The Launch of Hajj and Umrah Price Comparison Website

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu,

We are very pleased to launch Visit Haramain (Hajj and Umrah Price Comparison Website) in the UK. Below you can find our first blog explaining the journeys (Hajj & Umrah), the need for a Hajj and Umrah Price Comparison website, about us and how this service is going to work.

We ask Allah to help us in this cause.

Hajj – The Journey to Purification

Hajj means travelling for the purpose of visiting the Ka’bah, the sacred House of Allah, to perform the rites (manaasik), i.e., the actions and words reported in accounts of the Prophet’s Hajj.

Hajj is one of the most important pillar of Islam, it is a combination of all type of ibadah in one. Some of the acts include:

Ikhlaas: Like any type of worship, Hajj has to be performed solely to please Allah

Sunnah: The actions and the statements of Hajj has to be according to the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Sal’lallaho Elayhi WA sallam)

Hajj is from one of the few acts of worship which is a combined sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Sal’lallaho Elayhi WA sallam) and Prophet Ibrahim (Alayhis Salaam).

Hardship: From start to finish the Hajj journey is full of hardship and demands efforts; financially, physically and emotionally – from the moment you leave your family to reaching Masjid al-Haram, performing Umrah to setting off to Mina, staying in Arafat and stoning the Jamaraat. Your patience will be tested.

Dhikr: This beautiful act of Ibadah is full of opportunities to make the Dhikr of Allah, reciting Talbiyah to making Duas whilst performing the Tawaaf, Allah has blessed us with this act of worship to earn rewards and His pleasure.

Umrah – Follow the Footsteps of Prophet Muhammad

Umrah means travelling for the purpose of visiting the Ka’bah, the sacred House of Allah, to perform the rites (manaasik), i.e., the actions and words reported in accounts of the Prophet’s Umrah.

Our Prophet Muhammad (Sal’lallaho Elayhi WA sallam) performed this act of worship four times in his lifetime. He (Sal’lallaho Elayhi WA sallam) said, “From one ‘umrah to another is an expiation for whatever (sins) come between them.”

Muslims should always make effort of visiting the holy Kaaba on a regular basis for Umrah, this will help increase their imaan and increase blessings in their lives.

The Need for a Hajj and Umrah Price Comparison Website

Hajj and Umrah are from the best acts of Ibadah Allah has bestowed on the Muslims. It is every Muslim’s dream to visit Masjid al-Haram and perform the rites of Umrah and Hajj.

It takes some muslims a lifetime to save up for this journey, they avoid the luxuries, sacrifice by not spending (sometime even on essentials) just to make sure they have enough to visit the House of Allah.

In some muslim countries it is easier for the Pilgrims to arrange this journey as the organisers of the journey are the government of that country, themselves. However in non-muslim countries, where there is no official body to standardise the industry, it is sometimes very challenging to find the right Hajj and Umrah package.

Visit Haramain is an initiative taken by us to come up with a platform where UK pilgrims can find all the Hajj and Umrah packages under one roof. Alhamdulillah we now have this setup in place, where you will be able to see plenty of Hajj and Umrah packages from Economy Hajj Packages to 5 Star Hajj Packages.

How Visit Haramain (Hajj and Umrah Price Comparison Website) is going to Work?

Visit Haramain only works with official Hajj and Umrah tour operators authorised by ATOL, IATA and Ministry of Hajj, Saudi Arabia. Once a tour operator has agreed the terms with Visit Haramain, we will in sha Allah list their packages on the Hajj and Umrah sections of the website.

The information included in every package is completely from the relevant tour operator, Visit Haramain does not add or take away anything from the package, even the price is exactly what is advertised by the official provider themselves.

Steps Involved

Choose your package
Submit the booking request form
Your details will be sent to the relevant tour operator
You confirm the details of the package with the operator
Once you have signed up and paid the deposit for the Hajj or Umrah package
Visit Haramain will receive its commission for recommending you

Our Service

Visit Haramain (Hajj and Umrah Price Comparison Website) is completely independent from the tour operators and our service is completely FREE for the pilgrims from the UK.

Every time pilgrims in the UK use our service to book their Hajj or Umrah with the relevant tour operator, we will get a small amount of commission from the tour operator for recommending the pilgrim(s).

This commission is then used for the running of this website, paying for any administrative expenses and paying for time spent by people working on this project.
