Blessed by all Muslims, Mecca-the
holiest city in Islam-welcomes people all over the world to journey on the
spiritual path of Umrah. Cleanse your soul as you reconnect with your faith,
experiencing deep peace while undertaking the rites of Umrah; but what awaits
you in Mecca?
Amongst these are ideas on the
best things you can do in Mecca during your Umrah and how Kaaba Travel Care can
be your trusted companion in this life-changing experience.
Top Activities in Mecca During
Umrah
Tawaf (Circumambulation): Tawaf is the core of Umrah. You move around the holy Kaaba seven times. For anyone seeing the majestic Kaaba for the first time, nothing else can be quite as thrilling. Moving counter-clockwise, walk and say prayers and breathe in the spiritual environment in the air.
Sa'i, or going between Safa
and Marwa: Thereafter, do Sa'i. It is a running between the two hills of
Safa and Marwa seven times after Tawaf is complete. It represents the frantic
running around of Hagar, the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), in
the quest for water for her son Ismail. Sa'i exemplifies perseverance and
trustworthiness in times of hardship.
Zamzam Well and Drinking the
Holy Water: The Zamzam Well lies in the Masjid al-Haram or the Grand
Mosque. Zamzam is thought to possess healing powers, so drinking from this
sacred well is a humbling experience to get associated with the historical
importance of this miraculous source.
Stand at Arafah: Pilgrims
go to the plains of Arafah on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah. Although part and
parcel of Hajj, this is also highly recommended during Umrah. Standing in
prayer at Arafah is an emotionally charged experience as Muslims of all walks
of life gather for supplication and reflection.
Mu'zdalifah and Mina: From
Arafah, pilgrims will go to Muzdalifah and Mina, where they will carry out
special activities in prayer and the gathering of stones for the throwing
ritual. These places are mainly associated with Hajj; however, most Umrah
visitors also visit there for added religious merit.
Visitation of Prophet's Mosque
in Madinah: Many pilgrims wish to
prolong their visit beyond Umrah and have the feel of prayer at the tomb of the
Prophet in the second holiest city in Islam, Madinah. Further reminiscing about
the historical places in the city in which the life of the Prophet was spent
enhances the spiritual value of your Umrah.
