Invocation for traveling
اللهُ
أكبَر ، اللهُ أكبَر ، اللهُ أكبَر، سُـبْحانَ الَّذي سَخَّـرَ لَنا هذا
وَما كُنّا لَهُ مُقْـرِنين، وَإِنّا إِلى رَبِّنـا لَمُنْقَـلِبون،
اللّهُـمَّ إِنّا نَسْـأَلُكَ في سَفَـرِنا هذا البِـرَّ وَالتَّـقْوى،
وَمِنَ الْعَمَـلِ ما تَـرْضى، اللّهُـمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَـينا سَفَرَنا هذا
وَاطْوِ عَنّا بُعْـدَه، اللّهُـمَّ أَنْـتَ الصّـاحِبُ في السَّـفَر،
وَالْخَلـيفَةُ في الأهـلِ، اللّهُـمَّ إِنّـي أَعـوذُبِكَ مِنْ وَعْـثاءِ
السَّـفَر، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْـظَر، وَسوءِ الْمُنْـقَلَبِ في المـالِ
وَالأَهْـل.

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.
Upon returning recite
the same again adding:
آيِبُـونَ تائِبُـونَ عابِـُدونَ لِرَبِِّـنا
حـامِـدُونَ
'Aa'iboona,
taa'iboona, 'aabidoona, Lirabbinaa haamidoon.
We return repentant to our Lord, worshipping our Lord, and praising our
Lord.
