Reduce Cost of Travel to Makkah with Cheap Umrah Packages
Umrah has a special place in Islam and is performed by Muslims across the world as it is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). However, when compared to the major pilgrimage of Hajj, it is called the 'lesser pilgrimage' or the 'minor pilgrimage'. The reason for this is the importance that Hajj has in Islam, as the major pilgrimage is one of its five pillars and mandatory for every able-bodied and financially capable Muslim. Umrah is not compulsory but carries its own spiritual rewards for the pilgrim who undertakes the journey to the holy city of Makkah in order to perform it. Hajj is performed in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, but the lesser pilgrimage can be performed at any time during the year. This is the reason why Muslims living in the United Kingdom are always on the lookout for an appropriate time when they can embark on their sacred journey to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to accomplish their minor pilgrimage.
