Hajj and Umrah have significant importance in Islam. Millions of Muslims from all parts of the world perform Hajj and Umrah each year. Both of these two are different religious activities and each has its own benefits and rewards. Both of these religious tasks are generally performed by those Muslims who can afford the required expenses. Although there are people who support other Muslims, especially the children provide financial support to their parents to make them visit Saudi Arabia in order to perform Hajj or Umrah. The majority of the Muslim dream to perform many Hajj and Umrah as possible, so that they can make Almighty Allah as happier as possible. All the Muslims consider it a terrific blessing if they manage to perform Hajj or Umrah. Both of these religious tasks are performed in Saudi Arabia but there are several differences between the two.
Days for Performing Hajj and Umrah
Hajj can only be performed in the specified days but Umrah can be performed anytime. No timing is set for performing Umrah and you can do it in the daytime or at night. Round the year, people from all over the globe came to Saudi Arabia in order to perform Umrah but for Hajj, people gather at Saudi Arabia only once for a few days. The reason behind is obviously that Hajj can be performed only in the specified days and you can't perform Hajj other than the specified days but this is not the case with Umrah as it can be done anytime, round the year on almost all days of the calendar year. Therefore, it is relatively easy to plan and schedule the Umrah trip because you can easily do it at the time of your choice but as Hajj can be done in particular days only and if you remain unable to schedule your Hajj trip during those days, you have to wait for the next year so that you can perform Hajj on the specified days in the coming year.
Hajj and Umrah Duration
There is a major difference in the duration of the Hajj and Umrah. Hajj needs several days to be completed but Umrah can be done in a few hours. This also makes Umrah much easier to perform as compared to Hajj as while performing Hajj, you need several days to finish but for Umrah, you don't even need a single day as it can be finished in just a few hours.
Individual Nature
Umrah is a religious activity of an individual nature. In order to perform Umrah, you don't need to take into account other people and you can do it individually at the time of your choice. Whenever it's possible for you to perform Umrah, you can do it without considering other people. However, this is not the case with Hajj. Hajj can't be performed all alone. There will be a lot of people accompanying you and you need to perform various tasks with them. During Hajj, various tasks have a time limit and all the people performing Hajj have to complete various tasks within the specified time limit.
