Umrah Dua Guide: Authentic Duas for Every Step
Looking for an English guide to Umrah dua with the Arabic duas only? This concise, SEO-friendly overview covers Umrah niyat dua, Talbiyah, duas Umrah for entering Masjid al-Haram, Tawaf and Sa’i, Zamzam, and after shaving/cutting the hair. Important note: there are no fixed, mandatory duas for every round of Tawaf or between Safa and Marwah. You can make any dhikr, recite Qur’an, send salawat upon the Prophet, and make heartfelt personal supplications in your own language. Where specific, established duas exist, we list them below in Arabic. Ihram and Umrah Niyat Dua Intention (niyyah) is in the heart. If you wish to utter your intent when entering Ihram for Umrah, you may say: لَبَّيْكَ عُمْرَةً Then maintain the Talbiyah frequently until you begin Tawaf: لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ Entering Masjid al-Haram Enter with the right foot, in a state of humility, and recite: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ Tawaf Duas Umrah: What to Recite Around the Ka’bah Beginning Tawaf at the Black Stone If possible, face the Black Stone, raise your hand, and say: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ General Dhikr During Each Circuit There is no fixed litany for each round. Use Quranic verses, tasbih, tahmid, takbir, tahlil, and salawat, and make personal dua. A concise dhikr to repeat is: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ Between Rukn Yamani and the Black Stone A prescribed supplication here is: رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ Two Rak’ah at Maqam Ibrahim and Zamzam Dua After completing seven circuits, pray two rak’ah near Maqam Ibrahim if feasible (first rak’ah with Surah Al-Kafirun, second with Surah Al-Ikhlas is recommended). Then proceed to drink Zamzam and make dua: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا، وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ Sa’i Duas Between Safa and Marwah Starting at Safa When approaching Safa, recite the verse, then begin with what Allah began with: إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا وَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ On Safa and on Marwah (Facing the Ka’bah) Raise your hands, praise Allah, and say the following. It is sunnah to repeat this dhikr three times, making personal duas in between: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ While Walking Between the Two Hills Continue with general dhikr, Qur’an recitation, salawat, and personal duas. Men jog lightly between the green markers; women walk normally. Halq or Taqsir: Closing Your Umrah After completing Sa’i, men shave (halq) or trim (taqsir); women trim a fingertip-length from the end of their hair. Make a concluding supplication such as: اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي وَاغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ Umrah Dua Cards and Your Personal Dua Book Create pocket-sized Umrah dua cards with the Arabic duas listed above plus space for your own dua prompts (parents, guidance, forgiveness, health, lawful sustenance, the Ummah). Prepare a “dua book for Umrah” before you travel: organize duas by theme (faith, family, finances, health, akhirah). Add names of relatives and friends so you don’t forget. Save a PDF of your dua list on your phone for offline access; keep paper backup for low-battery moments. Remember: sincerity, humility, and presence of heart matter more than length or eloquence. FAQs: Fixed Duas vs. Personal Supplication – Are there fixed duas for every Tawaf round? No. Beyond the established remembrances above (start of Tawaf, between Rukn Yamani and the Black Stone), you may recite any dhikr or dua. – Can I make dua in my own language? Yes, throughout Tawaf and Sa’i, you can supplicate in your language. – Is transliteration necessary? If you cannot read Arabic, use dua cards that show Arabic text alongside your native-language meanings—but recite what you can with understanding and sincerity. Final Note This Umrah dua guide prioritizes authentic, concise duas Umrah worshipers can actually use on the move. Keep your tongue moist with dhikr, keep your heart present, and ask Allah for the best of this world and the next. May Allah accept your Umrah. آمين.
