The Al-Andalusia Islamic University of Spain participated last December 6 in an Umrah organized by Islamic ReliefThe event was attended by several students from our university community, many of whom are also involved in the humanitarian work of this organization.

This experience was particularly significant in that it brought together, in the same space, the academic formation, social commitment and spiritual experience. In this context, the Rector and professor of the University, Sh. Mohammad Idrissi Alcarazaccompanied the group as guideplaying a role of both academic and spiritual reference throughout the journey.

The itinerary began in the city of Medinawhere the participants visited some of the most representative sites of the Islamic tradition, including Masjid Quba, Uhud and other sites linked to the life of the Prophet ﷺ. These visits allowed to deepen historical and spiritual knowledge, favoring spaces for reflection and shared learning.

Subsequently, the group moved on to MakkahThe Umrah was held there, culminating a journey marked by coexistence, dedication to worship and awareness of the formative value of this type of experience.

From the Islamic University of Spain Al-Andalusia, we value positively the collaboration with Islamic Relief and the active participation of our students in initiatives that integrate the following aspects education, service and spiritualityThe program is a fundamental element of our academic project.

We pray to Allah to accept this Umrah and grant benefit and growth to all participants.
