رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Rabbana atina fiddunia hasanatan wa fil aakhirati hasanatan wa qina ‘azabannar
Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.

اللهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إلا مَا جَعَلتَهُ سَهْلا وَ أنتَ تَجْعَلُ الحزْنَ إذا شِئْتَ سَهْلا
Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja’altahu sahla, wa ‘anta taj’alul hazna idha shi’ta sahla.

رَبِّ ٱشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى وَيَسِّرْ لِىٓ أَمْرِى وَٱحْلُلْ عُقْدَةًۭ مِّن لِّسَانِى يَفْقَهُوا۟ قَوْلِى

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ عَافَانِيْ مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ ، وَفَضَّلَنِيْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيْرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيْلًا
Alḥamdu lillāhi-lladhī ʿāfānī mimmā-btalāka bihī, wa faḍḍalanī ʿalā kathīrin mimman khalaqa tafḍīlā.
All praise is for Allah who saved me from that which He has afflicted you with, and favoured me greatly over much of His creation. Say it quietly, out of the sick person’s hearing.

Travel & Placement
اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِيْنَ ، وَإِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِيْ سَفَرِنَا هٰذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَىٰ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هٰذَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ ، وَالْخَلِيْفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ ، وَسُوْءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِيْ الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ
Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar, subḥāna-lladhī sakhkhara lanā hādhā wa mā kunnā lahū muqrinīn, wa innā ilā rabbinā la-munqalibūn. Allāhumma innā nas’aluka fī safarinā hādhā-l-birra wa-t-taqwā, wa mina-l-ʿamali mā tarḍā. Allāhumma hawwin ʿalaynā safaranā hādhā waṭwi ʿannā buʿdah. Allāhumma Anta-ṣ-ṣāḥibu fi-s-safar, wa-l-khalīfatu fi-l-ahl. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min waʿthā’i-s-safar, wa ka’ābati-l-manẓar, wa sū’i-l-munqalabi fi-l-māli wa-l-ahl.
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. How perfect is the One who has placed this under our control; we could never have done it by ourselves. Truly, to our Lord we are returning. O Allah, we ask You on this journey of ours for righteousness, piety, and deeds that please You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and fold up its distance. O Allah, You are our Companion on the journey and the Guardian of our family. O Allah, I seek Your protection from the hardship of travel, from a sorrowful sight, and from an ill-fated return regarding wealth and family.
Hadith | Sahih Muslim 1342
