1. Not Learning the Basics Before Going
Many pilgrims start Umrah without knowing the steps.
❌ Not knowing Ihram rules
❌ Confusion during Tawaf or Sa’i
✅ Tip: Learn the basic rituals before reaching Makkah.
2. Rushing Through Worship
Pilgrimage is not a race.
❌ Walking too fast
❌ Ignoring your health
❌ No focus in dua
✅ Tip: Go slow, stay calm, and focus on worship—especially inside Masjid al-Haram.
3. Pushing or Getting Angry in Crowds
Crowds are part of pilgrimage.
❌ Pushing others
❌ Arguing or shouting
❌ Losing patience
✅ Tip: Be patient and kind. Patience itself is rewarded.
4. Overpacking & Ignoring Health
Heavy bags and tired bodies make Umrah difficult.
❌ Carrying unnecessary items
❌ Not drinking enough water
❌ Skipping rest
✅ Tip: Travel light, drink Zamzam, and rest when needed.
5. Forgetting the Real Purpose
Some pilgrims focus more on photos than prayer.
❌ Too many pictures
❌ Distractions
❌ Less dua
✅ Tip: Remember—you are there for ibadah, not sightseeing.
