The spiritual value of Umrah gets multiplied when you recite duas to maximise your rewards and blessings during the pilgrimage.
You can reconnect with the Almighty and ask for your personal desires through duas while you stand before the sacred house of Allah.
Therefore, if you want to go for the pilgrimage soon, you will need a list of essential duas for Umrah that will help you make the most of your spiritual retreat. Also, recite dua for the newlyweds.
Every year, thousands of UK Muslims book Umrah packages, prepare their dua lists, and head over to the pilgrimage sites to pour their hearts out and have an ultimate faith revival. If you are one of those UK Muslims, here is the perfect dua list for you.
Duas to Add in Your Umrah Dua List
Dua Before Entering Makkah
As you enter the sacred city of Makkah, you must have a pure heart, and your only intention should be to prove your devotion to the Almighty. Enter this city with humility and gratitude. Also, recite dua to get someone back in your life.
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا حَرَمُكَ وَأَمْنُكَ، فَحَرِّمْنِي عَلَى النَّارِ، وَآمِنِّي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ

Dua Upon Seeing the Kaaba
Pilgrims experience a mix of emotions when they see the Kaaba for the first time. It is a deeply spiritual and emotionally evocative experience for the Muslims. It makes everyone teary-eyed and also makes their hearts race. Also, recite dua to make someone fall in love with you.
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ زِدْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَمَهَابَةً، وَزِدْ مَنْ شَرَّفَهُ وَكَرَّمَهُ مِمَّنْ حَجَّهُ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَهُ تَشْرِيفًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَتَكْرِيمًا وَبِرًّا
Transliteration:
Allahumma zid hādhā al-bayta tashrīfan wa ta‘ẓīman wa takrīman wa mahābah, wazid man sharrafahu wa karramahu mimman ḥajjahu awi‘tamrahu tashrīfan wa ta‘ẓīman wa takrīman wa birrā.

“O Allah, increase this House in honor, dignity, nobility, and awe. And increase those who honor it and perform Hajj or Umrah with reverence, dignity, and righteousness.”

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً، وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Meaning:
“O Allah, make it an accepted pilgrimage, a thankful effort, and a forgiven sin.”
Dua While Drinking Zamzam Water
According to the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Zamzam water is for any purpose for which it is drunk.
This means that you can make any dua or supplication while drinking this holy water during or after your Tawaf. Although you can recite any dua you want, here is one that you can recite.
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا، وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ

Meaning:
“O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, abundant provision, and healing from every illness.”
Dua at the Start of Sa’i
As you start Sa’i, you can recite the following verse from the Holy Quran that explains the significance of Safa and Marwa and the ritual performed here.
Arabic:
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ… (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:158)
Then say:

أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ
Transliteration:
Abda’u bimā bad’a Allahu bih.

“I begin with what Allah began with.”
Then raise your hands and recite the following three times, making your personal du’as in between:
Arabic:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Transliteration:
Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul ḥamdu, wa huwa ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.
Meaning:
“There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and all praise, and He has power over everything.”
Dua After Completing Sa’i
Here is a dua that you can recite after completing Sa’i.
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ، وَتَجَاوَزْ عَمَّا تَعْلَمُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعَزُّ الْأَكْرَمُ
Transliteration:

Dua Before Halq/Taqsir
Before you complete your final ritual, you should recite the following dua.
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي كَمَا تَقَبَّلْتَ مِنْ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ
Transliteration:
Allahumma taqabbal minnī kamā taqabbalta min nabiyyika Muḥammad ﷺ.
Meaning:
“O Allah, accept (this Umrah) from me just as You accepted from Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.”
Summing Up
Dua is the language of the heart. It is also a powerful weapon of the Muslims, which they can use to get everything they want from the Almighty.
Also, our Creator asks us to make duas as much as we can. He loves it and wants to grant everything that His servants ask in duas with pure intentions.
And being able to make duas while you are at the most sacred sites in Islam is what every Muslim dreams of. Your dua list is as important as any other preparation for your pilgrimage. So, make sure that you recite enough duas and supplications while you are at the pilgrimage sites.
