ʿUmrah is filled with countless moments and opportunities to increase your īmān and connection to Allah. It is a practical training in self-discipline, striving against the soul in pursuit of higher ideals and ultimately nurturing taqwā.
ʿUmrah is a unique act of worship involving every part of your body. Every requirement and component of ʿumrah has its own impact and experience. Every action and statement has its own form of servitude (ʿubūdiyyah) to Allah (subḥānahū wa taʿālā). The journey through ʿumrah is remarkable. Each part is a unique milestone, bringing its own sweetness (ḥalāwah) and joy.
The greater objectives of ʿumrah can only be achieved if you internalise the wisdom and inner secrets of each step of the journey. Take time to pause, reflect, and extract the lessons from each ritual. These lessons can transform your life upon return and inspire you to live a life with Allah.
This series of articles will take you on a journey through ʿumrah, exploring the secrets and significance of each ritual.
