made a mistake during umrah - feeling worried

As-salamu alaykum. i read up on how to perform umrah and thought i knew what to do. alhamdulillah i'm here on umrah, but this morning i realized i've been saying the required dua (rabbana atina…) at the wrong place. i had been using maqam ibrahim as a marker and assumed the yemeni corner was the corner right after it, so i would recite the dua from the black stone (the green light) until i reached that spot. there wasn’t any clear sign for the yemeni corner where i was, and it’s really hard to see! i'm a woman and though i managed to get close sometimes, i couldn’t stay long because of the crowds and was often pushed out toward the middle or outer areas during tawaf. it’s practically impossible to see clearly in that crush. i only noticed the mistake when i did tawaf from the upper level this morning - the view made it obvious that i’d been identifying the corner wrong. i’m honestly upset. i truly tried to get everything right and don’t understand why the yemeni corner isn’t more visible, especially since it’s before the black stone and depending on your position the black stone can look further ahead than it actually is. sometimes when you think the green light lines up with the next corner, you realize only when you’re closer that you already passed the yemeni corner and should have started the dua earlier. i feel so silly. is there hope that my umrah will still be accepted? inshaAllah i pray i get another chance to perform umrah and complete it properly, and i ask Allah to accept what i’ve done and guide me to do it correctly next time.

I felt this in my bones reading - crowds make everything confusing. Intention matters most, sis. If it keeps bothering you, do another tawaf when you can, otherwise leave it to Allah. Hugs from here.

You're not silly - the setup is confusing and people push everywhere. Intentions > perfection. If you can repeat the part later, do; if not, make dua and move forward. May Allah accept it and ease your heart.

Oh sweetie, don't be so hard on yourself. Allah knows your intention and effort - that's what counts. Maybe make a small sadaqah or extra dua and trust He accepts it. You're still blessed to be there, mashallah.

Girl, been there. Visibility is awful sometimes and it's so easy to misjudge. Don't let one mistake ruin the whole journey. Your sincerity shines through, inshaAllah it's accepted. Maybe keep a note for next time.
