Background

For many years, members of the Refined Heart team have been blessed with the opportunity to travel to and spend time in the Haramayn — the Sacred Lands of Makkah and Madinah — in the company of individuals who truly appreciate its value. This experience has forever endowed us with a love for this space, and a realization of the opportunity and potential it creates for us, our families, and our relationship with Allah ﷻ. The journey of Umrah is undoubtedly an opportunity for us to make amends with our Lord, rectify our pasts, and plan for our futures. It has become a lifeline for us.

It is our desire to share this experience with our community, incorporating lessons from our prior travels and prioritizing the necessary components to create an opportunity for a truly spiritually uplifting journey. We are an organization that is focused on the spiritual development of our community, and the journey of Umrah is a perfect opportunity to strive toward this goal.

Testimonials

Whether you are traveling alone or a family with kids, this would be the best group to go with for umrah. The pre-trip curriculum is very comprehensive (does not overburden) and informative which helps with spiritual preparation for the trip.
This group takes care of literally everything, which keeps you focused on your real goal of the trip. The group leaders are like family.
Group duas were my favorite! I learned to make dua in such a new/different way and I think I really benefitted from that! I just feel like I got soo much more out of my umrah this way.
