Umrah
Millions of Muslims from around the world travel to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, each year to perform Umrah, an Islamic pilgrimage. Umrah is a voluntary act of love, devotion, and gratitude to Allah. Umrah is often referred to as the ‘minor’ Hajj. While Hajj is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and should be performed at least once during a Muslim’s lifetime, Umrah is Sunnah – a tradition of the Prophet (PBUH) – and can be performed anytime of the year except during the five days of Hajj.
This beautiful spiritual journey is an opportunity to purify the soul, heart, mind and body. Umrah offers an opportunity for Muslims to refresh their faith, seek forgiveness and pray for their needs. One who performs it is said to be cleansed of their sins. Essentially, Umrah means ‘a visit’ to the Holy Kaaba (the Sacred House of God) in Arabic and can be performed by anyone, anytime of the year.
The Prophet ﷺ performed Umrah four times during his life.

‘The performance of Hajj and Umrah increase a person’s life span and eradicates poverty and sins just as rust is removed from the iron when placed in the furnace.’ (Targhib)
