A Journey of Cleansing and Renewal
Umrah presents a unique opportunity for Muslims to purify their previous sins, or start life anew. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "From one Umrah to the next is an expiation for what happened between them," (Bukhari). In this saying there is notice of the purification via Umrah and showing the need to always be performing Umrah in order to keep the spiritual renewal part of life a priority.

Deepening One's Connection with Allah
When a Muslim sets out for Umrah, you naturally disconnect from everyday distractions and devoted to the purpose of getting closer to Allah. One will experience a continuous state of humility, gratitude, and overall peace that strengthens the desire of faith and devotion.

Embracing Unity and Equality
The sanctity of Mecca brings pilgrims near and far together in simple white clothing as a manner in which to symbolize the equality incorporated into the act of pilgrimage and believing in Allah. There is a sense of unity that builds on the concept of a global Muslim brotherhood whose bond is appreciated regardless of race, nationality or social stature.

Reflecting on Personal Development
On a more personal level, the act of performing Umrah brings about self-reflection and development. Many pilgrims have a renewed zest for life, an intention to self-improvement and a greater appreciation for faith.

An Impact of Years
The spiritual gains of the pilgrimage of Umrah can be lasting. For many, the journey has a profound effect on their lives that ignites a sense of continued dedication and a stronger relationship with their faith.
