Umrah is one of the most sought-after and important acts of ibadat (worship) for Muslims globally. Annually, millions of pilgrims from every corner of the world make their way to the holy city of Mecca to perform the act of Umrah. Muslims can perform Umrah at any time of the year unlike Hajj which is only performed during the month of Dhul Hijjah so pilgrims keep travelling to Mecca.
However, during the third month of the Islamic calendar - Rabi al-Awwal, more and more pilgrims make their way to the holy city as it is a really special month in Islam as it marks the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Umrah is a holy pilgrimage that takes place in Saudi Arabia throughout the year except for during the month of Hajj. It attracts large numbers of believers who make their way to the holy city to perform Umrah, strengthen their belief and seek forgiveness from the almighty Allah.
Although Umrah is not one of the pillars of Islam, it is still an important religious duty which cleanses one’s soul. It involves various rituals such as wearing an Ihram and performing tawaf and Sa’ee.
Rabi Ul Awal is the third month in the Islamic Lunar calendar after Muharram and Safar. It is an important month for Muslims globally as it is the birth month of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This significant event changed the path of humanity forever and we find ourselves today trying to follow the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
There are sacred months in the Islamic calendar such as Dhul-Hijjah and Ramadan in which Muslims have to perform special religious tasks such as fasting, Hajj pilgrimage and so on. While the month of Rabi Ul Awal is tremendously important, there are no specific acts of worship that are to be compulsorily performed.
Performing Umrah during the month of Rabi Ul Awal is a special act because the pilgrims are presented with the opportunity to be present in the holiest sites in Islam during this important time of the year. It is the time to strengthen one’s relationship with the divine and seek forgiveness.
Historical events such as the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Prophet’s Hijrah (migration from Mecca to Madinah) happened during the month of Rabi Ul Awal. Even the demise of Prophet Muhammad happened on 12 Rabi Ul Awal. All these events make the 12 Rabi Ul Awal Umrah even more special for the pilgrims.
The atmosphere of spirituality and divinity around 12 Rabi Ul Awal is especially inviting elevating the whole Umrah experience for the pilgrims. As previously mentioned, Umrah can be performed at any time during the year but performing it during Rabi ul Awal adds a special glimmer.

The 12 Rabi Ul Awal Umrah package from India includes several popular ziyarat locations in Mecca and Madinah that you must take advantage of. Here we have described some of the most important ziyarat places
Due to its religious significance, pilgrims on the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage always make time to visit the Cave of Thawr. While migrating from Mecca to Madinah after being targeted and chased by the Quraysh tribe, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) along with his companions took refuge in this cave. Millions of Muslim devotees from around the planet visit this cave every year as this site holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims.
It is the location on the plains of Arafat where Prophet Adam and Amma Hawwa were reunited with Allah after confessing their transgressions and receiving the pardon. Pilgrims consider the Mount of Mercy as an important location when organising their Ziyarat tour of the city. One of the religious obligations mandated by the almighty Allah is to spend a certain amount of time in the Arafat plains during the Hajj.
Constructed initially by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) following his move to Madinah from Mecca. Initially built as a modest mosque with palm ferns and mud bricks, it has seen significant expansions throughout time. Masjid Al Nabawi is one of the most sought-after sites for ziyarat as it is the ultimate resting place of the Prophet and his two most devoted companions, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and Umar ibn al-Khattab.
Popularly referred to as Masjid-e-Aisha, it is the second-largest mosque in Mecca. It is the site where the beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad prepared to enter the state of Ihram. This mosque is quite popular during the Umrah and Hajj seasons as it serves as a point of Miqat for residents of Mecca intending to perform Umrah.
Located next to Jannat Al-Mualla is the old modest Mosque of Jinn. It is the city’s one of the oldest mosques. The mosque is built in the same place where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was once reciting the holy Quran when a large group of Jinn gathered to hear the recitation.
It is a cemetery located in the holy city of Mecca. It was quite regularly visited by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during his time in Mecca due to the Jannatul Mualla being the final resting place for a lot of close companions and family members of the Prophet including the prophet’s first beloved wife Hazrat Khadija.
Located on the Mountain of Illumination (Jabal Al Nour) is the famous Cave of Hira. It holds immense significance for all believers because the Cave of Hira is where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received the first verses of the Quran marking the beginning of Islam’s revelation. It is said that the Prophet visited this place continuously whenever he was in search of solitude.
Constructed in 622CE in Madinah by the Prophet, It's considered to be the first-ever mosque in the world. It's a pretty significant location for Muslims globally. What started with mud bricks and palm tree leaves is now a beautiful architectural marvel that has been reconstructed over the years. Today, it is an important ziyarat location for pilgrims visiting Saudi Arabia for their Umrah pilgrimage. It also serves as a town hall, a cabinet and a Madrassa.
