🕋 What is Umrah?
Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca that can be performed at any time of the year (unlike Hajj, which has specific dates in the Islamic lunar calendar). It's a spiritual journey and a deeply rewarding act of worship for Muslims.
✨ Key Steps of Umrah:
Ihram – Entering a sacred state after making the intention (niyyah). Men wear two white sheets; women wear modest clothing.
Tawaf – Circling the Kaaba 7 times in a counter-clockwise direction.
Sa’i – Walking 7 times between the hills of Safa and Marwah.
Halq or Taqsir – Shaving the head (for men) or cutting a small portion of hair (for women), signifying the end of Umrah.
✈️ Requirements:
Valid passport & visa (for Saudi Arabia)
Vaccinations (like meningitis and COVID-19 if required)
Ihram clothing
Spiritual and physical preparation
