Hajj & Umrah in Islam
The Hajj is one of the largest annual gatherings in the world, with over two million pilgrims attending from around 188 countries each year in the Holiest City of Makkah. It falls in the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, from the 8th to the 12th Dhual Hijjah. The whole Hajj event is known as Hajj-al-Akbar and Umrah is known as Hajj-al-Asghar. All of the Umrah requirements finish in one or two hours within the boundaries of Ka’ba. However, Hajj caravans have to move and stay on the outskirts of Makkah, in the vellies of Mina, Arafat, and Muzdhalifah. All rituals of Hajj take 4 to 5 days to cover. Hajj is the fifth pillar of our faith. It is an obligation on every Muslim who can afford it financially and physically fit to perform once in his/her lifetime.
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) Said that The Prophet (ُPBUH) was asked, “Which is the best deed?” He (ُPBUH) said, “To believe in Allah and His Apostle.” He was then asked, “Which is the next (in goodness)?” He said, “To participate in Jihad in Allah’s Cause.” He was then asked, “Which is the next?” He said, “To perform Hajj al Mabrur. (Bukhari)
Narrated `Aisha :(the Mother of the faithful ) I said, “O Messenger of Allah (ُPBUH))! We consider Jihad as the best deed.” The Rasool Allah (ُPBUH) said, “The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabroor.” (Bukhari)
Spaces for the Hajj 2024 are limited, so we urge you to register yourself as early as possible to ensure your participation in this sacred event. Please contact us today for more information on dates, packages, and registration formalities. We will keep you updated with any authentic policy and information from the Ministry of Hajj of Saudi Arabia.
May Allah grant you an accepted hajj as the reward of Hajj Mabroor, the forgiveness of your sins, and bless you with a fruitful trade. Ameen

Significance of Umrah in Islam
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) once saw a dream that he is performing Umrah in Makkah with his companions. Therefore on the 6 AH (628 CE) the Prophet (PBUH) along with 1400 companions started their journey for Umrah performance.
But at the valley of Hudaibiya 20 miles outskirts of Makkah, pagans of Makkah stopped pilgrims and agreed to sign a treaty between Muslims and Makkans.
The leaders of Makkah agreed that Muslims should go back this year without performing Umrah and would be allowed to perform Umrah by the next year. On that day all Makkans will vacate the city and stay in the surrounding mountains for three days.
Next year on the morning of the 4th day of Dhu al-Qi’dah 7 AH (629 CE), the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions performed Umrah, and chanted following phrase that all pilgrims chant until today.
“I respond to Your call O Allah! I respond to Your call. You have no partner. I respond to Your call. All praise, thanks, and blessings are for You. All sovereignty is for You. Indeed there are no partners with You).”
Umrah is considered one of the best deeds one can perform. Men and women of different ethnic groups, and cultures can make this spiritual journey of faith.
No matter where Muslims are in the world, they visit Makkah to perform Umrah at any time of the year, even in the Hajj months. It considered as minor Hajj, that finished in few hours. Umrah Visas are issued every year starting from the month of MUHARRAM till end of SHAWWAL.
Significance of Hajj in Islam
The Hajj is one of the largest annual gatherings in the world, with over two million pilgrims attending from around 188 countries each year in the Holiest City of Makkah. It falls in the last Islamic lunar calendar month, from 8th to 12th/13th Dhual Hijjah.
As soon pilgrims group arrive in their hotels, manage their luggage in respective residences and flock in front of Ka’ba to perform the first part of their Hajj (Tamattu) ritual.
Encircle 7 rounds around the House of Allah. One start from black stone mounted at the corner of the gate of Kaba. After the completion of 7 rounds, pray 2 rakats at Maqaam Ibrahim and then start Sa’ee, 7 rounds atarting from the mount of Safa all the way to the mount of Marwa.
In most cases Umrah rituals finish in one hours. After the completion of Umrah, pilgrims shave or trim hairs from their head. It ends their bindings of Umrah and can wear their normal cloths, keep their normal activity of life by busy praying 5 daily prayers and making Tawa’fs around Kaba any time of their remaining stay in Makkah.
However on the 8th day of Dhual Hijjah, pilgrims again wear their Ahraams for 2nd part of Hajj, repeating same chanting phrase time to time during their spiritual stay in the tented valleys of Mina and Arafaat.
Hajj is an obligatory pilgrimage for those who can afford it financially and are physically fit. Muslim who can perform Hajj should do it at least once in their life time.
