UMRAH & TREK JABAL AN-NUR

About the Challenge

Embark on a transformative journey of worship, reflection, and impact. Over ten days, you will perform the sacred rites of Umrah, immerse yourself in Seerah-based reflections, and take on the Mountain of Light (Jabal al-Noor) Challenge, all while raising life-saving funds for families in Gaza.

Guided by Sister Khalika Sonara and Dr. Kiran Rahim, you’ll deepen your connection to Allah and the Prophetic legacy, explore Makkah and Madinah through meaningful Ziyarah tours, and grow in both spiritual understanding and humanitarian purpose.

Children and mahrams are welcome - this retreat is primarily designed for sisters, but family members can join to share in the journey.
