Umrah has a lot of benefits, rewards, and blessings because it is the best Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). More than two million Muslims do this every year as a form of worship. Umrah is a religious trip to the House of Allah, which is the Kaaba. In return, the pilgrims are given gifts.
Umrah is a bit expensive right now, but travel agencies offer Ramadan Umrah Packages From London UK with Flights so that everyone can do it.
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) went on four Umrahs during his lifetime. Here are some of the benefits and rewards of making the Umrah.
Being a guest of Allah: Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) said that Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) said that there are three kinds of people who are guests of Allah: the Ghazi, the Hajji, and the Mu'tamir. Hadith №2626, Sunan An-Nasai, vol.3.
Ghazi means "the fighter in Jihad."
Hajji is the name for the person who goes on Hajj.
Mu'tamir — the pilgrim performing Umrah.
Umrah gives us a chance to be holy guests of the Great Creator of the whole universe, who is also the King of all Kingdoms. On the other hand, just remember that Allah is the host, and what a great host He is. Umrah is a magical time to be close to Allah and all of his good things. If someone goes to Mecca and does Umrah, they will also feel grateful, calm, and at peace with themselves.
Getting rid of poverty:
Ibn e Abbas (RA) said that Allah's Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) had said, "Do Hajj and Umrah right after each other, because they get rid of poverty and sin like bellows get rid of rust on iron."
Sins are paid for:
Sin is part of being human, but Umrah gives us a chance to get rid of our sins and clean our body and soul from a lot of sins we've done in the past.
People say that Abu Hurairah (RA) said that Allah's Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said:
From one Umrah to the next, everything that happened in between is paid for, and the Hajj Al-Mabrur brings no less than Heaven as a reward. Hadith №2630, Sunan An-Nasai, Vol.3 and Hadith №2888, Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol.4.
This particular reward is just great. God will praise you and forgive your sins just because you did the Umrah. Where does it happen? Hence. If Allah gives you the time and opportunity to do Umrah, you should be very serious about this chance to earn a reward.
For some Muslims, this is the same as Jihad:
Abu Hurairah (RA) said that Allah's Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "Umrah and Hajj are the Jihad of the old, the young, the weak, and the women." — Hadith №2627, Sunan An-Nasai, Vol.3.
Jihad is one of the best things people have ever done. There are many kinds of jihad. Jihad is one of the best things a Muslim can do, but not everyone gets to do it. Jihad is important enough to kill for.
Hazrat Muhammad said, "Peace be on him."
Umrah and Hajj are ways for old people, young people, weak people, and women to do Jihad.
The reward for Umrah is the same as the reward for Jihad.
Build up our Eman:
When someone goes to perform Umrah with the true intention of doing it for Allah's sake and does all the rituals of Umrah without making any mistakes, it brings him closer to Allah. If someone does Umrah, it strengthens his faith. Strong faith is the most interesting thing a believer has, and without it, he is just like anyone else. He needs to remember that his Eman is what makes him special in this life.
