This can be called a misconception that the people who are
Muslims and are coming to Saudi Arabia are most likely to get not so much
facilities as provided to those coming from Muslim countries. This is the
weirdest idea and it is a misconception but thankfully it is not that much
common. Same is the case that probably UK Muslims think of. If we talk about
the time of Umrah and Hajj, there was a time when there were not so many facilities
and ways for British Muslims to go on their sacred trip due to the problems in
their homeland. Now the situation is a lot better and in the month of Ramadan
too, UK Muslims enjoy all the facilities and the freedom without any
restrictions.
The Facilities
Are The Same
The facilities that are provided to UK Muslims are the same
as provided to those coming from other countries. The facilities that are
offered during Hajj and Umrah are also the same. The pilgrims enjoy all the
available resources for their service. Likewise, the restrictions that are
applied to everyone must also apply to them. Like all the countries the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia also has specific rules which need to be implemented in any
case and everyone has to comply with them.
A Number Of
Packages For Umrah And Hajj
There was a time when there were not so many options
available to the UK Muslims in the UK for Umrah and Hajj. This was due to the
fact that the government had not made things easier for them or opened new ways
to make them able to enjoy the best deals. In contradiction to that, at that
time as well, UK Muslims enjoyed all the facilities given to the pilgrims by
the Saudi government. Now they are also able to enjoy plenty of packages and
deals offered to them.
A Number Of
Travel Agencies
The fact that now UK Muslims can enjoy a number of Ramadan Umrah Packages is due to the
reason that there are a lot of travel agencies working in the UK. This way the
journey of Hajj and Umrah is made a lot easier, thanks to the British and Saudi
government who made this all possible for the Muslims of the UK.
Those Living
In Saudi Arabia
Muslims who are living in Saudi Arabia and are the British
Muslims have the opportunity to do Umrah and Hajj like others. They will
encounter no restriction. In the month of Ramadan, they can observe the whole
month the way it is done with the utmost reverence. They will feel no misgiving
or any hurdle in what they do as Muslims. Fasting for the whole month of
Ramadan and the time when the fast is completed (called ‘Iftaar’), the same
practices are seen to be done. Moreover, in the gatherings all the Muslims eat,
drink and enjoy like one family on special occasions. This is how all the
Muslims are treated in that sacred land.
