Umrah is the minor pilgrimage which is practised by muslim when they enter Mecca.Pilgrims who are visiting to the obligatory muslim practice Hajj have a choice of visiting Umrah. The practice of Umrah can be performed with Hajj or it can also be practised separately.When pilgrims enter to perform the practice of Umrah they enter into Mecca and circle the sacred shrine of Kabba seven times to successfully perform this practice, they then worship the sacred stone of Maqam Ibrahim and drink the holy water of Zamzam spring. Then after performing these rituals they run between the hills of al-safa and al-marwah and after that the men shave their heads to complete the pilgrimage of Umrah. When Umrah is performed along with the Hajj the rituals of the Umrah are performed first and then the rituals of Hajj are performed. In other way when Umrah is practised alone without performing the rituals of Hajj then it is considered as single Umrah.
