UK Muslims Can Now Book Their Desired Umrah Packages
by Safeena Rahman Travel AddictEvery year, numerous Muslims residing in the United
Kingdom dream of embarking on a journey to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to
perform their Umrah. Although it is not an obligation as compared to the major
pilgrimage of Hajj, Umrah has a special importance in Islam as it is the Sunnah
of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is called the ‘minor pilgrimage’ or
the ‘lesser pilgrimage’ often when comparing it with Hajj. The UK Muslims who
are physically fit and have the financial capability to undertake the journey
from their place of residence to the holy city of Makkah can perform the lesser
pilgrimage at any time during the year.
Over the years, several travel companies have come up
in the UK offering packages for Umrah. The Umrah packages UK travel companies
have provided over the years have helped many of the country’s Muslims in
fulfilling their dream of performing the minor pilgrimage. Some of the tour operators
have an experience of more than a decade in arranging the religious tours of
Umrah and have gained the trust of many. There are certain travel companies
that are relatively new, but provide highly efficient services for the
pilgrims.
The presence of new as well as experienced travel companies
operating Umrah tours has given numerous options for prospective pilgrims of
the UK to choose a suitable tour operator to book their Umrah packages.
However, it is absolutely necessary for them to verify certain aspects before
choosing a travel company for booking the desired packages. The very first
aspect is the authorisation from Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Hajj. Only the
travel agents or companies authorised by the Ministry of Hajj, Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia are allowed to organise the religious tours of Hajj and Umrah.
A proven track record is another essential factor to
be considered before choosing a travel company for booking Umrah packages from UK. Those
looking forward to performing their lesser pilgrimage must know more about the
company they wish to book their package with. It would be of great help if they
can connect with individuals who have booked their packages with the company
previously and get their feedback. Based on their feedback, the prospective
pilgrims can decide whether to book with the company or search for another tour
operator offering packages for Umrah. Besides this, the best approach for UK
Muslims would be to ask a friend or relative who has recently performed Umrah.
Many of the Muslims living in the UK are among the
working class and they have to look for a suitable date during the year when
they can visit the holy city of Makkah to perform their minor pilgrimage.
Planning their dates well in advance can help them immensely in making their
journey easy and affordable. Today, many of the tour operators or travel
companies of the UK offering packages for Umrah have attractive offers for
those booking their packages well in advance. The Muslims of the UK can also
book during the public holidays of the country and perform Umrah with their
entire family.
