It is the utmost wish of every Muslim to visit Makkah for mitigating their sins and to gain forgiveness from Allah. There are several things that one has to follow before performing the Umrah during Ramadan such as:

Consider Ramadan Umrah Packages

These packages have a lot of facilities provided to pilgrims along with a stay at a hotel. A lot of packages also include a tour of all historical places in Makkah as well. Visa validity and current passport must be present with pilgrims to avail the Ramadan Umrah packages.

Physical and Spiritual Readiness

            Pilgrims need to be strong enough while fasting while performing Umrah. In most cases, the pilgrims have to even walk in scorching heat and extremely humid conditions to execute the deed of Tawaf, which are the 7 circumambulations one has to perform. In such circumstances, a person needs to be fit enough to perform the deed while keeping fast and must be physically and mentally strong to tolerate hunger and thirst for the whole day.

Wearing Ihram and Abaya

            Muslims are obligated to wear specific clothes while performing Umrah. Wearing Ihram is compulsory for men and women are indebted to wear abaya. This is because Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) always wore Ihram before performing Umrah. While women are asked to wear an abaya in order to keep themselves covered and wear a scarf as well. This is the initial step that every Muslim has to perform.
