Exceptional Rewards of Performing Umrah

 Umrah remains an integral part of Islamic heritage; one of the two holy pilgrimages. Millions of Muslims flock to the Holy City of Makkah all around the year, in hopes of salvation and spiritual gratification. Though Umrah's performance isn’t obligatory for Muslims, it’s the sunnah that began right from the moment Umrah rituals were performed by the Holy Prophet (SAWW), more than a millennium ago.

Whilst the communal benefits of Umrah are remarkable; its religious importance and rewards cannot be ignored. That’s why Muslims gather around Kaaba throughout the year for offering the holy rituals of minor pilgrimage. Here are some of the promised rewards of Umrah for believers.

Being the Guest of Allah Almighty.

Holy Kaaba, being the house of Allah Almighty, becomes a place of religious communication for those who choose to undertake the journey for their spiritual nourishment i.e. Umrah and Hajj, which is its own reward. Since a pilgrim also performs all of its Umrah rituals inside Masjid-al-haram, he/she becomes a guest of Allah almighty. As narrated in the hadith of Holy Prophet (SAWW); (description) the guests of Allah are three; 

  • The Ghazi; one who fights in Jihad.
  • The Hajji; pilgrim who performs Hajj.
  • The Mu’tamir; one who performs Umrah.

Aid in times of Financial instability.

We all go through some sort of financial instability in our lifetime. Yet, no matter what problem you are facing economically, Dua is a perfect solution for it. And what better place to make Dua than the House of Allah Almighty? Therefore, performing umrah also rewards a person with benefits in wealth. As narrated in the Hadith of Holy Prophet (SAWW); (description) perform Hajj and Umrah consecutively, for they remove poverty and sin for a person just like bellows removes impurities from iron. 

Despite, a person who spends its wealth in the path of Allah Almighty, Allah blesses its wealth with barakah.

Jihad’s equivalence.

Jihad has very significant importance in Islam. As a matter of fact, it is among the deeds that are most rewarding for a believer. As narrated in the hadith of Holy Prophet (SAWW); (description) performance of hajj and umrah is the jihad of the elderly, the weak, women, and children/young. 

Removal of Sins.

It’s human nature to make mistakes. However, if a believer asks Allah Almighty for forgiveness with the purest intentions of heart, surely Allah Almighty forgives all of its sins. Just like the other Ibadah, Umrah is also a great medium for seeking forgiveness from Allah almighty. As narrated in the hadith by Holy Prophet (SAWW); (description) From one Umrah to another, it is the expiation for sins that come in between.

Hence, if you are looking forward to going on an Umrah trip, there’s a diversity of Hajj and Umrah Travel Agency to choose from.
