The Programme
Our programme is based around the symbolisms of the greatest journey on Earth, the Hajj.
How do we make Allah the centre of our lives just as the Ka’bah remains the center of the Tawaf ritual? It is an act of submission and subservience, a quality you will learn to master.
We will all gather on Mount ‘Arafah beseeching God for forgiveness answering for our deeds. What better time than to start filling our Jannah bags with the best of deeds, serving others
You’ll learn to be conscious of both the internal and external evils in the world that seek to tempt us away from God and away from righteousness.

"Pilgrim has been part of my blood since existence, literally. I have been a volunteer since the start and I plan to be part of the family for a very long time. When I said its part of my blood, I mean it, my Parents and brother are all core volunteers of Pilgrim. I had the lovely pleasure of travelling with Pilgrims in 2018. I've seen the work first hand and i strongly believe Pilgrim will be key market mover in the Hajj/Umrah industry and be number one knowledge provider of the fifth pillar of Islam Insha'Allah. Pilgrim are making real changes to people's life's, healing hearts of people suffering from extreme hardship and providing them with family. The culture of Pilgrim is none like other, they are have family culture, they care and look out for your development; proving Qu'ran classes to free webinars, regular phone calls to check on our wellbeing. Alhamdulilah for Pilgrim.

"I got to know Pilgrim when they were known as the Ultimate Healing Umrah fund. My family had experienced a tremendous tragedy, my sister was amongst the first group of people that benefited from the Ultimate Healing Umrah fund. After seeing what it did for my sister, I became dedicated to the cause and was determined to help others who had also suffered unimaginable loss. Not only was I helping those in need and building up my Jannah bag but the process also helped to heal my own wounds.

"I have been a volunteer for the charity Pilgrim for a short period of time. Brother Nur one of the organisers of Pilgrim told me to take part to climb Mount Snowdon to raise money for Umrah funds, which pays for people Umrah trip who cannot afford or are going through hardship. From there I have put my name down to be a volunteer for Pilgrim because of the amazing work they do. Climbing Mount Snowdon was a really good experience and really nice to meet the members of team Pilgrim and they were really welcoming. Recently as a volunteer I helped Pilgrim to raise money which goes towards the charity and the they work they do for the Muslim community. I'm really happy to be part of the Pilgrim journey.
