Your Umrah package is booked. Your flights are confirmed. Your Ihram is folded and ready in your hand luggage. But if you were asked right now — at the Black Stone, at Safa, at the door of Masjid an-Nabawi — what would you say to Allah?
The truth is that most UK pilgrims arrive in Makkah with the physical rites memorised but the spiritual centrepiece — the duas — still vague. They walk Tawaf knowing to say Allahu Akbar at the Black Stone, but unsure what comes next. They reach Safa with their hands raised and their eyes full of tears, and they go quiet.
This guide is the answer to that silence. It is the most complete collection of authentic Umrah duas assembled in one place for UK pilgrims — Arabic text, transliteration, and English meaning for every stage of the journey, from the moment you leave your front door to the moment you walk into the Rawdah in Madinah. Sourced from Quran, Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and authenticated collections. No fabricated duas. No invented attributions.
Why Duas Are the Soul of Umrah — Not Just an Add-On
The physical rites of Umrah — Ihram, Tawaf, Sa’i, Halq — take between three and six hours to complete. The duas you make throughout those hours, and in the days that follow at the Haram, can shape the rest of your life. The Prophet ﷺ said:
Al-du-a huwa al-ibadah.
“Dua is the essence of worship.”
— Tirmidhi, graded Hasan Sahih
Understanding your duas — knowing what you are saying, not just reciting sounds — transforms every action of Umrah. The step to Safa, the circle around the Kaaba, the sip of Zamzam — all of them deepen when accompanied by words whose meaning you carry in your heart.
8 Prime Moments When Duas Are Accepted During Umrah
Direct Answer: Allah accepts duas at any time, but the following moments during Umrah are specifically identified in hadith and scholarly consensus as especially powerful:
- First sight of the Kaaba — Ibn Abbas (RA) reported the Prophet ﷺ said dua is accepted at this moment (Al-Azraqi)
- During Tawaf — the Prophet ﷺ was continuously in dua throughout Tawaf
- Between Rukn al-Yamani and the Black Stone — the Prophet ﷺ made a specific confirmed dua here every circuit
- At Safa and Marwah — the Prophet ﷺ made extensive dua at both hills, facing the Qiblah
- While drinking Zamzam — ‘Zamzam is for whatever purpose it is drunk for’ (Ibn Majah)
- At Maqam Ibrahim — after completing Tawaf and praying two rak’ahs
- Inside Riyad ul-Jannah (Madinah) — ‘A garden from the gardens of Paradise’ (Bukhari)
- Between Asr and Maghrib on Fridays — and during the last hour of Friday at the Haram
Can I Make Dua in English During Umrah?
Direct Answer: Yes. You can make dua in any language during Umrah — English, Urdu, Arabic, or any other. The Arabic duas from hadith are recommended because they are the words of the Prophet ﷺ, but personal duas from your heart in your own language are fully valid and accepted. Many UK scholars specifically advise supplementing the Arabic duas with personal supplications in English so that you know exactly what you are asking for.
Part 1 — Duas Before Leaving Home for Umrah
Your journey to Allah begins at your front door. These duas are established from the Sunnah for every journey, and they carry extra weight when the destination is Makkah.
🤲 Dua 1: Leaving the House
بِسْمِ اللهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ
Transliteration: Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

🤲 Dua 2: Travel Dua — Said When Departing (at Airport or Boarding)
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى، اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ

بِسْمِ اللهِ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
Transliteration: Bismillah. Subhanal-ladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun.

Source: Quran 43:13–14 | Abu Dawud 2602 — recited when mounting any vehicle
Part 2 — Duas for Ihram and the Talbiyah
These duas are said at the Miqat (or UK airport) when entering the sacred state of Ihram. From this point, every word and step becomes ibadah.
🤲 Dua 4: Niyyah (Intention) for Umrah — Said in the Heart Before Talbiyah
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْعُمْرَةَ فَيَسِّرْهَا لِي وَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي
Transliteration: Allahumma inni uridu al-‘umrata fayassirha li wa taqabbalha minni.
Meaning: O Allah, I intend to perform Umrah, so make it easy for me and accept it from me.
Source: Based on the established Sunnah of making intention before acts of worship
The Talbiyah — The Declaration of Ihram
The Talbiyah is the verbal marker that you have entered Ihram. It is said at the moment of intention and repeated constantly throughout Ihram — when moving, when rising, when seeing other pilgrims, when ascending and descending. For Umrah, stop the Talbiyah when you begin Tawaf at the Black Stone.
🤲 Dua 5: The Talbiyah — The Most Important Dua of the Entire Journey
لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ
Transliteration: Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharika laka labbayk, innal-hamda wan-ni’mata laka wal-mulk, la sharika lak.
Meaning: Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am — You have no partner — here I am. Truly all praise, all grace, and all sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner.
Source: Bukhari 1549, Muslim 1184 — the definitive Talbiyah from the Farewell Hajj
Men: Recite the Talbiyah aloud. Women recite it quietly, audible only to themselves. Both repeat it throughout the journey until Tawaf begins.
Part 3 — Duas Upon Arriving in Makkah
🤲 Dua 6: Entering the City of Makkah
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا حَرَمُكَ وَأَمْنُكَ، فَحَرِّمْنِي عَلَى النَّارِ، وَأَمِّنِّي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ، وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَأَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ
Transliteration: Allahumma hadha haramuka wa amnuka, faharrimni ‘alan-nar, wa amminni min ‘adhabika yawma tab’athu ‘ibadak, waj’alni min awliya’ika wa ahli ta’atik.
Meaning: O Allah, this is Your sanctuary and Your place of safety, so forbid me to the Fire, make me safe from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your servants, and make me one of Your close friends and those who obey You.

Transliteration: Bismillah was-salatu was-salamu ‘ala rasulillah. Allahumma iftah li abwaba rahmatik.
Meaning: In the name of Allah. Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy.

🤲 Dua 8: First Sight of the Kaaba — Raise Both Hands and Supplicate
اللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَمَهَابَةً، وَزِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ وَكَرَّمَهُ مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَهُ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَبِرًّا
Transliteration: Allahumma zid hadhal-bayta tashrifan wa ta’ziman wa takriman wa mahabatan, wa zid man sharrafahu wa karramahu mimman hajjahu aw i’tamarahu tashrifan wa takriman wa ta’ziman wa birra.
Meaning: O Allah, increase this House in honour, reverence, nobility and awe. And increase those who honour and revere it — all who perform Hajj or Umrah of it — in honour, reverence, nobility and righteousness.
Source: Al-Azraqi, Akhbar Makkah — practised by companions; dua is accepted at first sight of the Kaaba
UK Pilgrim Note: This is the most powerful dua moment of your entire Umrah. Do not rush past it. Stop. Raise your hands. Make every dua in your heart — for your family, for forgiveness, for the future. This moment does not repeat itself.
Part 4 — Duas During Tawaf (All 7 Circuits)
These are the authentic duas for the Tawaf. There are no prescribed duas for each specific circuit — the Prophet ﷺ did not assign different words to different rounds. What IS confirmed are specific duas at specific points, and general dhikr throughout.

What to Recite in the Two Rak’ahs at Maqam Ibrahim
In the first rak’ah, recite Surah al-Kafirun (Quran 109) after Al-Fatiha. In the second, recite Surah al-Ikhlas (Quran 112). This was the established practice of the Prophet ﷺ — Muslim 1218.
Dua for Zamzam Water
🤲 Dua 16: Before and While Drinking Zamzam — Face the Qiblah

Sa’i begins immediately after Tawaf. The following duas are established at specific points of Sa’i — at the hills and during the journey between them.

إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ

Between Safa and Marwah — During Walking
Between the two hills, there is no specific dua prescribed. Recite freely:
- Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah (dhikr)
- Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ (the Ibrahimi Salawat above)
- Personal duas in Arabic or English for family, health, forgiveness, guidance, rizq
- Quran recitation — any surah or ayah you know by heart
Sa’i Note: Men make duas in a quiet voice during the running section between the green lights. The running itself is an act of Sunnah worship — fully present, focused, and purposeful.
Part 6 — Duas After Completing Umrah (Halq and Taqseer)
After Sa’i, the final rite of Umrah is Halq (head shaving for men) or Taqseer (hair trimming for both). There is a specific dua for each.

Dua After Exiting Ihram — Gratitude and Re-entry to the World
Once Ihram is complete and you have exited the sacred state, there is no specific prescribed dua. However, this is a deeply emotional moment — many pilgrims stop to thank Allah for the completion of their Umrah. Make a personal dua of gratitude in your own words.
Part 7 — Duas for Madinah — The City of the Prophet ﷺ
Many UK pilgrims — particularly those on 10 nights, 12 nights, and 14 nights Umrah packages — visit Madinah either before or after Makkah. The following duas are established for specific locations in Madinah.
🤲 Dua 21: Entering the City of Madinah
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا حَرَمُ نَبِيِّكَ، فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي وِقَايَةً مِنَ النَّارِ، وَأَمَانًا مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَسُوءِ الْحِسَابِ

Frequently Asked Questions About Umrah Duas
All 18 questions below are drawn from real UK search queries. Answers are structured for Google AI Overview, featured snippet selection, and People Also Ask placement.
Q1: What is the most important dua during Umrah?
A: The most important confirmed Umrah dua is ‘Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina adhab an-nar’ (Quran 2:201) — said between Rukn al-Yamani and the Black Stone in every circuit of Tawaf. The Prophet ﷺ recited this consistently. The Talbiyah is the most important declaration, but this Quranic dua is the most powerful supplication for the Tawaf itself.
Q2: What dua do you say when you see the Kaaba for the first time?
A: When you first see the Kaaba, raise both hands and make any sincere dua — this is a confirmed moment of acceptance. The recommended dua is: ‘Allahumma zid hadhal-bayta tashrifan wa ta’ziman…’ (O Allah, increase this House in honour and reverence). Then make your personal duas — for yourself, your parents, your family — in any language.
Q3: Can I make dua in English during Umrah?
A: Yes. Dua in English, Urdu, or any other language is completely valid throughout Umrah. The Prophet ﷺ said ‘Dua is worship’ (Tirmidhi) and Allah hears every language. Arabic duas from hadith are recommended where known, but personal supplications in your own language — where you know exactly what you are asking — are often more heartfelt and powerful.
Q4: What is the dua for the Talbiyah?
A: ‘Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharika laka labbayk, innal-hamda wan-ni’mata laka wal-mulk, la sharika lak.’ Translation: Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Truly all praise, grace and sovereignty belong to You. You have no partner. (Bukhari 1549, Muslim 1184). Men say it aloud; women quietly.
Q5: What dua do you say at the Black Stone?
A: ‘Bismillah Allahu Akbar’ — In the name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest (Bukhari, Muslim). The longer version adds: ‘…Imanan billahi wa tasdiqan bikitabihi wa wafa’an bi’ahdihi wattiba’an li-sunnati nabiyyihi Muhammadin ﷺ’ (Ahmad, Bayhaqi). Both are established. Say it while facing the Black Stone at the start of every circuit.
Q6: What dua do you say at Safa and Marwah?
A: At both Safa and Marwah, face the Kaaba and recite: ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu…’ (Muslim 1218). Repeat this three times, making personal duas between each repetition. This is the confirmed Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ at both hills.
Q7: What is the Zamzam dua in Arabic and English?
A: ‘Allahumma inni as’aluka ilman nafi’an wa rizqan wasi’an wa shifa’an min kulli da” — O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, abundant provision, and cure from every illness (Al-Hakim, Ibn Abbas RA). Drink facing the Qiblah, in three sips, and make personal duas between sips. The Prophet ﷺ said Zamzam is for whatever purpose it is drunk for.
Q8: When is dua most accepted during Umrah?
A: The confirmed moments of dua acceptance during Umrah include: first sight of the Kaaba; between Rukn al-Yamani and the Black Stone during Tawaf; at Safa and Marwah; while drinking Zamzam; at Maqam Ibrahim; and at Riyad ul-Jannah in Madinah. Additionally, the last hour of Friday at the Haram and the time between Asr and Maghrib are established as highly receptive.
Q9: What dua do you say when entering Madinah?
A: ‘Allahumma hadha haramu nabiyyik, faj’alhu li wiqayatan minan-nar, wa amanan minal-‘adhab wa su’il-hisab’ — O Allah, this is the sanctuary of Your Prophet, so make it a shield for me from the Fire, a security from punishment and a bad reckoning (Al-Hakim). Recite this as you enter the city of Madinah.
Q10: What should I say at the Prophet’s ﷺ grave in Madinah?
A: Stand facing the grave and say: ‘As-salamu ‘alayka ya rasulallah, as-salamu ‘alayka ya nabiyyallah, ashhadu annaka qad ballaghtarrisalah wa addaytal-amanah wa nasahtal-ummah’ — Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. I bear witness you conveyed the message, fulfilled the trust, and gave sincere counsel to the Ummah (Abu Dawud 2042).
Q11: Is there a specific dua for each of the 7 rounds of Tawaf?
A: No. The Prophet ﷺ did not prescribe specific duas for individual circuits of Tawaf. Popular booklets that assign different duas to each circuit are scholarly compositions, not confirmed Sunnah. The only confirmed circuit-specific guidance is ‘Rabbana atina…’ between Rukn al-Yamani and the Black Stone (in every circuit), and ‘Bismillah Allahu Akbar’ at the Black Stone (Istilam).
Q12: What is the dua when leaving the house for Umrah?
A: ‘Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah’ — In the name of Allah. I put my trust in Allah. There is no power and no strength except with Allah (Abu Dawud 5095). Recite this when stepping out of your front door on the day of departure. It is established for leaving the house for any purpose, carrying special weight for a journey to the House of Allah.
Q13: What dua is said on the plane to Makkah?
A: ‘Bismillah. Subhanal-ladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun’ — In the name of Allah. Glory be to He who made this subservient to us, for we were not capable of controlling it. Verily to our Lord we are returning (Quran 43:13–14). Recite when boarding any vehicle, including the aircraft.
Q14: Should I bring a dua book to Umrah?
A: Yes — but choose it wisely. Use a dua book that clearly separates confirmed hadith-sourced duas from scholarly-composed duas. During Umrah, it is completely permissible to read from a printed book or phone screen while walking in Tawaf or Sa’i. Many UK pilgrims find a printed pocket duas card more practical than a phone in the crowd.
Q15: What is the dua for Halq (head shaving) after Umrah?
A: The Prophet ﷺ said ‘Allahumma-ghfir lil-muhalliqin’ (O Allah, forgive those who shave their heads) three times, and once for those who trim: ‘Allahumma-ghfir lil-muqassirin’ (Bukhari 1727, Muslim 1301). This is one of the most powerful duas of the entire Umrah — seeking forgiveness at the very moment the rites are complete.
Q16: How do I prepare my duas before going for Umrah?
A: Write a personal dua list before you travel — for health, forgiveness, family members by name, financial relief, guidance for your children, any specific need. Bring this list to Makkah. During the Tawaf, dua moments are short and emotionally intense — coming prepared with a written list means you use those moments fully rather than going blank.
Q17: Which Umrah package gives the most time for duas at the Haram?
A: A 14 nights 3 star Umrah package gives the most time — including multiple Tawaf sessions, daily Zamzam access, and full time at Riyad ul-Jannah in Madinah. A 10 nights package is the best balance for most UK families. Both are significantly better than a 7-night package for making unhurried, focused duas at the key accepted moments.
Q18: What dua should I make for my deceased family members during Umrah?
A: There is no single prescribed dua for the deceased during Umrah, but the following is widely used: ‘Allahumma-ghfir li (name) warhamhu wa’afu ‘anhu wa akrim nuzulahu wa wassi’ madkhalahu’ — O Allah, forgive (name), have mercy on him/her, pardon them, honour their arrival, and expand their abode. Make this at the Kaaba, during Tawaf, at Zamzam, and at Riyad ul-Jannah — all confirmed accepted moments.
