Start Planning Your DIY Umrah
The Purifying Reward of Umrah
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “(The performance of) Umrah is an expiation for the sins committed (between it and the previous one). And the reward of Hajj Mabrur (the one accepted by Allah) is nothing except Paradise.” Sahih al-Bukhari 1773
Salam and Welcome!
Have you thought about planning your own Umrah but felt unsure where to start? With tawakkul (trust in Allah), preparation and patience, you can create a cost-effective journey that fits your needs.
Alhamdulillah, I was blessed to plan my family’s DIY Umrah, managing every detail from visas and flights to accommodation, ziyarah and everything else in between – without relying on expensive packages. Balancing a full-time career and family, I took on the challenge and with Allah’s help, discovered that planning Umrah independently is both possible and rewarding. Our journey from Australia also took us through Southeast Asia and the Middle East, making it spiritually uplifting and deeply fulfilling.
From first-hand experience, I have learned what works, what to avoid and how to make the journey smoother and more affordable. I created GoDIYumrah.com to share these insights and help others gain confidence in planning their DIY Umrah. May this space benefit you as Allah has made it easy for me.
