Indeed all praise is for Allah, we praise Him and we seek His help and forgiveness. I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is His final Messenger. To proceed:-

The Messenger of Allah stated, "One Umrah is a expiation for the sins commtted between it and another Umrah". (Bukharee and Muslim)
This hadeeth implies firstly if one performs Umrah according to the Quran and Sunnah it will be a means for your sins to be forgiven if Allah wills and secondly it is a act of worship that can be done multiple times. By Allah there wasn't a brother that i spoke to except that they gave me glad tidings about this past trip and their intent to return next year insha Allah. I would like to also thank my beloved brothers from SPUBS for opening the door for us here in the U.S to travel with them to KSA. I would like thank my dear brothers from the U.K, Abu Khadijah, Abu Hakeem and Abu Maryam. I would also like to give a special thanks to my brothers Isa Underdue and Rasheed Barbee for looking over my group from Philadelphia when it was clear that I wouldnt be able to travel. I can only pray that our Lord the Most High will allow me back next year to His holy house.

Love for Ahlus Sunnah wa Hadeeth,
