Review on Umrah 2021 | Monal Travels

As is well-known, the Hajj pilgrimage is one of the five pillars of Islam. Before the pandemic, millions of Muslims travel to Mecca from around the world to visit the Great Mosque of Mecca (Masjid al-Haram) and perform various religious rituals and devotion.
However, in addition to this Ibda (the act of worship), there is also the Umrah or the minor Hajj, which similarly necessitates Muslims to make their way to the Holy City and complete a set of rituals. Since theres a possibility of Saudi Arabia reopening their borders to pilgrims this year, let us learn more about the lesser-known Umrah pilgrimage for the year 2021.

What is Umrah?
Umrah translates to visiting a populated place, but what Muslims essentially do is visiting the Holy Kaaba and seizing the opportunity to become closer to Allah and renew their faith.
Any Muslim who can complete the pilgrimage is considered a guest of Allah Himself and is thus granted forgiveness and answered prayers.
How does Umrah differ from Hajj?
The main difference between Umrah and Hajj lies in the respective journeys. The Hajj is compulsory for all able-bodied Muslims with the financial means of doing so during the Hajj season. Umrah, on the other hand, is voluntary and can be undertaken at any time of the year outside the Hajj season.
The Hajj is also a more extensive and comprehensive worship experience lasting for five days as opposed to the Umrah which can be completed in a matter of hours. As such, the cost of performing the Hajj is astronomically higher than that of Umrah and requires pilgrims to be physically and mentally prepared for the journey.
However, both the major and minor journeys are centered on the Kaabah sitting at the center of the Masjid al-Haram; the sacred structure where Muslims all around the world direct their five daily prayers to.
