Heal Hearts and Minds By Sending Those Facing Hardship To Umrah


What are some of life’s hardest tests?

The loss of a child? Of several children? To survive a fire only to realize you are the only one in your family left alive? To live each day for years suffering from crippling depression? To survive through several years of cancer? Torture?

Some of the worlds most tested is poor. There is no way they can afford to go to Umrah for this life-changing trip. So they suffer, crying tears of pain, begging Allah for relief from their own thoughts. Yearning for a way to find solace in their hearts.



People who have endured trials we cannot imagine need spiritual support. They need the journey of a lifetime, to reconnect with Allah: to soothe and heal their pain.

Allah has given many of us in this world tests.

Some of us have the resources to reset our hearts by visiting the beautiful and holy House of Allah in Makkah. Sometimes twice or three times in our lives.

Others who cannot afford it need to go. They need to be cleansed and their hearts made light by the visit to the land where Rasul Allah walked.  

Now there is a plan, and a team, that can make it happen.


The Umrah Fund brings together those who are the most desperate need of a trip to the House of Allah and sends them there with love.  Our team works day and night to make sure that each pilgrim has the kind of experience they dreamed about.

Dozens of people have been sent to Umrah. Grenfell Tower bereaved families, new reverts and torture survivors board the plane with our support.  They return renewed, and ready to face the reality of day to day life. 


One of our pilgrims wrote, 

“Words alone cannot suffice the experience I have had with The Ultimate Healing Umrah Fund. From beginning to end the team members worked endlessly to ensure that each pilgrim was looked after and had the best Umrah experience ever…”

This beautiful campaign flows from concern for those who have been carrying a heavy load. We want to help carry their burdens and help bring them into the light. 

We are all brothers and sisters to each other. We must care, and must do something to help when we see our brother or sister in pain.


The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,


 “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”



 

It is out of care and love that we offer Umrah for those who are often consumed by fear, horrible memories or devastating loss.

We cannot do anything to take their memories away or rewrite their lives, but we can do something that will help them cope day-to-day.

We need your donations to keep our program running, and to add to the small number that we send to Umrah each year.

    These Blessed Ten Days


    When speaking about the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah The Prophet said: “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”– Bukhari.

    Giving charity in these blessed days is highly rewarding. Try to give to as many different causes as you can even if it is a small amount.

    A good way to do this is by signing up to LaunchGood’s 10 Day Dhul Hijjah Challenge. The Challenge allows you to automatically or manually support campaigns by Muslims from around the world, each day for 10 days. Click here to sign up.
