March 6th - 14th*

Experience

the Sacred Journey of Umrah

in the Blessed Month of Ramadān

The Prophet ﷺ said, "'Umrah during Ramadān is equal to Hajj (pilgrimage)." Or said, "Equal to the performance of Hajj with me." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. This Hadith emphasizes the immense spiritual value of this act during this holy month. Imagine standing in the sacred precincts of Mecca during the days of Ramadān, when the blessings and mercy of Allāh ﷻ flow abundantly.
The long days of fasting and extended nightly prayers during Ramadān combining Umrah with these acts of devotion allows individuals to maximize their spiritual growth. The act of performing Umrah itself is a way to draw closer to Allāh ﷻ. When done during Ramadān, it can deepen one's connection with the divine and increase one's consciousness of Allāh ﷻ.
Umrah during Ramadān offers a unique opportunity for Muslims to reap abundant spiritual rewards, seek forgiveness, and deepen their connection with Allāh ﷻ. It is a cherished experience that allows individuals to grow spiritually and strengthen their faith in the holiest of months.
Don't miss out on this exceptional opportunity to partake in the divine blessings of Ramadān through Umrah. Book your place with ISRA Foundation today and immerse yourself in the unparalleled spiritual atmosphere of Ramadān, as you seek Allāh’s grace and blessings in the holy city of Mecca. Join us on this transformative journey, and let the spiritual significance of Umrah during Ramadān elevate your faith and devotion.

Testimonials ----------------------

“ISRA is an incredible provider with Mufti Wasim at the helm. From the accommodations to the spiritual education, I never once felt that I wasn’t cared for or that my needs weren’t met. With a mixed group of elders to high school students, towards the end you feel like you’re on a big family trip because of how welcoming the environment is. I personally felt like I was in a time machine following the journey of the Sahaba from their homes in Mecca and Madinah to their graves in Jordan. There’s never a dull moment and I highly recommend ISRA whenever you visit the House of Allah or the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, especially if it’s your first time. ISRA helps you build a connection to the lands of Prophets to where you cannot wait to go back.”

-Adeel Ghayasuddin
“My umrah trip with Isra was pure Awesomeness! Mufti Wasim was an extraordinary group leader who infused us with a wealth of knowledge, it was a feast for our minds to be able be in his company to learn and understand the in depth history and spirituality of the most sacred lands on earth Makkah & Madina 💕”

-Saleha Siddiqi
“Going on my first few visits to the holy cities with ISRA was a beautiful experience ٱلْـحَـمْـدُ للهِ. Mufti Wasim took such personal care of everyone in the group from the youngest children in the group to the teens, married couples and those in their later years. Everything from food, transportation, site visits, fiqh questions etc. was completely taken care of & Mufti Wasim was accessible to every single person for whatever they needed. The group itself was small enough to where everyone felt they knew each other and got close to one another. It is almost guaranteed that you will find not just one but so many of your closest friends through the umrah group while you’re there and well afterwards. From hearing talks and khatiras by Mufti Wasim in our masjids here to in front of the kabah & on the ground of Masjid Al Nabawi is a completely different experience. If anyone is wondering who to go with for Umrah I’d 100% recommend ISRA for the most versatile, immersive & well packaged experience. Keep us in your duas.”

-Isra Mohammed
“Mufti Wasim is an incredible guide who not only explained the history, significance, and various rewards & merits of Medina & Makkah, but he was able to pierce our hearts with his spiritual attachment and love for these places. The way he was able to guide us and show the places where Habib ﷺ used to walk by, made you feel like you were actually there! Under the experienced guidance of Mufti Wasim, we visited so many indescribable places such as the Two Holy Mosques, Masjid Quba, Masjid Qiblatayn, Location of the Battle of Uhud & Badr, Blessed Wells, Museums, and much more. Although the trip’s purpose is spiritual, it was nice that Mufti Wasim also knew logistics very well. This included tips on making the trip easy, where to find the best food, and to how to get around Medina & Makkah.”

-Bilal Qazi
"Everyone needs a retreat from the dunya, something to recalibrate their religious compass, and there is no better way to do this than to visit the holy lands. Umrah gave my life a greater meaning and a greater purpose and going to umrah with ISRA has been life changing. Even if you go with strangers, the people who you visit the House of Allah ﷻ with, the people who see you in your most vulnerable state, the people with who you walk where the Prophet ﷺ walked, the people who you cry with, make dua with, learn life long lessons with, enter a part of Jannah with—you leave those lands as family. Nothing is more beautiful than that bond and that feeling, being there for the sake of Allah ﷻ with people who you love for the sake of Allah ﷻ and to visit the one He loves and that we love ﷺ. Being there feels like I’m finally home and that I never ever want to leave. Nothing else matters but being there and knowing that you were invited by Allah ﷻ and that everyone else around has also been blessed with the best invitation. There is no worse heartbreak than leaving the holy cities and saying goodbye to Madinah and Makkah and praying to be invited back home soon. It feels like a part of you has been left there, waiting for you to come back and be complete and whole again. Even if it seems impossible, just make the sincere intention to visit the House of Allah ﷻ and He will make a way for you in ways you can’t even imagine. May Allah ﷻ accept from us all and invite us all to His home over and over again آمِيْن."

"I've never been to a place where I felt like I didn't want to leave. Even as an international student, I am used to moving from place to place with no real emotional attachments to a place. For me to feel attached to a place, it's because of the people. However, this rule came to have one exception. That is when I went to Umrah. Madina is a jewel, a place that made me feel like I never wanted to leave. I wish I will get the honor of one day serving that city to be deserving of what it's given me. I've witnessed many sunrises, but none of them beat the one on top masjid Nabawi. Mecca was a transformative experience, pushing myself in ibada with no exhaustion and without feeling like "ok that's enough", I realized there the true sense of when Allah said: وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me. Truly I felt like I was complete and my mind, body, limbs and every fiber of mind knew what it had to do without feeling tired, like we do in Ramadan."

"I would highly recommend going to Umrah with ISRA Foundation. Seeing the places mentioned in the Seerah is surreal and a life changing experience. I would definitely go to umrah with ISRA again!"

- Tehreem Riaz
"Umrah. It’s the perfect escape from this dunya and get a glimpse of peace and full serenity. Umrah has changed my life completely. It’s given my life a sense of direction, a purpose, it’s giving me hope & strength and it’s made my life worth living. Every time I go for umrah I feel whole and alive. I am doing what we are meant to do in this dunya: worship our Lord. Umrah is taking a step towards Allah ﷻ and seeing the reward right in front of you. Umrah is a life changing experience. It’s worth every penny. If you want to completely transform your life & get close to Allah ﷻ and genuinely love your religion– then go to umrah. If you are struggling in life, go to umrah. It doesn’t matter where in life you are, it’s always a good time to pack your bags and take a trip to Allah’s home. This is one decision you will always remember for the rest of your life."

- Atka Quraishi
"Alhamdulillah, a blessed experience despite getting sick during the trip. Group was very comforting, supportive, and wholesome, and I've made friends and memories that will stay with me forever. Mufti Sab and his team were very passionate and supportive to all their hajis."
