There are four main pillars of Umrah

Ihram, Tawaf, Saee between Safa and Marwah, and Tahallul.

The main purpose of Umrah is to clean the soul of past sins. A Muslim can perform Umrah more than once in a lifetime. Umrah is also seen as protection from poverty and the burdens of life, as a pilgrim is spending their wealth and time in the way of Allah.

Umrah means 'a visit' to the Holy Kaaba (the Sacred House of God) in Arabic and can be performed by muslims, anytime of the year.
