How to Stay Spiritually Connected After Returning from Umrah

Develop the habit of gratitude.

Stay Connected to the Quran and Islamic Knowledge

When your Umrah journey ignites a desire to understand your faith more. Nurture this interest and recite the holy Quran and try to understand it every day.

Here, I would like to share my Umrah experience that is connected with the journey of Umrah and the Quran.

When I had performed Umrah in the holy month of Ramdhan. I can read the Holy Quran. But unable to understand its language.

During the Salah of Taraweeh, Arabs were able to understand the words of Allah and answered to the recitation in a way as if it was the message of Allah that was being conveyed to them.

That spiritual connection, I was missing in my Umrah rituals. My prayers got answered when I started learning the language of Arabs—the language of the Quran. Thank God, I now understand the Quranic verses and get the feel of spiritual connection with Allah (S.W.T.).

I suggest you read a few verses every day along with their translation and tafsir. Also, learn the Arabic language.

To seek out Islamic knowledge, read books, take online lectures, or local classes. Understand the 'why' behind Islamic rules that will strengthen your faith and provide a logical foundation for Islamic knowledge and make it more resilient.

Guard Your Environment and Choose Righteous Company

As your Umrah journey strengthens your spiritual ties, it's imperative that you must:

• Protect your surroundings: Make your efforts to uplift people. You should be mindful of the media that you consume. Take care of your conversations in which you engage. Create an atmosphere that fosters your spiritual growth. Protect your friends' circle that harms your faith.

• Righteous Company: Try to choose a network of friends and community that support you to do good things and help you to stay on the right path.

Keep the Flame of Dua Alive: Keep Asking Allah

You have witnessed how sincere prayers are answered in the most sacred places. Don’t let that closeness to Allah fade. Make dua regularly, in gratitude, need, protection, or reflection. Also include the whole Ummah in your prayers.

Use the Experience to Inspire Others

Tell about your Umrah journey to whom you meet in your surroundings. Make your blessings a source of light for others. Also, let your actions speak. And treat everyone with your patience, humility, and kindness in everyday life.

It is a form of Sadaqah, which spreads your spiritual journey's light wherever you go.
