Performing Umrah is one of the most rewarding experiences for a Muslim. Doing so in a month like Ramazan multiplies the blessings by a thousand if not more. Nevertheless, if you are performing an Umrah for the first time in your life, planning for Umrah in Ramazan can be a dauting task. After all, you are not just meeting your Creator, but you must also contend with millions of other pilgrims in the holy cities. The right preparation and a reliable Umrah operator guiding you, the sacred journey can become a memorable experience.
As a leading Umrah operator in Lahore, here’s our detailed guide on planning Umrah in Ramadan 2025.
Planning for Ramadan Umrah 2025
Here’s what you need to know if you are performing Umrah for the first time:
-
Understand the Significance
Umrah is referred to as the lesser pilgrimage. But performing it during Ramadan amplifies its reward. According to a Hadith, ‘Performing Umrah in Ramazan is equivalent in reward to performing Hajj’. Therefore, the holy month of Ramadan is a time where every act of worship is rewarded with multiplied blessings. Understanding the importance of performing Umrah can help you mentally prepare for this amazing journey.
-
Selecting the Dates
Ramadan will fall between March and April. Therefore, you must select the dates accordingly.
- Early Ramadan
Selecting a date during the earlier days offers numerous benefits, including a lesser crowd. You can use the opportunity to spend maximum time in Haram and Masjid-e-Nabwi.
- Last Ten Days
The last ten days offer the greatest reward. It is also the period during which Muslims seek Laylatul Qadr. While the rewards are the highest at this time, so is the crowd. If you are travelling with elderly relatives or young children, we suggest performing Umrah in Ramazan during the early days.
-

Due to the high demand, prices for flights, hotels, and transport increase significantly. Therefore, it is better to book your package in advance.

-
Physical and Spiritual Preparation
Umrah is a physically and spiritually demanding experience. Therefore, you need to prepare yourself to maximise the rewards. First and foremost, start building your stamina since Umrah involves a lot of walking. The Tawaf and Sa’i are physically taxing, making it difficult if you don’t have much stamina.
As far as the spiritual preparation is concerned, you need to familiarise yourself with the rituals of Umrah. For example, you should not touch the Ka’ba since it is perfumed unless you have completed all the rituals of Umrah. Similarly, wearing sewn clothes is not recommended for the men.
For the women, there are no such restrictions, but they must ensure their clothing is modest and they are not using any makeup. Memorising supplications (duas) will help you amplify the experience and blessings. During the crowd, we recommend carrying a prayer mat and the Holy Quran.
-
Pack Smartly
Most people end up overpacking or packing too little. It is important to carry all the essentials. We have come up with a check list for first-time Umrah performers:
- Ihram for men and modest clothing for the women.
- Lightweight prayer mat, a dua book, Umrah guide, and Holy Quran.
- Comfortable shoes/slippers for walking.
- Water bottle.
- Small snacks.
-
Making the Best Out of Your Time
While we recommend spending the maximum time in worship, you still need to act smartly. Overexerting yourself can cause you to fall ill. Therefore, you need to keep a balance. To balance Umrah and Ramadan, we recommend:
- Perform the Tawaf and Sa’I after Fajr prayers or during late night. This is also the period when the crowd is at the lowest level.
- Try to always participate in the Tarawih prayers since it is one of the most heartwarming experiences.
During the entire time, don’t forget to drink plenty of water and have snacks to keep your energy levels up.
-
Follow the Guidelines
You will need to register yourself on the Nusuk app for entry into Riaz ul Jannah and Haram (requirements keep changing). Ensure timely registration to avoid issues.
-
Consider it a Test
Lastly, Umrah is not just about rewards and blessings. Consider it as a test as well. The large crowds, long wait times, and lack of sleep can be quite challenging. But don’t lose hope and stay steadfast.
