Umrah with Kids and Family

Every Muslim wants his divine journey memorable and brimmed with immense blessings. Usually, the people set out for this divine path with their spouse and leave their children at home to avoid any inconvenience in their Umrah. Furthermore, the women accompanying men there also get separated from them at Masjid e Nabwi and Masjid –e- Haram where there are separate sections for males and females. So it becomes difficult for women to handle their kids and perform their prayers peacefully.

Children as an inevitable part of our family

However, it must be noted that our children need our attention. And it is our social and religious obligation to teach everything about the religion they are following. If you have performed your first or 2^nd Umrah without kids then, it is highly recommended to embark on your second/ third Umrah with family and children in particular.

Significance of Umrah with Family and kids

Family is an integral part of a man’s life. It makes up a man’s life who lives with it earns for it. Our family members especially our mother father wife children are unprecedented blessings of Allah Almighty bestowed on us. And these are our loved ones especially our children who stand beside us through our thick and thin. So don’t shy away to perform a blessed and appeasing spiritual Umrah journey with your kids and family. This remarkable deed of generosity would manifold Allah’s blessings upon you and your family.

Umrah Strengthens your Familial Bonds with Allah

When you perform Umrah alone or with a spouse, you strengthen your bond with Allah (SWT) individually. But if it is your Family Umrah, your bond is strengthened as a unit. That means your children’s bond with Allah, your spouse’s bond with Allah. Allah ( SWT) in turn strengthens your bond between you your kids and your spouse. This bond is totally on a newer level because Allah’s will and blessings are intermixed in it.

How to Handle Your Kids on Umrah

First of all, you have to psycho prepare yourself when you decide to take your kids with you. Pack their bags with the needed food items and clothing and keep it in mind that you may have to shorten your ibadah there with them. And it is not a worrisome thing because Allah is all-knowing and merciful who blesses you merely on your right intentions. It would be a serendipity if your kids are really sensible to understand and hold a decent conversation with you. So they will truly understand why they are having a family Umrah with you.

Ensure your kids about Allah’s Oneness and his Supremacy

It is mandatory for the Muslim parents to aware of their children about the “Oneness” of Allah ( SWT), telling them that nothing and no one is supreme except “ His Highness”.  He is the Creator of each and everything of this universe and many other universes. Every particle moves on his direction. So the purpose of this Divine journey is to sacrifice our money in his divine path to seek his blessings. Tell your kids that Umrah or Hajj is solely for Allah and all our physical and mental activities are devoted to him and only him. When you follow Umrah rules tell them that everything revolves around his rules and regulations. When you mandatorily teach your children about Allah’s all might and glory, they would understand Umrah rules quite well for sure.
