Umrah is a beautiful and deeply spiritual pilgrimage that Muslims can perform at any time of the year. Unlike Hajj, which is obligatory once in a lifetime for those who are able, Umrah is a voluntary act of worship that carries immense reward. It involves visiting the sacred city of Mecca to perform specific rituals in devotion to Allah.

Understanding how to perform Umrah properly ensures a more meaningful and spiritually uplifting experience. Below is a simple step-by-step guide to help first-time pilgrims prepare for and complete this holy journey, along with insights from the Quran and visits to significant sacred sites.

What Is Umrah?

No not today/yesterday, but time ago.

Back, time ago I went for umrah. as you do. during ramadan. As you do. Because my mum wanted to go and I had calculated that if I said no, I wouldn't hear the end of it for atleast a year. As you do.

any way, I tried at first to sort of drag my feet but eventually everything got sorted and we were off on our way.
