Value Of Umrah In The Holy Month Of Ramadan


Umrah is the little pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Umrah obligation can be done at any time of the year, outside the Hajj period. The necessary period of performing the small pilgrimage is maximum 2-3 hours. So, when you are in the state of Ihram, you can show numbers of Umrah.

This little pilgrimage has great importance to Muslims all over the world. Umrah is not obligatory like Hajj, but it holds enormous influence and is considered a sacred ritual. It can erase our previous sins. Most of us, prefer to perform the spiritual journey in the month of Ramadan.

Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) explains the enormous importance of the Umrah. However, Allah almighty love only those people who sacrifice their wealth and time in his path. The person who did the Umrah during Ramadan did not fulfil his obligation to perform the pilgrimage for the sake of Allah.

Importance Of Umrah In Ramadan
The holy month of Ramadan is significant for Allah Almighty, His Prophet (PBUH) and Muslims all over the world. One of the virtues of this month is the realization of Umrah because it equates to a hajj. According to Ibn Abbas (R.A), the Prophet (PBUH) said, "An Umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj in my company." (Bukhari and Muslim).

The value of performing Umrah in Ramadan is shown from the following Hadis. Meanwhile, Ibn Abbas (R.A) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to a woman among the Ansar: "Who prevented you from realizing the Hajj with us?" she said: we did not only two camels and the son, and his father left for the Hajj on a camel, and they left us second so we could carry water. At that point, the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told him: "When Ramadan arrives, leave for Umrah, it is equivalent to Hajj. "

However, the question remains about the meaning of this Hadis is the Umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj? Undeniably, the Ramadan Umrah does not replace the obligatory pilgrimage. The hadith means that they are similar regarding reward, but not regarding achievement.

Final Verdict
It resembles that Umrah in Ramadan is equal to Hajj. Meanwhile, some of the Hajj pilgrimages is not performed during the Umrah, such as the Dua to Arafat, the stoning at the point of the devil and the sacrifice place.

Although they are equivalent to rewards, Umrah and Hajj are not equal regarding achievement.  Take advantage of Eiman Travels offers during Ramadan at attractive prices.
