“Labaik Allahuma Labaik” is an Arabic phrase that translates to “Here I am, O Allah, here I am.” It is a declaration of devotion and servitude to God and is often associated with the Islamic pilgrimage known as Hajj.
During Hajj, pilgrims recite this phrase to express their intention to perform the pilgrimage and to submit themselves to God’s will. The phrase encapsulates the spirit of humility and readiness to serve and worship God. The repetition of “Labaik” emphasizes the pilgrim’s eagerness and willingness to respond to God’s call.
The phrase is part of a longer Talbiyah, which is a supplication that pilgrims recite while on their journey to the holy sites in Mecca. It signifies the ultimate submission of the believer to God and serves as a reminder of their faith and purpose during the pilgrimage.
