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”.
