What does the Talbiyah recited by pilgrims during Hajj and 'Umrah mean? The following excerpt from IslamQA provides a comprehensive explanation:

Hajj: A Symbol of Tawhid
Hajj is a symbol of Tawhid (the Oneness of Allah) from the moment the pilgrim enters ihram. Jabir ibn 'Abd-Allah described the Hajj of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying, "Then he started to say the words of Tawhid, 'Labbayka Allahumma labbayk, labbayka la sharika laka labbayk. Inna al-hamd wa'l-ni'mata laka wa'l-mulk, la sharika lak' (Here I am, O Allah, here I am. Here I am, You have no partner, here I am. Verily all praise and blessings are Yours, and all sovereignty, You have no partner)." (Narrated by Muslim)

Anas described how the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered ihram, saying, "Labbayka 'Umratan la riya-a fiha wa la sum'ah (Here I am for 'Umrah in which there is no showing off or seeking reputation)."

This trains the soul to acknowledge the Oneness of Allah and to be sincere towards Him.

Starting Hajj with Tawhid
The pilgrim begins their Hajj with Tawhid and continues to recite the Talbiyah with its words of Tawhid, moving from one action to the next with Tawhid.

Meaning of the Talbiyah
The Talbiyah holds several meanings, such as:

"Labbayka Allahumma labbayk (Here I am, O Allah, here I am)" is a continuous response, indicating lasting and ongoing commitment.

"Labbayka Allahumma labbayk (Here I am, O Allah, here I am)" signifies ongoing submission and re-submission, emphasizing continuous servitude to Allah.

It may also mean staying in one place (labba bi'l-makan) and clinging to it, persisting in obeying Allah.

One of the meanings of the Talbiyah is confirming the love of Allah. The phrase "imra-ah labbah" (a loving woman) refers to a woman who loves her child. "Labbayk" is only said to a person whom one loves and respects.

It implies sincerity, as in the phrase "lubb al-shay" which means the essence of a thing, and "lubb al-rajul" which means a person's mind and heart.

It implies drawing close, as in the word "ilbab," which means drawing close. Thus, it emphasizes the meaning of seeking to draw closer and closer to Allah.

The Talbiyah represents the Tawhid of the religion of Ibrahim, which is the spirit and aim of Hajj and all acts of worship. It is the key to this act of worship that the pilgrim is undertaking.

The Talbiyah also includes:

Praising Allah, which is a means to draw close to Him.

Recognizing the blessings of Allah, as He is the source and bestower of all blessings.

Acknowledging that all sovereignty belongs to Allah alone, and no one else has any true dominion.

When reciting the Talbiyah, the pilgrim feels connected to all other created beings, as they all join in submission to Allah alone and echo the Talbiyah. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "There is no Muslim who recites the Talbiyah but whatever is to his right and to his left of stones, rocks, and clods recites it with him, to the furthest point to the east and the west" – meaning from his right and his left. (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 828; also by Ibn Khuzaymah and al-Bayhaqi with a sahih isnad.)

And Allah knows best.

Without lies islam dies.

I just discovered that there's 360 idols inside kaaaba which I also see on Google search

Allohu Akbar. There's no one worthy of worship aside Allah (God) the one without partner, associate or what you can compare with

Only God is worthy of worship, from him we came from and to him we shall return

Guys go and watch @NoahEzekiel on tiktok and see how this man is really speaking the TRUTH about Chrianity and Islam
