Du'as

Sorted by what is most timely now. The full vault stays — the talbiyah and the recommended supplications at every station of Hajj, sourced from the Qur'an and the authentic Sunnah.

Smart order
  1. Soon
    The Talbiyah
    Begin reciting at the moment of ihram. Continue throughout, raising the voice (for men) and continuing in groups, in solitude, when changing posture, and at every transition. For Tamattu' pilgrims, stop upon beginning Tawaf al-Qudum and resume when re-entering ihram on the 8th. For all pilgrims, stop at the moment the first pebble is thrown at Jamrat al-Aqabah on the 10th.
  2. Whenever
    Du'a upon entering Makkah
    No specific authentic du'a is required upon entering Makkah; the talbiyah continues. Some scholars recommend the general du'a for entering a town:
  3. Whenever
    Du'a upon first seeing the Ka'bah
    When the Ka'bah comes into view for the first time. This is a moment of accepted du'a — many pilgrims make personal du'a here. The following is reported as a saying of ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab (RA):
  4. Whenever
    At the Black Stone — start of each tawaf circuit
    Said when aligning with the Black Stone before each circuit of tawaf. Raise the right hand toward the stone and say:
  5. Whenever
    Between Rukn al-Yamani and the Black Stone
    Recited at the end of each tawaf circuit, between the Yemeni corner and the Black Stone corner. The Prophet ﷺ recited this and used to make du'a here.
  6. Whenever
    At Safa and Marwa
    Upon ascending Safa (and again Marwa), face the Ka'bah, raise the hands, and say the following three times, making personal du'a between repetitions:
  7. The greatest du'a — at Arafah
    The Prophet ﷺ said: "The best du'a is the du'a on the day of Arafah, and the best that I and the prophets before me have said is..."
  8. Comprehensive Arafah du'a
    The hours between zawal (noon) and sunset on the Day of Arafah are the holiest of the year. Make personal du'a in any language. The following is a tradition collected from the salaf:
  9. At Mash'ar al-Haram (Muzdalifah)
    After Fajr in Muzdalifah on the 10th, face the Qibla and remember Allah extensively at the Mash'ar al-Haram until it is well-lit.
  10. After stoning each of the small and middle Jamarat
    On the 11th, 12th, and 13th (days of Tashreeq), after stoning Jamrat al-Sughra and Jamrat al-Wusta, step aside, face the Qibla, raise the hands, and make du'a at length. Nothing is said after Jamrat al-Aqabah.
  11. Farewell — leaving Makkah
    After completing Tawaf al-Wada', the farewell tawaf, before leaving the Haram.
