Talbiyah
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: َ‫ﺷ ِﺮﻳْكَ َﻟك‬
َ َ‫ ِإن ا ْﻟﺣَ ﻣْ َد وَ اﻟ ِﻧّﻌْ َﻣ َﺔ َﻟكَ وَ ا ْﻟ ُﻣ ْﻠكَ ﻻ‬، َ‫ﺷ ِﺮﻳْكَ َﻟكَ َﻟﺑﻳْك‬
َ َ‫ َﻟﺑﻳْكَ ﻻ‬، َ‫َﻟﺑﻳْكَ اﻟﻠ ُﮫم َﻟﺑﻳْك‬

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 God, 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."

There is disagreement among grammarians of Arabic as to the origin of the expression labbayka. The most
prevalent explanation analyses it as the verbal noun (maṣdar) labb (meaning to remain in a place) + ay (oblique
form of the dual in construct) + ka (second-person singular masculine suffix). The dual is said to indicate
repetition and frequency. Therefore, labbayka means literally something like “I will stick to obeying you again and
again.” Talbiyah is the verbal noun of labbá, meaning to pronounce this prayer.[1]
