihram & Camp at Mina
On the first day of Hajj, we again enter Ihram and go to Mina where we will sleep in tents. But where is Umm Jamal’s tent? 🙂
Hajj Part 1 – Camp at Mina
9th Dhul Hijjah – Mount ‘Arafah & Muzdalifa
9th Dhul Hijjah is Yaum ul ‘Arafah, the GREATEST day of the entire year! On this day the people performing Hajj gather on the Mount of ‘Arafah. Afterwards they head to Muzdalifah!
Draw Umm Jamal & Abbu Jamal on Mount ‘Arafah and help them find the stones at Muzdalifa.

Jazak Allahu khair Sister Tamara… We’re still working on the steps for Hajj… Insha Allah more to come! 🙂
This is Amazing, InshaAllah I am going for Hajj with my 3 year old and wanted to make a journal for him, showing each step of our journey and the importance of it. I know at his age he won’t understand much, but this is the best way to keep him occupied, educated, entertained.
