Facts You Should Clarify About Umrah With Madinah First

 In the history of Islam, the first Umrah was done in 629 CE, and since then, millions and millions of Muslims have done Umrah. Umrah is a voluntary Ibadah that can be done at any time of the year except during Hajj. Because of this, there is never a quiet day in Makkah and Madinah. Every day, people from all over the world come to the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah to do the Umrah via booking Cheap umrah packages Birmingham if you are living in UK.

Umrah pilgrims can enter Saudi Arabia through either the Jeddah airport or the Madinah airport, since Makkah doesn't have an airport. Makkah doesn't have an airport because the city is always full of pilgrims. If travellers also landed there, the crowds would be too big to handle. Pilgrims usually choose to land at the airport in Madinah because it is so easy to get around from there. Also, the hassle can be avoided, and there will be a lot fewer people than at the airport in Jeddah. Because of this, Madinah is a good place for the pilgrims to land.

Not only can you avoid the crowds if you land at Madinah airport, but you can also use it to get your religious spirit back up. You can visit the Prophet's Mosque if your first stop is Madinah, where you can say Nawafil (non- mandatory prayer). Any prayer said in the Prophet's Mosque is worth hundreds of times more than any other prayer. The Holy Prophet Muhammad SAWW said;

"Whoever prays 40 prayers in my Mosque (the Masjid-e- Nabawi SAWW) without missing a prayer, it will be written that he is safe from fire, safe from punishment, and free of hypocrisy."

He SAWW also said, when talking about how good it is to pray in the Prophet Mosque,

"A prayer in my mosque is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque except Masjid al Haram, where a prayer is better than a hundred thousand prayers."

Aside from this divine revaluation of the spirit, there is also the freedom from Ihram. The Ihram, which is made of two pieces of cloth, is a dress code for both Umrah and Hajj. Usually, when pilgrims (men only, since women don't have to wear anything special) reach the point of Meeqat, they have to put on ihram to continue walking. It is a state that all pilgrims must be in before they can start their Umrah or Hajj.

As we've already said, Ihram is a two-piece white cloth that is open in the middle. One sheet is used to cover the bottom, and the other is worn on the left shoulder. Since Ihram is not a normal outfit and has only been worn during Hajj and Umrah, almost all men find it hard to wear it. Too, it's hard to carry Ihram. If you land at the Jeddah airport and then go to Makkah first, a pilgrim must put on Ihram at the point of Meeqat, which is a few kilometres before Makkah city. But if you were going to Madinah as your final destination, you don't have to wear Ihram as much. Pilgrims can easily and comfortably visit the Prophet's Mosque and pray there. They can also pay Ziyarat to the other important sites (including Cemetery of Baqi and Roza Rasool SAWW).

When you're done with Ziyarat, praying, and supplicating in Madinah and are ready to go to Makkah, go to Masjid Meeqat in Madinah to enter the state of Ihram and do the rituals that go along with it, completing your holy Umrah trip.

If you make Madinah your first stop in Saudi Land, you will also feel less tired. Pilgrims who have been travelling for a long time and are tired when they first arrive in Makkah sometimes don't show the devotion to this holy city that they have always wanted to. But if your first stop is in Madinah, you'll have enough time to think about how you feel about the religious rules that you'll have to follow in Makkah. Also, going to the Prophet Mosque and other religious sites to pay Ziyarat will make you feel very clean and religious.

Even though the flight from Madinah back to Jeddah has spiritual benefits, it will also save you a lot of money on extra fees and road travel costs that you would have to pay from Jeddah. You can enjoy all of these things if Madinah is your first stop in Saudi Arabia after booking Cheap umrah packages 2023 manchester if you are living in UK.
