Duas

Essential Umrah Duas

The key duas recited at each stage of Umrah, given with Arabic text, transliteration, and English translation so you can follow along even before you have them memorised. As with Hajj, none of these need to be recited from memory or in Arabic only — dua in your own words and your own language is equally valid and encouraged throughout.

Talbiyah

Recited continuously from the moment you enter Ihram at the Miqat, falling silent only once you begin Tawaf.

لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ

Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharika laka labbayk, innal-hamda wan-ni'mata laka wal-mulk, la sharika lak.

Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise, blessings, and sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner. Repeat it often on the way to Makkah — many pilgrims say it between every few breaths — as it is the primary form of remembrance encouraged throughout the journey to the Haram.

حاضر ہوں، اے اللہ! میں حاضر ہوں۔ میں حاضر ہوں، تیرا کوئی شریک نہیں، میں حاضر ہوں۔ بے شک تمام تعریف اور نعمت تیرے ہی لیے ہے اور بادشاہت بھی تیری ہی ہے، تیرا کوئی شریک نہیں۔

Entering Masjid al-Haram

Said while stepping in with the right foot first, the same etiquette as entering any mosque, but carrying extra weight here as you are about to see the Kaaba for the first time.

اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ

Allahumma iftah li abwaba rahmatik.

O Allah, open the doors of Your mercy for me. Many pilgrims pause just inside to make a personal, unscripted dua the moment they catch their first sight of the Kaaba — tradition holds this to be one of the moments a sincere dua is especially likely to be answered.

اے اللہ! میرے لیے اپنی رحمت کے دروازے کھول دے۔

During Tawaf

Recited between the Yamani Corner and the Black Stone on each of the seven circuits — you do not need to complete the full verse every round, and any dua in this stretch is encouraged.

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar.

Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire. This verse (Quran 2:201) is the most commonly recited line during Tawaf precisely because it is short, memorable, and comprehensive — asking for good in both this life and the next in a single breath.

اے ہمارے رب! ہمیں دنیا میں بھی بھلائی دے اور آخرت میں بھی بھلائی دے، اور ہمیں آگ کے عذاب سے بچا۔

Atop Safa and Marwah

Recited facing the Kaaba at the start of Sa'i while standing on Safa, and repeated again atop Marwah at the end of each length — said three times at each hill before moving on.

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, yuhyi wa yumit, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir.

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over all things. Between the takbirs, pilgrims are free to add their own personal dua before beginning the walk to the next hill.

اللہ سب سے بڑا ہے، اللہ سب سے بڑا ہے، اللہ سب سے بڑا ہے، اللہ کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں، وہ اکیلا ہے، اس کا کوئی شریک نہیں، بادشاہت اسی کی ہے اور تعریف اسی کے لیے ہے، وہی زندگی دیتا اور موت دیتا ہے، اور وہ ہر چیز پر قادر ہے۔

After drinking Zamzam

Said while facing the Kaaba if possible, ideally drunk standing and in three breaths rather than one continuous gulp, following the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) example.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ

Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan wasi'an, wa shifa'an min kulli da'.

O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, abundant provision, and healing from every ailment. Zamzam water is available freely throughout the Haram and is often taken home in sealed containers for family who could not travel — its dua is traditionally believed to be answered according to the intention of whoever drinks it.

اے اللہ! میں تجھ سے نفع بخش علم، وسیع رزق اور ہر بیماری سے شفا مانگتا ہوں۔

These duas are provided for general guidance. We recommend following the direction of your Hajj or Umrah guide (Mu'allim) or a qualified scholar during your journey for the precise recitations and rulings that apply to your group.
