A guide to Umrah rituals
For those who are unaware, the term “Umrah” refers to a pilgrimage to Mecca that is a shorter form of the yearly Hajj gathering. Umrah, which means “visiting a crowded place” in Arabic, denotes this. Muslims have the chance to reaffirm their faith, ask for pardon, and pray for their needs during umrah. Those who do so, it is claimed, are absolved of their sins. Furthermore, it is entirely voluntary. The tradition holds extreme spiritual value for the Muslims.
