A Sacred Reward: Jordanian Orphans Embark on Umrah After Excelling in Quran Memorization
Sharjah Charity International has organized the Umrah trip for 48 sponsored orphans in Jordan who won the association’s Holy Quran memorization Competition, held recently as part of its year-round programs for beneficiaries.
The group, accompanied by supervisors, travelled to the holy sites to perform Umrah in recognition of their excellence and achievement in memorizing the Holy Quran.
Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Ali, Director of the Sponsorship and Orphan Care Department, said the beneficiaries departed Jordan with great joy, as many were performing Umrah for the first time in their lives. The trip was made possible through the support of donors who contribute to the association’s charitable campaigns and projects.
He added that the initiative serves as a form of appreciation for the winners while encouraging young people to recite, memorize and reflect on the Holy Quran, helping to instill its values and morals within the community.
Al Ali noted that the initiative received a strong positive response from the launch of the competition through the announcement of winners and the organization of the Umrah journey, enabling participants to visit the Grand Mosque in Mecca and perform the sacred rituals.
Sharjah Charity International oversaw all travel arrangements, including visa issuance, flight bookings, accommodation in Mecca and Medina, and internal transportation, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey. Dedicated supervisors accompanied the group to guide the pilgrims and ensure the correct performance of Umrah rituals.
