It is more than words.
It is more than a ritual.
It is a response from the very core of your being.
“Labbayk Allāhumma Labbayk…”
Here I am, O Allaah, here I am.
This is the heartbeat of Hajj and ‘Umrah. The call that bursts forth from the pilgrim upon entering the state of Ihrām. But in truth, it is the sound of a soul finally answering a call it has heard its entire life—the deep, innate yearning to truly and completely say “yes” to its Lord.
The Talbiyah is your sacred RSVP to a divine summons. It requires no perfection. Only presence. A heart that is willing, ready, and utterly open.
When you proclaim “Labbayk”, you are not just reciting a phrase. You are making a declaration:
And in that moment of sincere response, something beautiful unfolds. The rocks, the sand, the very earth around you… they echo your submission.
The angels bear witness. The heavens record your intention. Your soul finally syncs with a purpose infinitely greater than the life you temporarily left behind.
So, when you embark on your ‘Umrah or Hajj, do not let the Talbiyah merely be on your lips. Let it rise from your heart. Feel its meaning. Live its promise. And let it be the most truthful response you have ever offered.
Let your journey begin with this echo of submission.
