What are the recommended acts for increasing reward during 'Umrah, and what are the best gifts to bring back from there for family members to earn reward?
Umrah is an act of worship with immense reward. The pilgrim can obtain abundant reward by utilizing their time in the Sacred Mosque (Haram) in Mecca through acts of obedience, such as frequently performing circumambulation (Tawaf), supplicating (Du'a), reciting the Qur'an, engaging in remembrance (Dhikr), maintaining congregational prayers, and gazing at the Kaaba. Acts of obedience are multiplied in the Sacred Mosque or in the entire Haram area. It is desirable for the traveler to bring gifts to bring joy to their family and neighbors. Among the best gifts is Zamzam water due to the virtues mentioned concerning it, in addition to beneficial gifts such as Islamic booklets, audiotapes, and copies of the Qur'an.
