Posted by Ady Grewal on January 15th, 2020

Going for Hajj and Umrah is a great blessing of Allah Almighty. It’s the perfect channel to visit the holy land of Makkah and Madinah. People traveling through their cheapest hajj packages UK and from other countries, go there, perform the holy rituals, supplicate to Allah and make Dua. Although, Dua is accepted anywhere, anytime if made from a pure heart and honest intentions, yet some places are considered far sacred in this regard.

Here are some of the places where Dua is accepted during hajj and umrah (specifically).

Inside of the Holy Kaabah

The holy Kaabah is the most sacred, holiest and magnificent place in the entire world where a person can make Dua. Especially inside of it. However, pilgrims and the general public aren’t allowed to enter the holy Kaabah, therefore, the door remains closed. The inside of Holy Kaabah is only accessed twice or thrice a year for cleaning, by the royals themselves.

Hateem

Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) explained that praying in Hateem, the semi-circular region adjacent to Kaabah, is equivalent to praying inside of Holy Kaabah. Because that was an official part of the holy Kaabah before it was built again. Therefore, Hateem remains the best place for pilgrims to make Dua.

Mataf

The place surrounding the Kaabah where pilgrims perform tawaf, 7 rounds of holy Kaabah, is known as Mataf. Without a doubt, this place is best for making dua. So, when you are on your Hajj or Umrah and performing Tawaf, ask for forgiveness and blessings from Allah Almighty.

Maqaam-e-Ibrahim

Allah Almighty himself has ordered in the Holy Quran to offer Salah behind Maqam-e-Ibrahim. It’s also a Sunnah as well as a necessary ritual of Hajj and Umrah. After the completion of Tawaf, pilgrims move towards Maqam-e-Ibrahim and offer Salat-al-Tawaf behind it. Therefore, it's also the best place to make Dua.

Near Zamzam Well

Zamzam remains the purest, most sacred and healthful water present on earth. The well of Zamzam is present inside Masjid-al-Haram; 20m east of the Holy Kaabah. Thus, explaining its importance and purity. So, when pilgrims go for drinking Zamzam water, it’s the best opportunity to make Dua.

Mina and Arafat

During Hajj, Mina and Arafat, are of great significance for Pilgrims. One has to offer rituals there also. So, when staying in Mina, one must repent on its sins, ask for forgiveness and seek blessings from Allah Almighty as it remains one of the most sacred times to make Dua.

Masjid-al-Nabawi

Masjid-al-Nabawi remains located in Madinah. Pilgrims after the completion of Hajj/Umrah, also go to Madinah for the Ziyarath of Roza-e-Rassol. The Masjid was built by Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) himself, thus explaining its scarcity. Therefore, when in Masjid-al-Nabawi, one necessarily has to make Dua. Because it’s one of those places where Dua is answered the most.

Despite these places, one can make Dua anywhere during hajj and Umrah. In fact, in any part of the world. As long as you are pure from heart and mind because Allah Almighty is present everywhere.
