Bacaan suroh al kafirun

Kafir, plural Kafirun or more commonly Kuffar , etymologically means denier of grace/gift, it is used in religious context to describe those who denied the gift of Islam.
The Quran for instance might use it to describe those who rejected the gifts of God:
"And Allah presents an example: a city which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allah. So Allah made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing" Surah Al-Nahl 112.
In modern usage the word expanded in meaning, it implies more than what it carries, For instance Ibn taymiyya "Sheik Al Islam " has a famous formation of words "Kafir Yustateb aw yuqtel" meaning Kafir he is guided/advised to repent, otherwise he is killed.
He uses it in Fatwahs regarding those who do not pray, fast, deny some doctrines, leave Islam etc ....
Kaffir is modern day usage and throughout history is a dehuminizing word , I will go so far to compare it to the N-Word in America, the latter originally meant Black as in black skin, then it developed to carry the negative aspect that Black people are less human just because they have black skin, Kuffar are less human just because they do not believe or , they believed and left the religion.
I was personally called Kaffir by people close to me, and to be honest it bothers me, they believe just because they inherited a faith they are my superiors, and I exist just to threaten it and corrupt them.
I am an ex-Muslim.

In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all creation, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, his family and all his Companions.
‎السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. I am writing this to inshallah shed some light on the fiqh of the witr prayer.
What is witr?
Witr is a confirmed Sunnah that is prayed after isha
Muslim (754) narrated from Abu Sa’id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Perform Witr before morning comes.”
Abu Dawud (1416) narrated that ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “O people of the Quran, pray Witr, for Allah is One and loves that which is odd-numbered.” (Classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud)
Is witr compulsory?
Witr prayer is a Sunnah muakkadah (a confirmed sunnah) and not compulsory according to the majority of scholars and the correct view because of the hadith -
Narrated by al-Bukhari (1891) and Muslim (11) from Talhah ibn ‘Ubayd-Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, what prayers has Allah enjoined on me?” He said: “The five prayers, unless you do anything voluntarily.” The version narrated by Muslim says: “Five prayers every day and night.” He said: “Do I have to do anything else?’ He said, “No, unless you do it voluntarily.”
Al-Nawawi said:
“This indicates that Witr prayer is not obligatory.”
Al-Hafiz said in al-Fath: “This indicates that no prayers during the day and night are obligatory apart from the five prayers; this is contrary to the view of those who say that Witr or the two Sunnah rak’ahs of Fajr are obligatory.”
What is the time for witr prayer? And what if I join maghrib and isha?
The witr prayer starts when a person has prayed ‘Isha, even if it is joined to Maghrib at the time of Maghrib, and and lasts until dawn begins , because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah has prescribed for you a prayer (by which He may increase your reward), which is Witr; Allah has enjoined it for you during the time between ‘Isha prayer until dawn begins.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 425; classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Sahih al-Tirmidhi)
When is the best time to pray witr?
It is best to delay it unless one fears he will not wake up at the end of the night.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever fears that he will not get up at the end of the night, let him pray Witr at the beginning of the night, but whoever thinks that he will be able to get up at the end of the night, let him pray Witr at the end of the night, for prayer at the end of the night is witnessed (by the angels) and that is better.” (Narrated by Muslim, 755)
How many rakaat in witr?
The minimum number of rak’ahs for Witr is one rak’ah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Witr is one rak'ah at the end of the night.” (Narrated by Muslim, 752)
But it can also be prayed in 3,5,7 and 9
The main issue - praying witr resembling maghrib
This is impermissible as the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said “Do not pray Witr with three rak`ahs like Maghrib .” (Narrated by al-Hakim, 1/403; al-Bayhaqi, 3/31; al-Daraqutni, p. 172) Al-Hafiz ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari (4/301): “Its isnad fulfils the conditions of the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim).”
It should be noted however that this is the way it is prayed in the hanafi school of thought and so is an opinion of a respectable school of thought even if we say that it is not the correct opinion.
Praying witr with 3 rakaats -
Therefore witr should be prayed in either of the two ways below
1 – To pray them one after another, with one tashahhud, because of the hadith of ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used not to say the tasleem in the (first) two rak’ahs of Witr. According to another version: “He used to pray Witr with three rak'ahs and he did not sit except in the last of them.” (Narrated by al-Nasai, 3/234; al-Bayhaqi, 3/31. al-Nawawi said in al-Majmu’ (4/7): it was narrated by al-Nasai with a hasan isnad, and by al-Bayhaqi with a sahih isnad.)
2 – Saying the tasleem after two rak'ahs, then praying one rak’ah on its own, because of the report narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), that he used to separate the two rak'ahs from the single rak'ah with a tasleem, and he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to do that. (Narrated by Ibn Hibban (2435); Ibn Hajar said in al-Fath (2/482): its isnad is qawi (strong).)
https://youtu.be/05qZ0HwQr4A?feature=shared - this video explains how to pray it and has other good information.
What if the imam prays witr like maghrib during taraweeh as in most masjids?
There is nothing wrong with praying behind them, even if they pray in this because what they are doing is following an imam. Therefore the imam should be followed exactly
The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Whoever prays with the imam until he finishes, Allaah will record for him as if he spent the whole night in prayer” were narrated by al-Tirmidhi (806) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
Therefore one should pray witr with the imam during taraweeh to get the full reward however should not repeat the witr if he chooses to pray again due to the hadith -: “There cannot be no two Witrs in one night .” Abu Dawud (1439) And others classed sahih by al-bani. This is permissible as the prophet sometimes prayed after witr.
One may ask - does dua qunoot not make the witr different?
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not pray Witr with three rak’ahs that resemble Maghrib.” What he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) meant, as the scholars have explained, was that we should not sit to recite the first Tashahhud in a manner that resembles Maghrib. See Fath al-Baari by Ibn Hajar, 4/301. al-Haafiz said: Its isnaad is saheeh according to the conditions of al-Bukhaari and Muslim. Raising the hands for Takbeer before reciting Du’aa’ al-Qunoot makes no difference in fact, because there are four places in which the hands should be raised during prayer:
1 – When saying Takbeer al-ihraam (takbeer for starting the prayer) 2 – When bowing in rukoo’ 3 – When standing up from rukoo’ 4 – When standing up after the first tashahhud It is not prescribed for the worshipper to raise his hands at any point other than these four.
Fataawa Arkaan al-Islam by Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him), p. 312
How to offer witr prayer with 5 or 7 rak`ahs
If he prays Witr with five or seven rak’ahs, then they should be continuous, and he should only recite one tashahhud in the last of them and say the tasleem, because of the report narrated by ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray thirteen rak’ahs at night, praying five rak’ahs of Witr, in which he would not sit except in the last rak’ah. (Narrated by Muslim, 737)
And it was narrated that Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray Witr with five or seven (rak’ahs) and he did not separate between them with any salam or words. (Narrated by Ahmad, 6/290; al-Nasai, 1714. al-Nawawi said: Its isnad is jayyid. Al-Fath al-Rabbani, 2/297. and it was classed as sahih by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Nasai.)
How to offer witr prayer with 9 rak`ahs
If he prays Witr with nine rak’ahs, then they should be continuous and he should sit to recite the tashahhud in the eighth rak'ah, then stand up and not say the tasleem, then he should recite the tashahhud in the ninth rak’ah and then say the tasleem.
It was narrated in Muslim (746) from ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray nine rak’ahs in which he did not sit except in the eighth, when he would remember Allah, praise Him and call upon Him, then he would get up and not say the tasleem, and he would stand up and pray the ninth (rak’ah), then he would sit and remember Allah and praise Him and call upon Him, then he would say a tasleem that we could hear.
How to offer witr prayer with 11 rak`ahs
If he prayed Witr with eleven rak’ahs, he would say the tasleem after each two rak’ahs, then pray one rak’ah at the end.
What surahs are sunnah to recite in witr?
In the first rak’ah one should recite Sabbih isma rabbika al-‘a’la (“Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High” – Surah al-A’la 87). In the second one should recite Surah al-Kafirun (109), and in the third Surah al-Ikhlas (112).
Al-Nasai (1729) narrated that Ubayy ibn Ka’b said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite in Witr Sabbih isma rabbika al-‘a’la (“Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High” – Surah al-A’la 87), Qul ya ayyuha’l-kafirun (“Say: O disbelievers…” – Surah al-Kafirun 109) and Qul Huwa Allahu ahad (“Say: He is Allah, the One” – Surah al-Ikhlas 112). Classed as sahih by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Nasai.
Qunoot
It should be noted that there are many differences of opinion in regards to the fiqh of qunoot so i will inshallah keep it brief
What to recite -
There are many duas this is the most famous - https://www.duasrevival.com/basics/way-of-life/dua-e-qunoot-2
When to recite -
Du'a al-Qunut is recited in the last rak’ah of Witr prayer, after bowing, but if one recites it before bowing it doesn’t matter. But reciting it after bowing is better. (Difference if opinion, this is most authentic as said by ibn taymiyyah)
Others issues with qunoot -

Qunoot is not obligatory - it was narrated that when Ubayy ibn Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) led the Companions in prayer in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he used to omit Qunut some nights;
It is permissible to recite any dua however the ones narrated by the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are best
If qunoot is made before ruku then there is no authentic proof to show that making takbir was done
The ones behind the imām listen to his words and say ameen to his supplications, and they do not supplicate themselves. The one who prays alone makes Qunoot but he does not say ameen.

What to say after salam in witr?
And after he said the tasleem he would say Subhaan al-Malik al-Quddoos (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy)”, three times, raising his voice the third time. Narrated by Abu Dawood at-Tayaalisi in al-Musnad (1/441)and many more. It was classed as saheeh by more than one of the hadith scholars including al bani
What to do if you miss witr?
If a person misses Witr, it is prescribed for him to pray what he usually prays during the day, but he should make it even-numbered by adding one Rakah. If he usually prays three, he should make it four, and if he usually prays five, he should make it six, and so on, saying the Taslim after each two Rakahs.
It is narrated by Muslim that Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: If the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) missed Witr at night because he was sick or sleeping, he would pray twelve Rakahs during the day. And he usually prayed eleven Rakahs, but if sickness or sleep kept him from doing that, he would pray twelve Rakahs as Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, saying the Taslim after each two Rakahs, as Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray ten Rakahs at night, saying the Taslim after each two Rak`ahs, and praying Witr with one.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim).
Should I pray witr when travelling?
Yes - Al-Bukhari (1000) and Muslim (700) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was on a journey, atop his mount, whichever direction it was facing, gesturing the motions of the night prayer , except the obligatory prayer, and he prayed Witr atop his mount.”
Sorry for the long answer I hope you found it useful. Whatever is good is from Allah while anything wrong is from myself and Satan

Bu durumda mirasın 2/3'ü kızlarına , ana ve babanın her birine 1/6, eşine ise 1/8 pay kalacak.

Beni Kureyza, müslümanların iddiasına göre Hendek savaşı sırasındaki müslümanlara hem de daha önce akdedilmiş ve müslümanların saflarında savaşmayı gerekli kılan kuvvetli bir antlaşma varken, sırt çevirmişler ve aleyhlerine dönmüşler. Böylece Medineyi kuşatmış olan Kureyş müttefiklerinin ordusuyla birlikte fiilen savaşa katılmış oldular. Müslümanlar Hendek Savaşını bitirir bitirmez Kureyzaoğullarını kuşatma altına aldılar. 15 veya 25 gün kaleleri yıkılmaya devam edildi. Kesin olarak yenileceklerini anlayınca Yahudilikten müslümanlığa geçmiş olan Sa'd B Muaz'ın vereceği karara razı olarak teslim olacaklarını söylediler. Sa'd B Muaz ise onlar hakkında Tevrat'ın gereği olan şu kararı verdi; "Savaşır durumdaki erkekler öldürülecek, kadın ve çocuklar esir alınacak. Malları müslümanlar arasında savaş ganimeti olarak paylaşılacak." Bu hüküm uygulamaya konuldu ve buna dayanılarak öldürüldüler.
Fakat yahudiler tabii ki böyle düşünmüyorlar onların hikayesi de benzer fakat çok daha kanlı ve acımasızca... Onlara göre ise Muhammed gereksiz saldırmıştı. Bu kısmı çok da önemi değil aslında. Fakat hikayenin devamı korkunç.
Kalelerini kuşatan Muhammed hiç acele etmedi. 1 aya yakın süre ablukaya aldığı kaleye giriş çıkışı engelledi. Beni kureyzalılar açlık ve susuzluk ile de mücadele ediyorlardı. Hayber kalesinde Muhammed önderliğindeki Müslümanların ablukası nedeni ile açlık ve susuzluk ile mücadele eden Beni kureyzalılar, Muhammed ile anlaşma yoluna gitmek zorunda idiler. Muhammed onlara bir anlaşma sundu. Derhal silahlarını bırakıp teslim olacaklardı ve Muhammed'in eski Yahudi yeni Müslüman olan sahabelerinden Sa'd bin Muaz'ın vereceği cezayı kabul edeceklerdi. Çaresizlik içindeki Yahudi beni kureyza'lılar istemeden de olsa teklifi kabul ettiler savaşmadan silahlarını teslim ettiler.
Sahih hadislerde anlatılanlara göre kaledeki çaresiz Yahudilerin eli silah tutabilenlerden 400-900 arasında bir erkek topluluğu öldürüldü. 400-900 arası olduğu söylenilen Yahudilerin büyük çoğunluğu Hz. Ali tarafından katledilmişti. Ali o gün kafa kesmekten çok yorulmuştu ve kafa kesme işlemi sırasında yorgunluktan sürekli olarak kılıç kullandığı kolunu değiştiriyordu. Muhammed ise kesim işleminin yanına çadır kurdurmuştu ve kesim işlemini gözlemliyordu.Katledilen Yahudi erkekleri topluca gömüldüler. Tüm silah tutabilen erkekleri öldürülen yahudilerin artık zenginlikleri müslümanlarındı. Katliamdan sonra, Dıhyetü'l-Kelbı adındaki delikanlı Arap, Muhammed'e gelir; tutsak kadınlardan birini kendisine alması için ondan izin ister. Muhammed de : "Haydi git de bir câriye al!" diye karşılık verir. Ne var ki Dıhye gidip Safiyye'yi alır. Bunu gören bir başka Arap hemen koşup Muhammed'e haber verir. Safiyye'nin Dıhye'ye değil; "Peygamber"e uygun olacagını söyler. Muhammed'de Dıhye'yi çağırtır; "başka bir cariyeyi" almasını söyler. Dıhye'ye verilen "cariye", Safiyye'nin kocasının kızkardeşidir. Muhammed, kendisine "karı" olmanın karşılığında Safiyye'yi "azâd" eder. Ümmü Süleym, Safiyye'yi hazırlar. Ve gece olunca da Muhammed'in koynuna koyar. Babası ve kocası öldürülen bir kadını aynı gün (veya 1 gün sonra) , hemde babasını ve kocasını öldürenlerin liderine eş olur ve gerdeğe girer. Safiyye o sırada daha genç bir kız iken muhammed 57 yaşında idi.

I put together the below simple guide to Ummrah about 4-5 years ago and it’s been used by a lot of family, friends and friends of friends since Alhamdulillah. I was asked to upload it to this thread so inshallah others might benefit from it. I couldn’t upload it as a word doc so I just copied and pasted all the content here. I AM NOT a scholar- this is just a compilation of the basics to help guide us through each step!
May Allah accept.

Background: Umrah consists of four essential practices. Firstly, you get changed into the Ihram garments before the Miqat, perform two Rakahs of Salah and make your Niyyah as the Miqat approaches, thereafter reciting the Talbiyah frequently. Secondly, you perform Tawaf al-Umrah of the Kaaba followed by two Rakahs of Salah, preferably near Maqam Ibrahim. Thirdly, you do Sa’i of Safa and Marwah. Lastly, you shave (Halq) or shorten (Taqsir) your hair allowing you to leave the state of Ihram and complete your Umrah. ——————————————————————-
Before getting into changed into the Ihram garments, take care of your personal hygiene by clipping your nails and removing the hair under your armpits and beneath the navel. You should then do Ghusl, a highly emphasised Sunnah for those intending to enter into a state of Ihram. If you can’t perform Ghusl, doing Wudhu will suffice.
You will then get changed into your Ihram garments which for men consists of two, normally white, clean seamless pieces of cloth. The sheet which wraps around the waist covering the lower body is known as the Izar and the sheet that is draped over the upper body like a shawl is known as the Rida. Sandals shouldn’t cover the heel and ankle. For women you just wear modest full coverage clothing (I.e Abayah).
While in Ihram you’re not allowed to put on any scented deodorants or creams or perfumes. You may not cut your hair or trim your nails. You may not use scented soaps. Be sure to read all requirements of Ihram so you don’t accidentally break it.
It’s Sunnah to perform two Rakahs of Salah before entering into the state of Ihram. Observe the prayer with the intention of performing two Rakahs Nafl for Ihram. It is recommended to recite Surah al-Kafirun (Surah 109) in the first Rakah and Surah al-Ikhlas (Surah 112) in the second, although other Surahs may be read. Don’t forget to make Duaa after this Salah.
You may delay making your intention until the Miqat approaches. Just before crossing, remove any articles of clothing that you may still be wearing that violate the conditions of Ihram (for men) such as socks, headwear and underwear.
The Niyyah for Umrah should be made at the Miqat or close to it as you move in its direction. Ideally, you should delay making the intention until the last moment so you aren’t restricted by its prohibitions for longer than need be. It is recommended (Mustahabb) that you make the intention verbally, as well as reiterating it internally.
Following are three examples of intentions that may be uttered in Arabic:
لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ بعُمْرَةً اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أُرِيْدُ الْعُمْرَةَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أُرِيْدُ الْعُمْرَةَ فَيَسِّرْهَا لِيْ وَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّيْ
After making your Niyyah, you must recite the Talbiyah to validate your intention and enter into the state of Ihram. The utterance of the Talbiyah is Wajib according to the Hanafi and Maliki schools of thought. The Shafi’i and Hanbali schools consider it a Sunnah.
لَبَّيْكَ اللهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ – لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ – إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ – لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ
———————————-
IN MAKKAH:
As you reach the limits of the Haram, constantly recite the Talbiyah, do Dhikr and send Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ. Recital of the following Dua is recommended upon entering the Haram:
بِسْمِ اللهِ، اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ. اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِك
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ، وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ، مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
If you don’t have the intention of performing Tawaf immediately, you may perform Tahiyatul Masjid.
After entering the mosque, keep your gaze lowered until you reach the Mataf area, which is the open space where Tawaf takes place. When you’re ready, with humility, awe and reverence, lift your gaze to set sight on the beatific vision of the Holy Kaaba.
When seeing the Kabbah for the first time:
Recite the following:
اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ. اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ . لَآ اِلَهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ اَللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْرِيفاً وَتَعْظِيماً وَتَكْرِيماً وَمَهَابَةً، وَزِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ وَكَرَّمَهُ مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ أَوْ اعْتَمَرَهُ تَشْرِيفاً وَتَكْرِيماً وَتَعْظِيماً وَبِرّاً.
اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، أحَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا بِالسَّلاَمِ
————————————
Tawaf:
Position yourself in line with the corner of the Kaaba where the Hajar al-Aswad is situated. This corner is the one that faces a single minaret (the other three corners face two minarets). There is a green light on the wall of the Masjid opposite the Kaaba which indicates where the Tawaf starts from. This is the starting point of each Shawt (circuit). Stand just before this starting point facing the Kaaba ensuring the Hajar al-Aswad is on your right side.
• Kissing, Touching or Saluting the Hajar al-Aswad (Istilam): Kissing – If you reach the Hajar al-Aswad, place your hands on it, put your face between your hands, say “bismi llāhi wallāhu akbar (ِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ)” and kiss it lightly. Some scholars have said it is preferable to kiss it three times, if you have the chance. Touching – If you’re in reaching distance but unable to kiss it, touch it with your hand(s) and kiss your hand(s). Saluting – If it isn’t possible to reach the stone, as is likely to be the case, perform a symbolic Istilam from afar by directly facing the Hajar al-Aswad and raising your hands up to your earlobes (as you would do when starting Salah). Ensure your palms are also facing it, as though your face and hands are on the Hajar al-Aswad and say “bismi llāhi wallāhu akbar (ِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ).” The following supplication may be recited when coming parallel to the Hajar al Aswad:
بِسْم اللَّهِ وَاللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِيْمَاناً بِكَ وَتَصْدِيْقاً بِكِتَابِكَ، وَوَفَاءً بِعَهْدِكَ، وَاتِّبَاعاً لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدْ
Turn to your right and start the first circuit of your Tawaf, ensuring the Kaaba is on your left. In the first three circuits, men should perform Raml, which is the practice of walking briskly, lifting the legs forcefully and sticking out the chest. However, if there is congestion, which is likely to be the case if you’re closer to the Kaaba, only perform this Sunnah if you’re sure you won’t harm or inconvenience others.
During your Tawaf, you may recite prayers and supplications of your choice. Duas are accepted during Tawaf so make the most of the occasion and remember Allah with sincerity and devotion.
Upon reaching the Rukn al-Yamani (the Yemeni Corner), the corner preceding the Hajar al-Aswad, touch it with your right hand or both hands and say “Allāhu akbar (اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ)” if you manage to get close enough. If there’s too much congestion, as is likely to be the case, proceed saying Takbir and gesturing towards it.
It is a Sunnah to recite the following Dua between the Rukn al-Yamani and the Hajar al-Aswad:
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Returning to Hajar al-Aswad marks the completion of one circuit. Begin the second by doing Istilam of Hajar al-Aswad as previously described and saying “Allāhu akbar (اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ)”. You should say Allāhu akbar while doing Istilam in all subsequent circuits. You will be performing Istilam eight times in total during the Tawaf; one before the start of the Tawaf and one at the end of each of the seven circuits.
Finishing Tawaf:
Upon finishing the Tawaf, perform two Rakahs of Salah, preferably in a position where Maqam Ibrahim is between you and the Kaaba. However, keep in mind that since Maqam Ibrahim is situated within the Mataf, there is often nowhere for pilgrims performing Tawaf to move, except around and almost over the top of those praying just beyond Maqam Ibrahim, resulting in a great deal of congestion. If it isn’t possible to perform the prayer there as a result of crowding, it can be performed anywhere in Masjid al-Haram. While moving to the place where you intend to perform the two Rakahs, it is recommended to audibly recite the following:
وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
Its Sunnah to recite Surah al-Kafirun (Qul Yā Ayyuha-l-Kāfirūn) in the first Rakah and Surah al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwa-llāhu Ahad) in the second, after Surah al-Fatiha
After completing Salah and making Dua, drink you fill of Zamzam water which is available around the Tawaf area. When drinking the water, it is Mustahabb to should stand and face the Kaaba, say Bismillah, pause to take a breath three times, and say Alhamdulillah after finishing. You can also rub it on your face and body. You may recite the following Dua after drinking the water:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا وَ شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ
After you have finished drinking Zamzam water, you may proceed to the Multazamwhich is the area between Hajar al-Aswad and the door of the Kaaba. It is a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and yet another station where supplications are accepted, so you should lengthen your Dua here. If you can’t reach the Multazam due to the crowds, you may face towards it and supplicate from a distance.
Before Sa’i, it is Sunnah to do Istilam of Hajar al-Aswad one last time. This will be the ninth time, following the eight times you performed Istilam during Tawaf.
———————————————
Safa and Marwa
As you’re approaching Safa, it is Sunnah to recite the following:
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِاللهُ Then say:
أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللهُ بِه
These should only be recited once before Sa’i and not at the start of each lap. Upon reaching the hill of Safa, face the direction of the Kaaba and raise your hands in supplication. Your view of the Kaaba will be obscured so make an educated guess about its location and face this direction. You may say Takbir (Allāhu akbar), Tahlil (lā ilāha illā Allāh) and send Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ. It is Sunnah to recite the following Dua:
اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، اَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ اَلْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ After reciting this Dua, you may recite your own supplications. Read the Dua a total of three times, making your own supplications in between each time, as was the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
From Safa, make your way towards Marwa. Between Safa and Marwa, you will encounter two sets of green fluorescent lights approximately 50 metres apart, which indicate the distance that Hajar ran in order to get to higher ground. These two markers are known as Milayn al-Akhdharayn (the two green mileposts). Between these two lights, it is Sunnah for men to run at a medium pace while women should continue normally.
Upon reaching the hill of Marwa, face the direction of the Kaaba, raise your hands in supplication and repeat the same supplications you recited at Safa. This completes one lap of Sa’i. Returning back to Safa is considered a second lap. Repeat this procedure until you have completed seven laps, at which point you should be at the hill of Marwa.
It is recommended to make a final Dua here and also to perform two Rakahs of Nafl Salah in Masjid al-Haram following Sa’i.
After Sa’i, you must have your hair shaved (Halq) or trimmed by at least an inch (Taqsir) in order to leave the state of Ihram and complete your Umrah. Women can just grab a section of their hair and cut off about an inch.
DONE!

No, islam is not homophobic, racist or sexist, it may not allow homosexuals, but that is a rule, we don’t hate on anyone, Muslim, or non Muslim. One of my favourite chapters of the Quran is surah al kafirun, it basically gets the point across, that we don’t hate you or your religion, we are not forcing anything upon you, we mind our business, you do your thing, and I do my thing

They tell you how to do Umrah, cover the Fardh/Wajib acts and mention various Sunnahs and some Trivia too.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, below are notes of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Fiqh of Umrah.
These notes cover everything the Sheikh mentioned in every lecture he has ever given about Umrah, that you can find on YT. I condensed all the lectures he gave from MIC Masjid and Epic Masjid about Umrah into the below notes.
Please feel free to use and share the notes. All I ask is that if you go for Umrah/Hajj then keep me in your Duas. Ask for my forgiveness for all sins and for the punishment of the Barzakh, Qiyamah and Jahannam to be made Haram for me.

Fiqh of Umrah:
Umrah means to intend and to visit (the house of Allah). It is one of the greatest acts of worship you can do. Some call Umrah the lesser Hajj and this is not an incorrect statement. For every footstep you take towards Makkah, Allah SWT elevates you 1 rank or forgives a sin.
Key Terms:
· Hujjaju: Person who is performing Hajj
· Ummaru/Mu’tamir: Person who is performing Umrah.
Benefits of doing Umrah from Hadiths:
· Performing Umrah forgives any minor sin done between it and the previous one you did, as long as you avoid the major sins.
· Umrah cleanses a person from poverty.
· Hajj and Umrah is the Jihad of weak people who cannot participate in offensive/defensive Jihad.
· The Prophet SAW stated “The Hujjaj and the Mu’tamir are Wafdullah (i.e guests of Allah SWT.) Allah SWT called them and they responded. Therefore if they ask Allah SWT then he will give them”.
· Umrah increases the acceptance of Dua. This is because it consists of multiple blessings at once, you are a traveller, you’re travelling to the house of Allah SWT and you are Wafdullah.
· Performing Umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to the reward of a Hajj.
The Fiqh of Umrah:
Rukun Acts:
A Rukun is a Fardh act of Umrah and there are 3 for Umrah.

Ihram (Making Niyyah)
Tawaf
Sa’ee

Wajib Acts:
Wajib acts if missed, will result in a Kaffarah(sacrifice) needing to be given. There are 2 Wajib acts for Umrah.

Entering into Ihram before the Miqat.
Shaving or trimming the hair at the end of Umrah.

Doing all of the Rukun and Wajib acts results in a Valid Umrah. Everything else is sunnah.
Miqat:
The Miqat are specific locations demarked by the Prophet SAW, for those who want to perform Umrah.
What is Ihram?
In modern speech, the Ihram refers to the two white garments. But, from a Fiqh perspective Ihram actually refers to making the Niyyah for Umrah. This can be done verbally or in one’s heart and it can be done in any language. You can make Ihram at the Miqat or before it. Below is a popular Niyyah in Arabic:
Labbayk Allahumma Umrah
Translation: O Allah, here I am to perform Umrah
Sunnah acts to do BEFORE entering Ihram:
· Take a Ghusl. This applies to women in their menses too.
· Put perfume on the body. This is put on the body before you enter Ihram. Do not put it on your Ihram clothing.
· Trim your nails and shave your pubic hair.
· Be dressed appropriately. For men this means wearing the two white garments and not wearing any stitched garment. Stitched here refers to any garment that covers a limb. For women there is no limit on what they can wear.
· Say the Talbiyah as loud as you can for as long as you can. You stop the Talbiyah when you enter Masjid Al Haram area. The Prophet SAW stated “any object that hears your Talbiyah will intercede on the Day of Judgement that, you said the Talbiyah”.
The Talbiyah:
Labbaik, Allahumma labbaik, labbaika la shareeka laka labbaik, innal hamda wanne'matah laka wal mulk, la shareeka laka
Translation: Here I am, O Allah! Here I am; Here I am, there is no partner unto You, Here I am; all praise and favours and sovereignty belongs to You, there is no partner unto You.
Things NOT to do when in Ihram:
· Cutting or shaving the hair
· Trimming the nails
· Putting on perfume (You can use cream, lotion, gel and toothpaste even if they have a perfume smell. What is forbidden is wearing actual perfume for the purpose of smelling good.)
· Wearing stitched garments
· Covering the head (no topi, kufi, turban) An umbrella is fine as it is detached from the head.
· Wearing Niqab and gloves.
· Giving a proposal.
· Any type of sexual foreplay or sexual intercourse. No kissing or touching with desire allowed at all.
If any of the above are done then a Kaffarah must be given.
Tawaf:
The Shafi, Maliki and Hanbalis say that Wudhu is Fardh in order to perform Tawaf. Whereas, the Hanafi’s say its Wajib and Ibn Taymiyyah RH said its sunnah. Therefore, its best to have Wudhu before you start Tawaf. If Wudhu breaks during the Tawaf, then you start the Tawaf from the beginning again.
Tawaf itself consists of 7 circuits(Shawt). Tawaf begins at the Hajar Al Aswad (the black stone) and it ends there as well.
The Sunnah Acts of Tawaf:
Tawaf has some Sunnah acts attached to it that you can do:

Before you begin the first Shawt you should do Idtiba. Idtiba is to uncover the right shoulder during all 7 circuits of Tawaf. After the 7 Shawt’s, cover the right shoulder back up.
Another Sunnah act is to perform Ramal, which involves walking at a fast pace for the first 3 Shawt’s only.
Touch the Rukun Al Yamani with your right hand. You do this during each Shawt of Tawaf. The Prophet SAW mentioned doing so wipes away sins. Do not make any motion to it, as that is exclusive for the Hajar Al Aswad.

Start your Tawaf at Hajar Al Aswad by saying Bismillahi Allahu Akbar. You should then follow the Sunnah of kissing or touching the Hajar Al Aswad. If you can neither kiss or touch it then, you can motion to it with the right hand, whilst walking and looking at it. As your walking you can read Qur’an, do Zikir or Duas. There is no authentic narration of any Dua the Prophet SAW made during Tawaf. Except the fact that, between the Rukun Al Yamani and the Hajar Al Aswad during every circuit, he (SAW) would say:
Rabbana atina Fid Dunya Hasanah wa Fil Akhirati Hasanah Waqina Azabannar
Translation: Our Lord give us in this world (that which is good) and in the hereafter (that which is good) and protect us from the punishment of the Fire”.
When you get back to the Hajar Al Aswad, then you simply repeat the above process an additional 6 times. At the end of the 7th round, you finish at the Hajar Al Aswad. But, you do not say Bismillahi Allahu Akbar or motion to the Hajar.
Maqami Ibrahim:
Once the Tawaf is done you should recite the below Ayah as its Sunnah
Wattakhidhu min Maqāmi Ibrāhīma Muṣalla.
And take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of Salah – Qur’an 2:125
And then pray 2 Rakaah Sunnah Salaah which, consists of reciting Surah Al Kafirun in 1st Rakaah and Surah Al Ikhlaas in the 2nd Rakaah. When you pray ensure the Maqami Ibrahim is somewhere in front of you. It should be between you and the Ka’aba. Do not block those doing the Tawaf whilst you pray, as it’s against the Sunnah to do so.
Zamzam:
After praying at the Maqami Ibrahim, it is Sunnah to drink some Zamzam. You should make lots of Dua before you take a sip of Zamzam. It is also Sunnah to drink Zamzam in small sips. Drink Zamzam as much as you can during your stay in Makkah.
Sa’ee:
After drinking Zamzam the Prophet SAW would go and perform Sa’ee starting from Safaa. Sa’ee consists of 7 circuits and not 7 laps meaning walking from Safa to Marwa and back is 2 circuits done, not 1. The Prophet SAW whilst standing on Safaa would recite Ayah 185 of Surah Al Baqarah, he then would look at the Ka’aba and do Zikir. The Prophet SAW also recited the Eid Takbir’s and then would make long Duas.
The Prophet SAW made a long Dua facing the Ka’ba each time he got to Safaa or Marwa. Whilst you are walking between Safa and Marwa, men (not women) should jog when reaching the green poles, to symbolise the story of Hajar AS and Ismail AS. Whilst walking, you should reflect on the story of Ismail AS and Hajar AS. Also reflect on how many Millions of Muslims that have walked between these two mountains.
The 7 circuits of Sa’ee go like this:
Start at Safa then go to Marwa. Circuit 1 complete
From Marwa go back Safa. Circuit 2 complete
From Safa go back to Marwa. Circuit 3 complete
From Marwa go back Safa. Circuit 4 complete
From Safa go back to Marwa. Circuit 5 complete
From Marwa go back Safa. Circuit 6 complete
From Safa go back to Marwa. Circuit 7 complete
During each of the circuits do the Sunnah acts mentioned above. Do the Eid Takbirs each time.
Halaq:
After the 7th circuit, you leave Marwa, do not stand there doing Dua after the last circuit. Instead go to have your head shaved or trimmed if you’re a man. It is better to shave the head completely. This must be done using a blade and NOT a machine. Make it clear to the barbers who are located around the Haram area that, you want the blade to shave and NOT the machine. This is for men. For women you simply cut the fingers length of your hair from your braids. If the women doesn’t have braids then gather your hair in a bunch and cut a fingers length.
Once you have done Halaq, the Umrah is completed and you can take the garments off and Ihram is finished.
Sunnah Acts To Do in Masjid Al Haram:
Pray inside Hijr Ismail:
The Hateem i.e Hijr Ismail is part of the Ka’aba area itself. The original Ka’aba built by Ibrahim AS included that area. But due to historical reasons, the Ka’ba was built not to include that area. If you pray there then, you are literally praying inside the Ka’aba itself.
Do a Dua at the Multazam:
The Multazam refers to the area between the Door of the Ka’aba and the Hajar Al Aswad. There is a weak Hadith that mentions whoever stands at the Multazam and does Dua, then Allah SWT will accept it. Even though the Hadith is weak, we know the Prophet SAW would stand in the Multazam and do Dua. Therefore, its encouraged to do this anytime you’re in Masjid Al Haram. When you do it, put your chest on it and beseech Allah SWT i.e make Dua. If you cannot due to the crowd, then simply stand in the area of the Multazam and make Dua. Either way you will have done the Sunnah.
Summary/TLDR for Umrah:

Get into Ihram (Wear the clothes and make Niyyah)
Do the Talbiyah to Masjid Al Haram
Do Idtiba
Say Bismillahi Allahu Akbar whilst kissing/touching or motioning to Hajar Al Aswad.
Do Ramal
Do 7 Tawaf
Pray 2 Rakaah Sunnah behind Maqami Ibrahim
Do Dua and Drink Zamzam.
Do 7 Sa’ee (remember no Idtiba)
Do Halaq (Shave/cut hair)

Fun Trivia fact: Ihsaar is when you are stopped from doing Umrah. The Maliki’s and Shafi’s say that, Ihsaar only applies when an enemy stops you from doing Umrah. Whereas the Hanafi’s and some Hanbalis say it can be any obstacle, like falling sick. In the case of Ihsaar you pay a sacrifice and then can leave Ihram without needing to complete Umrah.
Fun Trivia fact: Some scholars say that you can put a clause in your Niyyah for Umrah that “if something happens to stop me from performing umrah, then I become free of Ihram” and in doing so no sacrifice needs to be given.
Fun Trivia fact: Dhul Hulayfah is the furthest Miqat from Makkah.
Fun Trivia fact: Dhul Hulayfah is a blessed valley according to the Prophet SAW.
Fun Trivia fact: Praying 2 Rakaah at Dhul Hulayfah is Sunnah.
Fun Trivia fact: If you do not wear the two white garments when entering Ihram. Then you simply pay Kaffarah which can be any of the following 3 options.

Give a sacrifice
Fast 3 days
Feed 6 poor people.

Fun Trivia fact: Talking during Tawaf unnecessarily is not a good thing to do.
Fun Trivia fact: Dua is more likely to be accepted if you drink Zamzam before it.
Fun Trivia fact: Prior to the 1970s Muslims would have to physically leave the Masjid Al Haram to go and perform Sa’ee. This has now changed due to the various expansions that have occurred to incorporate the Sa’ee area into the Masjid itself.
Fun Trivia fact: Shafi and Hanafi’s allow you to do as many Umrahs you like. Simply go to Masjid Aisha and enter Ihram again. Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal RH said Umrah should not be done again until the hair grows back. This is therefore the Hanbali position. Imam Malik RH stated, don’t do more than one Umrah per year as it cheapens it. Ibn Taymiyyah RH stated its Makruh to do more than 1 Umrah per trip.
Fun Trivia fact: Sa’ee is only done during Umrah or Hajj. It cannot be done during any other time.
Fun Trivia fact: Tawaf can be done outside of Umrah or Hajj and it is an act of worship. Optional Tawaf is like Salah and one should maintain the Ikhlaas of Salah when doing it.
Fun Trivia fact: A woman who is on her periods can do all of the acts of Umrah apart from Tawaf.
Fun Trivia fact: If you have done Umrah before then you can do Umrah Badal i.e Umrah on behalf of someone who is dead.
Fun Trivia fact: You can do Tawaf on behalf of someone else.
Fun Trivia fact: Having even the Niyyah to do a sin in Makkah will cause you to have sins. The opposite is the same too, having even a Niyyah to do a good deed will give you it.
Fun Trivia fact: Any object that hears your Talbiyah also begins doing it. But, you cannot hear it.
Fun Trivia fact: Touching the Hajar Al Aswad and Rukun Al Yamani causes your sins to fall away.
Fun Trivia fact: During optional Tawafs you can touch/kiss the Hajar Al Aswad too.
Fun Trivia fact: When you kiss the Hajar Al Aswad, make sure you look at what you kiss. This is because in the past the Hajar Al Aswad was broken into piece’s and to reforge it, the stone was embedded into silver. So now only a few pieces of the Hajar Al Aswad can be kissed/touched. The rest of what you see is just silver.
Fun Trivia fact: Children can do Umrah/Hajj. But the parents will get the reward.
Fun Trivia fact: If you finish Tawaf during the prohibited times then you can pray the 2 Rakaah Sunnah behind Maqam Ibrahim without any problems. There is Ikhtilaf on this topic. But, Hanbali Fiqh allows it.
Fun Trivia fact: There is a fabricated Hadith that mentions looking at the Ka’aba is Ibadah. But, this is fabricated and has no basis. Looking at the Ka’aba should make your Eman go up though.
Fun Trivia fact: Some of the Sahabah RA when they first saw the Ka’aba, would stop and make long Dua. There is nothing from Qur’an and Sunnah on this. Although it is permissible.
Fun Trivia fact: When praying in Masjid Al Haram, look at the ground when praying Salah and not at the Ka’aba. Although it is not Haram or Makruh to look at the Ka’aba if your Eman is weak or if it helps you with Khushoo.
Fun Trivia fact: It is Sunnah to make Wudhu with Zamzam.
Fun Trivia fact: There is nothing in the Sunnah about a Farewell Tawaf. Some scholars have allowed it. Out of etiquette do a Tawaf before you leave Makkah after Umrah.
Fun Trivia fact: Umrah can be done at any time of the day or night.
Fun Trivia fact: In the past the Rawdah would close at 10pm but now it is open 247.
Fun Trivia fact: Women cannot visit Jannatul Mualla or Jannat Al Baqi.
Fun Trivia fact: Praying 1 Rakaah in Masjid Nabawi is equal to 1000 Rakaah elsewhere. In Masjid Al Haram praying 1 Salaah is equal to 100,000 Salaah elsewhere.
Fun Trivia fact: The Sahabi Thumamah Ibn Uthal RA was the first Muslim to perform Umrah post revelation of Qur’an.
Fun Trivia fact: Some classical Fiqh school scholars such as Imam Al Shafi RH and Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbali RH believed Umrah is Fardh.
Fun Trivia fact: The Ka’aba has 4 corners they are, the Hajar Al Aswad, Rukun Al Yamani, Rukun Al Iraqi and Rukun Al Shami. The latter two do not have any role in the Umrah.

They tell you how to do Umrah, cover the Fardh/Wajib acts and mention various Sunnahs and some Trivia too.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, below are notes of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi’s Fiqh of Umrah.
These notes cover everything the Sheikh mentioned in every lecture he has ever given about Umrah, that you can find on YT. I condensed all the lectures he gave from MIC Masjid and Epic Masjid about Umrah into the below notes.
Please feel free to use and share the notes. All I ask is that if you go for Umrah/Hajj then keep me in your Duas. Ask for my forgiveness for all sins and for the punishment of the Barzakh, Qiyamah and Jahannam to be made Haram for me.

Fiqh of Umrah:
Umrah means to intend and to visit (the house of Allah). It is one of the greatest acts of worship you can do. Some call Umrah the lesser Hajj and this is not an incorrect statement. For every footstep you take towards Makkah, Allah SWT elevates you 1 rank or forgives a sin.
Key Terms:
· Hujjaju: Person who is performing Hajj
· Ummaru/Mu’tamir: Person who is performing Umrah.
Benefits of doing Umrah from Hadiths:
· Performing Umrah forgives any minor sin done between it and the previous one you did, as long as you avoid the major sins.
· Umrah cleanses a person from poverty.
· Hajj and Umrah is the Jihad of weak people who cannot participate in offensive/defensive Jihad.
· The Prophet SAW stated “The Hujjaj and the Mu’tamir are Wafdullah (i.e guests of Allah SWT.) Allah SWT called them and they responded. Therefore if they ask Allah SWT then he will give them”.
· Umrah increases the acceptance of Dua. This is because it consists of multiple blessings at once, you are a traveller, you’re travelling to the house of Allah SWT and you are Wafdullah.
· Performing Umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to the reward of a Hajj.
The Fiqh of Umrah:
Rukun Acts:
A Rukun is a Fardh act of Umrah and there are 3 for Umrah.

Ihram (Making Niyyah)
Tawaf
Sa’ee

Wajib Acts:
Wajib acts if missed, will result in a Kaffarah(sacrifice) needing to be given. There are 2 Wajib acts for Umrah.

Entering into Ihram before the Miqat.
Shaving or trimming the hair at the end of Umrah.

Doing all of the Rukun and Wajib acts results in a Valid Umrah. Everything else is sunnah.
Miqat:
The Miqat are specific locations demarked by the Prophet SAW, for those who want to perform Umrah.
What is Ihram?
In modern speech, the Ihram refers to the two white garments. But, from a Fiqh perspective Ihram actually refers to making the Niyyah for Umrah. This can be done verbally or in one’s heart and it can be done in any language. You can make Ihram at the Miqat or before it. Below is a popular Niyyah in Arabic:
Labbayk Allahumma Umrah
Translation: O Allah, here I am to perform Umrah
Sunnah acts to do BEFORE entering Ihram:
· Take a Ghusl. This applies to women in their menses too.
· Put perfume on the body. This is put on the body before you enter Ihram. Do not put it on your Ihram clothing.
· Trim your nails and shave your pubic hair.
· Be dressed appropriately. For men this means wearing the two white garments and not wearing any stitched garment. Stitched here refers to any garment that covers a limb. For women there is no limit on what they can wear.
· Say the Talbiyah as loud as you can for as long as you can. You stop the Talbiyah when you enter Masjid Al Haram area. The Prophet SAW stated “any object that hears your Talbiyah will intercede on the Day of Judgement that, you said the Talbiyah”.
The Talbiyah:
Labbaik, Allahumma labbaik, labbaika la shareeka laka labbaik, innal hamda wanne'matah laka wal mulk, la shareeka laka
Translation: Here I am, O Allah! Here I am; Here I am, there is no partner unto You, Here I am; all praise and favours and sovereignty belongs to You, there is no partner unto You.
Things NOT to do when in Ihram:
· Cutting or shaving the hair
· Trimming the nails
· Putting on perfume (You can use cream, lotion, gel and toothpaste even if they have a perfume smell. What is forbidden is wearing actual perfume for the purpose of smelling good.)
· Wearing stitched garments
· Covering the head (no topi, kufi, turban) An umbrella is fine as it is detached from the head.
· Wearing Niqab and gloves.
· Giving a proposal.
· Any type of sexual foreplay or sexual intercourse. No kissing or touching with desire allowed at all.
If any of the above are done then a Kaffarah must be given.
Tawaf:
The Shafi, Maliki and Hanbalis say that Wudhu is Fardh in order to perform Tawaf. Whereas, the Hanafi’s say its Wajib and Ibn Taymiyyah RH said its sunnah. Therefore, its best to have Wudhu before you start Tawaf. If Wudhu breaks during the Tawaf, then you start the Tawaf from the beginning again.
Tawaf itself consists of 7 circuits(Shawt). Tawaf begins at the Hajar Al Aswad (the black stone) and it ends there as well.
The Sunnah Acts of Tawaf:
Tawaf has some Sunnah acts attached to it that you can do:

Before you begin the first Shawt you should do Idtiba. Idtiba is to uncover the right shoulder during all 7 circuits of Tawaf. After the 7 Shawt’s, cover the right shoulder back up.
Another Sunnah act is to perform Ramal, which involves walking at a fast pace for the first 3 Shawt’s only.
Touch the Rukun Al Yamani with your right hand. You do this during each Shawt of Tawaf. The Prophet SAW mentioned doing so wipes away sins. Do not make any motion to it, as that is exclusive for the Hajar Al Aswad.

Start your Tawaf at Hajar Al Aswad by saying Bismillahi Allahu Akbar. You should then follow the Sunnah of kissing or touching the Hajar Al Aswad. If you can neither kiss or touch it then, you can motion to it with the right hand, whilst walking and looking at it. As your walking you can read Qur’an, do Zikir or Duas. There is no authentic narration of any Dua the Prophet SAW made during Tawaf. Except the fact that, between the Rukun Al Yamani and the Hajar Al Aswad during every circuit, he (SAW) would say:
Rabbana atina Fid Dunya Hasanah wa Fil Akhirati Hasanah Waqina Azabannar
Translation: Our Lord give us in this world (that which is good) and in the hereafter (that which is good) and protect us from the punishment of the Fire”.
When you get back to the Hajar Al Aswad, then you simply repeat the above process an additional 6 times. At the end of the 7th round, you finish at the Hajar Al Aswad. But, you do not say Bismillahi Allahu Akbar or motion to the Hajar.
Maqami Ibrahim:
Once the Tawaf is done you should recite the below Ayah as its Sunnah
Wattakhidhu min Maqāmi Ibrāhīma Muṣalla.
And take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of Salah – Qur’an 2:125
And then pray 2 Rakaah Sunnah Salaah which, consists of reciting Surah Al Kafirun in 1st Rakaah and Surah Al Ikhlaas in the 2nd Rakaah. When you pray ensure the Maqami Ibrahim is somewhere in front of you. It should be between you and the Ka’aba. Do not block those doing the Tawaf whilst you pray, as it’s against the Sunnah to do so.
Zamzam:
After praying at the Maqami Ibrahim, it is Sunnah to drink some Zamzam. You should make lots of Dua before you take a sip of Zamzam. It is also Sunnah to drink Zamzam in small sips. Drink Zamzam as much as you can during your stay in Makkah.
Sa’ee:
After drinking Zamzam the Prophet SAW would go and perform Sa’ee starting from Safaa. Sa’ee consists of 7 circuits and not 7 laps meaning walking from Safa to Marwa and back is 2 circuits done, not 1. The Prophet SAW whilst standing on Safaa would recite Ayah 185 of Surah Al Baqarah, he then would look at the Ka’aba and do Zikir. The Prophet SAW also recited the Eid Takbir’s and then would make long Duas.
The Prophet SAW made a long Dua facing the Ka’ba each time he got to Safaa or Marwa. Whilst you are walking between Safa and Marwa, men (not women) should jog when reaching the green poles, to symbolise the story of Hajar AS and Ismail AS. Whilst walking, you should reflect on the story of Ismail AS and Hajar AS. Also reflect on how many Millions of Muslims that have walked between these two mountains.
The 7 circuits of Sa’ee go like this:
Start at Safa then go to Marwa. Circuit 1 complete
From Marwa go back Safa. Circuit 2 complete
From Safa go back to Marwa. Circuit 3 complete
From Marwa go back Safa. Circuit 4 complete
From Safa go back to Marwa. Circuit 5 complete
From Marwa go back Safa. Circuit 6 complete
From Safa go back to Marwa. Circuit 7 complete
During each of the circuits do the Sunnah acts mentioned above. Do the Eid Takbirs each time.
Halaq:
After the 7th circuit, you leave Marwa, do not stand there doing Dua after the last circuit. Instead go to have your head shaved or trimmed if you’re a man. It is better to shave the head completely. This must be done using a blade and NOT a machine. Make it clear to the barbers who are located around the Haram area that, you want the blade to shave and NOT the machine. This is for men. For women you simply cut the fingers length of your hair from your braids. If the women doesn’t have braids then gather your hair in a bunch and cut a fingers length.
Once you have done Halaq, the Umrah is completed and you can take the garments off and Ihram is finished.
Sunnah Acts To Do in Masjid Al Haram:
Pray inside Hijr Ismail:
The Hateem i.e Hijr Ismail is part of the Ka’aba area itself. The original Ka’aba built by Ibrahim AS included that area. But due to historical reasons, the Ka’ba was built not to include that area. If you pray there then, you are literally praying inside the Ka’aba itself.
Do a Dua at the Multazam:
The Multazam refers to the area between the Door of the Ka’aba and the Hajar Al Aswad. There is a weak Hadith that mentions whoever stands at the Multazam and does Dua, then Allah SWT will accept it. Even though the Hadith is weak, we know the Prophet SAW would stand in the Multazam and do Dua. Therefore, its encouraged to do this anytime you’re in Masjid Al Haram. When you do it, put your chest on it and beseech Allah SWT i.e make Dua. If you cannot due to the crowd, then simply stand in the area of the Multazam and make Dua. Either way you will have done the Sunnah.
Summary/TLDR for Umrah:

Get into Ihram (Wear the clothes and make Niyyah)
Do the Talbiyah to Masjid Al Haram
Do Idtiba
Say Bismillahi Allahu Akbar whilst kissing/touching or motioning to Hajar Al Aswad.
Do Ramal
Do 7 Tawaf
Pray 2 Rakaah Sunnah behind Maqami Ibrahim
Do Dua and Drink Zamzam.
Do 7 Sa’ee (remember no Idtiba)
Do Halaq (Shave/cut hair)

Fun Trivia fact: Ihsaar is when you are stopped from doing Umrah. The Maliki’s and Shafi’s say that, Ihsaar only applies when an enemy stops you from doing Umrah. Whereas the Hanafi’s and some Hanbalis say it can be any obstacle, like falling sick. In the case of Ihsaar you pay a sacrifice and then can leave Ihram without needing to complete Umrah.
Fun Trivia fact: Some scholars say that you can put a clause in your Niyyah for Umrah that “if something happens to stop me from performing umrah, then I become free of Ihram” and in doing so no sacrifice needs to be given.
Fun Trivia fact: Dhul Hulayfah is the furthest Miqat from Makkah.
Fun Trivia fact: Dhul Hulayfah is a blessed valley according to the Prophet SAW.
Fun Trivia fact: Praying 2 Rakaah at Dhul Hulayfah is Sunnah.
Fun Trivia fact: If you do not wear the two white garments when entering Ihram. Then you simply pay Kaffarah which can be any of the following 3 options.

Give a sacrifice
Fast 3 days
Feed 6 poor people.

Fun Trivia fact: Talking during Tawaf unnecessarily is not a good thing to do.
Fun Trivia fact: Dua is more likely to be accepted if you drink Zamzam before it.
Fun Trivia fact: Prior to the 1970s Muslims would have to physically leave the Masjid Al Haram to go and perform Sa’ee. This has now changed due to the various expansions that have occurred to incorporate the Sa’ee area into the Masjid itself.
Fun Trivia fact: Shafi and Hanafi’s allow you to do as many Umrahs you like. Simply go to Masjid Aisha and enter Ihram again. Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal RH said Umrah should not be done again until the hair grows back. This is therefore the Hanbali position. Imam Malik RH stated, don’t do more than one Umrah per year as it cheapens it. Ibn Taymiyyah RH stated its Makruh to do more than 1 Umrah per trip.
Fun Trivia fact: Sa’ee is only done during Umrah or Hajj. It cannot be done during any other time.
Fun Trivia fact: Tawaf can be done outside of Umrah or Hajj and it is an act of worship. Optional Tawaf is like Salah and one should maintain the Ikhlaas of Salah when doing it.
Fun Trivia fact: A woman who is on her periods can do all of the acts of Umrah apart from Tawaf.
Fun Trivia fact: If you have done Umrah before then you can do Umrah Badal i.e Umrah on behalf of someone who is dead.
Fun Trivia fact: You can do Tawaf on behalf of someone else.
Fun Trivia fact: Having even the Niyyah to do a sin in Makkah will cause you to have sins. The opposite is the same too, having even a Niyyah to do a good deed will give you it.
Fun Trivia fact: Any object that hears your Talbiyah also begins doing it. But, you cannot hear it.
Fun Trivia fact: Touching the Hajar Al Aswad and Rukun Al Yamani causes your sins to fall away.
Fun Trivia fact: During optional Tawafs you can touch/kiss the Hajar Al Aswad too.
Fun Trivia fact: When you kiss the Hajar Al Aswad, make sure you look at what you kiss. This is because in the past the Hajar Al Aswad was broken into piece’s and to reforge it, the stone was embedded into silver. So now only a few pieces of the Hajar Al Aswad can be kissed/touched. The rest of what you see is just silver.
Fun Trivia fact: Children can do Umrah/Hajj. But the parents will get the reward.
Fun Trivia fact: If you finish Tawaf during the prohibited times then you can pray the 2 Rakaah Sunnah behind Maqam Ibrahim without any problems. There is Ikhtilaf on this topic. But, Hanbali Fiqh allows it.
Fun Trivia fact: There is a fabricated Hadith that mentions looking at the Ka’aba is Ibadah. But, this is fabricated and has no basis. Looking at the Ka’aba should make your Eman go up though.
Fun Trivia fact: Some of the Sahabah RA when they first saw the Ka’aba, would stop and make long Dua. There is nothing from Qur’an and Sunnah on this. Although it is permissible.
Fun Trivia fact: When praying in Masjid Al Haram, look at the ground when praying Salah and not at the Ka’aba. Although it is not Haram or Makruh to look at the Ka’aba if your Eman is weak or if it helps you with Khushoo.
Fun Trivia fact: It is Sunnah to make Wudhu with Zamzam.
Fun Trivia fact: There is nothing in the Sunnah about a Farewell Tawaf. Some scholars have allowed it. Out of etiquette do a Tawaf before you leave Makkah after Umrah.
Fun Trivia fact: Umrah can be done at any time of the day or night.
Fun Trivia fact: In the past the Rawdah would close at 10pm but now it is open 247.
Fun Trivia fact: Women cannot visit Jannatul Mualla or Jannat Al Baqi.
Fun Trivia fact: Praying 1 Rakaah in Masjid Nabawi is equal to 1000 Rakaah elsewhere. In Masjid Al Haram praying 1 Salaah is equal to 100,000 Salaah elsewhere.
Fun Trivia fact: The Sahabi Thumamah Ibn Uthal RA was the first Muslim to perform Umrah post revelation of Qur’an.
Fun Trivia fact: Some classical Fiqh school scholars such as Imam Al Shafi RH and Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbali RH believed Umrah is Fardh.
Fun Trivia fact: The Ka’aba has 4 corners they are, the Hajar Al Aswad, Rukun Al Yamani, Rukun Al Iraqi and Rukun Al Shami. The latter two do not have any role in the Umrah.

[A guide] Everything you need to know about Istikhara!
Istikhara is a very beautiful Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, but many get confused on how it works and its results; therefore, we have explained this in more detail below. 1- The first thing one should know is what Istikhara really is and when one should perform it. For example, if one wants to get married and they have three different options, they will perform Istikhara and think that they are asking Allah to give them whichever is best for them, but this is wrong. Istikhara is simply a dua in which one is asking Allah, “If this is good for me, make it happen, but if it's bad for me, then distance it from me.” So if one has 3 pens, for example, he should not make Istikhara asking Allah whichever pen is good for me to use, guide me to it. This is not Istikhara. 2- So it is extremely important to know when to perform Istikhara. For example, a person is looking to buy a new house. He goes and visits them, and he has three houses he likes from the many he visited. In this case, he should first pick the house that he likes and is interested in the most from the three. So after he picks one house that he believes is the best, then he should do Istikhara! After performing the Istikhara, he should continue the process of buying the house. 3- Now, if the house is not good for him, then something will happen; he might find a problem in the house and not buy it anymore, or the seller might not want to sell the house to him, or something else might happen that will stop him from buying the house. But if the house is good for him to buy, then the buying process will go smoothly, and he will be able to buy the house without any problems! This is Istikhara; it is extremely simple! Istikhara is performed when one is making a decision, for example, he's buying a car, going on a trip, marrying someone, choosing a job, etc. Istikhara is not a multiple choice, so if one has three job options, one should pick the one he likes the most, then perform Istikhara. If one is interested in getting married to someone, then he should perform Istikhara! If one is making plans to travel, after one has decided where he wants to go, then he should perform Istikhara! 4- As to how to perform Istikhara, it is extremely simple! The Prophet ﷺ said, “When one of you has an important matter to decide, let him pray two Rak'ahs other than the obligatory prayers.” So one can perform Istikhara after praying the two Sunnah Rak’ah prayer before Fajr, or the two Sunnah after Maghrib or Isha. One can also pray two extra Rak'ahs and then perform Istikhara. After one has offered two Rak’ahs of non-obligatory prayer, he can recite the dua. One can either recite the dua after praying or in the tashahhud position (before giving the tasleem).
Ibn Taymiyyah was asked: “Regarding the supplication of Istikhara, is it to be recited during the prayer or after the Tasleem?”
He answered: “It is permissible to supplicate for Istikhara during the prayer and at other times, both before the Tasleem and after it. However, supplicating before the Tasleem is preferable. This is because the Prophet ﷺ most often made his supplications before the Tasleem, and the one praying should not conclude until after the Tasleem. Therefore, it is better to do it before the Tasleem. And Allah knows best.”
See: Majmu' al-Fatawa (23/177).
The supplication:
“Allahumma inni astakhiruka b'ilmika wa astaqdiruka biqudratika wa as'aluka min fadlika al-'azim. Fa innaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru wa ta'lamu wa la a'lamu wa anta 'allamul-ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna hadha-lamra khairun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa 'aqibati amri (or 'ajili amri wa ajilihi) faqdurhu li wa yas-sirhu li thumma barik li fihi. Wa in kunta ta'lamu anna hadha-lamra shar-run li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa 'aqibati amri (or fi 'ajili amri wa ajilihi) fasrifhu 'anni wa as-rifni 'anhu waqdur li al-khaira haithu kana thumma radini bihi (O Allah, I seek Your guidance [in making a choice] by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power, I have none. And You know, I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter (mention your need here) is good for me both in this world and in the Hereafter, or in my religion, my livelihood, and the consequences of my affairs, then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge it is bad for me and for my religion, my livelihood, and the consequences of my affairs, then turn me away from it, and turn it away from me, and ordain for me the good wherever it may be, and make me pleased with it).”
See: Sahih al-Bukhari (1166). There are some minor differences in wording in different hadiths; one can recite any, Insha'Allah.
Some scholars have said it is mustahab (recommended) to recite Surat Al-Kafirun and Al-Ikhlas, but we have not come across any narration that is traceable back to the Prophet ﷺ about this topic. Imam Al-Nawawi mentioned that one should recite these two Surahs in Al-Azkar (276) (113-114). Ibn Hajar said in Nata'ij al-Afkar fi Takhrij Ahadith al-Adhkar (495/1): “As for the recitation during the two units of the Istikhara prayer, I have not found anything about it in any of the hadiths.” Allah Knows Best.
As for this hadith: “Oh Anas! If you intend to do something, seek the counsel of your Lord seven times, then look at what has been placed in your heart. Indeed, goodness lies in it.” This was graded as da’eef jiddan (very weak) by Al-Albani in Al-Kalam Al-Tayyib (117), Al-Qastalani in Irshad Al-Sari (9/217), Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in Fath al-Bari (11/191). Al-Ayni said in Umdat Al-Qari (7/328): “Rejected with no supporting evidence.”
Regarding performing Istikhara at times when prayer is prohibited, all four schools of jurisprudence agree that it is not permissible. See: Al-Nihayah fi Sharh al-Hidayah (2/113), Fiqh al-`Ibadat Ala al-Madhhab al-Maliki (119), Al-Majmu' Sharh Al-Muhadhdhab (4/170), and Al-Mughni (2/90).
Ibn Muflih said: “Actions with a specific reason, such as greeting the mosque (tahiyyat al-masjid), the prostration of recitation (sujood at-tilawah), making up missed sunnah prayers, the eclipse prayer, and the prayer after ablution, are allowed during the times of prohibition. Our Sheikh added: Also, seeking guidance for matters that might be missed (istikhara)…” See: Al-Ikhtiyarat al-Fiqhiyah li Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah Lada Tullabih (3/114).
Ibn Taymiyyah said: “There is no prohibition at the rising of the sun until its zenith on Friday, according to Al-Shafi'i. The confirmed sunnah prayers are to be performed, and one can engage in actions that have a reason during the times of prohibition. This is one of the two narrations from Imam Ahmad, and it's the chosen opinion of a group of our scholars and others. One can also perform the Istikhara prayer during the times of prohibition concerning matters that cannot be postponed until the time of permission. It is recommended to pray two Rak'ahs after ablution, even if it's during the time of prohibition, and this is also the opinion of the Shafi'i school.” See: Al-Fatawa Al-Kubra (5/345). If the matter can be delayed until after the forbidden time of prayer is over, then it should be delayed. However, if it cannot be delayed and one has to perform Istikhara, then he can perform it even in the times when prayer is prohibited. Allah knows best. Lastly, regarding the results of Istikhara, it is a common misconception that the results come in one's dreams. For example, if someone performs Istikhara for a potential spouse and dreams of snakes or spiders, they think it's a sign that marrying that person is not good for them. However, there is no hadiths linking Istikhara with dreams. The results of Istikhara are simple – one will feel in their heart whether they should continue with the matter they performed Istikhara for or not. For instance, a person may feel excited about buying a car before performing Istikhara, but after performing it, their feelings change, indicating that they should not proceed with the purchase. May Allah guide us and Allah Knows Best.
End quote from Nur al-Qalb (8) by Muhammad ibn Javed Iqbal.

Surahs one can recite before sleeping!
Summary: Aytul Kursi. Last two verses of Baqarah. Surah Isra. Surah As-Sajdah. Surah Az-Zumar. Surat Al-Mulk. Surah Kafirun. (Cup hands and recite last three Surahs of the Qur'an) (Surah Ikhalas, Falaq and Nas, 3 times).
[Taken from Muhammad ibn Javed Iqbal's Nur al-Qalb (3-5)].
Surahs to recite before sleeping
As for which Surahs one should recite before sleeping, there are many and we have listed them below.
1- The Prophet ﷺ used to recite Ayatul Kursi (Chapter 2:255). This is mentioned in a lengthy hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari (2311) on the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him).
2- The Prophet ﷺ used to recite the last two verses of Surat Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2:285-286). This is mentioned in the hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari (5009) on the authority of Abu Masud (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet ﷺ said, “If somebody recited the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah at night, that will be sufficient for him.”
3- He ﷺ would also recite Surat Al-Isra (Chapter 17) and Az-Zumar (Chapter 39). Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated, “The Prophet ﷺ would not sleep until he recited Surat Al-Isra and Az-Zumar.”
This hadith was mentioned in Sunan at-Tirmidhi (2920), Al-Sunan Al-Kubra (10548), Musnad Ahmad (24388) and graded as hasan (sound/good) by Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani in Al-Futoohat Al-Rabbaniyyah (3/157), Al-Albani in Al-Silsilah Al-Sahihah (641) and by Shuaib Al-Arnaout in Takhrij al-Musnad li-Shu'aib (24908).
4- The Prophet ﷺ would also recite Surat As-Sajdah (Chapter 32) before he slept at night. There is a difference of opinion on the authenticity of the following hadith which was narrated on the authority of Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) in which he said: “The Prophet ﷺ would not sleep until he recited Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Mulk.”
This hadith contains Laith ibn Abi Salim ibn Znaim and Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, so there is a difference of opinion on the authenticity. In Shah Allah, it is authentic, Shuaib Al-Arnaout explained it in much more detail in Takhrij al-Musnad li-Shu'aib [Al-Risala edition] (14659) (23/26-27). We will not discuss that here as that’s not or field, may Allah reward him and our great scholars who dedicated their lives for Islam. Al-Albani graded this hadith as sahih in Hidayat Al-Nawawi (2096).
5- He ﷺ would also recite Surat Al-Mulk (Chapter 67) as it is mentioned in the hadith of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) in which the Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed, there is a chapter in the Quran of thirty verses that interceded for a man until he was forgiven. It is Surah ‘Blessed is He in whose hand is dominion…’”
We came across this hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah (3786), Sunan at-Tirmidhi (3404), Musnad Ahmad (7975), Sunan Abu Dawud (1400). Shuaib Al-Arnaout said in Takhrij al-Musnad li-Shu'aib (7975, 8276): “Hasan according to others,” so did Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Targheeb (1474). Ibn Taymiyyah said in Majmo’ al-Fatawa (22/277): “Thabit (proven).” Al-Rubai graded this hadith as sahih in Fath al-Ghaffar (1/331) and so did Al-Shawkani in Nayl al-Awtar (2/227).
Abdullah ibn Masoud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “A person will be brought to his grave, and his legs will bear witness against him, saying, ‘You had no concern for what was before you; he used to recite Surat Al-Mulk.’ Then he will be approached from his front or stomach, and it will say the same. Then his head will say, ‘You had no concern for what was before you; he used to recite Surat Al-Mulk.’ It will act as a barrier, protecting from the punishment of the grave. It is in the Torah a Chapter known as ‘Al-Mulk.’ Whoever recites it at night has indeed been abundantly good.”
This hadith was mentioned in Al-Mustadrak ala al-Sahihayn (3839), Al-Sunan Al-Kubra (10547), Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat (8651). Al-Haythami said in Majma' al-Zawa'id (7/130): “It includes Asim ibn Bahdala, who is trustworthy, but there is weakness attributed to him. The rest of its men are narrators found in authentic (reliable) collections,” Al-Mundhiri said something similar in Al-Targheeb wa al-Tarheeb (2/320). Al-Albani graded this hadith as hasan in Sahih Al-Targheeb (3634). So one can recite Surat Al-Mulk before sleeping as it is mentioned in authentic hadiths.
6- The Prophet ﷺ would also recite Surat Al-Kafirun (Chapter 109) before sleeping. Nawfal ibn Farwa Al-Ashjai (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said to Nawfal, “Recite ‘Say, O disbelievers’ and then go to sleep upon completing it, for it is a declaration of innocence from polytheism.” It was mentioned in Sunan Abu Dawud (5055), Sunan at-Tirmidhi (3403), Al-Sunan Al-Kubra (10637), Sahih Ibn Hibban (790), Musnad Ahmad (23807). There is a difference of opinion on the authenticity of this hadith as there is confusion in the isnad (chain of transmission). Shuaib Al-Arnaout said in Takhreej Sunan Abu Dawood (5055): “Hasan with some instability in its chain of transmission.” It was graded as sahih by Al-Albani in Sahih Abu Dawud (5055) and as hasan by Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani in Al-Futuhat Al-Rabbaniyah (3/155). Allah Knows Best.
7- And lastly, the Prophet ﷺ would also recite the last three Surahs of the Qur’an. He would recite Surat Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas (112,113, 114) three times.
Narrated Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “Whenever the Prophet ﷺ went to bed every night, he used to cup his hands together and blow into them, then recite into them, Surat Al-Ikhlas, Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas, and then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body. He used to do that three times.”
This was mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari (5017). We also explained this in detail in Sharah Farid Al’Ahadith (18).
May Allah grant us an understand, Allah Knows Best.
