Duas for Umrah
The duas of Umrah
ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
Ghafir 40:60
There is no fixed dua for each circuit of tawaf, so ask Allah in your own words and your own language. These are the duas that come from the Sunnah and the practice of the Companions, set out in the order you will need them. Tap Large to read one across the whole screen.
Entering ihram
The intention for Umrah
اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ فَيَسِّرْهَا لِي وَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي
Allāhumma innī urīdu al-ʿumrata fa yassirhā lī wa taqabbalhā minnī
O Allah, I intend Umrah, so make it easy for me and accept it from me.
The wording given in the Hanafi manuals
The talbiyah
لَبَّيْكَ اللّٰهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ
Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna al-ḥamda wa al-niʿmata laka wa al-mulk, lā sharīka lak
Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. All praise and all blessing are Yours, and all dominion. You have no partner.
Bukhari and Muslim
At Masjid al-Haram
Entering the masjid
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ، اللّٰهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ
Bismillāh, wa al-ṣalātu wa al-salāmu ʿalā rasūlillāh. Allāhumma iftaḥ lī abwāba raḥmatik
In the name of Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy.
Muslim and Ibn Majah
On first seeing the Kaaba
اللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ فَحَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا بِالسَّلَامِ
Allāhumma anta al-salām wa minka al-salām, fa ḥayyinā rabbanā bi al-salām
O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace, so greet us, our Lord, with peace. Then ask for whatever you wish. It is also reported that the Prophet ﷺ raised his hands on seeing the Kaaba and asked Allah to increase the honour, respect and reverence of the House, and the honour and rank of the one who performs Hajj or Umrah.
Reported from Sayyiduna ʿUmar on seeing the House (Bayhaqi)
In tawaf
At the Black Stone
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ، اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ
Bismillāh, Allāhu akbar
In the name of Allah. Allah is the Greatest.
The takbir is in Bukhari, and Ibn ʿUmar added the Bismillah (Bayhaqi)
Between the Yamani corner and the Black Stone
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Rabbanā ātinā fi al-dunyā ḥasanatan wa fi al-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa qinā ʿadhāba al-nār
Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
Abu Dawud
At Maqam Ibrahim
وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
Wa ittakhidhū min maqāmi Ibrāhīma muṣallā
And take the station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.
al-Baqarah 2:125 (Muslim)
Drinking Zamzam
اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا، وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ
Allāhumma innī asʾaluka ʿilman nāfiʿan, wa rizqan wāsiʿan, wa shifāʾan min kulli dāʾ
O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that benefits, provision that is wide, and healing from every illness.
Reported from Ibn ʿAbbas (Daraqutni)
In Sa'i
Approaching Safa
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللّٰهِ، أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللّٰهُ بِهِ
Inna al-ṣafā wa al-marwata min shaʿāʾirillāh. Abdaʾu bimā badaʾa Allāhu bih
Indeed Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. I begin with what Allah began with.
Muslim
On Safa and Marwah
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ
Lā ilāha illā Allāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu al-mulku wa lahu al-ḥamd, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr. Lā ilāha illā Allāhu waḥdah, anjaza waʿdah, wa naṣara ʿabdah, wa hazama al-aḥzāba waḥdah
There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. There is no god but Allah alone. He fulfilled His promise, gave victory to His servant and defeated the confederates alone.
Muslim, said three times with dua in between
Between the green lights
رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعَزُّ الْأَكْرَمُ
Rabbi ighfir wa irḥam, innaka anta al-aʿazzu al-akram
My Lord, forgive and have mercy. You are the Most Mighty, the Most Generous.
Reported from Ibn Masʿud and Ibn ʿUmar (Ibn Abi Shaybah)
