Every Muslim desires to visit the sacred city of Mecca or
Medina, so they easily participate in Umrah. Unlike Hajj, there is no
prescribed time to accomplish this type of pilgrimage and one can leave for
this spiritual journey at any time of the year except during Hajj. Umrah is a
less important form of worship as compared to Hajj. It is not compulsory for
all Muslims, but the obligation comes very rewardingly in Islam.
Umrah is one of the greatest Sunnah of our prophet Mohamed
(PBUH) and can be done at any time of the year. Want to perform this
obligation? Thus you need to book your Umrah package from a valuable travel
agency. However, it must require proper planning and preparation for visas,
flights, and accommodation because you are traveling outside the country.
Reservations should not be made in a hurry without adequate knowledge of
weather conditions in Saudi Arabia.
The question, therefore, remains: when is the best time to
do Umrah in 2020? If you hope to
do Umrah this season and want to book your trip, here are the 3 favorable
periods where you can embark on this spiritual journey:
1. During the Easter holiday:
Spring break is a good time to embark on this spiritual
journey. If you plan to make an Umrah
tour 2020 with your family, loved ones or alone, the Easter holidays
will be the ideal time, because it is considered out of season and prices tend
to fall. Once you book your Easter UmrahPackage, you will be able to find fewer crowds of pilgrims, which means you
will spend a relaxed moment performing your rituals.
2.
During the month of Ramadan
When it comes to performing Umrah, Ramadan is the best
time to complete the Umrah pilgrimage. It is a blessed month where simple good
deeds reap multiple rewards. Umrah in Ramadan becomes a more important
activity and for this manner, there are many Hadith that indirectly represent
the value of Umrah obligation.
According to 'Abdallah Ibn' Abbas (R.A), the Prophet
(PBUH) said: "An Umrah during Ramadan is equivalent to final pilgrimage
worship.
3. Umrah in December
Whether you plan to embark on Umrah alone or with your
family, the December holidays are perfect because the December Umrah package comes with different accommodations. Indeed,
the whole country is busy to celebrate the festivities, you can take advantage
of this period to embark on the spiritual journey to the holy cities of Mecca
and Medina.
Conclusion:
Weather conditions
in Saudi Arabia are fairly comfortable in December and Mecca is less crowded
compared to the high Ramadan season. You can easily get hotels near the Haram
at affordable prices and perform your rituals peacefully and without any
obstacle.
