Umrah is a journey to the holiest place of Muslims, the holy Kaaba (House of God) in Mecca. Men and women of different ethnic groups, social statuses, and cultures can make this spiritual journey of faith. It is a journey of devotion to Allah.
Dua of Starting Umrah: (Bismillahi wal hamdulillahi wassaulatu a’laa rausulillah, Allauhummaghfirlee zunoobee waf tahlee abwaaba rauhmatik). Translation: I begin in the name of Allah, all praise be to Him, and Blessings be upon the Prophet of Allah; O Allah, forgive my sins and open for me the gates of your mercy.
