The Sacred Journey of Umrah: More Than Just Travel
Umrah holds a unique position in Islamic practice. While not obligatory like Hajj, this "lesser pilgrimage" carries profound spiritual significance—offering purification, renewal, and a chance to walk in the footsteps of prophets. The rituals of Ihram, Tawaf, Sa'i, and Halq create a transformative experience that millions undertake seeking spiritual elevation. However, in our modern world, this sacred journey exists alongside practical realities that require careful navigation.
