assalmualaikum, Allahu akbar, i am really eager to perform umrah. But i haven’t received an invite from ALLAH yet. I have the money, time and insya Allah i am healthy too. i have planned several times to go, but they were always obstacles and cancelled dates. one of the reasons is i am married and my husband doesn’t want to to yet..
Please help me how to apply Please
Salam Bilkis,
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, there is no application process for this program as the guest list is selected directly by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance. The 1,000 guests are chosen by the organizers, and individual applications are not accepted. We recommend keeping this noble intention in your heart and exploring other Umrah opportunities available to you.
May Allah grant you the chance to visit His Sacred House.
Assalamu Alaikum,
My name is Bilkis Chohan. It is my heartfelt dream to perform Umrah and visit the House of Allah with my family. I kindly request you to consider inviting me along with my husband, my son, and my daughter under the free Umrah program.
May Allah reward you for helping people fulfill this blessed journey. I sincerely hope and pray that you will consider my request.
JazakAllah Khair.
