Travel Dua

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ

Subhanal-ladhi 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 could never have it by our efforts, and verily to our Lord we shall return.

Quran 43:13-14, Sahih Muslim 2:978

Entering a Town or City

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضْلَلْنَ وَرَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَمَا ذَرَيْنَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ وَخَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا

Allahumma Rabbas-samawatis-sab'i wa ma adhlalna, wa Rabbal-aradeenas-sab'i wa ma aqlalna, wa Rabbash-shayateeni wa ma adlalna, wa Rabbar-riyahi wa ma dharayna, as'aluka khayra hadhihil-qaryati wa khayra ahliha wa khayra ma fiha, wa a'udhu bika 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 town, the goodness of its people and the goodness of what is in it. I seek refuge in You from its evil, the evil of its people and the evil of what is in it.

Al-Hakim 2:100, An-Nasai

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

A'udhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq

I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created. (Whoever says this when stopping at a place will not be harmed until he leaves.)

Sahih Muslim 4:2080
