Support Umrah سفر إلى بيت الله
Bring someone closer to Allah — sponsor a Muslim in need to perform Umrah. Your sadaqa opens the doors of the Haram for a soul who cannot afford the journey.
The Weight of a Longing Unreached
Imagine an elderly woman in Maroua, Cameroon. She has prayed all her life facing a direction she has never seen. She has whispered Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk in her heart every Hajj season — watching others prepare, watching others return with light in their eyes she cannot name. She cannot afford the ticket. She cannot afford the visa. She has never been, and she fears she never will.
This is not a rare story. Across Africa, millions of Muslims carry this ache — the longing for Umrah, the lesser pilgrimage that can be performed at any time of year. The problem is not faith. The problem is means.
The average cost of an Umrah package from West Africa ranges from $1,200 to $2,500 per person — an amount that represents more than a year’s income for many families in Cameroon and the Sahel region.
What Umrah Means — And Why It Matters
Umrah — the “lesser pilgrimage” — is a profound act of worship that takes the believer to the very heart of Islam: the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, where the Kaaba stands as the first house dedicated to the worship of Allah.
The Reward of Enabling Someone’s Umrah
A single donation that sponsors an Umrah multiplies across every prayer, every tawaf, every dua that person makes. Your charity keeps rewarding you long after you’ve given it.
“I am 67 years old. I had given up hope of ever seeing the Kaaba. When I was told a donor had sponsored my Umrah, I cried for three days. I made dua for that person at every station.”
