Pillars of Umrah

There are four pillars of this prayer:
 Ihraam: acquired at Meeqat
Whenever a man goes for Hajj or Umrah, they are necessary to take away their clothing and be dressed in two pieces of towels or blankets. A woman who goes for Umrah or Hajj is obligatory to dress in whatever she feels relaxed in but restrain from wearing any fragrance, cutting nails etc. What is the knowledge behind doing this? Is there any meaning in wearing and being in the state of Ihraam?
Tawaaf: around Holy Kaabah
During the Hajj and Umrah, Muslims are to go around the Kaaba (the most blessed site in Islam) seven times, in a counterclockwise way; the first three routes at a rushed pace, followed by four times, more intimately, at a relaxed pace.
Sa’iy: performed in between Safa and Marwah by walking seven times
Safa and Marwa are two little hills now located in the huge Mosque of Makkah in Saudi Arabia. Muslims tour back and forth between them seven times , during the ceremony ... Safa—from which the ritual walking or Sa'i begins—and Marwa are located about 100 m (330 ft) ... Performing the Sa'i (Arabic: سعي , translit.
"Run" between those two mountains seven times. Begin at the top of Safa. Piece of the path is at ... Next, you walk usually to the foot of Marwa. Sa'y is a look for.
Tahal-lul: leaving condition of Ihraam

Mahmoor and Aamir are required to abide by certain rules and principles.

Tawaf of Kaaba

Tawaf means circling around something. Here it means moving around Kaaba seven times. Preparation: Pass the upper sheet of Ihram from underneath the right arm and put it on the left shoulder.

Niyyah (Intention): Stand in front of Kaabah facing Hajar-e-Aswad (the Black Stone) in such a way that the whole Hajre-e-Aswad is on your right side. To achieve this end, you may get help from the black stripe on the floor. This stripe should be on your right side. Then without raising your hands make Niyyah (intention) for Tawaf Umrah: " O Allah, I perform Tawaf of Masjide Haram to please You. Make it easy for me and accept it from me."
