The Perfect Age To Perform Umrah
One of the most holy obligation of Islam is Umrah and it is performed by millions of Muslims each year. There are many sensitive questions attached to Umra h which people ask from Islamic scholars. One of the questions that people often ask is that what is the perfect age to perform Umrah? Scholars say that there is no fixed age which is said to be the perfect age for performing Umrah but it is recommended that people should perform the Umrah in their youth instead of performing it in their old age or childhood. Because in your childhood, you are not intellectually smart enough to know about proper way of performing the rituals of Umrah and you may not take those rituals seriously.
On the other hand, in old age people suffer from various diseases and problems and they may not be healthy enough to perform it. Old age is that time period of a person’s life in which he is not active enough physically and to some extent, he may not be mentally active as well. If you are availing the cheapest umrah packages then you should perform the Umrah in the best way ever due to all the amazing conveniences given in the package. It is said that Umrah increases Barkat in the finances of a person. If you are in your early youth and wants to starts your business, then you should perform Umrah before starting that business so that the finances of your business increases by the blessings of Allah Almighty.
Life is so unpredictable. You can never predict how long a person is going to live and when will the angel of death take away his life. People keep delaying the time of their Umrah and they say that they will perform Umrah later in their old age. But they should not delay it for a long time. Because you never know if you will stay alive till that old age to perform Umrah or not. Also, Allah does not need our prayers when we are weak and feeble and have nothing else to do, so we start praying to pass our time. That prayer and worship is useless. When you pray in your youth by doing hajj with cheapest hajj packages, and taking out time from your tough routine and managing your schedule for the sake of Allah Almighty then that kind of prayer is truly admired by Allah and surely the perfect age for it.
