SUPPLICATION DURING PILGRIMAGE

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

Allah says, {And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad 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]
