Umrah Packages Can Be Booked According to Available Budget





Every year, millions of Muslims living in different corners of the globe embark on their journey to the holy city of Makkah to perform their Umrah. It is also known as the 'lesser pilgrimage' or the 'minor pilgrimage' when compared to the major pilgrimage of Hajj. One of the five pillars of Islam, Hajj is an obligation for all the Muslims and must be performed at least once in their lifetime if they are physically and financially capable. The lesser pilgrimage is not obligatory for Muslims, but since it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), it has great significance for them.

There was a time when Muslims living in the United Kingdom had to depend on a few tour operators located in certain parts of the country for making their journey to Makkah for performing their minor pilgrimage. In recent times, many tour operators or travel companies providing the Islamic religious tours of Hajj and Umrah have come up in various parts of the UK. Some of them offer cheap Umrah packages that make the lesser pilgrimage easy and affordable for many of the country's Muslims who find the journey to Saudi Arabia from their place of residence quite expensive.

Almost all the tour operators or travel companies providing the Islamic religious tours have an online presence today in the form of attractive and user-friendly websites. Muslims of the UK can book their desired packages on such websites by browsing through various sections that have these packages arranged according to their overall costs. They can get cheap Umrah packages by booking their desired packages several months in advance. However, this requires some planning to be done well in advance. Before going ahead with their booking, the UK Muslims must take into account the available budget, the departure dates, and the amount of time they are willing to spend in the holy city of Makkah.

Muslims residing in the UK can also book Umrah packages according to their preferred time of the year.  The websites of travel companies or tour operators offering the Hajj and Umrah tours also have the packages arranged according to certain months, such as December and January. This would be beneficial for those who are looking forward to performing their lesser pilgrimage at a certain time in a particular month that would be the most convenient for them. Some of the prospective pilgrims may also choose certain occasions like Christmas or Easter holidays of UK to accomplish their lesser pilgrimage.

Some of the prospective pilgrims who are not concerned about costs can book any of the high-end packages for their Umrah. They are usually placed in the category of 5-Star packages by some of the travel companies, as the accommodations included in them are arranged in 5-Star hotels located close to the Masjid al-Haram. The accommodation offered in such hotels gives pilgrims greater convenience in getting to the holy mosque and allows them to perform all the rituals with complete peace of mind.

Umrah Packages Have Become Easier to Book in Recent Times

An Islamic pilgrimage undertaken by millions of Muslims every year, Umrah is often referred to as the 'lesser pilgrimage' or the 'minor pilgrimage'. This is mainly due to the fact that the major pilgrimage in Islam is Hajj, which is also among its five pillars. It is mandatory for all the able-bodied and financially capable Muslims to perform this pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. However, there is no such obligation with regards to Umrah. It can be performed at any time during the year and is usually accomplished within a few hours. There was a time when Muslims across the world had to rely on the local travel agent to get their journey to the holy city of Makkah arranged. As they rarely had other options to choose from, they had to go with the total cost quoted by their agent. However, today the individuals intending to perform their lesser pilgrimage have several options in terms of Umrah packages and the tour operators providing them. Considering t...

Book Umrah Packages in UK in Advance for Greater Savings

Every year, many Muslims from different parts of the United Kingdom make their journey to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, which is also known as the 'lesser pilgrimage' or 'minor pilgrimage'. It is slightly different from the major pilgrimage of Hajj, which is obligatory for all Muslims and among Islam's five pillars. The lesser pilgrimage is not compulsory and can be performed at any time of the year, while the major pilgrimage is performed in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah.

As the long journey involved a significant amount of cost, many of them had to keep postponing their plans for performing the pilgrimage. In recent times, many of t...

Getting Ramadan Umrah Packages Has Become Much Easier Today

Image
Ramadan is the month when the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through Archangel Jibreel (A.S) and is, therefore, a holy month for Muslims across the world. During this particular month, they fast from dawn until sunset and refrain from sinful behaviour. The name 'Ramadan' for this month was derived from the Arab word 'Ramida' or 'ar-Ramad', which literally translates as 'dryness' or 'extreme heat'. Fasting during this holy month is compulsory for all adult Muslims. However, those suffering from a certain illness, the elderly, the chronically ill, menstruating women, women in their pregnancy, and the women who need to breastfeed their children are the exceptions. The importance of Umrah in Ramadan can be understood from an event narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him). According to the narration, a woman from Madinah was asked by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) the reason for not g...
