Talbiyah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Talbiyah is a Muslim prayer invoked by the pilgrims as a conviction that they intend to perform the Hajj only for the glory of Allah. Talbiyah is repeatedly invoked during the Hajj, or pilgrimage, upon putting on the Ihram, so the pilgrims can purify and rid themselves of worldly concerns.

The text of the talbiyah is:

Labbayka Allāhumma Labbayk. Labbayk Lā Sharīka Laka Labbayk. Inna l-Ḥamda, Wa n-Niʻmata, Laka wal Mulk, Lā Sharīka Lak.
In Arabic: لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ لاَشَرِيْكَ لَكَ

IPA transcription:

[læbˈbæjk ɑɫɫɑːˈhʊmmæ læbˈbæjk læbbˈæjkæ læː ʃæˈriːkæ ˈlækæ læbˈbæjk ˈʔɪnnæ lˈħæmdæ wænˈnɪʕˈmætæ ˈlækæ wæ lˈmʊlk læː ʃæˈriːkæ læk]

translated as:

"Here I am at Thy service O Lord, here I am. Here I am at Thy service and Thou hast no partners. Thine alone is All Praise and All Bounty, and Thine alone is The Sovereignty. Thou hast no partners."

The Shia version of the talbiyah is exactly the same as the Sunni one but ends with an extra "Labbaik."
