When hearts meet on the path of faith and souls unite in a profound journey that transcends the boundaries of time and place, talk begins about one of the greatest spiritual journeys that a believer experiences in his life. It is the Umrah journey. It is not just a journey to a holy place, but rather a journey towards spiritual elevation and closeness to the Creator, where faith is manifested in every step you take towards the Sacred House and hearts open to receive the light of guidance and reassurance.
Your journey begins with entering Mecca, the city that embraces the Holy House and carries within it the fragrance of Islamic history since the time of the Prophet Abraham, peace be upon him. Every step towards the Holy Kaaba simulates the return of the soul to its Creator, as the heart is filled with a feeling of awe and reverence when seeing the Holy House for the first time. A feeling of reassurance and humility then surrounds the person and he begins to fly in an atmosphere of inner peace that remains with him throughout his stay in this pure land.
Performing Umrah rituals
The rituals of Umrah begin with the intention and Ihram. The intention is the first pillar of Umrah and begins with the intention of entering into the ritual, where you must resolve to perform Umrah in your heart. Ihram is a symbol of purity and detachment from worldly pleasures, and it is necessary to wear the special clothes for it. Before Ihram, it is recommended to wash, clean the body, and use perfume. Then you move to circumambulate the Kaaba seven times in a counterclockwise direction. Once you arrive in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, you head to the Grand Mosque to begin circumambulation, where you feel the universe revolving around you in a scene that reflects the oneness of God and the uniqueness of His worship. After circumambulation, you perform the Sa’i between Safa and Marwa. Here you remember Hajar’s striving between the mountains of Safa and Marwa in search of water for her son Ismail, peace be upon him, so that the Sa’i is a symbol of patience and trust in God’s mercy. It begins by ascending Mount Safa, then heading to Marwa and covering the distance seven times. Finally, shaving or shortening comes as the last step in performing the rituals of Umrah as an expression of purity and spiritual renewal. Men shave or shorten their entire head. After this act, a new page begins in your life filled with faith and certainty.
While performing the rituals of Umrah, you experience a state of calm and psychological serenity that reflects a deep connection with the Creator. This experience restores the soul’s purity and the self’s balance. It is not just physical actions, but rather an internal journey that renews the soul and nourishes the heart with faith. In every corner of the Sacred House, you find a reason to contemplate and reflect on the greatness of the Creator and His ability to create this vast universe and the secrets and miracles it contains.
Return with peace of mind
As the journey approaches its end, you feel a profound change in your soul. You return home with a reassured soul, full of certainty and contentment, carrying in your heart memories, an unforgettable feeling, and spiritual experiences that will remain engraved in your conscience. It is a journey that gives you inner strength to help you face life’s challenges and troubles with confidence and faith.
