What is Umrah Ziyarah?
Ziyarat is an Arabic word meaning ‘VISIT’. It refers to visiting holy sites, shrines, tombs and sacred places to gain spiritual benefits, paying respects, or drawing inspiration. In simple words, Ziyarat is a form of pilgrimage that is not obligatory but is highly rewarding and strengthens our connection with spirituality, faith and inheritance of Islamic traditions. Umrah Ziyarat refers to visiting holy sites in Mecca and Madinah where the roots of Islam began and each corner holds a story from the past. Our professional team make sure that you enjoy a memorable and unforgettable time after performing Hajj and Umrah.
Why is Umrah Ziyarah important?
Though Umrah Ziyarah is not obligatory, but holds immense significance and spiritual rewards for pilgrims. Visiting the sacred sites in Mecca and Madinah offers a chance to break away from daily life and focus on spirituality, experiencing the sense of unity and faith. The journey also fosters a deep connection with background context of Islam and sacrifices of early Muslims. It strengthens the faith, sense of spirituality and creates lasting memories. The Umrah Ziyarah often includes visiting the masjid Quba, the Cave of Hira, the Cave of Thawr, and other prominent monuments of Islamic heritage.
How to plan your Ziyarah tours?
Planning your Ziyarah tours is all about managing and arranging transport from your hotel to the places. We offer complete assistance from arranging transportation to providing guides with our exclusive Umrah packages UK to secure a spiritually enriched and fulfilling pilgrimage. We offer the option to use pre-arranged tours or plan your own self-made trips. However, navigating the unfamiliar places can turn out to be exhausting and make the experience worse and tiring. To avoid these situations, we offer comprehensive support and guidance with expert drivers, convenient transport (private & share) and religious guides. If you need comfort and guidance, a tour service is better but if you prefer travelling alone, a self-guided visit may suit you more.
Sacred sites in Mecca
Mecca is serving as more than a city of prayers. The city holds the places that carry the tracks of reliance, belief and faith that echo through history. Islamic Travel Agency provides visits to prominent and significant sites. Here are some of these places we take you.
Masjid Al-Haram:
Masjid Al-Haram is the heart of Mecca and is also known as the great mosque of Mecca. It holds the Kaaba in its centre, drawing the attention of millions of Muslims every year to visit and perform the sacred obligation. Stepping into the masjid reminds you of the holiness and spiritual significance of habitation.
Jabal al-Noor:
Jabal Nour or the cave of Light is a highly estimated mountain standing in silence. The place is respected and spiritually uplifting being the place where Prophet Muhammad PBUH received his first revelation. The Prophet Hazrat Muhammad PBUH used the cave to reflect and meditate. Pilgrims often visit this place because of its unmatched spiritual richness.
Mina& Muzdalifah:
Mina and Muzdalifah are significant and crucial sites to visit in Mecca. Umrah pilgrims stay in Mina and Muzdalifah before entering the sacred cities, and spend the night in the open air. These two sites hold immense significance in Islamic heritage. Pilgrims reflect and seek mercy from the creator of Allah SWT while staying at Mina and Muzdalifah.
Jannat al’ Mualla:
It is a highly sacred place to visit after performing Hajj and Umrah. The place is a resting home for many beloved relatives and companions of Hazrat Muhammad PBUH. Pilgrims visit the place and walk with respect and learn the lessons of life, loss, and undoubted faith.
Ziyarat places in Madinah
The City of Madinah is filled with peace and blessings. Our Umrah packages offer visits to prominent places in the city adding more meaning to your spiritual journey. Here are some of the places you're going to visit.
Masjid Nabawi (S.A.W):
The prophet’ mosque is one of the most significant and important places to visit. It is the second holiest masjid after masjid al Haram, holding the memories of Hazrat Muhammad PBUH. It is the place where the last Prophet of Allah is sleeping with his companions. Pilgrims visit this place, pray, reflect and spend some quiet time in here.
Masjid Quba:
Masjid Quba is the first-ever masjid built in Islamic history. The Prophet Hazrat Muhammad PBUH built the mosque with his companions to worship and seek Allah’s forgiveness. Walking into the mosque feels like stepping into the early days of Islam carrying hope, faith, and something pure and lasting.
Masjid Qiblatain:
Masjid Qiblatain, also known as the masjid of two qiblahs. This is where Muslims receive the command of changing Qibla while performing the prayer led by the beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad PBUH. Visiting the masjid reminds us to stay positive, have faith and lead a spiritually guided life.
Jannat al-Baqi:
Jannat al Baqi is the oldest cemetery in Madinah holding the remains of many beloved family members and companions of Hazrat Muhammad PBUH. The place is the centre of respect and reverence. It teaches us the value of humility, trust and the beauty of faith.
How much time do you need to perform Ziyarat?
Mecca:
The complete tour to Mecca takes about half a day. However the overall time depends upon the number of sites and the overall distance between them. The sites in Mecca are spread along the city so it is best to travel early morning or late afternoon to avoid heat and exhaustion.
Madinah:
The Ziyarat in Madinah can be completed within 3-4 hours. If you have children and elderly pilgrims with your group, it is better to start your visit early in the morning or in the late afternoon to avoid crowds and stress. It is important to respect the visiting hours and dress code.
