The response came from everything that heard him, from stones, trees, and those whom Allah has decreed will make Hajj, until the Day of Resurrection: “We answer your call, O Allah, we answer your call.” It was said that Ibrahim عليه السلام said, “O Lord, how can I convey this to people when my voice will not reach them?’’ It was said, “Call them and We will convey it.” So, Ibrahim, you stood up (on his place, or on the Black Stone, or on (the mountain of) As-Safa or on (the mountain of) Abu Qubays and said, “O mankind! Your Lord has established a House so come for pilgrimage to it.’’ It is said that the mountains lowered themselves so that his voice would reach all the corners of the earth, and those who were still in their mothers’ wombs and their fathers’ loins would hear the call. It means: announce Hajj to mankind and call them to perform Hajj to this House which We have commanded you to build. Allah The Almighty promised him that He will convey his call to all people. Reflect on this call and the act of repeating Talbiyah loudly as well as its external and internal impact and how it is related to the call of the founder of this great rite, the intimate friend of Allah, Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) عليه السلام when Allah The Almighty commanded him to call people and proclaim the message. We can understand and deduce the inner dimension of Talbiyah through the Hadeeth in which the Prophet ﷺ said: “When any pilgrim utters Talbiyah, every stone and tree on his right and on his left responds with a (similar) Talbiyah, until the whole earth resounds with it.” The Messenger ﷺ 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.” (At-Tirmidhi, 828) Inner Dimensions of Talbiyah When the pilgrim is reciting the Talbiyah, he feels a connection with all other created beings, as they all join with him in submission to Allah alone and echo his Talbiyah. ( Mukhtasar Tahdheeb al-Sunan, Ibn al-Qayyim, 2/335-339) It includes acknowledging that all sovereignty belongs to Allah alone, and no one else has any true dominion. It implies recognition of the blessings of Allah, for He is the source of all blessings and the One Who bestows them. Praise of Allah, which is the dearest thing with which a person may draw close to Allah.

Hence the Talbiyah is the key to this act of worship that the pilgrim is embarking on. One only says “ Labbayk (Here I am at your service)” to a person whom one loves and respects.ĥ. It implies sincerity, as in the phrase lubb al-shay’ which means the essence of a thing and lubb al-rajul which means a man’s mind and heart.Ħ. It implies drawing close, as in the word ilbaab, which means drawing close, so it emphasizes the meaning of seeking to draw closer and closer to Allah.ħ. It is a symbol of the Tawheed of the religion of Ibrahim, which is the spirit and aim of Hajj, indeed the spirit and aim of all the acts of worship.
