There is no denying that the cost of performing Umrah is expensive and not everyone can afford it. But based on my observation, lately more and more people have started to take an interest and try their best to perform Umrah. To make the journey even easier, Muslim Pro now offers a solution.
The sharing in this article is based on my interview with the CEO of Muslim Pro, Nafees Khundker.
The famous prayer time application Muslim Pro is now working with Umrahme, which is a well-known umrah agency in Arabia and several other global countries. What's interesting about Muslim Pro's offering is that they focus on DIY umrah packages compared to the complete packages often offered by other agencies in Malaysia. Although this feature is built into the Muslim Pro app, for now it's still more about opening Umrahme in the built-in web browser.
To attract more people, Muslim Pro offers packages that are like only Umrah with 2 days 1 night stay. There are also umrah + pilgrimage packages to Mecca and Medina, packages for Miqat only are also given, and special packages with the Haramain train can also be selected. According to Muslim Pro, they try to offer the most competitive prices. Then every booking made, a 1-year Muslim Pro Premium subscription will be given for free.
Muslim Pro is also planning a flexible payment offering, but wants a partner that only offers fully syariah-compliant payments. In the future, the feature of saving money to buy Umrah packages will also be introduced. Only no further information is shared.
I was also surprised when the Muslim Pro representative agreed with my idea, where if the application already offers a feature to track the 5-hour prayer process - it would be interesting if there was a feature to track the Umrah journey. For example, informing users how many times they have circumambulated the Kaaba, tracking Saie and others. Even more surprised when Muslim Pro CEO Nafees Khundker revealed that Muslim Pro will soon collaborate with physical product manufacturers for this umrah tracking feature.
