Umrah Dhu'l Qada, also called the "First Pilgrimage," was the first Umrah that Prophet Muhammad SAWW and his friends did in Islamic history. In 629 CE, on the morning of the fourth day of Dhu al-Qi'dah, the First Pilgrimage took place. Muslims were able to do their first Umrah after all the fighting and fighting for their religion.
Prophet Muhammad SAWW decided to move from Makkah to Madinah when the tyranny of the non-believers went too far and was no longer bearable. This was the will of Almighty Allah. Prophet Muhammad SAWW was very sad at the time because Makkah was his home and a place he loved very much. Messenger of Allah SAWW turned toward Makah's border and said that he really wanted to live there, but the people who lived there wouldn't let Muslims live there.
When Prophet Muhammad SAWW led the Muslims to Madinah, the people of Madinah welcomed them with open arms. They give people in Makkah a place to live, food, shelter, and everything else they need to live. Prophet Muhammad SAWW and his people really wanted to do Umrah, but they had to move to Madinah because of bad things that happened. Now that they were happy in Madinah, they decided to do Umrah.
Muslims were excited and ready to see the holy Kabah, so they did their best to get ready for their trip. But when they got to Makkah for the pilgrimage in 628 CE, as one of the revelations in the holy Quran told them to do, the Quraysh wouldn't let them in. Muslims were sad and angry because they couldn't do Umrah, which they really wanted to do. Then, a treaty was signed, which is known in Islamic history as the "Treaty of Hudaybiyah." Treaty of Hudaybiyah was a deal between the non-believers of Makkah and the Muslims that let them go on pilgrimage the next year without fighting (629 CE). But they were not allowed to do Umrah this time.
Muslims went back to their homes in Madinah and couldn't wait for the next year to come. When the next year came around, their worries and desperation were less, and all the Muslims were ready to do Umrah. The first Umrah was then done by 2,000 men, women, and children in the year 629 CE. There were also 60 camels that the Muslims were going to kill. Even though the treaty was signed the year before, giving Muslims full safety and shelter, they were not happy and worried about their safety because of what had happened in the past. Still, the treaty said that the Muslims had to leave their weapons 8 miles away from the city of Makkah. When the pilgrims arrived in Makkah, their joy was through the roof. They put their swords away and followed the Prophet Muhammad SAWW, who was riding a she-camel.
When the Muslim army reached the city's edge, they saw that the non-believers had moved to tents far away from the holy sanctuary. Even though they were tired from the long trip, they really wanted to see the holy Kabah and do Umrah. Because of this, the Muslims ran the first three times around the Kabah and walked quickly for the next three times. The people of Makkah watched the Muslims circle the Kabah from the top of the hill. They were also impressed by how strong the Muslims were, since they had been through a lot just to keep their religion alive.
Muslims should learn from what happened and remember the struggles of their ancestors when they do Umrah. In this modern era you can book Cheap Umrah packages 2023 London to perform umrah.
