When any of us decides to go on Umrah, the excitement is clearly visible. We suddenly seem to have some super energy and are so excited at the thought of putting on the ihram and calling out talbiyah \u2013 LabaikAllah Humma Labaik \u2026 The vigour to see the ka\u2019bah, to hear the booming adhan, to be standing close to the ka\u2019bah and listen to the most melodious recitation of the Quran, to immerse oneself in the bliss and tranquillity of the prophet\u2019s mosque in Madinah, \u2026 it\u2019s so up-lifting.<\/p>

So you are going to\u00a0Umrah<\/em>\u00a0\u2026<\/p>

\u201cHere I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no partner\u201d<\/b><\/p>

When any of our friends or family decides to go on\u00a0Umrah<\/em>, the excitement is clearly visible.\u00a0 They suddenly seem to have some never-seen-before energy and are so excited at the thought of putting on the\u00a0ihram<\/em>\u00a0(two white sheets for men, normal dress code for women) and calling out\u00a0talbiyah \u2013 LabaikAllah Humma Labaik \u2026<\/em>\u00a0 The vigour to see the\u00a0ka\u2019bah<\/em>\u00a0for the first time, to hear the booming adhan of Makkah and Madinah, to be standing in close proximity of the ka\u2019bah and listen to the sweetest and most melodious recitation of the Quran, to circumambulate the ka\u2019bah, to run between\u00a0Safa<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Marwah<\/em>, to immerse oneself in the bliss and tranquillity of the prophet\u2019s mosque in Madinah, \u2026 it\u2019s so up-lifting.<\/p>

One Umrah is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the last.<\/em>\u00a0(Bukhari, Muslim).<\/p>

That\u2019s the ultimate goal, to be sin-free like a new-born baby. \u00a0Undertaking this journey is a great opportunity to reflect, think and break free of those sins.<\/p>

The sins beings expiated is further amplified in Ramadhan. The Prophet PBUH (Peace be Upon Him) said \u201cUmrah performed in the month of Ramadhan will equal (in rewards) to that of Hajj or Hajj performed with Me.\u201d (Bukhari, Muslim).\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Imagine an entire hajj with The Prophet PBUH; the immense rewards that would be for us if we are blessed to undertake the journey in Ramadhan \u2026<\/p>

Hundreds of thousands of humble pilgrims travel to Makkah from all parts of the world. They unanimously resonate the words \u201cHere I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no partner\u201d. \u00a0<\/strong>H<\/strong>earing these words around you which are also echoing across the globe, one is filled with total submission to Allah\u2019s might, his absolute Kingship and Lordship.<\/p>

Standing in rows in alHaram, pilgrims are awestruck at the sheer magnitude of the people present. \u00a0All gathered in one confined place, the rich and the poor in the same simple clothing. There is no king and no pauper, all are equal before the Creator, Almighty Allah SWT.\u00a0 It is an overwhelming experience. \u00a0May Allah SWT give you the honour of visiting His house in the manner He likes for you to, and that requires a very careful and thoughtful planning on your part.<\/p>

What makes your Umrah memorable is:<\/p>

  1. To get into the correct mental state.<\/li>
  2. To learn the etiquettes and the rulings of prayer, du\u2019aa, charity and Umrah.<\/li>
  3. To get in a good physical shape and form.<\/li>
  4. To buy the Umrah package from a trust-worthy and honest Umrah Agent.<\/li>
  5. To remain steadfast, humble and patient before, throughout and after your Umrah trip.<\/li><\/ol>
