Question:
May Allah reward you. Among the questions that came to the program, Honorable Shaykh, is the one about magnifying tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and establishing tawhid. The Muslim says the talbiyah, "Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik." What is the meaning of this, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
The meaning of "Labbaik" is that the response to the talbiyah is an answer. "Labbaik" means: I am answering your call, on the tongue of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he was commanded to proclaim the call for Hajj. So he responds to this call, and this is the call to prayer by the command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
