More than 140 decades (1,400 years) ago, the holy and the last Prophet of Allah Almighty Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) were born. After spending 40 years of their life, Allah sends the first revelation through the Angel Jibrael (AS). From that time, Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) begins to spread the message of Allah Almighty worldwide.

In the beginning of Islam, there are only few people who embrace Islam and become Muslims. Muslims have two main focuses in the life of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). First one is to protect holy Prophet and the second one is to spread Islam.

The messenger of Allah, Prophet Ibrahim (AS), rebuilds KAABA (the house of Allah Almighty) along with his son Ismail (AS). In the beginning of Islam, Masjid Al-Aqsa was the Qibla of Muslims but then Allah changes the Qibla to Masjid Al-Haram. Qibla is the point towards which Muslims face while offering their prayers.

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) performs seven anti-clockwise circular rounds of KABBA, known as Tawaf. Allah loves this religious act so much that it becomes the part (ritual) of Umrah and Hajj.  You can book our Umrah Packages from USA to make your spiritual journey of Umrah more worth it and enjoy the rituals of it with Qiblatain.
