Understanding Umrah and How to Prepare
Umrah is a sacred pilgrimage to Makkah (Mecca) that Muslims can undertake at any time of the year, unlike Hajj which has fixed dates. While Umrah is not obligatory like Hajj, it holds immense spiritual significance and offers an opportunity for Muslims to seek forgiveness, purify the soul, and strengthen their connection with Allah.
At Fly626, we are honored to assist travelers in fulfilling this meaningful journey with peace of mind, proper guidance, and seamless planning.
What is Umrah?
Umrah, often referred to as the “lesser pilgrimage,” involves visiting the holy city of Makkah and performing a specific set of rituals that include:
- Ihram – Entering a state of spiritual purity with special clothing.
- Tawaf – Circling the Kaaba seven times.
- Sa’i – Walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah.
- Halq or Taqsir – Shaving or trimming the hair as a symbol of humility.
Although shorter than Hajj, Umrah is highly rewarding and is considered an act of great devotion.
When Can You Perform Umrah?
Umrah can be performed anytime during the year, except during the days of Hajj. This flexibility allows Muslims to choose the most convenient time for their travel — whether it’s during Ramadan, a personal vacation, or a time of spiritual need.
