Umrah is one of the best Sunnahs that the Prophet Muhammad did in his life (P.B.U.H). Umrah has a lot of rewards and benefits in Islam because it is a unique way for Muslims to clean their souls. Umrah is a Sunnat-e-Muakkadah of our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) that is not required in Islam and can be done at any time of the year. Most of the people prefer to book Umrah Packages.

Here are some unexpected benefits of Umrah.

1. Being Allah's guest

As Abu Hurairah (RA) told it, the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H. ) said:

"Allah's guests are the Ghazi, who fights in Jihad, the Hajj, who goes on the Hajj pilgrimage, and the Mutamir, who goes on the Umrah pilgrimage."

-Hadith No. 2626, Book of the Rituals of Hajj, Sunan An-Nasa'i, Vol. 3.

It is such a blessing and a wonderful reward to be a guest of Allah, and the Almighty will treat you like a king or queen and give you a lot of gifts for your love. So, when Muslims do Umrah, they feel a certain amount of inner harmony, soul fulfilment, and restriction from the other world.

During the Umrah trip, it is a great reward for every Muslim to be a guest of Allah. Muslims can get the Umrah Packages With Flights from any travel agency and make their trip as cheap as possible.

2. Eradicate of Sins and Poverty

Ibn Abbas (RA) says that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said, "Do Hajj and Umrah right after each other. They get rid of poverty and sin just like bellows get rid of rust on iron."

Getting out of poverty is probably a sudden reward for Muslims who do Umrah. But millions of Muslims from all over the world don't just go to get rid of their sins and poverty. This reward privilege comes as an added bonus, which is the real benefit of the world to come.

3. Be the guest of Prophet's (P.B.U.H) homeland

In Madina, where the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) was born and raised, he and his companions dealt with the problems of the Muslim Ummah and put together the Holy Quran. For Muslims, Madina is also a Holy city for this reason. Since it is close to Makkah, worshippers who go to perform Umrah can also go to Madina and mark their presence at Masjid-e-Nabwi.

4. Similar to Jihad for specific Muslims

For some Muslims, the reward for going on Umrah is the same as the reward for going on Jihad. In a Hadith told by Abu Hurairah (RA), the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H. )once said, "Hajj and Umrah are the Jihad of the old, the young, the weak, and the women."

Jihad, in addition to the five basic pillars of Islam, is also seen as the sixth and most important pillar of Islam, and it leads to great rewards. People believe that anyone who dies while taking part in Jihad goes straight to heaven and gets all of the rewards and gifts.
