As
in the case of Hajj, 'Umrah has been
given the quality of erasing sins when
performed with the correct intention and
spirit. The outer physical rites of 'Umrah
cannot in themselves erase misdeeds, for
such rites devoid of the true spirit of
'Umrah are futile physical exercises and
'Umrah becomes a virtual picnic or
sight-seeing tour. It is the spiritual
awakening which is generated by the
performance of the rites of 'Umrah with
the right intentions which has this
powerful effect of canceling errors.
And, it is that same spiritual journey
which helps the individual
to reform his life and prepare for the
life to come.
Since
the month of Ramadaan has great merit
due to the physical and spiritual
demands of fasting, 'Umrah during this
month has been awarded special merit.
This is also in keeping with the general
Islamic
principle governing effort and reward:
the greater the effort, the greater the
reward. The Prophet (صلى
الله
عليه
وسلم) encouraged
'Umrah during Ramadaan saying that, The
performance of 'Umrah during Ramadaan is
like performing Hajj with me.
Thus, the honor and reward for
performing Hajj with Allah's last
Messenger has been put within the reach
of those who wish to seek it.
Besides
these special benefits, there are others
which have already been enumerated in
the previous chapter on Hajj. For
example, the element of selfless
sacrifice and the development of the
higher moral qualities like sincerity
and piety, humility and obedience and so
on.
