TIME IS RUNNING OUT: DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE FOR UMRAH!
Young people often don’t take Umrah seriously; they get caught up in their daily lives and forget the main reason we’re here on Earth: to worship Allah and fulfil the duties of our religion, Islam. It’s only in the later stages of life that many realize the importance of visiting the house of Allah at least once before they die.
As you grow older and move past your youthful years, you may come to see that a considerable amount of that precious time was devoted to worldly concerns. Brothers and sisters, it might seem challenging to find time amidst your busy lives—whether due to studies, responsibilities, or financial constraints. But remember, we are all urged to make the most of our youth.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
“The feet of man will not slip on the Day of Resurrection until he is asked of five things: his life, his youth, his wealth, his knowledge, and what he did with all of these.”
[Tirmidhi]
Umrah is a beautiful Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW), and millions of Muslims perform it every year. While it’s often called the ‘lesser pilgrimage,’ it holds incredible rewards. During Umrah, you do the Tawaf around the Kaabah and complete Sa’i between Safa and Marwah—all while in the sacred state of Ihram.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
“Keep on doing Hajj and Umrah, because they eliminate poverty and sins just like a furnace eliminates the impurities of gold and silver. And an accepted Hajj has no reward less than Paradise!”
[Tirmidhi, Nisaa’i]
Repentance and Dua
Umrah is a special time to ask Allah for your desires. As a pilgrim, you are a guest of Allah, and Allah listens to the prayers of His guests. It is also the perfect moment to seek forgiveness for past mistakes and start fresh. This journey allows you to purify your heart and soul.
Utilize Your Youth
Umrah isn’t just a spiritual journey—it’s also a physical one. It requires energy, strength, and endurance. So, what better time to perform Umrah than in your youth, when you have the energy to fully engage in all the rituals? Don’t wait for later; now is the best time!
Uncertainty of Life
We never know when our time will come. Life is unpredictable, and we should always be prepared for death. There’s no guarantee that we’ll have the chance to perform Umrah in old age. That’s why it’s wise to go as soon as you can.
We may have wealth, but it can never bring peace to the soul like the journey to the House of Allah can. Don’t wait until it’s too late to regret not visiting the Kaabah. Now is the time—Aimah Tours is here to provide you with a hassle-free, fulfilling Umrah experience.
The Value of Seeing the Kaabah
The Kaabah is the most sacred place on Earth. It’s the home of the One we worship—Allah. We face the Kaabah every time we pray. The Prophet (SAW) said:
“Whoever performs Hajj or Umrah and visits this house, and does not speak any evil or commit any sin, will return free from all sins as the day his mother gave birth to him.”
[Al-Bukhari]
The Blessings of Praying in Rawda
Rawda, the place between the Prophet’s (SAW) house and his pulpit in Madinah, is a garden from Jannah. The Prophet (SAW) said:
“Between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise.”
[Sahih Bukhari]
How blessed would it be to pray in this beautiful place, where the angels surround you?
Visiting Jannatul Baqi
Jannatul Baqi is the cemetery in Madinah, where many of the Prophet’s (SAW) family members and companions are buried. Visiting it reminds us of our mortality and how precious this life is. The Prophet (SAW) said:
“When you visit the graveyard, say ‘As-Salamu Alaikum, Ahl al-Diyar, min al-Mu’minin wal-Muslimin…’ (Peace be upon you, O people of the abode, from among the believers and Muslims).”
[Sahih Muslim]
The Grave of Hamza (RA)
The grave of Hamza (RA), the beloved uncle of the Prophet (SAW), is a place of honour. Hamza (RA) was a warrior in the Battle of Uhud. The Prophet (SAW) said:
“Hamza is the leader of the martyrs.”
[Tirmidhi]
Visiting his grave reminds us of the sacrifices made for Islam.
The Battle of Badr
The Battle of Badr, where the first victory of Islam was achieved, is a sacred place. The Prophet (SAW) said:
“Indeed, Allah has promised me a victory for my Ummah.”
[Al-Bukhari]
Visiting this site connects us with the strength and courage of our ancestors.
Jabal e Malaika
Jabal e Malaika, the Mountain of Angels, is where angels descended during the Battle of Badr to help the Muslims. It’s a peaceful place, reminding us that Allah’s help is always near.
Rich or poor, none of us can buy the peace that comes from standing before the Kaabah. Don’t let your wealth keep you from the ultimate reward. Come with Aimah Tours—where your journey is made easy, so you can focus on worship.
The Kaabah is waiting for you. Will you answer the call?
