Ramadan Umrah
12th to 23rd March 2024
Al-Bukhaari (1782) and Muslim (1256) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a woman from among the Ansaar – Ibn ‘Abbaas mentioned her name but I forgot it – “What kept you from performing Hajj with us?” She said: We only have two camels and the father of her son and her son had gone for Hajj on one camel, and he left us the other camel so that we could carry water on it. He said: “When Ramadan comes, go for ‘Umrah, for ‘Umrah in (that month) is equivalent to Hajj.”

Brother Yusuf and Brother Hani assisted us all the way and answered every question that we had. All of our visas were arranged even with a couple of non-Australian passports. Flights, ground transports and accommodations were as promised. We stayed in nice hotels very close to haramain with good and clean rooms and good breakfast menu. The umrah ritual guidance and the many religious sessions including during bus trips were very beneficial for us all. Sheikh Abdel Nasser Saleh shared with us a lot of knowledge that we never knew before and highlighted the spiritual significance of each act of worship and historical places. Sheikh also taught us a lot of adab/manners when we are in certain places, when we visit the grave of Rasulullãh shalaLlāhu ‘alayhi wasalam , Abu Bakr as-Sidiq ra and ‘Umar bin Khattab ra. We highly recommend Islamic Travel Australia for umrah trips and others. read less

My only recommendation would be to extend the China trip to more days as there is so much to absorb in that massive country and distances are great, as is travel just to arrive in Beijing to start the trip. I think it would be wise to advise future groups that the China tour is not a rest by any stretch . Indeed, it is physically demanding but was planned out in the most logical sequence with refreshing prayer breaks at beautiful mosques.
Personally, I had studied a lot of Chinese history previously, but for many of the group, it would have been useful to have a recommended reading list sent prior to the trip so as to be more intellectually prepared for the amazing sites we visited. Ideally, handouts outlining key historical moments at certain points would have been welcomed. Thank you for a very blessed trip. read lessMunevver S.04/10/22 – GoogleIt was a wonderful spiritual experiment. I had a wonderful company with all people who joined.

Brother Yusuf was extremely helpful in the lead up to the trip with all my questions and queries and was always available to go above and beyond to help me. The regular talks/lectures were very insightful and the organisation of the trip overall was very helpful. For example SIM cards were organised as soon as we arrived in Madinah. We had regular updates by the organisers and they readily took on any feedback and happily assisted us as needed. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for everything. read less - Shejuti H.11/09/23 – GoogleCan’t speak highly enough of Islamic Travel. From the very beginning I felt like I was dealing with family.

I needed to book separate flights to the group and Brother Yusuf really surprised me by his dedication to making sure I got the best flight options, he did his own research and sent me recommendations to fit my schedule and budget. I was mentally prepared to do it myself, but he made it his concern too! Throughout the journey, Brother Yusuf and Sister Adeeba looked after us all with the utmost care. Their experience and sincerity showed at every step. From choosing hotels that were close to the venue, sending us good options for necessities such as SIM cards, laundry, exchange etc, taking us on walking tours to help us become familiar with the areas and history (and providing back up tours for anyone who couldn’t make the initial one), to ma sha Allah the restaurant recommendations. Teaming up with Benevolence for our particular trip brought a whole other level of barakah, Alhumdulillah. The spiritual knowledge and guidance we received from Brother Ramzi and Sister Saara etc. were unparalleled. They also facilitated a guided umrah for us all, and paced themselves to keep the groups together and make it as easy for us as possible. All facilitators were always happy to answer our questions and constantly checked in with us to gain feedback throughout the trip and see what we wanted to do. If we wanted to do anything outside of the itenirary they used their local knowledge to facilitate it and make sure we got the best experience. The group truly became a family and this is largely attributed to the efforts of Brothers Yusuf and Ramzi and Sisters Adeeba and Saara. Could go on and on. JazakAllah khairan all. read lessZeinab M.03/10/23 – GoogleMy journey with ” Islamic Travel ” to Makkah, Madina, and Jerusalem was absolutely incredible.
