| Umrah
is a great act of worship that is
obligatory upon every Muslim once in his
life. The rewards and virtues of
performing umrah are many, the Prophet
(s) mentioned is a hadith, “Between one
umrah and another is an expiation of
sins”. Performing Umrah in the month of
Ramadan has a special significance, the
Prophet (s) said, “Whoever performs
Umrah in Ramadan, receives the reward
like one who performs Hajj with me.”
Umrah can be performed at anytime of the
year (although umrah visas are issued
from Rabi al-Awwal to Ramadan only) and
usually takes about 3 hours to perform
under normal circumstances. |
