Begin with the Talbiyah: the pilgrim's answer to Allah's call. This section will grow rite by rite, using transmitted wording and keeping practical fiqh guidance clearly separated.
Rabbana taqabbal minna, innaka anta-s-Sami'u-l-'Alim.
“Our Lord, accept this from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”
The prayer Ibrahim (AS) and Ismail (AS) made while raising the foundations of the Ka'bah. Even during a great act of worship, they asked Allah (SWT) to accept it.
Labbayka Allahumma labbayk. Labbayka la sharika laka labbayk. Inna-l-hamda wa-n-ni'mata laka wa-l-mulk. La sharika lak.
“Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am. Here I am at Your service; You have no partner, here I am. All praise and every blessing are Yours, and all sovereignty. You have no partner.”
The Talbiyah is the pilgrim's repeated response to Allah's call. It declares readiness, praise, gratitude, sovereignty, and that Allah (SWT) has no partner.
La ilaha illa-llahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-hamd, wa Huwa 'ala kulli shay'in Qadir. La ilaha illa-llahu wahdah, anjaza wa'dah, wa nasara 'abdah, wa hazama-l-ahzaba wahdah.
“There is no deity except Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over everything. There is no deity except Allah alone. He fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, and defeated the confederates alone.”
The authentic remembrance said while facing the qiblah at Safa and again at Marwah. The Prophet ﷺ praised Allah (SWT) with these words, made his own dua between repetitions, and repeated the sequence three times.
