Seerah Umrah Tour

Umrah takes just a few hours…
What will you do for the rest of the trip?

Introducing our

Seerah Umrah Tour

“In the very places he lived, walked, fought, cried and laughed…”

Many individuals embark on the Umrah pilgrimage with the hope of experiencing an Iman boost. However, this heightened spiritual state is often fleeting, as within a short span of a few months, they regress to the familiar routines they had before their sacred journey.

In the aftermath of Umrah, a disheartening pattern emerges, marked by the procrastination of prayers, neglect of the Qur’an, and a gradual distancing from their Creator. Deep within, a palpable sense of guilt takes hold as they reflect on the recent pilgrimage to the Kabah, where tears were shed in an earnest plea for forgiveness. Regrettably, the lack of a practical plan or guidance for the post-Umrah period leaves them stranded in this spiritual dilemma.

The ensuing days witness a return to square one, as individuals find themselves slipping back into old habits. It is crucial to recognise that this cycle is not an inevitable fate. Instead, Umrah should be perceived as the inception of a transformative journey, representing the potential for a renewed and improved version of oneself.

“He ﷺ was the perfect husband, the perfect father, the perfect military commander, the perfect leader, the perfect friend. He ﷺ was the perfect servant of Allah.”

Anyone can arrange your flights, hotels and transport. Doing this well is the bare minimum you should expect from your Umrah provider. But at Radiant Drops, we are on a mission to change your life. If this is not your goal, then our Seerah Umrah Tour is not for you.

But if you want to create a positive and permanent shift in your relationship with Allah; if you have sinned and want practical ways to start again – with a clean slate; if you feel that the people whom you love are struggling with their Deen and need a “ping” moment that inspires and motivates a change for life… Then this trip is exactly what you need.

Over the years, we have meticulously crafted a mesmerising and proven structure for our Umrah Tour. It’s like a machine: you enter as one person and leave totally different. You will see how, in the modern age, you can continue to achieve your worldly goals, all while developing a strong and permanent relationship with Allah.

Emotions

of the Prophet

Together, we will visit key historical landmarks – making a detailed stop at each place – to learn timeless morals and lessons from our Prophet’s ﷺ life (The Seerah). We will take inspiration and use this to motivate us to apply practical steps to make permanent changes in our lives.

You will feel the emotions of the Prophet ﷺ and his family and companions. When they laugh, you will laugh. Where they cried, you will cry.

This will be like no other journey you have ever experienced In sha’ Allah. You will come away appreciating the sacrifices that the Prophet ﷺ and his companions made for their Lord.

You will return as a different person In sha’ Allah.

Umrah Journey:

Learn about Prophet

The Umrah holds great significance in Islam and is performed by millions of Muslims each year. While not obligatory, it is highly recommended and carries immense spiritual rewards. The rituals of Umrah involve a series of acts of worship, including the Tawaf around the Kaaba, Sa’i between the hills of Safa and Marwah, and the symbolic shaving or trimming of hair. Performing Umrah allows believers to seek forgiveness, purification, and closeness to Allah in the holy city of Makkah, fostering a sense of spiritual rejuvenation and humility.

Radiant Drops emerges as a distinguished travel service for Umrah, catering to the needs of pilgrims with a commitment to excellence. With a focus on both the logistical and spiritual aspects of the journey, Radiant Drops ensures a smooth and enriching experience for pilgrims. Their experienced team provides comprehensive support, offering guidance on the rituals and ensuring that every detail of the pilgrimage is meticulously managed. By choosing Radiant Drops, pilgrims not only benefit from a well-organised travel experience but also gain the advantage of a service deeply attuned to the spiritual significance of Umrah, enhancing the overall sacred journey for those seeking a meaningful connection with their faith.

Why Travel

With a Group?

Joining our group ensures you won’t be navigating a foreign country alone, uncertain about language, customs, or directions. You’ll be in the company of like-minded individuals and families, all sharing the common goal of establishing a lasting connection with Allah.

Our experience has shown that many participants form deep bonds during the journey, making it difficult to bid farewell.

While some initially plan extensive worship in Makkah and Madinah, the reality often falls short due to fatigue, homesickness, and distractions like shopping.

Travelling with a group provides mutual encouragement, shared learning, and assistance, fostering a supportive community. Plus, we offer thorough preparation through webinars to help you make the most of your Umrah experience, ensuring every aspect is enriching and fulfilling.

Your Expert

Religious Guide

Our religious guide is none other than Sheikh Abu Abdissalam, a distinguished British graduate in Islamic Studies from Dar Al-Hadith Al-Khayriyyah in Makkah. With a rich background spanning over 22 years, Sheikh Abdissalam brings unparallelled expertise to the realm of guiding individuals through the profound experiences of Hajj and Umrah, ensuring they extract the utmost value from these spiritual journeys.

Sheikh Abdissalam has graced platforms such as Peace TV, Islam Channel, Huda TV, and Islamic Network TV. Additionally, he serves as an esteemed instructor at the Al-Kauthar Institute. His passion for imparting knowledge about the Seerah, or the life of Prophet Muhammad, is evident in his engaging teaching style. Beyond the structured learning environment, Sheikh Abdissalam eagerly dedicates time to interacting with our guests, whether answering their questions or simply enjoying social moments together.

Fellowship

Like no other

Join a community of like-minded individuals and families united in a common goal: fostering a lifelong bond with Allah. This journey isn’t just about spiritual growth; it’s about creating lasting connections through shared discussions, meals, laughter, tears, and relaxation.

The camaraderie formed is so strong that bidding farewell becomes an emotional experience, with many guests shedding tears as the tour concludes.

While pilgrims often envision spending hours in the Grand Masjids of Makkah and Madinah for worship, the transition can be overwhelming. Homesickness, fatigue, and the heat may divert plans, leading to time spent in malls and subsequent regret upon return. Our tour emphasises mutual learning, encouragement, and support, providing ample opportunities for socialising and discussing meaningful topics. We respect your need for private time, ensuring you make the most of every aspect of your transformative journey with us.
