Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, that can be done any time of the year, unlike Hajj which has specific dates. While Hajj is a mandatory pilgrimage for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it at least once in their life, Umrah is a voluntary but highly significant act of worship. It involves rituals like walking around the Kaaba (Tawaf) and walking between the hills of Safa and Marwa (Sa’i). Umrah is a spiritual journey for Muslims to seek closeness to Allah and purify their soul.
