Hajj and Umrah are two significant rituals in Islam. Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and is obligatory for every Muslim who is physically and financially able to perform it at least once in their lifetime. Hajj takes place during specific months (Shawwal, Dhul-Qi'dah, and the days of Dhul-Hijjah) and involves a series of rituals performed in the holy city of Mecca. Umrah, on the other hand, is a lesser pilgrimage that can be performed at any time of the year. It is not obligatory like Hajj but is highly recommended. The rituals of Umrah include Tawaf (circling the Kaaba) and Sa'i (walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah). Importance of Hajj and Umrah: Spiritual Purification: Both rituals aim at the purification of the soul and drawing closer to Allah. Unity: They gather Muslims from all over the world, promoting a sense of unity and brotherhood. Reward and Blessings: Performing Hajj and Umrah is considered one of the acts that earn a Muslim great rewards.
