بِاسْمِ اللهِ، وَبِاللهِ، وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ. اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي. اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ. تَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي.
In the name of Allah, and by Allah, and on the religion of the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, accept it from me. O Allah, this is from You and for You. Accept it from me.
Bismillahi wa billahi wa 'ala millati Rasoolillah. Allahumma taqabbal minni. Allahumma hadhihi minka wa laka. Taqabbalha minni.
When to Read
This dua is recited when offering the sacrifice (Qurbani/Udhiyah) during the Days of Tashreeq, which are the days following Eid al-Adha (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah). It is specifically for acknowledging that the sacrifice is an act of worship for Allah and seeking His acceptance.
How to Read
Recite this supplication with sincerity and focus while preparing to make the sacrifice, or just before slaughtering the animal. Ensure you face the Qiblah, have the intention (niyyah) for the sacrifice, and utter the name of Allah before commencing. It is a personal dua, so it can be recited softly.
Virtues & Benefits
Reciting this dua at the time of sacrifice signifies a correct understanding of the act – that it is done solely for Allah and by His grace. It is a way to seek acceptance for this form of worship, which is a significant part of the Eid al-Adha celebrations and the Hajj rituals. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to acknowledge that all blessings and provision come from Allah and are offered back to Him.
Source & Authentication
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mu'awiyah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The son of Adam offering sacrifice on the day of Nahr (10th Dhu al-Hijjah) sheds blood for the sake of Allah. The sacrifice will come on the Day of Resurrection with its horns, hair, and hoofs. Verily its blood reaches the sake of Allah before it reaches the ground. So, seek Allah's acceptance for it and recite: 'Bismillahi wa billahi wa 'ala millati Rasoolillah. Allahumma taqabbal minni. Allahumma hadhihi minka wa laka. Taqabbalha minni.' (In the name of Allah, and by Allah, and on the religion of the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, accept it from me. O Allah, this is from You and for You. Accept it from me).
