Entering Makkah:

When the pilgrim approaches Makkah he says:

“O Allah! This is Your Haram and Your secure place, so forbid my body from the Hell fire and save me from Your torture when You will resurrect Your servants and include me among Your obedient pious people”.

After entering Makkah the pilgrim says:
“O Allah! This is Your town and Your House; I came seeking Your mercy in obedience to Your commands. I pray to You my God in my utmost need, fearing Your torture that You receive me with Your pardon, forgive me with Your mercy and admit me into Your paradise”.
Then he utters salutations for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Entering Al-Masjid Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque):

  • It is recommended to enter through Bab Al-Salam (the gate of Peace).
     
  • A pilgrim enters with his right foot saying salutations for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and invoking:

    “O Allah! Forgive my sins and open for me the gates of Your mercy ”.

    “ O Allah! This is Your Haram and Your secure place, I ask You to protect my flesh, skin, blood, brain and bones from Hell fire”.
     
  • When he sees the Ka‘bah he utters Tahlil and Takbir saying “La-ilaha-illa-Allah, Allahu Akbar” (“There is no god except Allah. Allah is the Greatest”)

    He repeats this Tahlil and Takbir for three times raising his hands and supplicating because the supplication made at seeing the Ka‘bah is accepted:

    “O Allah! Make my invocations accepted in all that which is good”.

    “I seek protection from the Lord of the House from debt, poverty, narrowness of the chest and from the torture of the grave”.

    “O Allah! I beseech You to pardon me, grant me mercy and save my neck from the Hell fire”.

    Or the pilgrim invokes Allah to grant him whatever he needs and he utters prayers for prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saying: “O Allah! Increase the honour, dignity and reverence of Your Sacred House and increase whoever visits it either in Hajj or ‘Umrah in honour, respect, nobleness and righteousness”. “O Allah! You are peace, and from You is peace. Our Lord, salute us with peace”.
