What is Umrah
Umrah is a beautiful spiritual journey taken by every single Muslim to acknowledge Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala – Glory to him, the exalted) as the harbinger of peace and to commune with him to purge the impurities within.
Any pilgrim who proceeds on this journey goes along the path to purify their soul, heart-mind, and body from the sins committed in the past to be distinguished from others on Resurrection day.
Essentially, the Umrah means ‘a visit’ to the Holy Kaaba (the Sacred House of God) in Arabic and can be performed by anyone, any time of the year; unlike Hajj, which is an obligatory pilgrimage to Makkah, performed every year within the first 10 days of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah.
Umrah Rituals
All pilgrims' faith acts during their spiritual journey to the Holy Kaaba are collectively known as the Umrah rituals.
Depending on whether one wishes to perform Hajj after the commencement of Umrah rituals, there are two types of Umrah: Al Umrah Al Mufradah (optional before Hajj) and Umrah Al Tammatu (obligatory before Hajj).
The four acts of Umrah Al Mufradah involve fulfilling some religious duties and rituals, each anchoring the pilgrim in the right moment towards complete atonement.
