1. SUPPLICATIONS (Dua'as)

---

There are no prescribed prayers for the Hajj rites, except Talbiyah which is very short and can be memorized easily. It is:

TALBIYAH

"Labbayk, Allahumma Labbayk. Labbayk.
La shareeka laka. Labbayk.
Innal-hamda wan-n'imata laka wal-mulk.
La shareeka lak."

( Here we come, O Allah, here we come ! Here we come.
No partner have You. Here we come!
Praise indeed, and blessings, are Yours--- the Kingdom too!
No partner have You!)

If you still can't remember it, you can say its translation in English or in any other language but Talbiah or its translation is pronounced in a loud voice by men and in a subdued voice by women.

Regarding other du'as (supplications), consider yourself in front of your Creator and ask Him whatever you want in life and the life hereafter in your own language. You can praise Allah Almighty in short Arabic phrases or sentences, such as,

Allahu Akbar,
Subhan Allah,
Alhamdu Lillah,
Subhan Allah Wabe Hamde hi Subhan Allah hil Azim,
first Kalimah, etc.

Surah Fatihah "Alhamdu Lilla Hi Rab-Bil Aala Meen..."   is a du'a which is recited in every rakah of the salah. There are two very short du'as:

1. Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina azabin-nar.

2. Allahumma antas salamu wa minkas salamu tabarakata ya dhaljalali wal ikram.

 

There is another du'a which is mostly recited in the salah:

Rabbij'alni muqimas salata wa min dhurriyyati Rabbana wa taqabbal du'a.
Rabbanaghfirli waliwalidaiyya wa lil mu'minina yawma yaqumul hisab.

Then there is a Darud Sharif in the salah, use that.

According to Muslim and Bukhari Sharif if you recite Surah Al-Ikhlas (given below) three times, you get the reward (thawab) of reciting the whole Quran and you know in Masjid al-Haraam this reward is increased 100,000 times.   Subhan Allah!!

Bismillahir rahmannir rahim.
Qul hu wal lahu ahad.
Allahus samad.
Lam yalid wa lam yulad.
Wa lam ya kul lahu kufuwan ahad.

Here is another Surah called Al-Kafirun which, according to Tirmidi Sharif, if recited four times fetches the reward of reciting the whole Quran:

Bismillahir rahmannir rahim.
Qul ya ayyuhal kafirun.
La a'budu ma ta'budun.
Wa la antum abiduna ma a'bud.
Wa la ana abidum ma abadtum.
Wa la antum abiduna ma a'bud.
La kum dinukum walia din.

During the two Nafls after wearing the two sheets of Ihram, some scholars have recommended to recite Surah Al-Kafirun in the first rakah after Alhamd and Surah Al-Ikhlas in the second rakah after Alhamd. Then again when two Nafls are offered at Maqam-e-Ibrahim after the seven circuits of Tawaf, it is a Sunnah to recite these two Surahs in the same manner. But remember that reciting these two Surahs particularly is not a Fard (imperative) or Wajib (compulsory).
Now I point out to you the smallest Surah in the Quran called Al-Kawthar which you may already know, if not, it is easy to memorize because it has only three verses:

Bismillahir rahmannir rahim.
Inna a'tainakal kawthar.
Fa salli lirabbika wanhar.
Inna shani'aka huwal abtar.

These are some of the surahs and du'as that you already know, you can use them repeatedly and for the rest of the time ask your Creator whatever you want in your own language.
