Financial and Social Benefits of Umrah

Umrah is a great blessing of Allah Almighty. It is such an Ibadah that involves the physical, financial and emotional contributions of a Muslim. When a person spends its bodily as well as economical abilities that Allah has gifted him/her for umrah, the god rewards back with benefits that are much superior. It’s an exceptional approach to seek forgiveness from Allah. That’s why millions of Muslims pilgrims travel thousands of miles every year through the source of their Umrah packages all inclusive to perform Umrah. 

The financial and social befits of Umrah are infinite. You won’t be able to count the blessings of Allah Almighty which are showered upon the pilgrims. However, here’s a brief idea. 

When a person visits the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, where our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), his companions and followers used to live, it provides a change in perspective. The spiritualty that resides there is unexplainable. One can only imagine and experience it while being there. Since umrah offers you a channel to go for Ziarat as well, a pilgrim always returns home with greater zeal and enthusiasm for Islam. Ultimately, strengthening one’s Imaan.

When hundreds of thousands of Muslim pilgrims gather in Haram, a message of Muslim unity and peace is perceived. Despite hailing from different nationalities, language differences, contrasting cultures, and traditions, all the Muslims unite under one relation – Islam. That is, no one possesses any superiority over the other person. Everyone is equal in front of Allah almighty. 

Umrah provides you with a shift in perspective. You start seeing the worldly life in a different manner and become more concerned about the afterworld. Consequently, you become more polite and humble. You know everything here is temporary. Let it be anger or love, money or fame, nothing is going to benefit you. The only thing that would be useful is good deeds. Hence, the feeling of compassion for others and the willingness to do charity automatically increases. 

It remains narrated in Islam that Umrah removes poverty and sins. One who is going through financial difficulties can go for umrah, perform the rituals, seek the blessings of Allah almighty and return with its pockets filled with whatever he/she desires!

One of the many virtues of Umrah is that it provides you with mental and spiritual satisfaction. No matter what sort of problems you are dealing with, once you arrive in the sacred cities of Makkah and Madinah, you forget about all that. Therefore, when you are at peace with your mind, your bodily strength also increases. Consequently, enhanced mental and physical health.
