Umrah is a smaller pilgrimage and one of the best and most beautiful things that our beloved Prophet PBUH did. Every year, millions of Muslims do Umrah at different times because, unlike Hajj, there is no set time to do Umrah. This form of worship is thought to be one of the best because Muslims go to the house of Allah just for Allah's sake and ask Him SWT for forgiveness and pray for everything they need. Umrah is a spiritual journey to Allah, and Allah Almighty rewards those who do it with good intentions in a big way. One must do it with a lot of love, gratitude, intensity, and desire.

Amazing Benefits of Going on Umrah

When you do Umrah, you feel like a new person. Your body and soul are free of sin, just like when you were born. This is because Umrah cleanses you of all the sins you've done in the past. From the Holy Quran:

“Accomplish Hajj and Umrah to please Allah”

The four most important rewards that Allah Almighty gives to a Muslim who does Umrah are listed below.

Guest of Allah:
Hazrat Abu Huraira (R.A.) told how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had said:

"Allah has three visitors. The Ghazi, who fights in Jihad, the Hajj, who makes the Hajj pilgrimage, and the Mu'tamir, who makes the Umrah pilgrimage."

Reference: Hadith No. 2626, Book of The Rites of Hajj, Sunan An-Nasa’i, Vol. 3.

The thought of being a guest of the Supreme Being who made the whole universe gives me chills, but it's also the most beautiful feeling in the world. Think about all the good things your Lord would do for you if you were His guest. When a person goes to Makkah, the most holy place on earth, he or she can get a lot of rewards and blessings from Allah Almighty, the great host. When the pilgrim gets there, he or she feels a strange sense of calm. You left your home and comforts behind just to serve Allah and ask Him for forgiveness, so He Almighty will never let you down.

Sins forgiven:

A person's sins will be taken away if he or she goes to the Holy Land just to do the Umrah for the sake of Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty is the only one who has asked His creation to come to Him and ask for forgiveness, and He will surely forgive you. He gives everyone in His world the chance to ask for forgiveness, and if they do, He forgives them in an instant. The person's sins will be forgiven every time he or she does Umrah. Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) narrated that Allah's Messenger said:

"(The act of) Umrah makes up for the sins that have been done" (between it and the previous one). And the only reward for Hajj Mabrur, which Allah accepts, is Paradise."

Umrah is the same as Jihad. People have talked a lot about how important Jihad is, and there are many kinds of it. Jihad is an act of great love and devotion, so the reward for it is to die. But most Muslims don't do Jihad like they did in the past. It will be exciting for them to learn that doing Umrah gives the same reward as Jihad. The act of performing Umrah is the same as Jihad. Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) said that our prophet, Muhammad (PBUH), said:

“Jihad of the elderly, the young, the weak and the women is Hajj and Umrah.”

On a different occasion, He SAW said:

"The person who fights for Allah, the pilgrim, and the person who is doing Umrah are all Allah's. He called them, and they answered. They asked for His blessings, and He gave them.

Islam is a complete way of life that brings rewards and blessings in many different ways to those who follow it. Another thing we learn from the above hadith is that people who did Umrah but were not strong enough got a lot more reward than those who were.

To get rid of poverty, Allah's Messenger said:

"Do Hajj and Umrah right after each other, because they get rid of poverty and sin like hollers get rid of dirt from iron."

The beautiful Hadith makes it clear that doing Umrah is a way to get rid of sins. Obviously, not everyone does it to get out of poverty, but they do it to get many blessings and great rewards from Allah Almighty. By doing this great act of worship, people who are having trouble with money can get their businesses back on track.

Muslim jurists say that anyone who can afford to and is physically able to should make at least one Umrah in their lifetime. This can be done with or before Hajj or at any other time of the year. Um ul Momeneen Hazrat Ayesha (RA) told us that Allah's Messenger said:

"Whoever leaves his home only to go on Hajj or Umrah and then dies, nothing will be given to him, and he will not be responsible for anything on the Day of Reckoning. Instead, he will be told to go to Jannah."

Just doing this huge worship is seen as a great reward in and of itself. May Allah SWT allow every Muslim to go to the holy land and be our guest. But don't forget that when He Almighty gives you a chance to visit His home, you should make the most of it because every little thing you do or say counts there. From the moment you land on the Holy Land, you should think of yourself as being in front of God all the time. You should never do anything that Islam says is wrong. May Allah make it possible for every Muslim to do Umrah at least once in their life. Islamic Travel tries to offer the best Umrah packages at prices that are easy on the wallet.
