Duas for tawaf

Tawaf around the Ka‘bah

There is no special dua fixed for each round of tawaf. Books that give a different dua for every round have no basis in the Sunnah. Say what is narrated below, then make any dua, dhikr or Quran recitation you like, in your own language. Below are the authentic Sunnah first, followed by comprehensive duas of the Prophet ﷺ.

1. From the Sunnah

Umrah, Hajj and Tawaf duas

What to say at the Black Stone (start of each round)

At the start of every round of tawaf

Allah is the Greatest. Face the Black Stone, point to it with your right hand (or touch or kiss it if easy, without pushing anyone) and say "Allahu akbar".

Reference: al-Bukhari 1613 (the Prophet ﷺ pointed to it and said takbir); "Bismillah, Allahu akbar" is reported from Ibn ‘Umar (al-Bayhaqi)
