What is the Umrah?
Umrah is an act of worshipping Allah by entering the state of Ihram, circumambulating the House, running between Safa and Marwa, and having the head shaved or trimmed.
Motivation
According to Al Quran,
Perform Umrah and Hajj for the sake of Allah (SWT).
Essentially, the 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; unlike Hajj, which is an obligatory pilgrimage to Makkah, performed every year within the first 10 days of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. The main reason to write this blog is to share my experience with my brothers and sisters who are planning to endeavor on this journey of a life time.
