In religion & sprituality, pilgrimage is a long journey in search of great moral significance. Sometimes, it is a journey to a shrine of importance to a person's beliefs & faith. Members of many major religions participate in pilgrimages. A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim.
The Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, performed by Muslims, that can be undertaken at any time of the year. In Arabic, Umrah means "to visit a populated place". In the Sharia, Umrah means to perform Tawaf round the Kaaba and Sa’i between Al-Safa & Al-Marwah, after assuming Ihram (a sacred state), either from a Miqat like Zu 'l-Hulafa, Juhfa, Qarnu 'l-Manāzil, Yalamlam, Zāt-i-'Irq, Ibrahīm Mursīa, or a place in Hill.
It is sometimes called the 'minor pilgrimage' or 'lesser pilgrimage', the Hajj being the 'major' pilgrimage and which is compulsory for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. One who steps out in the path of Umrah is considered a pilgrim until he reaches back home.
It is extremely critical and important that a person who intends to perform Umrah learn the basics of this act of worship including the obligatory actions and what makes Umrah null and what should be done in case there is a chance to compensate for mistakes.
The Umrah is not compulsory but highly recommended.
Allow Journeys of Faith, the opportunity to be a part of your spiritual resurgence.
