The Complete Umrah Guide

At Sedra Travel, we specialize in providing hassle-free Umrah and Hajj packages tailored specifically for Muslims living in the USA. As one of the most significant spiritual journeys in Islam, Umrah is a profound experience that every Muslim should strive to perform. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Umrah, how Sedra Travel can simplify your pilgrimage, and why we’re the best choice for your sacred journey.

 

 

What Is Umrah?

 

Umrah is a non-mandatory pilgrimage to Makkah that can be performed at any time of the year, unlike Hajj, which has specific dates. Often referred to as the “lesser pilgrimage,” Umrah holds immense spiritual rewards and allows Muslims to renew their connection with Allah.

 

The rites of Umrah include:

1. Ihram: Entering a state of purity and intention.

2. Tawaf: Circling the Kaaba seven times.

3. Sa’i: Walking between Safa and Marwah.

4. Halq or Taqsir: Shaving or trimming the hair.
