Hadith About Dua For Travelling 

Ibn ‘Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

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. Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min wa’ta’is-safari, wa kaabatil- manzari, wa su’il-munqalabi fil-mali wal-ahli wal-waladi

Translation: Far removed from imperfection is the One Who has made this subservient to us, for we have no power to subjugate it, and certainly to our Rubb shall we return. O Allah, we ask You during this journey of ours for righteousness, piety and such deeds as are pleasing to You. O Allah, make easy for us this journey of ours and make the distance short for us. 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.”

When The Prophet (ﷺ) returned, he recited this supplication making addition of these words: 

“We are those who return; those who repent; those who worship and those who praise our Rubb.”

[Muslim](Riyad as-Salihin 972)

Dua For ascending and descending 

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

When we ascended (a height) we would proclaim:

اللهُ أكبَر 

Allahu Akbar   (Allah is Greatest)

and when we descended ( from the height ) we would proclaim:

سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّٰهِ

Subhan Allah (Allah is free from imperfection)

[Al-Bukhari] (Riyad as-Salihin 975)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

A man said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I intend to set out on a journey, so counsel me.” He (ﷺ) said, “Fear Allah, and ascending towards the raised ground, you should recite: “ Allahu Akbar     اللهُ أكبَر  (Allah is Greatest).” When the man turned away, he (ﷺ) said, “O Allah! Shorten the distance for him and make the journey easy for him.” Tirmidhi (Riyad as-Salihin 978)

Supplication of the resident for the traveller

أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ دِينَكَ وَأَمَانَـتَكَ ، وَخَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِكَ

Astawdi`ullāha dīnak, wa amānatak, wa khawātīma `amalik.

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.

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.”

• Dua on Boarding the Plane

“In the name of Allah and all praise is for Allah. How perfect He is, the One Who has placed this (transport) at our service, and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our, Lord is our final destiny.”

(Hadith reported by Abu Daud and At-Tirmidhi)

• When Travelling to Leave the Country

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recommended we say the following prayer for a safe journey:

“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.”

Dua on Returning Home

Dua for Travelling , with its amazing benefits, will get you home safely. After you have recited Dua for Journey , offering 2 raka’at of prayer is recommended after returning home as you did before setting off on your journey.

Special Duas for Umrah Travelling

So, let us start exploring duas during Umrah travelling!

Dua When Travelling for Umrah

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. (Glory is to Him Who has provided this for us, and we could never have had it by our own efforts. Indeed, to our Lord we will return). O Allah, we ask You on this journey of ours for goodness and piety, and for deeds 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 journey and the One in Whose care we leave our family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the journey’s hardships, and from distressing sights, and from finding our family and property in misfortune upon returning.

Second Dua for Umrah Travelling

O Allah, you are the Companion on the journey and the Deputy among the family. O Allah I seek Your protection from difficulties on the journey, sadness on returning, infidelity after faith, beseeching You as an oppressed person, and from evil befalling my wealth and family.

When embarking on a journey, it is essential to seek Allah’s protection, guidance, and blessings. Here are five recommended duas (supplications) to recite when traveling:

Dua Before Setting Out

“Allahumma inni as’aluka fi safarina hadha al-birra wa al-taqwa, wa min al-‘amali ma tarda, Allahumma hawwin ‘alayna safarana hadha watwi ‘anna bu’dahu. Allahumma anta al-sahibu fi al-safari, wa al-khalifa fi al-ahl. Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min wa’tha’ al-safari wa ka’abaat al-manzar, wa su’ al-munqalabi fi al-mali wa al-ahl.”

Understanding the Essence of Dua When Traveling

In Islam, dua is an integral part of our relationship with Allah. It is a way to communicate our hopes, fears, and desires, seeking His guidance and blessings in all aspects of life. Dua is a reflection of our faith, humility, and trust in the Divine. When we make dua, we acknowledge our dependence on Allah and His control over every aspect of our lives. Through dua, we establish a profound connection with our Creator, finding solace and strength in His infinite mercy.

Dua Before the Journey

Embarking on a journey is an exciting yet uncertain time. Before setting foot outside our homes, it is crucial to seek Allah’s protection and blessings. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever leaves his home, and says: ‘In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah, there is no might nor power except with Allah,’ it will be said to him: ‘You have been guided, defended, and protected,’ and the devil will go far away from him” (Sunan Abu Dawood).

In preparation for your journey, take a moment to make dua. Seek Allah’s protection from all potential hardships and calamities that may come your way. Offer supplications for a smooth and safe journey, accompanied by His divine mercy. By starting your travels with the remembrance of Allah, you invoke His blessings and pave the way for a secure expedition.

Dua During the Journey

As you embark on your journey, the significance of dua remains steadfast. Each step, whether on land, air, or sea, presents unique challenges and unforeseen circumstances. In these moments, turning to Allah through dua provides us with tranquility and assurance. We implore His protection, guidance, and assistance, understanding that our safety lies solely in His hands.

During the journey, offer prayers specific to each stage, seeking Allah’s safeguarding grace. Whether you’re boarding a plane, driving on a busy highway, or navigating through unfamiliar terrain, take a moment to recite supplications tailored to your circumstances. These prayers become a shield against accidents, discomfort, and any potential harm. By placing your trust in Allah and making dua, you invite His divine intervention, transforming your journey into a blessed and secure experience.

Dua Upon Arrival

Upon reaching your destination, express your gratitude to Allah for His protection and guidance. Offer prayers of thanksgiving, recognizing that your safe arrival is a testament to His mercy and benevolence. At this juncture, take a moment to make dua for a blessed stay and positive experiences throughout your journey. Seek His blessings in exploring new places, meeting new people, and gaining valuable insights from your travels.

Remember, dua is not limited to seeking protection from harm; it is also about seeking blessings, prosperity, and spiritual growth. Embrace the opportunity to connect with Allah, for He is ever-ready to respond to your heartfelt supplications.

Can dua change the course of my journey?

While we ultimately rely on Allah’s divine decree, dua has the power to invoke His intervention and influence the outcome of our journey. It instills within us a sense of tranquility, strengthens our faith, and aligns our actions with His guidance.

Are there specific duas for different modes of travel?

Yes, there are supplications and prayers tailored to various forms of travel. These include prayers for boarding a plane, driving, sailing, or any other mode of transportation. These specific duas ensure that we seek Allah’s protection and blessings throughout the journey.

In the realm of travel, dua serves as a faithful companion, offering solace, protection, and blessings. By understanding the essence of dua, making supplications before, during, and after the journey, and expressing gratitude upon arrival, we infuse our travels with spirituality and divine guidance. Embrace the power of dua, for it is an integral part of our faith and an ever-present source of strength. Let your journey be safe, blessed, and filled with the mercy of Allah, knowing that you are under His watchful care.

As we embark on our travels, may we always remember the profound impact dua can have on our journeys, both in this world and the next.

Dua for Travel in Islam: The Importance and Practice

In Islam, dua, or supplication, holds a significant importance in the lives of believers. It is a means of communicating with Allah, seeking His guidance, mercy, and blessings in all aspects of life. When it comes to travel, dua plays a crucial role in safeguarding and seeking Allah’s protection during the journey. It is a way for the traveler to seek Allah’s help in ensuring a safe and successful trip.

The act of traveling is a common occurrence in the lives of many individuals. Whether for leisure, business, or religious purposes, embarking on a journey necessitates the need for dua. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged the practice of dua before setting off on a journey, as it serves as a form of seeking protection and guidance from Allah.

When a Muslim is about to embark on a journey, it is recommended to recite specific dua for travel. This supplication is derived from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and holds immense significance in seeking Allah’s protection and blessings during the travel. The act of reciting this dua exemplifies the reliance and trust in Allah’s power and mercy throughout the journey.

The dua for travel in Islam is as follows:

Arabic: رَّبِّ اَدْخِلْنِيْ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَّاَخْرِجْنِيْ مُخْــرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَّاجْعَلْ لِّيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطٰنًا نَّصِيْرًا Transliteration: Rabbi Adkhilnee Mudkhala S’idqiw Wa Akhrijnee Mukhraja S’diqiw Waj-a’l Lee Mil Ladunkaa Sult’aanan Nas’eeraa Translation: “My Lord! Let my entry (to the city of Al-Madinah) be good, and likewise my exit (from the city of Makkah) be good. And grant me from You an authority to help me (or a firm sign or a proof).”

Reciting this dua before commencing the journey is a means of seeking Allah’s protection from the potential difficulties and challenges that may arise during travel. It acknowledges the uncertainties of the road and seeks Allah’s assistance in ensuring a safe and smooth journey.

Furthermore, the practice of reciting this dua for travel is a manifestation of a believer’s submission to the will of Allah. It demonstrates a humble acknowledgment of human vulnerability and a sincere appeal for divine assistance. By invoking Allah’s protection, the traveler entrusts their safety and well-being to the Creator, recognizing His ultimate control over all affairs.

In addition to reciting the dua for travel, it is also recommended for the traveler to engage in acts of charity and goodwill. Giving charity with a sincere intention is a virtuous deed that can potentially lead to the fulfillment of one’s dua. The act of charity serves as a means of seeking Allah’s favor and blessings, and it demonstrates gratitude and generosity towards others.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of charity and its potential to avert calamities and hardships. By giving charity with a pure and selfless intention, a believer invites Allah’s mercy and kindness into their lives. In the context of travel, engaging in acts of charity before embarking on the journey can serve as a means of seeking Allah’s protection and blessings.

The practice of reciting dua for travel in Islam is an essential aspect of seeking Allah’s protection and guidance during the journey. It is a demonstration of faith and reliance on Allah’s mercy and benevolence. Additionally, the act of giving charity with a sincere intention can further enhance the likelihood of one’s dua being answered by Allah. By combining the practice of dua with acts of charity, a believer can reinforce their connection with Allah and seek His assistance in all endeavors, including travel. May Allah grant us all safe and blessed travels, Ameen.

The one who has created us has formulated basic codes so that we are not left alone anywhere, and we remind ourselves that Allah is present nearest to us and takes care of our journey. We just need to work on the ethics of travel. We need to recite the days telling Allah that we only put our trust in Him.

Q. Should You Pray Before Traveling?

A. Yes, it is highly recommended to say 2 raka’at nafal prayers before you start your journey. As the Prophet PBUH said:

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

Similarly, when you come back home after the journey, you should again say 2 raka’at prayer to thank Allah.

Q. Are Duas Accepted When Traveling?

A. The Prophet PBUH has told us about certain times of the day or certain instances in life when the chances of acceptance of prayer are very high. One of these times is when a Muslim is traveling. So if your trip and your dua are both for a good reason, remember Allah during the journey and He will surely remember you.

As the Prophet 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]

What Did Prophet Muhammad SAW Say About Travel?

Ibn Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that when the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam, would ride on his camel in order to travel, he would say:

Allaah is the greatest [Allaahu Akbar], three times, then would say:

Transcendent is Allaah who has subjugated this for us, and we were not powerful ourselves enough to use it as a ride and to Allaah is our return. O Allaah, we ask in this travel of ours, for piety, righteousness, and actions that please You. O Allaah, make this travel easy on us, and make its distance shortened. O Allaah, You are the companion in travel, and the caretaker of the family. O Allaah, we seek refuge in You from tiredness of travel, looking sorrowful, and from an evil return in wealth or family.

When he, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, would return, he would say:

We have returned; we repent to Allaah, worship Allaah, and thank our Lord.

Reported by Muslim (1342 )

Transcendent is Allaah who has subjugated this for us, and we were not powerful ourselves enough to use it as a ride, the occasion of beginning with this remembrance and starting with:

Transcendent, is to deem Allaah the Exalted, in that subjugating riding beast for us is a great favor that none besides Him and do, so it is appropriate to rule Him as transcendent and having no partners in such an instance.

To Allaah is our return , the occasion of this is that since riding a boat or a riding beast might lead to death at times, that causes them to remember their hereafter, so it was appropriate to mention the hereafter, because the riding beast is one of the means that one is destroyed, which would cause them to fear Allaah on their riding beast and on their travels.

O Allaah, You are the companion in travel, meaning, the One that preserves and helps.

The origin of the word refers to accompanying, and it refers to the accompanying of Allaah by way of care, preservation, and maintaining.

So, through this statement, he, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, brought notice to reliance on and sufficing with Him apart from any other companion.

The caretaker of the family, the caretaker or successor is the one that takes the place of someone in caring for their affairs.

At-Tooribishti, may Allaah have mercy on him, said:

The meaning is that You, O Allaah, am the One that I seek and rely on in my travel, in that You be my helper and preserver, as well as in my absence away from my family, to tidy them, cure them, and preserve their religion and trusts for me.

Looking sorrowful, meaning, I seek refuge in You from anything that necessitates sorrow, such as losing out on what I want, and something happening that I was previously cautious of.

From an evil return, meaning, I seek refuge in You from an evil return, where I would be affected with sadness or sickness.

In wealth or family, such as going back while not completing their needs, or to some calamity in oneself, such as sickness, in wealth, such as having one’s wealth stolen, either all or some of it, or in family, such as the wife, servants, or relative, such as one of them getting sick or dying.

Al-Faa’iq states: An sorrowful return refers to a person returning to their country to find something that would make them sorrowful in terms of something that befalls then in this travels, or in what they are approaching.

Islam calls us to remain in a permanent relationship with God Almighty at all times because of the great benefits that accrue to the individual.

From that, the Messenger of Allah SAW taught us to supplicate to Allah in our house and when we travel, just as the traveler needs to feel the presence of Allah in his travels for what is in that is from fatigue and hardship, as it came in the hadith.

The prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, gave precedence to preservation of religion over preservation of trust, because he was keen on it, and because traveling is a time when a person would be fearful, in danger, could be hurt, and could face hardships and tiredness, causing them to neglect some aspects regarding religion, such as delaying prayer past its due time, and so forth, as is seen.

Anas, may Allaah be pleased with him, said that a man approached the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, and said:

O Messenger of Allaah, I am traveling, so give me provisions. He, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said:

May Allaah give you provisions in the form of piety [Taqwa].

The man said: Increase me. He, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said:

May He also forgive your sins. The man said: Increase me. The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: May He also facilitate goodness for you wherever you are.

• May Allaah give you provisions in the form of piety [Taqwa],” because the best of provisions is piety, and it is the provision of the hereafter.
• May He also forgive your sins, meaning, all of your sins, and especially the sins that you do when traveling.
• May He also facilitate goodness for you wherever you are, meaning, may He make religious and worldly goodness, such as Hajj, fighting in battle, knowledge, seeking lawful sustenance, keeping the ties of the womb, and so forth, facilitated for you, regardless of where you are going and headed to.

It is also a possibility that the man was asking for actual provisions, as in, what is known to be provisions, but the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, responded to him in a wise way, and that is by telling him that your provision occurs when you keep away from the prohibitions of Allaah and keep away from disobeying Him the Exalted.

Dua for traveling

• April 19, 2022
• Posted by sara

What are the best Dua for traveling?

before we do anything, we ask Allah for his blessing and guidance, an example of this is the dua for traveling, we ask Allah to keep us safe from any harm.

Traveling is an adventure that is full of surprises no matter how hard we plan for it, that is why as Muslims we say supplication to protect us during the journey.

We have Duas concerning all aspects of life like Dua Before Eating and Dua After Eating , dua for children’s success , and so on. And we should learn those supplications, but if you can’t memorize the dua then don’t worry you could easily download it or search for it on the internet.

So, in this article, we will learn how to protect ourselves while traveling by remembering Allah and reciting Dua.

Dua for traveling on plane

• When leaving your home anytime you should say the following Dua:

“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.”

As Anas bin Malik narrated that the prophet peace and blessing be upon him said: “Whoever says upon leaving his house (I begin with the Name of Allah; I trust in Allah; there is no altering of conditions but by the Power of Allah.) it will be said to him: ‘You are guided, defended and protected.’ The devil will go far away from him.”

• When traveling or on your way to leave the country, the prophet peace and blessing be upon him instructed us to recite the following to have a safe journey:

 “Bismillah, Walhamdulillah. Subhanal-ladzi sakh-khara lana hadza wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbina lamun-qalibun.”

“In the name of Allah and all praise is for Allah. How perfect He is, the One Who has placed this (transport) at our service, and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny.” (Hadith reported by Abu Daud and At-Tirmidhi)

• Now when you arrive your destination our prophet peace and blessing be upon him instructed us to say the following supplication:

“Allahumma rabbas samawatis sab’i wa ma azlalna, wa rabbal ardinas sab’i wa ma aqlalna, wa rabbash-shayatini wa ma adlalna, wa rabbar riyahi wa ma zaraina, as’aluka khaira hadzihil qaryah wa khaira ahliha, wa khaira ma fiha, wa a’udzubika min sharriha wa sharri ahliha, wa sharri ma fiha.”

“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.”

What is the Dua for travelling in car?

To have a safe travel and to ask Allah to bless your journey the prophet peace and blessing be upon him instructed us to recite the following Dua:

بِسْـمِ اللهِ وَالْحَمْـدُ لله، سُـبْحانَ الّذي سَخَّـرَ لَنا هذا وَما كُنّا لَهُ مُقْـرِنين، وَإِنّا إِلى رَبِّنا لَمُنـقَلِبون، الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، سُـبْحانَكَ اللّهُـمَّ إِنّي ظَلَـمْتُ نَفْسي فَاغْـفِرْ لي، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِـرُ الذُّنوبَ إِلاّ أَنْـت

“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.”

2-     رَّبِّ اَدْخِلْنِيْ مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَّاَخْرِجْنِيْ مُخْــرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَّاجْعَلْ لِّيْ مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ سُلْطٰنًا نَّصِيْرًا.

Dua for someone who is travelling

• When riding your transportation recite the following Dua:

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.

• When taking off on the trip recite the following Dua:

lla ihlmh ila allmha waḥdahs lba sh ryka lh llhn almlk  wlh alnḥ mld whww ʿl a kll shyw’r qd yrsh aybṭwnn twamb wnḍ ʿabnd wnr sajadrwny lḥr bmnaa ḥramdwn ṣndqa allahl wʿkhdyhr whndhṣhr  ʿbdh w hzm alaahḥlzhab  wnḥʿdwh bk mn shrha wshr ahlha wshr ma fyha

There is none worthy of worship besides Allah who has no partner. His is the Kingdom and to Him is all praise, for He has created everything. 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.

• When reaching your Destination recite the following supplication:

Allhm rb alsmawat alsbʿ wma aẓlln wrb alarḍyn alsbʿ wma aqlln wrb alshyaṭyn wma aḍlln wrb alryaḥ wma dhryn fina nsalk khyr hdhh alqrya wkhyr ahlha wnʿwdh bk mn shrha wshr ahlha wshr ma fyha.

O Allah, You are the Lord of the seven skies and all the things that are under these skies and the seven planets and whatever is over these and of Satan who misled and all those misled by him and for the wind and all that it blows. Thus we seek the good of this town and the good of its members (people) and seek refuge from its evil and the evil of its members, and from the evils of whatever is in it.

Duas For Travelling

Table of Contents

Travelling always comes with an unpredictable aspect. Regardless of how much you plan, you will never know how the journey will progress or end. 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. Keep reading to learn more about the duas for traveling .

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)

Duas for Travelling in a Car

To protect yourself and your travel companions it is recommended by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to recite the following Surah, with a wish to have a safe and blessed journey:

بِسْـمِ اللهِ وَالْحَمْـدُ لله، سُـبْحانَ الّذي سَخَّـرَ لَنا هذا وَما كُنّا لَهُ مُقْـرِنين، وَإِنّا إِلى رَبِّنا لَمُنـقَلِبون، الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، سُـبْحانَكَ اللّهُـمَّ إِنّي ظَلَـمْتُ نَفْسي فَاغْـفِرْ لي، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِـرُ الذُّنوبَ إِلاّ أَنْـت

“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)

In general, having been often mentioned in the Quran, travelling  is a way to achieve insight and wisdom by broadening an individual’s horizons and potential

Duas for Travelling on Plane

Travelling is viewed as a good deed in Islam. this is mainly because in Islam, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his Ummah succeeded in spreading Islam through exploration and travelling. The act of travelling also strengthens our belief, aboutwhich Allah (SWT) says in the Quran: “Say (O Muhammad): ‘ Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate creation.'” (Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 20)

Therefore, following the Sunnah – acts of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) – it is advised that every Muslim should follow the exemplary Adab (etiquette) mentioned below, while travelling out of the city or country:

• Dua When You Leave the House | Praying 2 Raka’at of Sunnah

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), on the adab of leaving your house for travelling , stated: “When you leave your house, perform two raka’at, and this will safeguard you against evils. When you return home, perform another two raka’at, and this will safeguard you against evils.” (Hadith reported by Al-Bazzar and al-Bayhaqi)

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.”

( Hadith reported by Abu Daud, At-Tirmidhi, and An-Nasa’i)

• Dua Upon Boarding the Plane

When one enters or boards the plane, it is advised by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to recite the following verses to have a blessed and safe journey:

“Bismillah, Walhamdulillah. Subhanal-ladzi sakh-khara lana hadza wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbina lamun-qalibun.”

“In the name of Allah and all praise is for Allah. How perfect He is, the One Who has placed this (transport) at our service, and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny.”

(Hadith reported by Abu Daud and At-Tirmidhi)

When praying on a plane it is imperative to determine the direction of the Qibla. If you are flying towards Saudi Arabia, it is most likely that the plane will already be facing the direction of the Qibla.

• Dua When You Arrive at Your Destination | Enter a New Country or City

According to the narration of Suhaib (RA), Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would recite the following verse when he looked at the town that he wished to enter:

“Allahumma rabbas samawatis sab’i wa ma azlalna, wa rabbal ardinas sab’i wa ma aqlalna, wa rabbash-shayatini wa ma adlalna, wa rabbar riyahi wa ma zaraina, as’aluka khaira hadzihil qaryah wa khaira ahliha, wa khaira ma fiha, wa a’udzubika min sharriha wa sharri ahliha, wa sharri ma fiha.”

“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.”

(Hadith reported by An-Nasa’i and Al-Hakim)

• Dua Upon Entering the Place to Stay (Hotel)

When entering a hotel, people are usually unknown to the history of their place of stay. Therefore, to safeguard themselves from all possible hazards and accidents, it is recommended by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to recite the following verses:

“A’udzu bikalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq”

“I seek refuge in Allah’s perfect words from every evil (that has been created).”

(Hadith reported by Muslim)

Khawalah binte Hakim As-Sulaimiyyah (RA) narrates for the aforementioned verses that she heard Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saying, “Whoever, on arrival, says (verse mentioned above) no evil shall befall him until he departs from where he arrived.”

• Dua When Facing Difficulties

There will be several times when travelling when one might feel lost. In such a case, it is advised to perform zikr (remembrance) of Allah (SWT) and istighfar (for forgiveness) for our sins.

In a narration by Abdullah bin Abbas (RA), it is stated that, “Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that if a person constantly makes Istighfar (i.e., “Astaghfirullah”), then Allah removes every difficulty, frees him from every sorrow and makes a means for him to receive sustenance from places that he never thought of.” (Hadith reported by Ahmad)

• Dua Upon Returning Home | Praying 2 Raka’at of Sunnah

As it is advised to pray two raka’at when leaving for a journey, it is also recommended to pray two raka’at when returning home.  Jabir (RA), in a narration, says that: “I was travelling with the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) When we reached Madinah, He Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said to me, “Enter the mosque and pray two raka’at.”

Also, it is recommended to perform the prayer in the same way as the two raka’at prayers before leaving the house.

• Dua Upon Entering Home

When returning home, it is advised to recite the following verses to show gratitude and thank Allah (SWT) for the amazing opportunity He blessed you with.

“Ayibun, ta’ibun, ‘abidun, sajidun, lirabbina hamidun”

“We return, repentant, worshipping, prostrating, and praising our Lord.”

With the aforementioned prayer, one requests Allah (SWT) to increase their provisions and wealth in abundance and grant them the opportunity to witness the magnificent wonder of Allah (SWT) in the future as well.

Dua for Protection

“bismillahi,aamantu billahi, wa tawakkaltu allallahi, ma-sha-allah, la haula wala quawwata illa billah. allahumma ahadhni wahfadh ma ma`ee wa ballighnee wa balligh ma ma ma`ee bi blalaghikalhusn, billahi astaftihu wa billahi astanjihu wa bi muhammadin sallallahu alaiyhi wa aalihi atawajjahu. allahukka sahhil lee kulla huzoonatin wa dhallil lee kulla huzoonatin wa dhallil lee kulla su`oobatin wa a`tinee mina khairi kullih akhtar mimma arju wasirf annee minash-sharri mimma uhad-diru fee aafi;yatin, ya arhamarrahimeen.”

“In the name of Allah! I have placed faith in Allah, and I have put full trust in Allah.  (It is) as Allah wills! There is no strength and no power save with Allah”. “O, Allah! Protect me and protect what is with me (my possessions), and deliver me (to my destination and delivery what is with me the best of your delivery.  By Allah, I commence (my journey), and by Allah, I seek to accomplish (the purpose of my journey) and by Muhammad (s.a.w.) I have set out (towards my destination). ‘O’ Allah make me overcome all (my grief); make easy for me all difficulties, and give me more of goodness than I hope for; keep away all evil of which I am apprehensive for my health.”  “O the most Merciful.”

The muslim traveler's guide to packing for a trip.

Traveling can be one of the most exhilarating and liberating experiences in life. You get to explore new places, have unique experiences, and make lasting memories with friends and family. But to any Muslim traveler, there is an additional layer of spiritual appreciation around it; something that turns a regular vacation into somewhat of a pilgrimage — the power of prayer! It’s believed by many people across the world that reciting certain supplications (known as Duas) for traveling helps bring protection and peace on your journey. Here we will look at some of these traveling prayers for Muslims, what they mean in Arabic, how you can use them when traveling, and other useful tips to help you stay safe wherever you go.

The importance of Dua for traveling

Duas (or supplications) are a powerful form of spiritual communication, as they allow us to communicate directly with Allah and ask for His protection, guidance, and grace. When it comes to traveling in particular, there are tons of authentic narrations from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), that teaches the importance of saying certain Duas whenever someone embarks on a journey. The most famous Dua for travel is known as “Dua al-Safar” or “The Traveler’s Prayer”.

This special prayer will not only help bring you safety during your trip but will also provide you an extra shield of mental peace while you travel and explore new places. It can be recited anytime during your journey, before setting out or even when you arrive to your destination.

Travel essentials for Muslim travelers

Apart from the spiritual tools of prayer, there are also some key material items that all Muslim travelers should bring with them on their journeys. These include:

– A Quran and/or an Islamic book ; this is particularly important if traveling abroad and encountering a new culture.

-Headscarves and long clothes such as abayas or hijab(s) can be useful for those observing traditional modesty.

– Islamic books or audio lectures that contain Islamic knowledge relevant to the situation, such as understanding cultural norms in other countries or how to deal with a difficult travel experience.

– An Islamic compass that can help with finding the direction of qibla (the direction to face when praying) no matter where you are.

– Miswak – a natural toothbrush found in some Islamic countries, it is considered Sunnah (recommended practice) to use it while traveling.

– Prayer beads or tasbihs – these are particularly useful for dhikr and reciting Duas throughout your journey.

These items will not only provide spiritual support during your travels but also provide practical guidance on how to observe Islamic etiquette both at home and abroad.

What to say in a dua for traveling

سبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ. Quran Verse Travel Duaa

Subhana-alladhi sakh-khara la-na hadha wa ma kunna la-hu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbi-na la munqalibun. 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. Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14 Travel Duaa

-Look for times when you may be feeling especially vulnerable or anxious while traveling, such as during long flights or in unfamiliar places, and recite the Dua at those moments.

-Always be mindful of Allah’s presence in your travels, regardless of where you are or what challenges come your way.

The best time to recite a dua for traveling

The best time to recite a Dua for travel is just before setting out on the journey. This will ensure that you begin your travels with blessings and protection from Allah, as well as help focus your thoughts and intentions so that they remain in line with His guidance throughout the journey. Additionally, it is a good idea to recite any special Duas or prayers you may have learned while traveling, such as “l-Safar” or “The Traveler’s Prayer”. This special prayer will not only help bring you safety during your trip, but will also provide you an extra shield of mental peace while you travel and explore new places. It can be recited anytime during your journey, before setting out, or before going to sleep.

The blessings of making a dua for traveling

Making a Dua for travel is an excellent way to ensure that your travels are blessed and protected. By asking Allah for His guidance, mercy, and protection, we can rest assured that He will provide us with the strength and courage to persevere throughout our journey.

What to do if your journey is interrupted

If your journey is interrupted or delayed due to any unforeseen circumstances, it is important to stay patient and remember that Allah has a plan for you. During these times, it is beneficial to recite the Dua for travel again, as well as make supplications asking Him for guidance and ease in the situation. Additionally, you can also seek refuge with Him by reading Surah Al-Kafirun (The Disbelievers) and other prayers of protection. Finally, try to maintain a positive attitude during these difficult periods – knowing that Allah will provide you with what’s best in His perfect timing.

Hadith About Safar ki Dua

Ali bin Rabi’ah said:

                             I witnessed Ali ( Allah be pleased with him) having an animal brought to him to ride. When he placed his foot in the strip, he said: بسم اللہ  ( Bismillah) In the name of Allah, three times. So then, once he had ascended upon its back, he said: الحمد لله (Al-humdulillah) All praises due to Allah. 

Then he said: سُبْحَانَ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِيْنَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ (Subhan alladhi sakh-khara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin. Wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun) Glory to Him Who has subjected this to us, and we are not able to do it. And, surely, to our lord are we returning.

Then he said: الحمد لله ( Al- hamdulillah) All praise is due to Allah- three times- and الله اكبر  (Allahu Akbar) Allah is the greatest – three times- سبحانك اني قد ظلمت نفسي فاغفر لي فانا لا يغفر الذنوب الا انت (Subhanaka inni qad zalamtu nafsi faghfirli fa- innahu la yaghfirudh- dhunuba illa ant) Glory is to You. Indeed, I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for indeed, none forgives sins except you.

Then he laughed. So I said: O Commander of the believer! What caused you to laugh? He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah do as I did, then he (SAW) laughed, so I said, What caused you to laugh? He(SAW) said: Indeed your lord is very pleased with His worshipper when he says: “O my lord, forgive me my sins, indeed, no one other than you forgives sins.” 

(Book Sunan Tirmizi,   Sahih Hadith #3446 )

We came to know from this hadith that we should;

• Say بسم اللہ Bismillah -three times while we are sitting on our ride. 
• Say الحمد لله Alhumdulillah when we sit.
• Then say safar ki dua سُبْحَانَ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِيْنَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ (Subhan alladhi sakh-khara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin. Wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun) 
• الحمد لله Alhumdullialah- three times.
•   الله اكبر   Allahu akbar- three times.
• In the last سبحانك اني قد ظلمت نفسي فاغفر لي فانا لا يغفر الذنوب الا انت (Subhanaka inni qad zalamtu nafsi faghfirli fa- innahu la yaghfirudh- dhunuba illa ant) one time.

When on a plane, you should say  الله اكبر ( Allahu-akbar) when the plane is rising upward. When the plane is landing, say سبحان الله (Subhan- Allah) praise to be Allah. If the plane or ride stumbles, start saying Bismillah. Allah will protect you from any harm.

'Safar': The Arabic word for travel has influenced the English language

The term can also refer to sunny days, a brighter-blazing fire or exile.

The Arabic word for travel, safar, is used across dialects and accents. The National

Ibn Battuta , the famous 14th-century Arab explorer and scholar, is considered one of the greatest travellers in history. During his lifetime, he travelled throughout the Islamic world and beyond, recording his experiences in his travelogue – The Rihla (journey).

In the pages where he details his travels to Saudi Arabia, India, China, Spain and the Mali empire, Ibn Battuta wrote: “travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”

Ibn Battuta’s words emphasise the transformative power of travel and the profound experiences that come through the observation and exposure of diverse cultures, societies and geography.

Today's Arabic word of the week, safar, is the word most often used across dialects and accents to mean travel.

Derived from the three Arabic letters seen, fah and rah, safar is also pronounced as safara in classical Arabic.

As a verb, it has several meanings. The first refers to the act of something being discovered, becoming apparent or clear. This definition can be applied to an object, idea or a concept taking formation or becoming understood.

For example, one can use safara in the context of the weather when referring to a sunny day, meaning that the sunlight has turned the skies clear after bad weather or a dark night.

The Arabic expression imraa safira is taken from this meaning and describes a woman whose face is not veiled or who doesn’t wear a hijab – meaning her face is clearly seen. This is not a negative phrase but simply a way of pointing out a distinction between women who do and do not wear a hijab.

Hob is the Arabic word for love, but can be used in many contexts

Another meaning for safara relates to forging connections between people. The word can be used to describe means of communication that bring groups of people together, such as letters and open discussions as well as messengers and diplomats.

Another verb variant of safara is seffara, which is when a person or object is sent to another place by someone of a higher rank within a family, work or government context. It can also mean to exile someone from the country.

The same word is also used to reference a lit fire that starts to blaze brighter. And in a completely different context, seffara can be used to refer to the act of wrapping an object in cloth.

Aside from these various meanings, safar is most commonly used as the verb to travel. Its official definition is to travel a certain distance and to travel across the land. The word is also used in Farsi, Spanish and Portuguese.

Interestingly, the verb for travel in Swahili is derived from the Arabic safar. The word in Swahili is safari, which is a term that entered the English language in the late 1850s, thanks to British explorer, writer and orientalist scholar Richard Francis Burton .

Aside from bringing the word safari to the western mainstream, Burton also exported one of the most culturally important Arabic stories. He was one of the first to translate a version of The Arabian Nights – an epic story where travel is a significant theme – that includes all the stories from the original manuscripts, rather than solely the popular ones. He also translated the text from the original Arabic, rather than relying on previous translations.

In Arabic, safar is also used to describe other facets of travelling. Mousafir is someone who is travelling or a traveller, while wakalat safar is a travel agency and jawaz al safar is a passport. An embassy is also referred to as safarah, referring specifically to a group of people who have travelled or been sent to represent their country.
