Your Guide for This Journey

There's guidance in every step. There's wisdom in every turn. Meet the teacher who's walking beside you — not in front, not behind.

Sheikh Abu Malik Al-Sabbagh

As-salamu alaykum,

Umrah is not just a journey of movement — it's a journey of the heart.

When we walk the streets of Makkah together, it's not about sightseeing. It's about seeing differently. When we pray in Madinah, it's not just about the words — it's about presence.

My job is not to lecture you. It's to be there with you. To remind you. To help you remember.

If this is your first Umrah — I understand the nerves. If it's your fifth — I know it still feels new. Either way, I'm here. We'll walk this together, in shaa Allah.

— Sheikh Abu Malik Al-Sabbagh

What It's Like to Travel With Sheikh Abu Malik

He's not just quoting hadith — he's helping you feel them. Each story becomes a bridge between knowledge and heart, between what we know and how we live.
In Makkah, he's the one flying with you over the miqat, gently reminding you to purify your niyyah. Every step is explained with patience, every ibadah infused with meaning.
In Madinah, he leads not just in tahajjud — but in softness, in dua, in reflection. Walk through the city of the Prophet ﷺ with him, and learn about every moment in the prophet's ﷺ life.
