Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mounted his camel for setting out on a journey, he would recite: “Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest),” thrice. Then The Prophet (ﷺ) would supplicate:

“Subhanal-ladhi sakh-khara lana hadha, wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila Rabbina lamunqalibun. Allahumma inna nas’aluka fi safarina hadh al-birra wat-taqwa, wa minal-‘amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin ‘alaina safarana hadha, watwi ‘anna bu’dahu. Allahumma Antas-Sahibu fissafari, wal-Khalifatu fil- ahli.

O Allah, You are our Companion during the journey and the Guardian of the family and the property in our absence. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travelling, unhappiness connected with ghastly scenes and evil turns in property and family.”

Shorten the distance for him and make the journey easy for him.” Tirmidhi (Riyad as-Salihin 978)

When the Prophet ﷺ returned from a battle or Hajj, he used to say three times:

Then he ﷺ said,

Transliteration: La ila-ha illallah-hu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu, wahua ‘ala kulli shai’in qadir, a-ibuna, ta-ibuna, ‘a-biduna, li rabbina ha-midoon. Sadaqballa-hu wa’dahu, wa nasara ‘abdahu wa hazamal ahzaba wahdahu

Meaning: There is no God except Allah alone, He has no partner; His is the kingdom, all the praise; And He has power over all things. We are returners, penitents, worshipers and praisers of our Lord. Allah has fulfilled His promise, He has helped His servants, and He alone has defeated all the opposing factions.

[Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim]

Prayer Upon Returning Home

After returning home, it’s Sunnah to pray two raka’h Salah.

“When you leave your house, perform two raka’h and this will safeguard you against evil. When you enter your home, perform another two raka’h and this will safeguard you against evil.” [Musnad Al-Bazzar]

Travelling is a necessary part of life. As Muslims, we should follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ during Safar. You may be confused to see lots of dua in the list. Actually, Allah’s Messenger ﷺ used to say different dua during travelling. But you can start with some basic ones. And try to memorize and practice more duas as much as you can. May Allah makes our journeys safer, Ameen.

Dua For Travelling

Traveling is a frequent part of life for many individuals, be it for leisure, business, or fulfilling religious obligations like Hajj or Umrah. Despite its commonality, the uncertainties that can accompany travel are ever-present. In such moments, it’s crucial to remember the significance of dua and the profound impact it can have in ensuring safe and secure journeys.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of dua in all aspects of life, including travelling. It is narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said; “Three supplications are answered without a doubt: The supplication of the oppressed, the supplication of the traveler, and the supplication of the parent for his son.” This hadith highlights the special status of the dua made by a traveler and the certainty of its acceptance.

When embarking on a journey, it is essential to remember the guidance provided by the Sunnah regarding dua for travelling. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught specific supplications to be recited before and during the journey to seek the protection and blessings of Allah.

One such dua for travelling is as follows:

Arabic: سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ. Transliteration: Subhana-alladhi sakh-khara la-na hadha wa ma kunna la-hu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbi-na la munqalibun. Translation: “Glory unto Him who created this transportation, for us, though we were unable to create it on our own. And unto our Lord we shall return.”

This powerful dua encompasses the traveler’s plea for protection, guidance, and ease during their journey. It reflects the humility and reliance on Allah that is ingrained in the practice of dua in Islam. Reciting this dua before setting out on a journey is a way to seek Allah’s protection and blessings, and to acknowledge that all matters of safety and well-being are in His hands.

In addition to the above dua, it is also recommended to recite specific prayers for the safety and success of the journey. For example, seeking Allah’s protection from the difficulties of travel, from finding family and property in a bad state, and from the harms of the people at home. It is a reminder to travelers to place their trust in Allah and seek His help in every step of their journey.

The dua for traveling transcends mere ritual; it’s a profound expression of faith and devotion. It serves as a heartfelt plea for Allah’s protection, guidance, and blessings, acknowledging His ultimate authority over all aspects of life. Following the Sunnah guidance and reciting the specific dua for traveling instills a sense of reassurance, as Muslims entrust their journeys to the Divine.

Moreover, integrating charity into this practice enhances its spiritual impact. By incorporating acts of charity into their routine of seeking protection and blessings, individuals not only strengthen their faith but also increase the likelihood of their dua being answered.

This holistic approach to travel preparation reflects a deep-rooted belief in the power of prayer and the noble impact of charitable deeds.

Every year hundreds of thousands of people lose their lives because of vehicular accidents and plane crashes. This is where Islam comes in to protect you. Islam is an amazing religion that teaches us to have faith in Allah (SWT) and live our lives according to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

One of the best things about Islam is that we have a dua for almost everything, whether it’s sitting, eating, sleeping, or traveling. While reciting the duas for travelling , a Muslim seeks help from Allah (SWT) to stay safe and protected as He is the only one who can protect us from accidents and dangerous hazards.

What Does Allah Say About Travelling?

The Holy Quran is the religious book of Islam and is considered the ultimate guide for Muslims. In the Holy Quran, Allah (SWT) describes our life as a journey, with ignorance and knowledge being analogous to the dark and light on the way, respectively. The Quran has numerous references for Muslims to follow in order to go through a better worldly yet spiritual journey. However, in several places, Allah (SWT) has placed special emphasis on the significance of physical travel.

In the Quran, the word “saiyr” is used to refer to a traveller. The literal meaning of saiyr is to travel or move; for example; the planets are called sayyarah. The term saiyr appears in the Holy Quran 27 times. In most places, it’s used in the formulation of “Tell them to travel,” “Do they not travel,” or “Do travel.”

On the significance of travelling in Islam, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the One who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. (al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi – Sahih)

“With the Name of Allah. Praise is to Allah. Glory is to Him Who has provided this for us though we could never have had it by our efforts. Surely, unto our Lord, we are returning. Praise is to Allah . Praise is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Glory is to You. O Allah, I have wronged my own soul. Forgive me, for surely none forgives sins but You.” (Abu Dawud 3/34, At-Tirmidhi 5/501)

Furthermore, in “Al-Majmu,” Imam An-Nawawi mentions that while performing the two raka’at , in the first raka’at, one should recite Surah Al-Kafirun after Surah Al-Fatiahah. However, in the second raka’at, one should recite Surah Ikhlas after Surah Al-Fatihah.

When You Commence Your Journey

For the following verse, Anas bin Malik (RA) narrates that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that: “Whoever says upon leaving his house (recites the below-mentioned verses) it will be said to him: ‘You are guided, defended and protected.’ The devil will go far away from him.”

“Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah”

“I begin with the Name of Allah; I trust in Allah; there is no altering of conditions but by the Power of Allah.”

“O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all that they envelop, Lord of the seven earths and all that they carry, Lord of the devils and all whom they misguide, Lord of the winds and all whom they whisk away. I ask You for the goodness of this village, the goodness of its inhabitants, and for all the goodness found within it, and I take refuge with You from the evil of this village, the evil of its inhabitants, and from all the evil found within it.”

11 Duas for Travelling for a Safe Journey (Arabic & English)

Table of Contents

Islam is a comprehensive religion that covers all spheres of life. In addition to the five obligatory prayers, Allah has commanded us to seek His blessings and guidance before undertaking any action. For instance, we must seek Allah’s protection from any harm during travelling by reciting Dua for Travelling .

Whether we travel by car, train, or airplane, we must recite certain Duas before starting our journey . Of course, we plan ahead of time, but no one is certain how our plan progresses or ends. Therefore, Muslims must seek Allah’s direction and assistance to reach their destinations safely and return home to their family. While you do so, opt for Dua Travels to maximize your experience.

Islam allows all Muslims to travel when the intentions are for the right purpose. While reciting Dua for travelling , Muslims must firmly believe in Allah (SWT) and His blessings. He is the only one who has the power to protect us from unfortunate events like accidents and the harm of travelling. Let us explore some of the most beneficial as we must recite before and during the journey.

What Does the Holy Quran Say about Travelling?

Holy Quran, the sacred scripture, is the book of wisdom that teaches man the purpose of life and guides Muslims on the right way to lead their lives. The Islamic Holy Book covers all aspects of life and directs Muslims to success in this world and hereafter. According to the Quran, this world is temporary, and human beings are in a constant state of Travel. However, Allah (SWT) also mentions physical travelling several times.

In the Quran, ‘sayyir’ refers to the one who travels. The word sayir literally means to move or travel. Allah (SWT) used this word 27 times in the Quran in several expressions, including “Do Travel,” “Do they not Travel,” and “Tell them to Travel.”

Do they then not travel through the Earth, so that their minds gain wisdom and their ears thus learn to hear? 22:46

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) also emphasized travelling. He told the believers that travelling is a great way to expand their horizons and seek knowledge. In one instance, he said

“Keep to travelling by night because the earth is folded (traversed more easily) during the night .” [Abu Dawud].

Dua Before Travelling

Shariah recommends to off 2 rakaat nawafil before starting travel. It is because the Holy Prophet (PBUH) performed this task before going on any journey. You can get the confirmation of this practice from the following hadith.

“When you leave your house, perform two raka’at and this will safeguard you against evil. When you enter your home, perform another two raka’at and this will safeguard you against evil.”

(Musnad Al-Bazzar)

Dua for Travel

Once you have left home, you may recite the following Dua for Travel at any point during your journey.

O Allah, we ask You in our travel for righteousness, taqwa, and good deeds that You are pleased with. O Allah makes our travel ease and shortens the distance for us. O Allah, You are our Companion in travel and the guardian of our family (in our absence). O Allah I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, a sight of grief, and from an unfortunate occurrence in wealth and family.

Dua for Travelling in Quran

The Quran clearly stated the Dua for safe Travel regardless of the mode of transport. The following Dua for Travelling is recited to seek Allah’s protection and safety throughout the journey.

While reciting this Dua, Muslims ask Allah for His blessings and wisdom through the journey. They also thank Allah for the permission to ride the vehicle. Also, this is a means to ask for Allah’s (SWT) forgiveness before setting off, so our sins are forgiven by the Almighty if we encounter any unfortunate events.

Travel Dua in English

Here’s the travel Dua English version if you struggle with reciting Arabic correctly:

Glory unto Him Who created this transportation, for us, though we were unable to create it on our own. And unto our Lord, we shall return.

Dua Before Driving a Car

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised reciting the following surah as Dua for travelling in a car while travelling by car to safeguard both you and your travelling companions.

“With the Name of Allah. Praise is to Allah. Glory is to Him Who has provided this for us though we could never have had it by our efforts. Surely, unto our Lord, we are returning. Praise is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Glory is to You. O Allah, I have wronged my own soul. Forgive me, for surely none forgives sins but You.” (Abu Dawud 3/34, At-Tirmidhi 5/501)

Dua when getting into a plane

Here are some Duas for Travelling on Plane . When you recite the following as advised by Holy Prophet (PBUH), you will stay under the shadow of the mercy of Allah (SWT).

Dua Before Starting the journey :

“I begin with the Name of Allah; I trust in Allah; there is no altering of conditions but by the Power of Allah.”

Five Powerful Duas and Prayers for Traveling

Last updated on November 17th, 2021 at 08:40 am

Have you ever found yourself on the plane ready to take off, but unable to find your booklet of prayers for traveling? Often we find ourselves without access to these special duas or prayers when we need them the most. In our opinion, memorizing duas is the best solution.

One of the beautiful things about Islam is that there is a prayer for our normal daily activities and even prayers for traveling abroad . When we embark on a journey, we should recite a prayer to Allah and remember Him. It brings us closer to Allah and also saves us from any untoward incident that may take place on our journey.

As per Islamic teachings, reciting a dua not only brings Allah’s protection; it also mobilizes angels to protect us during our journey and bring us safely back home to our loved ones.

Below are the five common duas that Muslims recite before journeys, complete with Arabic verse, dua transliteration, source, and explanation.

1. Prayer for Safety When Embarking on Travel

Arabic Verse: وَقُل رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِى مُنزَلًا مُّبَارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ
Dua Transliteration: Rabbi anzilni munzalan mubarokan wa anta khairul munzilin
English Translation: My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing-place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].
Source: Surah Al Muminun ayat 29

When embarking on travel, this dua is recited to protect oneself from any mishap and to ensure a safe landing. When you recite this dua, you will feel calmer and less anxious about your upcoming trip.

It is always helpful to start a journey by remembering Allah. This prayer is useful to keep with you whenever you are packing for your trip so that you can easily recite it once you leave your home or on the plane.

This prayer asks Allah to protect us when traveling abroad . It also helps us proclaim our faith and affirm the fact that there is no one that can protect us except Allah.

2. Prayer for Safety During the Trip

Arabic Verse: سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
Dua Transliteration: Subhana-alladhi sakh-khara la-na hadha wa ma kunna la-hu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbi-na la munqalibun.
English Translation: Glory unto Him Who created this transportation, for us, though we were unable to create it on our own. And unto our Lord, we shall return.
Source: Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14

This excerpt from Surah Az-Zukhruf is a masnoon prayer that thanks Allah for providing us with the means of transportation to make our journey. This dua is short and can be easily memorized so that it becomes a habit to recite it when on a journey.

The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) recited this Surah as dua when he would mount an animal for traveling . He would say Bismillah and then recite this prayer for travel safety . We may be traveling by car, plane, train, or boat; whatever the means of transportation is, it is always important to remember Allah during our journey.

3. Prayer for Traveling to a New Place

Arabic Verse: وَقُل رَّبِّ أَدۡخِلۡنِى مُدۡخَلَ صِدۡقٍ۬ وَأَخۡرِجۡنِى مُخۡرَجَ صِدۡقٍ۬ وَٱجۡعَل لِّى مِن لَّدُنكَ سُلۡطَـٰنً۬ا نَّصِيرً۬ا
Dua Transliteration: Wa-qul Rabbi Adkhilnee Mudkhala S’idqiw Wa Akhrijnee Mukhraja S’diqiw Waj-a’l Lee Mil Ladunkaa Sult’aanan Nas’eeraa
English Translation: O Lord, cause me to enter a goodly entrance and cause me to go out a goodly exit, and grant me from you an authority to assist (me).
Source: Sura Al-‘Isra 17:80

The prophet (ﷺ) was in Makkah and had to emigrate to Madinah when Allah revealed this verse. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was being attacked by individuals in Makkah and was preparing to enter a new place.

This verse asks for Allah’s protection when taking a big decision and traveling to a new place. This decision could be anything from moving to a new city to even moving to a new home. In this prayer, we are asking Allah to bless our entrance and exit. We are looking for His assistance and blessing while we take this decision.

4. Prayer upon Reaching Destination Safely

Arabic Verse: وَقَالَ ارْكَبُواْ فِيهَا بِسْمِ اللّهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسَاهَا إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Dua Transliteration: Va kealarkaboo feehea bismilleahi macreahea va murseahea, inna raabbee la gaafoorun raaheem
English Translation: Embark there in! In the name of Allah be its course or its mooring. Lo! My Lord is Forgiving and Merciful!
Source: Surah Al-Hud – 11:41

This verse is from Sura Hud, which relays the trials and tribulations of Prophet Noah allehisalam. Prophet Noah was commanded by Allah to create a ship and load it with two creatures (male and female) of every living thing that had a soul.

When the command came to leave on the ship, a strong storm came that brought heavy rainfall. This verse was then revealed at that time and means that the moving course and resting (anchorage) of the ship will be all in Allah’s hands.

This is a specific verse in the Surah and is often used when someone reaches their destination safely. It is a small and short prayer that can be memorized easily when traveling abroad and after you have reached your destination.

5. Prayer Upon Returning Home

Arabic Verse: آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عابِدُونَ ساجِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ
Dua Transliteration: Ayibun, ta’ibun, ‘abidun, sajidun, lirabbina hamidun
English Translation: We return, repentant, worshipping, prostrating, and praising our Lord.
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 3084

This short prayer for travel safety is part of a longer verse that the Holy Prophet would recite upon returning from his journeys. After he came back from a journey, he would say Allah u Akbar three times and then recite this dua.

It is important not to forget Allah once we have returned safely to our homes. Often we only remember Allah when we are starting our journey or when we are in the process of traveling. But we should be grateful to Allah once we return safe and sound.

This dua only has a few words and can be easily learned by heart so that you can recite it quickly once you return home safely after traveling abroad.

Now You Know the 5 Powerful Duas and Prayers for Traveling

We can see that all of the prayers for traveling safety are not very long and can be remembered very easily. One should understand that when you are traveling, you are putting yourself in the trust of Allah and his powers.

Only Allah can decide what our fate is, but by saying prayers before we start our journey, during the journey, and when we reach home, we are affirming the fact that we believe in Allah’s power to protect us from harm.

10 Duas for Safe Travelling

Mar 27, 2024

Muslims worldwide understand the importance of performing the 5 obligatory prayers as commanded by Allah Almighty for a life of purpose and meaning. However, Islam is an all-encompassing religion that goes much beyond that, covering effectively all possible aspects of life. As such, it is crucial to seek Allah's blessings and protection before setting off on any journey, whether alone or with family. Islam permits travel for Muslims when their intentions for doing so are pure.

A few vital duas for travelling are to be performed regardless of the mode of transport, whether car, aeroplane, or train. They ensure safety and peace of mind, as one cannot foretell what might happen once they travel to another part of the country or the world. It is to seek a safe return and a fruitful journey from the merciful Allah.

As you recite dua for travelling , keep your mind focussed on Allah and believe without a doubt that He is the only one who can keep you safe from all harm.

What the Holy Quran Says about Travelling

The sacred and Islamic book of Holy Quran teaches Muslims the meaning and purpose of life, guiding them in the way they should behave, think, and live. It addresses all life aspects, allowing believers to imbibe the right spirit and attitude to be an example in the world.

The Holy book states that the world is a temporary place, and that all people are consistently in a state of travel. But it also mentions travelling in the physical sense ample times, using the word "sayir" to refer to a traveller. Literally translated, the word means to travel or move. The word is used 27 times in the Holy book by Allah, signifying the importance of journeying with the right intent.

Even the Holy Prophet (pbuh) stressed on the significance of travelling, indicating to believers that it is an excellent way to broaden horizons and gain more knowledge.

Dua After Leaving Your House

Saying prayers once you leave your home will ensure you have protection from Allah should you encounter any trouble along the way. Here's what the Holy Prophet (pbuh), the Messenger of Allah, stated:

This is what the Holy Prophet (pbuh) states:

“Whoever increases his prayers for forgiveness (i.e. Astaghfirullah), Allah will grant him relief from every worry, a way out from every hardship, and provide for him in ways he does not expect.” (Musnad Ahmad)

Dua Upon Safe Return to Home

While making dua for travelling is essential, it is equally important to praise Allah for a safe sojourn in a foreign land once you come back home safe and sound. It is recommended that believers perform 2 raka’at nawafil upon their return, just like they did prior to leaving.

“When you leave your house, perform two raka’at and this will safeguard you against evil. When you enter your home, perform another two raka’at and this will safeguard you against evil.” (Musnad Al-Bazzar)

When he put his foot in the stirrup, he said: “Bismillah (With the Name of Allah).” When he had settled himself on its back he recited: “ Al-hamdu lillahi (All praise belongs to Allah.”He then recited thrice: “ Alhamdu lillah (Praise be to Allah),” and then three times: “ Allahu Abkar (Allah is Greatest).” Then he said: “ Subhanaka inni zalamtu nafsi faghfir li, innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta (You are far removed from imperfection I have wronged myself, so forgive me, because none but You can forgive sins).” Then he smiled. It was asked: “Why have you smiled, 0 Amir Al-Mu’minin (Leader of the Believers)?” He replied: “I saw the Messenger of Allah M doing as I have done. I (i.e., Ali) asked him (the Messenger of Allah SAW) the reason for smiling. He M said, ‘Your Rubb, Glorious is He, is pleased when His slave seeks His forgiveness. He (the slave) has firm faith that none except Allah Alone can forgive sins)’.” [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi 3446]

8. Dua When Arriving Back Home

آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ

Transliteration : Ayibun, ta’ibun, ‘abidun, liRabbina hamidun.

Meaning: We return, we repent, we worship and we praise our Lord. (Muslim)

The supplication of the traveler

Whenever he supplicates to Allah to ease his journey or any other supplication, Allah, the most High, responds to his request.

Thus, it is necessary to always seize the opportunity of supplicating on journeys. When the journey is in obedience to Allah such as Umrah and Hajj, then the possibility and strength of response increases.

The traveler is detached from his homeland, and he remains a traveler till he returns to it (i.e. his homeland). The supplication of a traveler usually is that of one in need.

Whenever a person is in need and supplicates to his Lord, his prayer will most likely be answered. This is because Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, responds to the supplication of the one in difficult situation and the supplication of the one in need more than the supplications of others.

According to an authentic Hadith, three supplications which are answered without doubt:

1. The supplication of the oppressed;
2. The supplication of the traveler; and
3. The supplication of a parent.

Also, a person should seek refuge from the hardships of travelling, unhappiness connected with ghastly scenes and evil turns in property and family.

He should also seek refuge from the supplication of the oppressed, ask Allah for forgiveness and mercy.

Sheik Ibn Uthaimeen said that to make this remembrance in the exact wordings narrated from the Prophet It is best and preferred.

Otherwise, one may supplicate with any easy words if it is impossible to remember the exact wordings.

Hundreds of thousands of people usually die because of traffic accidents in bikes, cars, planes, etc., all across the world, so traveling can be quite fatal. As we grew up, we heard about a lot of plane crashes and other dangerous events. So we need to seek help from Allah to stay protected and safe, and he is the only one who can protect us from dangerous hazards and accidents.

We must also try our best to minimize our traveling unless it is necessary or urgent as Muslims. We need to recite duas more often so we can stay blessed and safe from the curse of shaitan at the same time.

In addition to being required to pray three times daily (normally five, but exceptions are made when traveling), Allah also requires Muslims to begin other prayers, or duas, to keep them safe as soon as they leave their cities or towns and begin their travels. Whether before or during their travels—and whether by airplane, car, boat or other transportation—Muslims ask Allah to protect them on their journeys and get them back home safely to their families.

Invocation for Traveling

Allaahu 'Akbar, Allaahu 'Akbar, Allaahu 'Akbar, Subhaanal-lathee sakhkhara lanaa haathaa wa maa kunnaa lahu muqrineen. Wa 'innaa 'ilaa Rabbinaa lamunqaliboon. Allaahumma 'innaa nas'aluka fee safarinaa haathal-birrawattaqwaa, waminal-'amalimaa tardhaa, Allaahumma hawwin 'alaynaa safaranaa haathaa watwi 'annaa bu'dahu, Allaahumma 'Antas-saahibu fis-safari, walkhaleefatu fil-'ahli, Allaahumma 'innee 'a'oothu bika min wa'thaa'is-safari, wa ka'aabanl-mandhari, wa soo'il-munqalabi fil-maaliwal'ahli.

Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Glory is to Him Who has provided this for us though we could never have had it by our efforts. Surely, unto our Lord we are returning. O Allah, we ask You on this our journey for goodness and piety, and for works that are pleasing to You. O Allah, lighten this journey for us and make its distance easy for us. O Allah, You are our Companion on the road and the One in Whose care we leave our family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from this journey's hardships, and from the wicked sights in store and from finding our family and property in misfortune upon returning.

Prayer for the Trip

Bismi-Allahi wa al-hamdu li-Allahi. Subhana-alladhi sakh-khara la-na hadha wa ma kunna la-hu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbi-na la munqalibun.

In the name of Allah, and Praise be to Allah. Glory unto Him Who created this transportation, for us, though we were unable to create it on our own. And unto our Lord we shall return.

We are those returning, repenting and obedient to Allah, performing Sajda, praising Allah, Allah has made truth (fulfilled) His promise and aided His servant and defeated the enemy armies Alone.

Traveling & Journey in Islam

Traveling and undertaking journeys hold significance in Islam, and there are various teachings and guidelines regarding them. Here are some key aspects related to traveling and journeys in Islam:

Seeking Allah’s Blessings: Before embarking on a journey, it is recommended to seek Allah’s blessings and supplicate for a safe and successful trip. Muslims often say the prayer: “اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا وَاطْوَ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ” (Allahumma hawwin ‘alayna safarana hadha wa atwi ‘anna bu’dahu), which means “O Allah, make our journey easy for us and shorten its distance for us.”

Etiquettes of Traveling: Islam emphasizes good manners and etiquette during travel. These include respecting fellow travelers, helping those in need, being patient with any difficulties, and avoiding engaging in sinful behavior during the journey.

Permission and Accompaniment: It is recommended for Muslims to seek permission from their family members, especially spouses and parents, before undertaking a journey. Additionally, it is encouraged to have a companion, especially for long trips, for the sake of safety and support.

Observing Prayers: Muslims are required to maintain their regular prayer obligations even while traveling. There are some accommodations and concessions allowed during travel, such as combining and shortening prayers, as well as offering prayers while sitting or in a vehicle if necessary.

Seeking Protection: It is recommended to recite specific supplications for protection during travel. One common supplication is: “سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ” (Subhanal-ladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin), which means “Glory be to Him who has subjected this to us, and we could never have it by our efforts.”

Seeking Blessings from Visiting Sacred Places: Visiting sacred places in Islam, such as the Kaaba in Makkah or the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, holds great spiritual significance. Muslims often undertake journeys to these places to perform acts of worship, such as Hajj or Umrah, seeking closeness to Allah and seeking forgiveness.
