اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ حَجًّا مَبْرُورًا وَسَعْيًا مَشْكُورًا وَذَنْبًا مَغْفُورًا
O Allah, make it an accepted Hajj, a appreciated effort, and a forgiven sin.
Allahumma-j'alhu hajjan mabrooran wa sa'yan mashkooran wa dhanban maghfooran
When to Read
This dua is particularly significant during the Farewell Tawaf (Tawaf al-Wada') as you complete your Hajj or Umrah. It's a moment of seeking final acceptance and blessing from Allah before departing from His sacred House. You can also recite it after any tawaf.
How to Read
Stand facing the Ka'bah if possible, or in the direction of the Ka'bah. Raise your hands slightly and recite this dua with sincerity and humility. Reflect on the blessings of your pilgrimage and ask Allah for His acceptance and forgiveness. It's a personal supplication, so feel free to add other heartfelt requests.
Virtues & Benefits
The Farewell Tawaf is the final act of worship connecting you to the Ka'bah before leaving Makkah. Making this dua is an earnest request for Allah to accept your entire pilgrimage, acknowledging it not just as a series of rituals but as a journey of devotion. Seeking a 'mabroor' Hajj means a pilgrimage that is free from sin and accepted by Allah. Asking for 'sa'yan mashkooran' is a plea for your efforts and struggles during Hajj to be recognized and rewarded. Finally, praying for a 'dhanban maghfooran' is seeking divine forgiveness for any shortcomings or sins committed, hoping to leave Makkah with a clean slate. This dua encapsulates the ultimate goal of Hajj and Umrah: purification and acceptance.
Source & Authentication
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Circumambulate the House once, then offer two Rak'ahs, then come to the Pillar and touch it, then go out to Safa and complete the Tawaf of the House.' He said: 'When one of you finishes circumambulating the House, let him say: "O Allah, grant me goodness in this life and in the Hereafter, and protect me from the punishment of the Fire." Then let him go to the Pillar and touch it, then go out to Safa and complete the Tawaf of the House.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "O Allah, make it an accepted Hajj, a appreciated effort, and a forgiven sin." (Da'if: Its chain is weak, due to Muhammad bin Thabit, and he is weak.)' Note: While the chain of narration for this specific hadith (Ibn Majah 2923) is considered weak, the sentiment of seeking acceptance, reward, and forgiveness after Tawaf is widely supported by the general principles of supplication in Islam, especially concerning Hajj and Umrah. Many scholars encourage making such earnest supplications during these blessed times. The core components of the dua – seeking an accepted Hajj, appreciated effort, and forgiven sin – are universally desired outcomes for any worshipper.
