Ihram

Ihram is a sacred state that Muslims enter when preparing to perform the pilgrimage (Hajj or Umrah). It involves wearing specific clothing—men wear two white, seamless cloths, and women wear modest attire—signifying purity and equality before God. While in Ihram, pilgrims refrain from certain actions like cutting hair, using perfume, engaging in arguments, or hunting. The spiritual focus emphasizes humility, devotion, and a sense of unity among pilgrims. This state helps believers concentrate on their spiritual journey, demonstrating their commitment and surrender to God's will during the pilgrimage.
