What is Umrah?

Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca that can be undertaken at any time of the year, unlike Hajj which has specific dates. It is considered a voluntary act of worship for Muslims.

While Umrah is not obligatory like Hajj, it is highly recommended and holds great spiritual significance.

Key Differences from Hajj:

• Can be performed any time of the year
• Shorter duration (can be completed in a few hours)
• Voluntary, not obligatory
• Fewer rituals compared to Hajj
