Every moment of this journey is built around one central truth — to know Allah is to call upon Him.
This retreat is a sacred invitation to rediscover the power of du‘ā as the heart of our relationship with Allah — to turn to Him in every season of life, in need and in gratitude, in hardship and in hope.
Through guided reflections, lessons, and companionship, you will explore how du‘ā shapes our connection with the Divine, helps us navigate life’s tests, and anchors us in trust and surrender.
Led by Aliyah Umm Raiyaan (UK) and Dr. Naila Althagafi (Saudi Arabia), The Power of Du‘ā — Sisters’ Umrah Retreat weaves spiritual insight with lived experience — reminding us that every call to Allah is heard, and every journey toward Him begins with the heart that calls upon Him.
Set across Makkah, Madinah, and the battlefield of Badr, this curated women-only Umrah retreat blends devotional worship, Prophetic sites, and reflective learning. Together we will perform Umrah, engage in guided study circles, and share meals and moments of stillness — building a sisterhood rooted in remembrance, reflection, and renewal.
This is not like any other Umrah. It’s a carefully designed spiritual experience — one that connects you to Allah, His Messenger ﷺ, and a circle of women from around the world who are journeying toward Him together.
Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in yourself for a life-changing spiritual experience, sisterhood, and a deeper connection to Allah.

Yes, many scholars, including those from Al-Azhar University and the Sunni tradition, permit women to travel without a mahram under certain conditions. This view is supported by contemporary Islamic scholars and institutions such as Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the European Fatwa Council, Dar al-Ifta of Egypt, and scholars from Al-Azhar.
The primary concern in Islamic jurisprudence regarding a woman traveling without a mahram is safety. If a woman's journey is secure, and she is accompanied by trustworthy companions, the prohibition is lifted.
Al-Azhar University has explicitly stated that, given modern advancements in travel and safety, a woman may travel without a mahram if the journey is safe and she is in the company of trustworthy individuals.
Therefore, traveling with a group of trusted women for religious purposes, such as Umrah, is permissible and has historical precedence.
