Dua 1: Seeking Protection When Leaving Home

Umm Salamah J reported that whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left his house, he would say this supplication.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ❁ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ❁ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ أَوْ أُضَلَّ ❁ أَوْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أُزَلَّ ❁ أَوْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ ❁ أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ ❁
Bismi Llāhi, tawakkaltu ʿalā Llāh. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika an aḍilla aw uḍalla, aw azilla aw uzalla, aw aẓlima aw uẓlama, aw ajhala aw yujhala ʿalayya.
In the name of Allah. I place my trust in Allah. O Allah, I seek Your protection from going astray or being led astray, from slipping or being made to slip, from committing injustice or having injustice done to me, and from acting in ignorance or being treated ignorantly.
Reference Abu Dawud (5094), Ibn Majah (3884)

Dua 2: Trusting in Allah When Leaving Home

It is narrated from Anas I that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever says, when leaving his house: ‘In the name of Allah; I place my trust in Allah; there is no power and no strength except through Allah,’ it will be said to him: ‘You have been guided, you have been sufficed, and you have been protected,’ and Shaytan will turn away from him.” It is also mentioned that Shaytan says to another: “How can you deal with a man who has been guided, sufficed, and protected?”

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ❁ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ❁ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ❁
Bismi Llāhi, tawakkaltu ʿalā Llāhi, lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-Llāh.
In the name of Allah. I place my trust in Allah. There is no power and no strength except through Allah.
Reference Abu Dawud (5095), At-Tirmidhi (3427)

Dua 3: Declaring Reliance on Allah When Leaving Home

Abu Hurayrah I reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left his house, he would say this supplication.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ❁ التُّكْلَانُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ❁ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ❁
Bismi Llāhi, at-tuklānu ʿalā Llāhi, lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-Llāh.
In the name of Allah. Reliance is upon Allah. There is no power and no strength except through Allah.
Reference Ibn Majah (3885), Ibn as-Sunni (157)

Dua 4: Seeking Guidance and Protection Before a Journey

Anas I reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was about to set out on a journey, he would say this supplication as he rose from his seat.

اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ ❁ وَبِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ ❁ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي مَا هَمَّنِي وَمَا لَا أَهْتَمُّ لَهُ ❁ اللَّهُمَّ زَوِّدْنِي التَّقْوَى ❁ وَاغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي ❁ وَوَجِّهْنِي لِلْخَيْرِ أَيْنَمَا تَوَجَّهْتُ ❁
Allāhumma ilayka tawajjahtu, wa-bika ʿtaṣamt. Allāhumma kfinī mā hammanī wa-mā lā ahtammu lah. Allāhumma zawwidnī t-taqwā, wa-ghfir lī dhanbī, wa-wajjihnī li-l-khayri aynamā tawajjaht.
O Allah, to You I have turned, and in You I seek refuge. O Allah, suffice me in what concerns me and in what does not concern me. O Allah, grant me mindfulness of You, forgive my sin, and direct me toward good wherever I turn.
Reference Ibn as-Sunni (496)

Dua 5: Prayer and Supplication Before Travel

It is mustahabb for a person intending to leave home for a journey to perform two rak’ahs of prayer before departing. Al-Mut’im ibn al-Miqdam I reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “No one leaves anything better with his family than two rak’ahs which he performs among them when intending to travel.”

What to Recite in These Two Rak’ahs

Some scholars have recommended that after reciting al-Fatihah, one should recite Surah al-Kafirun in the first rak’ah and Surah al-Ikhlas in the second.

Others have held that it is preferable to recite Surah al-Falaq in the first rak’ah and Surah an-Nas in the second, after al-Fatihah.

After completing the prayer and saying the salam, it is recommended to recite Ayat al-Kursi. It has been reported that whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi before leaving his home will not encounter anything harmful until he returns.

It is also recommended to recite Surah Quraysh. This chapter is known among scholars and people of spiritual insight as a means of protection and security.

The eminent Shafi’i jurist Abu al-Hasan al-Qazwini, who was known for his piety, spiritual insight, and righteous states, stated that reciting this surah brings protection from all forms of harm.

Abu Tahir ibn Jahshawi related:

I was about to travel and felt afraid, so I went to al-Qazwini and asked him to make du’a for me. He said: ‘Whoever intends to travel and fears an enemy or a wild beast should recite Li-īlāfi Quraysh, for it is protection from all evil.’ I recited it, and no harm has befallen me since.

Once the recitation is complete, one should make du’a with humility and presence of heart. It is recommended to say the following supplication:

اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَسْتَعِينُ وَعَلَيْكَ أَتَوَكَّلُ ❁ اللَّهُمَّ ذَلِّلْ لِي صُعُوبَةَ أَمْرِي ❁ وَسَهِّلْ عَلَيَّ مَشَقَّةَ سَفَرِي ❁ وَارْزُقْنِي مِنَ الْخَيْرِ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَطْلُبُ ❁ وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي كُلَّ شَرٍّ ❁ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي ❁ وَنَوِّرْ قَلْبِي ❁ وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي ❁ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَحْفِظُكَ وَأَسْتَوْدِعُكَ نَفْسِي وَدِينِي وَأَهْلِي وَأَقَارِبِي وَكُلَّ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْهِمْ بِهِ مِنْ آخِرَةٍ وَدُنْيَا ❁ فَاحْفَظَنَا أَجْمَعِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ يَا كَرِيمُ ❁
Allāhumma bika astaʿīnu, wa-ʿalayka atawakkal. Allāhumma dhallil lī ṣuʿūbata amrī, wa-sahhil ʿalayya mashaqqata safarī, wa-rzuqnī mina l-khayri akthara mimmā aṭlubu, wa-ṣrif ʿannī kulla sharrin, Rabbi shraḥ lī ṣadrī, wa-nawwir qalbī, wa-yassir lī amrī. Allāhumma innī astaḥfiẓuka wa-astawdiʿuka nafsī wa-dīnī wa-ahlī wa-aqāribī wa-kulla mā anʿamta ʿalayya wa-ʿalayhim bihi min ākhiratin wa-dunyā, fa-ḥfaẓnā ajmaʿīna min kulli sū'in, yā Karīm.
O Allah, through You I seek help, and upon You I rely. O Allah, make the difficulties of my affair easy for me and ease the hardship of my journey. Grant me more good than I ask for, and turn every evil away from me. My Lord, expand my chest, illuminate my heart, and make my affair easy for me. O Allah, I seek Your protection and entrust to You myself, my religion, my family, my relatives, and all that You have bestowed upon me and upon them in the Hereafter and this world. Protect us all from every evil, O Most Generous.
