Sheikh Jamal Hammoud, Imam if Muslims Council of Calgary, Canada, delivered an information session to a badge of people going for Umrah. The ʿUmrah an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca that can be undertaken at any time of the year, in contrast to the Ḥajj.
Umrah requires Muslims to perform two key rituals, Tawaf and Sa'i. For men, it is recommended to do the first three circuits in a hurried pace, followed by four rounds of a more leisurely pace. This is followed by Sa'i between Safa and Marwah in the Great Mosque of Mecca, a walk to commemorate Hagar's search for water for her son and God's mercy in answering prayers. Pilgrims conclude the pilgrimage with Halq, a partial or complete shortening of the hair.
Umrah is sometimes considered the "lesser pilgrimage", in that it is not compulsory, but is still highly recommended.
