Umrah

This is my colleague, Sirhab, who has just completed Umrah.

Umrah is a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Hajj is the pilgrimage done in the month of Hajj. Umrah is performed any time.

Hajj is compulsory for all Muslims to do once in their lifetime, unless they are too poor to manage it, or not physically able to get there.

If you do Umrah, you still need to do Hajj once in your life.

He is going to give me some Zamzam water next week. It is from the sacred well, and is very good stuff.
