Umrah Meaning & Origin

About Umrah
The name "Umrah" is of Arabic origin and holds religious significance in Islam. It refers to a minor pilgrimage that Muslims undertake to the holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Unlike the major pilgrimage known as Hajj, Umrah can be performed at any time of the year and is not obligatory but highly recommended. It involves a series of rituals, including circling the Kaaba, walking between the hills of Safa and Marwa, and shaving or trimming the hair. Umrah is considered a spiritually rewarding journey that allows Muslims to seek closeness to Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins.
