Umrah Sponsorship Program

Making the journey to Allah’s House is a lifelong dream for every Muslim. Once we experience this sacred pilgrimage, our hearts often yearn to return repeatedly. Many have been blessed to visit the Holy Mosques of Makkah and Madinah multiple times. However, there are many brothers and sisters in our communities who, due to financial constraints, are unable to make this journey despite their strong desire.

You can help make someone’s dream of visiting Makkah and Madinah a reality by sponsoring an Umrah pilgrimage. This simple act of sadaqah can profoundly impact their lives.

We have a list of screened applicants who are assessed based on need, considering factors such as age, finances, and health conditions.

By sponsoring an Umrah, you not only help fulfill someone’s lifelong dream but also earn the rewards of sadaqah and benefit from their prayers made on your behalf.

The Selection Process

We would like to share with you the process we follow to ensure that your generous contributions are allocated to those most in need. Our selection process for Umrah scholarships is designed to be comprehensive and fair, ensuring that each recipient truly benefits from this spiritual journey. Here’s how we do it:

Financial Need Assessment:
We carefully review each applicant’s financial situation by analyzing their total monthly income and expenses. This helps us determine their level of financial need. We also verify this information by examining their submitted tax return and recent pay stub.

Previous Umrah Experience:
To provide this blessed opportunity to those who have not yet experienced it, we prioritize applicants who have never performed Umrah before.

Family Responsibilities:
We consider the number of dependents each applicant supports, giving preference to those with larger family responsibilities, as they may face greater financial challenges.

Community Involvement:
We assess the applicant’s active participation in their local masjid and involvement in charitable organizations. Our focus is on individuals who are contributing positively to their community, as we believe in supporting those who give back.

Personal Statement:
Each applicant submits a personal statement explaining why they should be considered for the scholarship. We evaluate these statements carefully, looking for sincerity, genuine need, and a strong desire for spiritual growth.

Masjid Affiliation:
We confirm the applicant’s regular attendance at their local masjid and ensure that they are reputable and respected members of their community, as indicated in their application.

Documentation Verification:
To maintain the integrity of the process, we verify the validity of all submitted documents, including the driver’s license, income tax return, and pay stub. We also conduct a thorough verification process to ensure the accuracy of all information provided.

Availability and Timing:
Finally, we consider the applicant’s preferred month for Umrah to ensure it aligns with the scholarship availability and our program schedule.

We hope this explanation gives you confidence in our process and reassures you that your donations are being used with the utmost care and responsibility. Thank you for your continued support in making Umrah accessible to those in need.
