Dua Lesson 21: Traveling
When
getting on his mount for a journey, the Prophet (
) would say:
- “Allah is
the Greatest.” (3 times)
Then he would say:
“Glory be to Allah, Who
has subjugated this (means of travel) for us, though we were unable to subdue
it. Behold we are assuredly to return unto our Lord. Oh Allah! Truly we ask You
for goodness and taqwaa in this travel of ours and for those actions which
please You. Oh Allah! Make easy for us this journey of ours and make us cover
its distance quickly. Oh Allah! You are our Companion in the travel and the
Guardian of (our) household. Oh Allah! I seek refuge with You from the toils of
travel, from beholding a miserable sight (on arrival), and from an evil return
to my wealth and family.”[1]
After returning he would repeat the above adding:
“We are returning, repentant, worshippers and
praisers of our Lord.”
