Umrah is similar to Hajj but can be performed at any time. To maximize pilgrimages, believers often perform Umrah during the holy month of Ramadan. Unlike Hajj, Umrah rituals are shorter and simpler. Umrah requires Muslims to perform two key rituals, Tawaf and Sa’i. Tawaf is a circling round the Kaaba seven times. 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…

Hijab

In modern usage, hijab (حجاب), generally refers to customary headcoverings worn by Muslim women. Many Muslims believe it is obligatory for every female Muslim who has reached the age of puberty to wear a head covering. While such headcoverings can come in many forms, hijab often specifically refers to a cloth wrapped around the head, neck and chest, covering the hair and neck but leaving the face visible. The Qur’an instructs Muslim women and men to dress modestly and for some, the hijab is worn by Muslim girls and women to…

In a town with a small population, historians estimate about 70 houses were…
