Hajj and umrah azkar open with the Talbiyah, the pilgrim's first declaration upon entering the state of ihram, announcing a heartfelt response to Allah's call. It is the pilgrim's slogan from the moment of ihram until the rites of the pilgrimage begin, repeated with humility as a pure statement of Allah's oneness.
Labbayka allahumma labbayk, labbayka la shareeka laka labbayk, innal-hamda wan-ni'mata laka wal-mulk, la shareeka lak.
