BINTULU, June 24 — The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture plans to introduce Malaysia as a key umrah hub where Muslims from the Asian region could gather before leaving for Mecca, Saudi Arabia to perform the pilgrimage.
In Islam, umrah is different from Haj in that the former can be performed at any time except during the Haj season, and also umrah is more of a religious visit to Mecca that is not compulsory for every Muslim, whereas Haj is an obligation under ‘Five Pillars of Islam’ where depending on one’s affordability and situation, should be performed at least once in a lifetime.
