Meaning of Umra

The Umrah is a Pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, performed by Muslims that can be undertaken at any time of the year, in contrast to the Hajj. In Arabic, Umrah means "to visit a populated place". In the Sharia Umrah means to perform Tawaf round the Kaaba and Sa'I between Al-Safa and Al Marwah, after assuming Ihram (a sacred state), either from a Miqat like Masjid Al Ayesha in Mecca, Masjid E Taneem Al Hil Area Mecca, Masjid Al Miqat in Madenah. It is sometimes called the 'minor pilgrimage' or 'lesser pilgrimage', the Hajj being the 'major' pilgrimage and which is compulsory for every able-bodied Muslim who can afford it. The Umrah is not compulsory but highly recommended.

Rituals of Umrah

Tawaf Around Holy Kaaba 

The pilgrim performs a series of ritual acts symbolic of the lives of Ibrahim and his second wife Hajira and of solidarity with Muslims worldwide. These acts of faith are:

Perform a Tawaf Start point is Hajr e Aswad (HolyBlack stonewhich consists of circling the Kaaba seven times in an anticlockwise direction. Men are encouraged to do this three times at a hurried pace, followed by four times, more closely, at a leisurely pace.

• Perform a sa'i  which means rapidly walking seven times back and forth between the hills of Safa And Marwah. This is a re-enactment of Hajira's frantic search for water. The baby Ismael cried and hit the ground with his foot (some versions of the story say that an Angel scraped his foot or the tip of his wing along the ground), and water miraculously sprang forth. This source of water is today called the Well of Zamzam
• 
  



SA'I Between Safa And Marwah

• Perform a Halq or Taqsir, meaning a cutting of the hair. A taqsir is a partial shortening of the hair, whereas a halq is a complete shave of the head, except for women, as they cut a little amount of hair instead.

  

  Halq 

These rituals complete the Umrah, and the pilgrim can choose to go out of Ihram. Although not a part of the ritual, most pilgrims drink water from the Well of Zamzam. Various sects of Islam perform these rituals with slightly different methods.

Drinking ZamZam Water

The peak times of pilgrimage are the days before, during and after the Hajj and during the last ten days of Ramadan.
