🕌 Worship in the home · #178
How can the two of us prepare physically and health-wise a few months before umrah?
Start walking practice two or three months early, because tawaf and sa'i require stamina. Walking together every evening prepares the body and is also a chance to talk about your intentions for the journey. Increase the distance little by little. Wear the shoes or sandals you will take with you so your feet get used to them. If either of you has an illness such as high blood pressure, diabetes or knee problems, see a doctor for a check-up and advice on the medicines you need to bring. Also get the vaccinations required by the authorities for the trip. Train yourselves to sleep earlier so your body is not shocked by the worship schedule there. See umrah as a spiritual journey.
