The Talbiyah

Labbayk Allahumma Labbayk, Labbayka La Shareeka Laka Labbayk. Innal Hamda Wan Ni'mata Laka Wal Mulk, La Shareeka Lak. This is the core chant of pilgrimage, recited from the Miqat until you begin Tawaf.

Duas for Tawaf

There's no single fixed dua for Tawaf — you may make any supplication. However, between the Yemeni Corner and the Black Stone, recite: Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan waqina azaban-nar.

Duas for Sa'i

When climbing Safa, face the Kaaba and say: Innas-Safa wal-Marwata min sha'a'irillah. Then make your personal duas facing the Kaaba. Repeat at Marwah.

Dua on Arafah

The Day of Arafah is the most important day of Hajj. The Prophet ﷺ said the best dua is: La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadir.

Personal Duas

While Arabic duas are recommended, Allah accepts sincere supplications in any language. Prepare a personal dua list before your trip — you don't want to forget important requests in the emotion of the moment.
