Umrah is an Islamic non-compulsory but a highly recommended pilgrimage. Muslims perform Umrah to make repentance for their sins, increase in righteousness and ask Allah to fulfill their wishes. The central locations for performing Umrah are Makkah and Madinah. Muslims can perform Umrah on any day of the year. Umrah takes less time than Hajj, not more than 4 to 6 hours.
