The Talbiyah

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

Labbayk Allāhumma labbayk, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayk, inna l-ḥamda wa n-niʿmata laka wa l-mulk, lā sharīka lak.

Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. All praise, blessing and sovereignty are Yours. You have no partner.

The Talbiyah of the Prophet ﷺ. Arabic from the hadith text: Sahih al-Bukhari 1549; Sahih Muslim 1184.

Day of Arafah

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Lā ilāha illā Allāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu l-mulku wa lahu l-ḥamd, wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr.

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things.

"The best supplication is the supplication of the Day of Arafah". At-Tirmidhi called it hasan gharib; it is graded hasan overall. Arabic from the hadith text: Jami' at-Tirmidhi 3585.

During Tawaf

رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۭ وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةًۭ وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

Rabbanā ātinā fi d-dunyā ḥasanatan wa fi l-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa qinā ʿadhāba n-nār.

Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.

Qur'an 2:201 (Arabic and Sahih International translation from the Qur'an API). The Prophet ﷺ said it between the Yemeni corner and the Black Stone: Sunan Abi Dawud 1892 (hasan).

Stoning the Jamarat

Say Allāhu akbar with each pebble.

Seven short dhikr, one per round

If you would like something simple to hold on to, here is one short, authentic dhikr for each of the seven rounds. None of them is tied to a particular round: this is just an easy way to keep your tongue busy with remembrance. Repeat it as you walk, and add your own duas in any language.

  1. Round 1
