By umrahme | Published on Feb 28, 2024

Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, is a time for spiritual reflection and devotion. During this month, people indulge in intense prayers, reflect on improving themselves, and abstain from worldly matters as much as they can.  

During this month, millions of Muslims around the world embark on the journey of Umrah, a pilgrimage to the holy city of Makkah. Performing Umrah during Ramadan holds special significance as the rewards and blessings are multiplied manifold.   

For those planning to perform Umrah in Ramadan 2024, it is important to understand the best times to travel, so that they can meticulously plan their journey, booking the best value Umrah package, and make the most out of this sacred experience.

Rewards For Performing Umrah in Ramadan 

Al Bukhari (1782) and Muslim (1256) narrated that, 

Ibn ‘Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to a woman from among the Ansar – Ibn ‘Abbas mentioned her name, but I forgot it –  

What kept you from performing Hajj with us?”  

She said, “We only have two camels and the father of her son, and her son had gone for Hajj on one camel, and he left us the other camel so that we could carry water on it.” 

He said, “When Ramadan comes, go for Umrah, for Umrah in (that month) is equivalent to Hajj.” 

This implies that the blessings obtained from Umrah during Ramadan are equivalent to the blessings of fulfilling the obligatory duty of Hajj. However, this does not excuse individuals from their obligation to perform Hajj.

If you are planning to perform Umrah during Ramadan but have not decided on a specific date, the first 20 nights of Ramadan provide a calmer environment, compared to the last 10 nights of Ramadan, when pilgrims do not want to miss the Blessed Night (Layla tul Qadr). 

People busy themselves with Taraweeh and extra prayers at Masjid Al Haram feeling a wholesome experience, that cannot be felt anywhere else in the world.
