Join Ustadh Ibrahim Qureshi for a step-by-step workshop covering preparation for the Umrah journey, fiqh, rights & responsibilities, visiting the Prophet ﷺ, and more spiritual aspects. We will set our intention to have sincerity, manners (adab), patience, and gratitude. This open session also covers the logistics of Umrah and is most beneficial for people planning to perform Umrah soon.

Umrah for the Unrecognized
In our Heroes for Umrah/Hajj program, we recognize and support the unsung heroes and long-standing volunteers of our local communities who have not been to Umrah, lack the financial means to visit the blessed cities of Mecca and Medina, and accompany them with notable scholars who teach them before and during their travels. Upon return, these heroes share reflections for the wider community.
“Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allah and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve” – Surah al-Baqara, 2:262
