- Before Setting Out: The Departure Prayer Begin your journey with a sense of purpose and protection by reciting a departure prayer. Seek guidance and safety for the road ahead, asking for a smooth and trouble-free journey. This prayer sets a positive tone and helps alleviate any anxieties associated with travel.
Example: “In the name of Allah, I place my trust in You. O Allah, guide me in this journey, protect me from harm, and grant me Your blessings. Make my travels safe and bring me back to my loved ones unharmed. Ameen.”
- On the Road: The Traveler’s Prayer (Dua for Safeguarding) During the journey, it’s essential to maintain a connection with the divine and seek continuous protection. The Traveler’s Prayer, known as “Dua for Safeguarding,” is a powerful supplication that asks for safety, security, and well-being on the road.
Example: “Subhanallazi sakhkhara lana hatha wa ma kunna lahu muqrineen. Wa inna ila Rabbina lamunqaliboon. Allahumma inna nas’aluka fee safari-na hatha albirra wat-taqwa, wa minal-‘amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin ‘alaina safarana hatha watwi ‘anna bu’dahu. Allahumma antas-sahibu fis-safari, wal-khalifatu fil-ahl.”
- Facing Challenges: The Supplication for Difficulty In the midst of challenging road conditions, traffic, or unexpected detours, recite the Supplication for Difficulty. Seek Allah’s assistance in overcoming obstacles and finding patience in the face of adversity.
Example: “La ilaha illallahu, Al-‘Azimu Al-Halimu, La ilaha illallahu, Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Azim. La ilaha illallahu, Rabbus-samawati wa rabbul-ard, wa rabbul-‘arshi alkareem.”
- Gratitude and Arrival: The Grateful Traveler’s Prayer As you reach your destination safely, express gratitude through the Grateful Traveler’s Prayer. Thank Allah for the protection provided during the journey and for arriving safely at your intended location.
Example: “Alhamdu lillahi ala kulli haal. Subhanallazi sakhkhara lana hatha wa ma kunna lahu muqrineen. Alhamdu lillahi allathee hadana lihatha, wa ma kunna linahtadiya lawla an hadana Allah.”
