Are You Looking For Umrah Dua List? One of the most noble acts to do during Umrah is to supplicate. Prayers made during Umrah are approved by Allah, especially when done at holy locations like Mataf (place of tawaf), the Hajr e Aswad, the Maqam e Ibrahim, and between Safa and Marwa while performing Sa’i. Allah almighty loves it when we come to him to express our innermost thoughts and ask for his blessings, and he always listens closely to our prayers and requests. During Umrah, we often observe numerous pilgrims carrying pocket size booklets and chanting specific prayers for every lap of tawaf and sa’i. Despite what is commonly thought, there are no particular prayers linked to each cycle of these ceremonies. The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made supplications at different times during Umrah, giving us examples to learn from. This compilation of supplications from the Quran and Sunnah is not comprehensive, you are free to make your own duas, including those for your loved ones, while performing Umrah. You do not have to pray only in Arabic. It is emphasised that understanding the significance of your prayers is more important than merely reciting them without thought. The prayers that the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited at various periods are listed below and can be recited during Umrah.

Dua for travelling

It is crucial to prepare spiritually before starting the Umrah journey by chanting a special dua that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught for travellers.

Before setting out of your house let us recite the following dua in order to remain in the safe folds of Allah, be guided by wisdom and get Support on the Journey.

Upon returning, he would recite the same words and add to them, “We are those who return, those who repent, those who worship, and those who praise our lord.”

An integral aspect of your Umrah experience is wearing an ihram. Offer two rakahs of the Sunnah prayer for ihram once you have entered the state of ihram. Next, express your intention to perform Umrah with the following phrase: Allahumma innee uridul umrah; fayassir haa li wa taqabbalahaa minnee. Translation: “o Allah! I intend to perform Umrah. Make it easy for me and accept it in your books.”

Talbiyah (intention to start worship) for Umrah

When we start our Umrah journey by entering ihram, we commence reciting the talbiyah. The talbiyah should be repeated frequently during our travels. It is advisable to read it in various situations like standing, sitting, walking, riding in a vehicle, lying down, in a state of minor or major impurity, or during menstruation. Umrah pilgrims are advised to cease reciting it right before starting the tawaf of Umrah. It is obligatory to state the talbiyah for a minimum of three or more repetitions. Since it is stated repeatedly, it is important to understand the essence in order to strengthen the relationship. It represents the core beliefs of believing in one god, surrendering, and having a strong spiritual bond with Allah. The talbiyah is: Labbayka Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayka La Sharika Laka Labbayk. Innal Hamda Wan-ni’mata laka Wal-mulk. La Sharika Lak. “At your service, Allah, at Your service. At Your service, You have no partner, at Your service. Truly all praise, favor and sovereignty are Yours. You have no partner.” Duas to recite during tawaf Tawaf involves moving in anti-clockwise circles around the Kaaba. A complete tawaf comprises seven circles, commencing and concluding at the black stone, hajr al Aswad. Stand yourself next to the black stone and say this prayer when the tawaf starts.

“I begin in the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest.”

Whenever you reach the yamani corner to the black stone, recite: Rabbanaa aatinaa fiddunya hasanah wa fil akhirati hasanah wa qinaa azaab annaar. “Our lord, give us goodness in this world, and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the torment of the fire!”

This period is the time for honest prayers because it is believed that any prayers typed out while viewing the Kaaba gets accepted. Here is a recommended prayer that reflects the significance of this moment: Allahumma zid hadha I-bayta tashrifan wa ta’dhiman wa takriman wa mahaba(tan), wa zid man sharrafahu wa karramahu mimman hajjahu awtamarahu tashrifan wa takriman wa ta’dhiman wa birra. “O Allah, increase this house in honour and esteem, reverence and awe, and increase the one who honours and ennobles it, of those who travel to for hajj or Umrah, in honour, esteem, reverence and piety.”

Duas for Sa’i

Sa’ee involves the dispensation of walking performed by the Umrah people where they walk seven times between two hills, safa, and Marwa. Saaf-hill is climbed for the first time, hence this verse from al-Quran can be chanted in this instance. Innassafaa wal marwata min sha’airillah, faman hajj al baeeta awi’tamara falaa junaaha a’laihi aiyattawwafa bihi maa, wa man tatawwa’a khairan fa innAllaha shaakirun a’leem. “Indeed, Safa and Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. So there is no sin on a person who walks along between them when making hajj to the house or performing Umrah. And Allah knows and appreciates him who does any good with a willing heart.”

Laa ilaha illAllahu wahdahu anjaza wa’dahu, wa nasara ‘abdahu wa hadhamal ahzaaba wahdahu There is nothing worthy of worship except Allah alone.
