Dream - Umrah or often referred to as a small pilgrimage is a Sunnah worship performed by Muslims by visiting and performing various worship practices in the Baitullah, Mecca. Although similar to the Hajj worship, there are differences between the two. However, the value of Umrah worship is equally noble as Hajj, especially for Muslims who are outside Mecca and must travel a long distance to the Baitullah. It not only requires a fit physical condition but also a considerable cost.

They who come to welcome these pilgrims can do so with a form of worship in the form of prayers for those who have just returned from Umrah. The prayers that are recited are hoped to make the Umrah pilgrimage that has been undertaken accepted by Allah SWT and all sins forgiven. Here is the prayer recitation for those who have just returned from Umrah as summarized by Dream through various sources.

Haji and Umrah

Haji is a religious pilgrimage that is performed once in a lifetime in Mecca, while Umrah is a religious ritual that can be performed at any time in Mecca. Through the acts of haji and umrah, Muslims can strengthen their vertical relationship with Allah SWT by obediently carrying out all the prescribed rituals. Additionally, these acts of worship also enhance the quality of horizontal relationships with fellow Muslims, as they embody values of brotherhood, togetherness, and mutual assistance.

Allah SWT has promised great rewards for those who perform the pilgrimage and umrah sincerely. These rewards will increase obedience in worship and improve the quality of faith and piety of a Muslim. This can strengthen the vertical relationship with Allah SWT and also strengthen the horizontal relationship with fellow Muslims because with sincerity, a person will be respected and loved by fellow human beings.

By doing so, Hajj and Umrah have great wisdom for Muslims, both in terms of vertical worship and horizontal relationships with fellow Muslims. This worship not only brings great rewards from Allah SWT, but also enhances the quality of vertical and horizontal relationships in a Muslim's life.

The purpose of this visit is to congratulate on the success of performing the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage, as well as to seek blessings and share spiritual experiences. The visit should be made as soon as possible after the person arrives home, because in the hadith it is mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad gave special attention to the Hajj pilgrims when they returned to their hometowns. This is also to show gratitude for their safety during the journey of the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage.

In Islam, the visit is encouraged to provide encouragement and support to those who have just returned from the holy worship. This is also a form of concern for fellow Muslims who want to obtain grace and blessings after performing the Hajj and Umrah. In this way, the visit will bring happiness and strengthen the bond of brotherhood among Muslims.

Praying sincerely and sincerely can be a means of providing support and seeking protection for those who are performing the umrah pilgrimage. In Islam, saying prayers for others is also considered a good deed that can bring goodness to the doer. Therefore, praying for those who are performing umrah is a highly recommended action and has a high spiritual value in Islam.

Although, the prayer itself is flexible and can bring goodness to others as well as oneself..As the Prophet Muhammad said: "Indeed, prayer is beneficial (brings goodness) for what has already happened and what has not yet happened. Therefore, increase in prayer, O servants of Allah..." (HR. Ahmad, Turmudzi, and authenticated by al-Albani)

The following is a prayer for someone who has just returned from Umrah as recommended by Imam al-Qalyubi (Shafi'i scholars): <تَقَبَّلَ اللَّهُ عُمْرَتَكَ، وَغَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ، وَأَخْلَفَ عَلَيْكَ نَفَقَتَك> Meaning: "May Allah accept your Umrah, may Allah forgive your sins, and may Allah provide compensation for your travel expenses."
