Labbayk Allaahuma labbayk.

Labbayk laa shariyka laka labbayk.

Inna al-hamda -

wa an-na’imata laka wa al-mulk

Laa shariyka lak

I am entering Your holy place having no associate god to You - I am coming, serving (as best I know).

Without doubt, all the praise and all the gratifying blessings are from You, by Your controlling force.

No created powers compare with Your eternal unified power.

B’ismillaah ir-rahmaan ir-raheem

Allaahumma inni - ureedu tawaaf baytak al-haraami

Fa yassirhu liy

Wa taqabblhu miniy saba’atin li illaahi at’alaa ‘azza wa jall

Oh God, certainly You are ! - I desire to make circumambulation of Your house (as You said in the Qur’an and sunnat) recognizing the holiness and magnitude that must needs be accepted and understood. As I do this, make me correct in that act of worship, helping me if somehow I make mistakes or become heedless & bewildered. Please accept and receive unto Yourself the 7 circuits for Your pleasure, for You are the God who is Most High above all, Mighty and Majestic, making difficulty upon the faults and lapses, as You will.

B’ismillaah, wa al-hamdu lillaah,

wa as-salaat ‘alaa rasoolallaah.

Allahuma aghfir liy dhunuwbiy wa aftah liy abwaab rahmaatika.

Through the Name of the God to whom all praise is justly due,

And also through the graceful intercession upon Your Messenger (also justly due),

Oh God, forgive my dirty & heedless sins through opening many doors of Your Mercy to me.

B’ismillaah ir-rahmaan ir-raheem

Wa qul rabbi adkhilnee mudkhala sidqin

The Hajj in 1 Ayat Allaah - 17:80

This is when Rasoolallaah (sal) was being challenged by other religious groups, particularly Jews. When the command came to change the Kaba’ from al-Qudds & Haraam as-Shareef to Mekka Mukarraama & Miqat, these groups attempted to persuade Rasoolallaah to reconsider. They wanted to keep their Taurat words and their preferred position rather than what was revealed by Jibra’el (as). As they resisted vigorously, their position became untenable and false, and in rebellion they were making implementation of the Qur’an nearly impossible for Rasoolallaah (sal) and the Ashabahi (rd) by their natural human strength.

So as Rasoolallaah (sal) considered his weakness (similar to Ibraheem (as) considering his weaknesses) in the face of the unbelievers established and organized resistance, he (sal) received these ayat allaah; Isra’ 17:80-111; as a divine intercession that spiritually dispelled any weakness and indecision in his (sal) leadership, and support both is his (sal) mud~khal (entering success in Yathrib) and his makh~raj (exiting hoping for success in Mekka). The words explain what was happening in Reality and Power (min al-laduna li rabbinaa), before if manifested in form.

We are reciting this hoping for a similar result, min ladunka, from God’s haraam (consecrated holy area) gaining His skilled leadership and divine help, that dispels our darkness through the Haqq. We have exited from God’s presence (laduna) to this world (mukhraj) and we are entering this world anew each day (madkhal) from the falsehood (batil). So in Hajj Ifaraad, we are acting that out as our fulfillment of God’s invitation, a covenant.

Allaahu Akbar, laa ilaaha illa allaahu, allaahu Akbar

‘audhu bi rabbi il-bait min al-kufr, wa al-faqri,

wa min daiyq as-sadri, wa ‘adhaaba al-qabri

I seek refuge in the LORD that created this house and is sustaining it, and by that same Power, may I have a heart full of His Grace, and success in every aspect of life materially and spiritually, and never be tortured after I die, in the grave or after that, through that same Power and Grace.

B’ismillaah ir-rahmaan ir-raheem

Allaahumma anta as-salaam wa minka as-salaam

fa hayynaa rabbanaa bi is-salaam

allaahumma zid baytaka hadha tashrifan,

Wa ta’azheemana wa takreeman wa hahabatan

Wa zid man hajjahu aw i’tamara tashreefan

Wa takreeman wa ta’azheeman wa birran

Oh God, You are the submission that leads to peace,

You are the only source of the submission that lead to peace,

so by that attribute, enliven and establish through Yourself,

this submission and peace in us.

Oh God, increase and bless Your house and hajj with this:

A dignified pure honor like Your honor and word of promise,

A bountiful blessing according to Your bounty and compensation,

An intoxicating love of You through a love You alone can bestow on hajj,

Oh God increase through Your strength & command of pilgrims:

A dignified honor through Your honor and commitment,

A bounteous blessing through Your ability to promote & sustain,

A magnified awe and comprehension of You, the Tremendous one,

And an enduring sanctified righteousness through Your purity.

b’ismillaah, allaahu akbar, al-hamdu lillaah.
