What a serious question was revealed to me! The audience was silent, not daring to ask questions. 

The next morning, a companion dared to ask: “Messenger of Allah, what is this strict revealed question? He replied, “By Him in the hands of my soul, if a man is killed in battle for the sake of Allah, then resurrected, then slain and resurrected, then slain a again, and he owes a debt, he will not enter Heaven until his debt is paid off!

Be prepared to interact with different people

There are almost 2 billion Muslims in the world. There are followers from different countries, from different cultures, from different colors, from different schools of thought, from different Mazhabs. But we all share the same Word.

There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger.

We are all brothers and sisters. We may have our differences, but we are one Ummah. Open your heart and mind. Be tolerant. Agree  disagree.

Stay focused

Remember your goal. Get rid of all bad thoughts and distractions and focus on your task. Be mentally ready and put your faith in Allah. Write  Duas and read the Quran as much as possible. Perform  Umrah rituals, prayers, Ibadah, fasting and charity only for the sake of Allah Azawajal.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “(Performance) Umrah is atonement for  sins committed (between this and  previous sins). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (accepted by Allah) is none other than Heaven.’ [Reported in Sahih al-Bukhari].

May Allah accept your Umrah, dear devotee! Be careful.
