Every year when the holy month of Ramadan comes nearer Muslims across India prepare for their ‘journey of spiritual renewal’ and look for quality Ramadan Umrah Packages that help them in the process. Ramadan, the 9th month popularly known as the month of Sawm (fasting) and Salah (Prayer), is a time when Allah’s (SWT) Rahmah (mercy) flows upon the believers in abundance. This is a month Muslims wait for the whole year to reflect on their Iman (faith), seek Istighfar (forgiveness), and deepen the holy bond with the Ar-Rahman (one of the 99 names of Allah SWT).
As the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal to Hajj in reward” (Sahih al-Bukhari), many Muslims still follow this and go on the holy journey during the sacred time of the year. In this blog, we’ll be discussing the Ramadan Umrah and why pilgrims depend on packages in order to perform their pilgrimage to the cities of Makkah and Madinah.
Performing Umrah in Mah-e-Ramadan
As mentioned earlier, according to Islamic traditions, performing Umrah during the holy season brings great blessings. Every year, countless pilgrims from India travel to the holy cities of Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah during Ramadan. The peace of praying in Masjid al-Haram, breaking the fast (Iftar) with Ummah, and standing in Taraweeh (special night prayers) during this blessed month create an unparalleled sense of spiritual fulfillment. For many, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that fills their hearts and souls. These are the blessings of Ramadan Umrah –
1. Becoming the Mu'tamir of Allah (SWT)
When you perform Umrah during Ramadan, you are no ordinary traveler, you are the guest of Allah SWT (Mutamir), the Creator of the entire universe. Being in the sacred land of Makkah and Madinah during this blessed month is a privilege. Here, every Ibadat, every dua, and every Salah feels even more special. It feels like Allah (SWT) Himself has invited you to His house to shower you with His mercy.
2. A Means of Rizq and Barakah
Umrah is not only about spiritual rewards but also worldly blessings. The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Follow up Hajj and Umrah, for they eliminate poverty and sins just as fire removes impurities from iron”. Performing Umrah during this time can bring unexpected barakah (blessings) into your life, making your Rizq (sustenance) abundant and pure.
3. Opportunity to Wipe Out Gunah (Sins)
Imagine starting fresh, free from all your past mistakes. Umrah offers you this chance, especially during the holy time, a month when Allah’s (SWT) mercy is limitless. With sincere repentance and acts of Ibadat, you can purify your soul and return home with a clean state of being.
4. Strengthening Your Iman (Faith)
The spiritual environment in the holy land betters your connection with Allah (SWT). Every prayer in the Haram, every Tawaf, and every moment spent fasting brings you closer to Him, making your Iman stronger like never before.
5. Spending Laylat-ul-Qadr in Makkah
Laylat-ul-Qadr, the Night of Decree, is the most powerful night of the year, and experiencing it in Makkah is a blessing beyond words. Praying in the Haram during this night multiplies rewards immensely, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for true spiritual elevation.
Packages That Make the ‘Lesser Pilgrimage’ Easier
While the rewards of Umrah during Ramadan are greater, planning the entire journey during the demanding month becomes a quite hard task. This is where Umrah Packages come in, making the entire process smoother and more manageable for pilgrims offering flight tickets, visas, accommodation, transportation, and sometimes even food.
These packages are very carefully designed to help the pilgrims perform their pilgrimage easily during this holy month. When choosing a package, it’s essential to consider several factors:
- Necessary Services: Make sure your package includes visa processing, flights, accommodation close to the holy sites in both cities, Indian food, and transportation during the pilgrimage days.
- Comfortable Stay: During Ramadan, the physical demands of fasting and performing Umrah rituals require comfortable and conveniently located accommodations.
- Guided Assistance: Look for packages that provide experienced guides to assist with religious practices and logistics.
- Affordability: With a variety of packages available, finding one that goes with your budget without compromising on essential services is very important.
- Special Ramadan Provisions: Some packages offer special arrangements for Suhoor (pre-dawn meals) and Iftar, and also appointments in holy Riaz-ul-Jannah.
A good Ramadan package not only saves pilgrims from logistical troubles but also allows them to focus on their worship. It makes sure they can make the most of this blessed time by offering peace of mind and convenience.
