Performing Umrah is a holy way of worship and the circle of Kaaba seven times is called Tawaf, and it is one of the most significant rituals. Tawaf is the most touching and spiritual experience of pilgrims. Many believers who choose different Umrah Packages from Lahore often feel this moment is the highlight of their journey. There are no specific duas for each round, but it is recommended to recite Quranic verses, duas, and prayers with deep concentration and dedication. Here is a simple guide that will help you understand what to recite during Tawaf.
Starting Tawaf at Hajar al-Aswad
When you start your Tawaf at the Black Stone, pilgrims should raise their right hand towards it and say:
“Bismillah, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahil-hamd.”
Pilgrims traveling with Umrah Packages can benefit from preparing these duas in advance to recite with ease.
General Duas During Tawaf
There is no specific dua for every round of Tawaf. Pilgrims can recite any verse from the Qur’an or make personal duas in their own language. Some popular supplications include:
- “Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah wa fil-akhirati hasanah wa qina ‘adhaban-nar”
(O our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire). - Reciting the last three Surahs: Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Nas.
Travelers booking with Al-Umrah Travel and Tourism are often provided with dua booklets to help them during rituals.
Between Rukn al-Yamani and Hajar al-Aswad
From the Yemeni Corner to the Black Stone, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to recite this dua:
“Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah wa fil-akhirati hasanah wa qina ‘adhaban-nar.”
This special prayer is one that pilgrims from across the globe recite, including those who travel with an Umrah package by air for ease and comfort.
Personal Prayers
Pilgrims are encouraged to make personal duas during Tawaf. You can also ask Allah for forgiveness, good health, guidance, protection for yourself and your family, and success in life. The best thing is that Tawaf is a moment when pilgrims are closest to Allah. Many who travel through organized Umrah Packages say these personal prayers are the most memorable part of their journey.
Important Tips for Duas During Tawaf
- Recite slowly and with reflection.
- Keep respect for others and do not push or disturb.
- It is better to focus on the quality of prayer rather than the quantity.
- Use any language you are comfortable with, as Allah understands all.

Whether you recite Qur’an, authentic duas, or personal prayers, the most important thing is sincerity. May Allah accept the Tawaf, prayers, and duas of every pilgrim.
