Eliminating poverty
Let me tell you, Umrah is one of the most amazing acts of devotion you can do, and it’s a Sunnah of none other than Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself! It’s not just a feel-good spiritual experience, it can also lead to some serious worldly blessings. When someone asked Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about the benefits of Umrah, he stated “Perform Hajj and Umrah consecutively, for they remove poverty and sin as hollers remove impurity from iron.” Imagine having all your financial worries disappear, just like that. Performing Umrah means dedicating your time and money to please Allah, and in return, He increases your Rizq (sustenance) and blesses you with wealth.
Opportunity to erase past mistakes
We all make mistakes, it’s just part of being human. Your chance to purify your soul and body from the burden of past sins is by doing the Umrah pilgrimage. Think about it like a spiritual fresh start, a new beginning. Once you complete Umrah, your soul will be as pure as a newborn baby, and Allah promises to reward you, forgive your sins, and grant you the highest place in Jannah (paradise). Don’t let your past mistakes weigh you down, take the chance to start fresh with Umrah.
Deepens one’s devotion to Allah SWT
Life can get crazy. Between work, family, and trying to keep up with everything, it’s easy to let your faith slip. But you know what can help you get back on track? Umrah! This pilgrimage is like hitting the reset button on your faith. Going there with pure intentions will leave you feeling more connected to Allah SWT on every step of your pilgrimage.
The merit of Umrah is comparable to Jihad
Jihad, at its core, means to put in the effort and struggle for Allah. It’s the ultimate act of devotion in Islam. In today’s world, there’s not much opportunity for that kind of struggle. The closest thing to earning that kind of reward is Umrah.
