Ihraam and Talbiyyah
The Hajj begins when pilgrims reach certain designated places close to Mecca. The pilgrims enter the state of Ihraam (for males only) by wearing two unsewn white sheets, and recite Talbiyyah which consists of saying the following aloud: Here I am, O Allah, here I am; Here I am, No partner have You,here I am; Indeed, all praise and bounty are Yours, and Yours the Kingdom; No partner have You.
