A MESSAGE FROM SARA TRAVEL “And proclaim unto humankind the pilgrimage [Hajj]: They will come unto you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every deep ravine.” {Surah al-Hajj 22:27} Our combined expertise will ensure that we help revive many long lost secrets, and provide an inval- uable insight into the wisdom of Umrah, as well as the virtue of Makkah and Madinah. May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you, O dear aspiring pilgrim! I ask Allah to accept your intentions, that He bestow upon you an accepted Umrah, a rewarded effort, and make this Umrah an atonement for all sins great or small. Ameen! It is with great honour that I welcome you for a glo- rious Umrah pilgrimage. You may not yet realise it, but you are amongst an elite few that have been selected by Allah to visit the blessed lands during these testing times.

3. “An invitation to visit the Messenger ﷺ and Makkah in search of the Muhammadan Legacy...” SHAYKH WASEEM AHMED CO-FOUNDER GUIDANCE HUB A carefully crafted Umrah trip studying the life and times of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, where we will study the seerah of the Prophet ﷺ in the actual places where it all emanated in Makkah, Madinah, and beyond. In what promises to be a once in a lifetime experience, we will follow in the blessed footsteps of the final Messenger ﷺ; bringing to life and narrating his ﷺ most amazing biography, as well as visiting notable sites where he ﷺ frequented, passed, dwelled, and blessed with his ﷺ majestic presence. FILL YOUR HEART WITH REVERENCE FOR THE MESSENGER ﷺ We’ll visit the Prophet ﷺ, perform Umrah, as well as study an abridged version of the Seerah ﷺ:  Lessons with Shaykh Waseem Ahmed will take us through a journey to reconnect with our Prophet ﷺ in both Madinah and Makkah GUIDED TOURS & LESSONS & ISLAMIC ENLIGHTENMENT WITH SHAYKH WASEEM, GUEST SCHOLARS, QURRA, AND NASHEED ARTISTS  Visits to historic sites where many important Islamic events (in the time of the Prophet ﷺ) transpired. WHY STUDY THE SEERAH? Contemplating the Seerah is perhaps the best way for anyone to in- crease their love for the Prophet ﷺ, and what better place is there to study it than in the two major cities where he ﷺ resided in. By discov- ering the seerah, our love for the Prophet ﷺ intrinsically increases, and at the same time, it unveils our love for him ﷺ. Shaykh Waseem Ahmed will accompany us throughout the trip and has taught the Seerah several times; bringing a wealth of experience leading educational Umrah experiences. Certainly, when Allah inspires you with this love for the Prophet ﷺ, you will yearn want to know everything about him ﷺ, and you will aspire to imitate him ﷺ in every possible way. The more we attach ourselves to him ﷺ, the more are love will increase; and the more our love increases, the more we will want to know about him ﷺ. We will also be joined by Shaykh Sulaiman Muhammad, an authority in the science of Seerah and the former director of the Madinah Museum. The Seerah is not so much about learning Islamic history, as it is about the study of the life and times of the greatest human to ever live, in the greatest single period to ever ensue, amongst the greatest generation of people who ever lived, in the greatest of cities to have ever risen.
