When Reaching the Haram in Makkah
When a person in ihram reaches the Sanctuary of Makkah, Allah increases him in honour and it is mustahabb for him to say:
اَللَّهُمَّ هَذَا حَرَمُكَ وَأمْنُكَ فَحَرِّمْنِي على النَّار، وأَمِنِّي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ يَومَ تَبْعَثُ عِبادَكَ، واجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أولِيَائِكَ وَأَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ
Allahumma hadha haramuka wa amnuka fa-harrimni’ala-n-Nar, wa amminni min’adhabika yawma tab’athu’ibadak, wa-j’alni min awliya’ika wa ahli ta’atika
Allah, this is Your sanctuary and security, so make me unlawful to Hell-Fire, make me safe from Your punishment on the day You resurrect You servants; and make me one of Your friends and one of the people who obey You.” and let him make whatever du’a he wishes.
When a person enters Makkah and his gaze falls on the Ka’bah and he reaches the Mosque, it is mustahabb for him to lift his hands and supplicate. It is reported that the du’a of a Muslim is accepted upon Seeing the Ka’bah. One should say:
اَللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْريفاً وتَعْظِيماً وَتَكْريماً وَمَهابَةً، و زِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ وَكَرَّمَهُ مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ أَوِ اعتَمَرَهُ تَشْريفاً وَتَكْريماً وتَعْظِيماً وَبِرّاً
Allahumma zid hadha-al-Bayta tashrifan wa ta’ziman wa takriman wa mahabatan, wa zid man sharrafahu wa karramahu mimman hajjahu awi-’tamarahu tashrifan wa takriman wa ta’ziman wa birra
Allah, increase this House in honour, esteem, respect, and reverence. And increase those who honour and respect it-of those who perform Hajj or Umrah- in honour, respect, esteem, and piety.
One should also say:
“Oh Allah, You are peace and from You is peace. Make us live, Lord, in peace.”
