Umrah
Uhud Visit
Emir Turizm is the company you should be looking for to perform the Umrah visit, also known as the minor pilgrimage, and to explore the holy sites in Mecca and Medina, ensuring a high-quality and comfortable visit. Emir Turizm, which has been organizing Hajj and Umrah tours for over 30 years, offers its services with its expert staff. For example, you can join our tours to see the site of the Battle of Uhud, one of the most important battles in Islamic history, besides the Kaaba. To take revenge for the defeat at Badr, the polytheists came with 3,000 men and fought at the foot of Mount Uhud with an army of 700 Muslims. In the Battle of Uhud, the polytheists were routed in a short time and fled, abandoning everything. However, the archers who left their posts before the commander's order created an opportunity for the polytheists, and thus Khalid ibn al-Walid circled the hill with his cavalry and surrounded the Muslims from behind. With the fleeing polytheists returning, the Muslims were caught between two fires, and 70 people, including Hamza, were martyred. The reorganized Muslims pushed back the polytheists in the third phase of the battle.
Kaaba Visit
Masjid al-Aqsa, which has been accepted as the Qibla since the time of Prophet Adam in Islam, is the structure that Prophet Ibrahim and those who followed his religion also faced. When our Prophet ascended to Mi'raj, prayer was made obligatory, and Masjid al-Aqsa was announced as the Qibla. However, our Prophet desired to pray facing the Kaaba due to the complaint of the Jews: "Muhammad and his companions, while not believing in our religion, are praying towards our Qibla." Thereupon, Allah Almighty says: "We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you shall be well-pleased. So turn your face toward Masjid al-Haram."(Al-Baqarah: 144). At that moment, our Prophet, in the 3rd rak'ah of the noon prayer, turned his face towards the Kaaba with the congregation without breaking the prayer. Later, this place was called "Masjid al-Qiblatain," meaning "Mosque of the Two Qiblas."
