Essential Du’as to recite during Umrah: Duas for Umrah

List of 10 essential Duas to perform during Umrah

Reciting duas during Umrah is part of the spiritual journey. Pilgrims from Bangladesh often look for easy references so they can remember the right words at the right place. When you wear Ihram and make niyyah, there is a du’a. During Tawaf and Sa’i, there are also different du’as. Each step has its own prayer that brings barakah and makes you feel close to Him. Here are some important du’as every pilgrim should know in Umrah.

Du’a before starting the Umrah journey

This du’a helps you place your trust in Allah from the outset. Before embarking on your Umrah trip, it is recommended to recite:

• Arabic:

  “بِسْمِ اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ”

• Transliteration: Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alallāh, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh.
• Meaning (approximate): “I begin with the Name of Allah; I trust in Allah; there is no changing of conditions except by Allah’s Power.”

Du’a for intention (Niyyah) of Umrah & Entering Ihram + Talbiyah

Once you reach the Miqat (boundary) and prepare to enter Ihram, perform the two raka’ahs of Sunnah (if applicable), then make your niyyah and start reciting Talbiyah continuously.

Du’a for intention (Niyyah):

“اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ فَيَسِّرْهَا لِي وَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي”

• Transliteration: Allahumma innī urīdu al-‘umrah, fayassir-hā lī wa taqabbal-hā minnī.
• Meaning: “O Allah, I intend to perform Umrah. Make it easy for me and accept it from me.”

Talbiyah (repeat often):

Continue reciting the Talbiyah from the moment you enter Ihram until you begin Tawaf.

• Arabic:

  “لَبَّيْكَ اللهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ”

• Transliteration: Labbayka Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayka lā sharīka laka Labbayk. Inna al-ḥamda wa an-ni‘mata laka wa al-mulk. Lā sharīka laka.
• Meaning: “Here I am at Your service, O Allah, here I am. Here I am. You have no partner, here I am. Verily, all praise, blessing, and sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner.”

Du’a upon arrival

Upon arriving at your destination, recite:

“أَعُوْذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ”

• Transliteration: A’uzu bikalimatillahit-t’ammati min sharri ma khalaq.
• Translation: “I seek protection in Allah’s perfect words from all evil (that has been created).”

Du’a when entering Masjid al-Haram (Kaaba Area)

When you step into Masjid al-Haram, enter with your right foot first (if possible) and recite:

• Arabic:

  “بِسْمِ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلاَةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ”

• Transliteration: Bismillāh wa al-ḥamdu lillāh wa aṣ-ṣalātu ‘alā Rasūlillāh, Allahumma ighfir lī dhunūbī wa iftaḥ lī abwāba raḥmatik.
• Meaning: “In the name of Allah, all praise is for Allah, and blessings upon the Messenger. O Allah, forgive me my sins and open for me the gates of Your mercy.”

Du’a at the first sighting of the Kaaba

When you first see the Kaaba, pause and raise your hands (if possible), and recite:

• Arabic (two recommended supplications)

  “اللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَمَهَابَةً وَزِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ وَكَرَّمَهُ مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَهُ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَبِرًّا”

• Transliteration: Allahumma zid hādhā al-bayta tashrīfan wa ta‘ẓīman wa takrīman wa mahābah. Wa zid man sharraffahu wa karramahu mimman ḥajjahu aw i‘tamarahu tashrīfan wa takrīman wa ta‘ẓīman wa birran.
• Meaning: “O Allah, increase this House in dignity, honour, reverence, and esteem, and increase those who honour and visit it in dignity, honour, reverence, and righteousness.”

• Arabic:

  “اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ، حَيِّنَا رَبَّنَا بِالسَّلاَمِ”

• Transliteration: Allahumma anta as-salām wa minka as-salām, ḥayy-inā rabbana bis-salām.
• Meaning: “O Allah, You are Peace and from You is peace; grant us life, our Lord, in peace.”

Du’a to start Tawaf & during Tawaf

Then begin circumambulating Allah’s House. During each circuit, you may recite any du’a, dhikr, Quran, or salutations (salawāt).

Intention and opening of Tawaf

When you stand before the Black Stone (Hajr al-Aswad) to begin Tawaf:

• Arabic:

  “بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ”

• Transliteration: Bismillāh, Allāhu akbar, wa lillāhi al-ḥamd
• Meaning: “In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and all praise is for Allah.”

Du’a between the Yemeni Corner and Black Stone

When passing between the Rukn al-Yamani and Hajr al-Aswad, it is a sunnah to recite:

• Arabic:

  “رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ”

• Transliteration: Rabbana ātinā fid-dunyā ḥasanatan wa fil-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa qinā ‘adhāba-n-nār.
• Meaning: “Our Lord, grant us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
• Note: You may also offer other heartfelt du’as during the rest of your circuits.

Istilām (Touching or Kissing the Black Stone)

At the end of each circuit (or when possible), perform istilām of the Black Stone by touching, kissing, or pointing toward it (if you cannot reach). You may say:

• Arabic:

  “بِسْمِ اللهِ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ”

• Transliteration: Bismillāh, Allāhu akbar wa al-ḥamdu lillāh
• Meaning: In the name of Allah, Allah is Greatest, and praise be to Allah.
• Note: Continue your Tawaf until all seven circuits are completed.

Du’a for drinking Zamzam

Before drinking, recite the dua for drinking Zamzam, then pour some water over your head:

“اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمَاً نَافِعَاًً وَرِزْقَاً وَاسِعَاًَ وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ"

• Transliteration: Allahumma inni as'aluka ilman nafi'an wa rizqan wasi'an wa shifa'an min kulli da'in.
• Translation: “O Allah, I seek from You beneficial knowledge, abundant sustenance, and healing from all ailments.”

Dua after Tawaf — Two Rakah and beyond

After completing Tawaf:

• Perform two raka‘ahs near Maqam Ibrahim (if possible).
• Then, proceed to drink Zamzam water.
• After that, it is recommended to go to the Multazam (the wall between the Black Stone and the door of the Kaaba), cling to it if possible, and make long du’as, as supplications there are highly encouraged.

Note: You can recite any du’a that you wish, especially those invoking Allah’s mercy, forgiveness, and acceptance.

Du’a during Sa‘ee (Between Safa and Marwah)

During Sa‘ee (walking between Safa and Marwah), there is no fixed text prescribed. You may recite:

• Takbīr, Tahlīl, Tahmīd:
  • “سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ” (Subḥānallāh)
  • “الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ” (Al-ḥamdu lillāh)
  • “لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ” (Lā ilāha illā Allah)
  • “اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ” (Allāhu akbar)
• Any personal du’a from your heart
• Salawāt (sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ)

Note: Also, as you reach Marwah, you may face toward the Kaaba, raise your hands, and repeat the same supplications you made at Safa.

Du’a when leaving Masjid al-Haram (After Umrah is complete)

When you leave the Haram after finishing Umrah, say:

• Arabic:

  “بِسْمِ اللهِ وَالصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ”

• Transliteration: Bismillāh wa aṣ-ṣalātu wa as-salāmu ‘alā Rasūlillāh, Allahumma innī as’aluka min faḍlik.
• Meaning: “In the name of Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger. O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty.”
• Note: This closes the cycle of your Umrah rituals while maintaining humility and gratitude.

Tips to maximize your Du’as during Umrah

• Understand what you recite. Knowing the meaning helps deepen the connection.
• Use quiet moments. Between circuits, when in the Multazam, or when seated, these are precious times.
• Make personal du’as. Don’t limit yourself to the above; ask Allah for whatever is on your heart.
• Be consistent. Recite the Talbiyah, du’as, and dhikr as much as you can from entering Ihram until the rituals conclude.
• Focus on presence, not speed. Even a few heartfelt words with concentration are more valuable than many without awareness.

Duas for Umrah: A connection with Allah

Umrah is not just a set of steps. It is standing before Allah with a clean heart. You can read du’as from Qur’an and Sunnah, but the strongest ones are often the simple words you say yourself. A prayer made with feeling and honesty is worth more than long recitations without meaning. That is the real beauty of Umrah.
