All you need to know about Rituals to perform in Umrah and Ziyarah Al Masjid An Nabawi
The call to Makkah has continued to be part of the lives of the Muslim community around the globe. Both Al Kaaba and the immense area of Al-Masjid Al-Haram call the devotees to seek divine forgiveness. First of all, it is noteworthy that to become involved in Umrah or Hajj means that one is prepared to go with clean hearts and souls seeking the mercy of Allah (SWT) in the holy lands. Visiting the holy places in Makkah or Madinah is a magnificent concept that brings happiness to people’s lives, and at Al Maqam Travel, we have a deep understanding of this. The Significance of Umrah and HajjUmrah and Hajj are among Islam’s most important pilgrimage worshiping. Umrah is a significant Islamic journey that can be taken at any point in the year Umrah grants those who go through it with the purification. Hajj, however, is an obligatory statutory duty of the Muslim about which every sane, adult Muslim who has the physical capability should perform the pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. Both trips involve the performance of a set of rituals with reference to the exteriors of the Holy Sanctuary.The Holy SanctuaryThis place is one of the most revered by the Muslims as it holds cultural and historical significance from the Islamic period. Kaaba is the Islamic cubical house of Allah, which was built by the two Prophets Abraham- Ibrahim (AS), assisted by his son Prophet Ismael- Ismail (AS). It is towards this sacred structure that millions of Muslims in various parts of the world turn their faces and prostrate themselves, getting on their knees each day five times at least. Al Kaaba is situated in the middle of the vast square known as Al-Masjid Al-Haram ‘the grand mosque ‘which is a holy site for such activities as worship or meditations. Al Kaaba and the Al-Masjid Al-Haram remain two of the most sacred and vital landmarks of Islamic religion and history, annually visited by millions of Muslims. The Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram: Access and eligibilityLike any other mosque, entry into Al Kaaba itself is not permitted. In the past, the inner area of Al Kaaba was accessible to only a select few officials. However, pilgrims can engage in Tawaf, which is the moving around Al Kaaba, one of the most significant practices performed during both Umrah and Hajj. This extensive area of the mosque is open to all pilgrims to give them a special place to pray and meditate. In this regard, it should be pointed out that during Hajj, different sections of the mosque for Tawaf, Sa’i, and other formalities are assigned to the pilgrims.CTA Book Now!Traveling to Makkah: Vital LogisticsReligious pilgrimage to the Holy Sanctuary should be well planned for.Visa Assistance: We shall assist you in applying for the right visa for Umrah or Hajj.Flight and Accommodation: Take advantage of our experience in arranging favorable flight rates and comfortable stay near the Al-Masjid Al-Haram or anywhere in Makkah or Madinah.Pre-Departure Guidance: Our team offers some detailed information about the rites, taboos and other significant precautionary measures to ensure a fruitful pilgrimage experience.Guidance During Your Visit: We have Makkah representatives of Al Maqam Travel that are always willing to listen and address any issues or inquiries you may have.Additional Considerations:Health Requirements: Check the set standards of health for travel to KSA, including the recommended vaccines.
