Supplication during Pilgrimage

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace of Allah be upon Allah's Messenger, the most trusted among His beings.

Pilgrimage is one of the most honorable journeys that a Muslim can make in his whole life. On it, he spends money and effort and leaves his country and family in pursuit of Allah's satisfaction and reward. During such a journey, there are certain times, places, and states in which Allah is likely to accept supplications, so it is highly advisable that a Muslim try to seize such times in mention and prayer to Allah.

There are now many inauthentic supplications and handbooks full of invented extolments of Allah that are thought to be specific for each ritual or part of ritual, while other extolments and supplications reported directly from Prophet Muhammad, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, are ignored. So, we are sending this message to clarify the virtues and proprieties of supplication, where and when in pilgrimage supplications are likely to be accepted by Allah, and a number of supplications quoted from the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah, to be utilized by the pilgrim on his blessed journey. We ask Allah to accept from you and us supplications and good deeds.

Merits of Supplication

There are countless Qur'anic verses and Prophetic hadiths on the merits of supplication, such as the following:

1. Allah says, {And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.} [Al-Baqarah: 186]

Transliteration: Wa'itha sa'alaka `ibadi `anni fa inni qaribun ujibu da`wata ad-da`i itha da`ani fa lyastajibu li wa lyu'minu bi la`allahum yarshudun

2. Allah says, {And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islâmic Monotheism) and ask Me for anything] I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islâmic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"} [Ghafir: 60]

Transliteration: Wa qala rabbukumu ud`uni astajib lakum inna allathina yastakbiruna `an `ibadati sayadkhuluna jahannama dakhirin

The Prophet (prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said, "There is nothing more honorable to Allah than supplication" [Reported by At-Tirmithi; declared good by Al-Albani]

He also said, "There is no Muslim who calls upon his Lord with a supplication in which there is no sin or severing of family ties but Allah will give him one of three things: Either He will answer his prayer quickly, or He will keep equivalent reward for him (in the Hereafter), or He will divert an equivalent evil away from him" [Authenticated by Al-Albani]

Proprieties of Supplication

1. Show sincerity and submission to Allah.
2. Keep supplicating and do not wait for a quick response.
3. Start supplication with praising Allah and sending blessings upon the Prophet (Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him).
4. Keep away from invoking curses on one's family, property, or children.
5. Perform ritual ablution and turn one's face towards the Kiblah while supplicating.
6. Lower one's voice and uttering supplications in no voice.
7. Not use rhyming in affectation.
8. Admit sins and ask for forgiveness.

Places where supplication is answered in Pilgrimage

1. The Day of `Arafah

The Prophet, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him said, "The best of supplication is the supplication (uttered) on the Day of `Arafah, and the best that I and the Prophets before me said is: 'La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadir (i.e., There is no God except Allah Alone, with no associate. He is the dominion, to Him is praise, and He is over everything omnipotent)" [Related by At-Tirmidhi; deemed good by Al-Albani]

2. As-Safa and Al-Marwa

Describing how the Prophet (Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) performed pilgrimage, Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "He started with As-Safa, climbing it until he could see the Ka'ba, then he turned his face to the Qiblah and proclaimed the Oneness of Allah and magnified Him, saying, "There is no God except Allah Alone, with no associate. His is the dominion, to Him is praise, and He is over everything Omnipotent. There is no God except Allah Alone. He fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His slave, and defeated the allies Alone"( Transliteration:'La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd wa huwa `ala kulli shay'in qadir. La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu, anjaza wa`dah, wa nasara `abdah, wa hazama al-ahzaba wahdah). Then, he supplicated amid this. He said like this three times. Then, he came down to Al-Marwa, and once his feet touched the bottom of the valley, he ran, and once he started going up, he walked until he came to Al-Marwa, and he did at Marwa the same as he had done at As-Safa" [Reported by Muslim]

3. Al-Mash`ar Al-Haram (The Sacred Place)

The above-mentioned hadith also narrates, "Then he rode Al-Qaswa' (his she-camel) until he came to Al-Mash`ar Al-Haram, where he turned his face to the Kiblah and said supplications to Him (i.e., Allah), magnified Him, and proclaimed His Oneness. He remained standing there until the morning light was everywhere" [Reported by Muslim]

4. Middle and Minor Pebble Throwing

"Every time the Prophet (Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) threw a pebble, he would advance in front of it and stand facing the Kiblah and raising his arms to supplicate, standing for a long time. Then, he would come to the middle pebble throwing, in which he would throw seven pebbles, uttering Takbir (i.e., saying, "Allahu Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]) with each throw. Then, he would move to the left, stand facing the Kiblah, raise his arms, and supplicate." [Reported by Al-Bukhari]

5. Inside the Ka'ba or Hijr

Usama Ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated, "When the Prophet (Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) entered the House (i.e., the Kaaba), he supplicated in all its corners" [Reported by Muslim]

6. When Drinking From Zamzam

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated, "The Prophet (Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) said, 'The water of Zamzam is (useful) for whatever it is drunk for" [Reported by Ibn Majah; authenticated by Al-Albani]

Supplications of Pilgrims Are Accepted by Allah

Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) cited the Prophet (Prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) as saying, "The warrior who fights for the Sake of Allah and the pilgrim performing pilgrimage(Hajj) or lesser pilgrimage ('Umrah) are guests of Allah. He invited them and so they answered Him, and they asked Him (for whatever they want) and He gave (that to) them" [Reported by Ibn Majah; Declared good by Al-Albani]
