Umrah

At Layka Travel World we understand the profound significance of Umrah in the lives of millions of Muslims worldwide. Umrah, often referred to as the lesser pilgrimage, is a spiritual journey that holds a special place in the hearts of those who embark on this sacred expedition. Here, we provide you with an overview of Umrah, ensuring that your journey is enriched with knowledge and facilitated with ease.

Umrah is one of the most revered religious practices in Islam. It is an act of devotion that involves visiting the holy city of Mecca to perform a series of rituals. Unlike Hajj, which is obligatory for every financially and physically capable Muslim at least once in their lifetime, Umrah is a voluntary pilgrimage that can be undertaken at any time of the year. It is a demonstration of faith, humility, and an opportunity for personal purification.

Ihram: The sacred journey begins with donning the special white garments called Ihram. Ihram symbolizes a state of purity and devotion, and it is worn by male pilgrims. Female pilgrims are required to dress modestly.

Tawaf: Pilgrims circumambulate the Kaaba, the sacred cube-shaped structure in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, seven times in a counterclockwise direction. This act represents unity and the constant turning of one’s heart towards Allah.

Sa’i: Pilgrims walk seven times between the hills of Safa and Marwah, commemorating Hagar’s search for water for her son, Ismael. This is a symbol of faith and trust in Allah’s plan.

Tahallul: This involves the partial or complete shaving of the head, symbolizing humility and the relinquishing of worldly attachments.

Taqseer: For those not shaving their heads, it involves trimming a small portion of hair, symbolizing a fresh start and spiritual rebirth.

Visiting Other Holy Sites: Depending on time and inclination, pilgrims may also visit other sacred places in and around Mecca.

Unlike Hajj, which has specific dates and is performed during the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah, Umrah can be performed at any time of the year, except during the Hajj season. However, it is especially recommended during the holy month of Ramadan.
