NO. 2 PILGRIMAGE

Islam is built upon five pillars. One of them is pilgrimage to Mecca. It is obligatory for muslims who can offer the journey. Hajj, one kind of pilgrimage, is performed in the month of Zulhijja.

There is another kind of visit to Mecca called ‘ Umra. It is also compulsory once in a lifetime for those who are able to perform the journey, but the difference between ‘Umra and Hajj is that ‘Umra can be performed alone. The best time to perform ‘Umro is during the month of Ramadan, for the prophet said : “Umra during the month of Ramadan ,is equal to Hajj.” The reward of Hajj and ‘Umra is great reward in the sigt of God.
