Fire, an evil destination (indeed)!" (Qur’aan: 2:126)

Allaahumma innaa nas’aluka fee safarinaa hathal-birra wat-taqwaa, wa minal-‘amali maa tardhaa,

”Oh Allah, we ask you on this our journey for goodness and piety, and for works that are
pleasing to You. Oh Allah lighten this journey for us and make its distance easy for us. Oh
Allah, You are our Companion on the road and the One in Whose care we leave our family.
Oh 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.”
(Muslim, Book 007, Number 3113)
