Umrah can be done in Makkah at any time of the year. Since Umrah is a sunnah Ibadah, Muslims from all over the world travel to London and other major cities to do the rites on their own. You can complete the Umrah pilgrimage by Cheap december Umrah Packages in a matter of hours (or days, depending on your schedule), giving you plenty of time in the Kingdom before your visa expires. When this occurs, most believers choose to perform Ziyarath at the sacred sites.
The Umrah itinerary includes these 12 sacred sites.
Masjid al-Haram
Masjid-al-Haram, also known as the Grand Mosque of Makkah, is situated in the Saudi Arabian city of Makkah. For Muslims, this is the holiest and largest mosque ever built. Having the Holy Kaabah inside is proof enough of its religious significance to Muslims. Hajj and Umrah pilgrims visit this site to perform their religious rites.
Additionally, Masjid-al-Haram also houses;
• Zamzam aye.
• Maqam-e-Ibrahim, or “Ibrahim’s Station.”
• The mountains of Safah and Marwah.
Jannat al-Baqi Cemetery
Many of the Holy Prophet’s (SAWW) closest friends and family members are buried in Madinah’s Jannat al-Baqi cemetery.
Mina
Often referred to simply as “Tent City.” A few kilometres to the east of Makkah City is a place called Mina. Rami-al-Jamarat (the stoning of the devil) is one of the most prominent rites performed by Hajj pilgrims during their stay in this area.
There are about one hundred thousand Teflon-covered, air-conditioned tents there to accommodate pilgrims during the Hajj.
Masjid al-Nabawi (SAWW)
Madinah, Saudi Arabia, is home to the Prophet’s Mosque. It is the second-largest mosque in the world and the second-holiest mosque in Islam.
The site also contains the Roza-e-Rasool (SAWW), the final resting place of our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW). Those who wish to pray, make dua, or send Salawat to Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) do so here.
Mount Arafat
Mount Arafat is a rocky outcrop near Makkah that is extremely significant to the Hajj ritual. On the ninth of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul-Hijjah, Hajj pilgrims gather here to pray and fast for the duration of the day. It’s a necessary part of the Hajj and won’t be complete without it.
During his final pilgrimage, the Holy Prophet (SAWW) also gave the now-famous “farewell seron.”
Quba Mosque
The Prophet (SAWW) erected Masjid-e-Quba as the first mosque to honour Islam. The Holy Quran also makes reference to the Quba mosque, which is only a short distance from Masjid al-Nabawi.
Jannat-al-Mualla
Jannat-al-Mualla is a holy cemetery in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, where Hazrat Muhammad’s (SAWW) wife, grandpa, and numerous ancestors are buried.
Qiblatayn Mosque
While leading a prayer in Masjid-e-Qiblatayn (the Mosque of the Two Qiblas) to shift the direction of the Qibla from Bait-al-Muqadas in Jerusalem to the Holy Kaabah in Makkah, the revelation of the Quran came to Prophet (SAWW).
Uhud Mountain
Uhud Mountain, located in Madinah, is the site of the pivotal battle of Uhud, a crucial confrontation between the early Muslims and the Quraysh. Many of the Uhud martyrs are buried in the area, making it a suitable destination for Ziarat.
In conclusion, these are the 12 sites you must see on your Umrah tour.
