Known as the 'lesser pilgrimage', Umrah is performed by numerous Muslims by embarking on a journey to Makkah from their place of residence. Although this pilgrimage has rituals that are commonly performed during the major pilgrimage of Hajj, it is not mandatory and can be performed at any time of the year. It has a special place in the hearts of Muslims across the world, as it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The lesser pilgrimage can be accomplished within a few hours, as it involves fewer rituals than Hajj. It can be performed by any Muslim who is physically and financially capable to undertake the journey to the holy city of Makkah.
