Superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently undertook a pilgrimage to Mecca, the holiest site for Muslims. Videos of him performing the Umrah are being widely viewed and shared on social media.

Unlike the Hajj, that must be undertaken on specific dates in accordance with the Islamic lunar calendar, the Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia can be done any time.

May Allah bless you and reward you for performing Umrah @iamsrk
