When Leaving the House
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
Transliteration
Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
Translation
In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah — there is no power nor strength except with Allah.
What this dua means
Three sentences at your doorstep: Allah's name, your trust in Him, and the admission that all strength is His.
When to read it
Every time you leave the house — for work, errands, anything.
Virtue
The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever says it when leaving home is told, 'You are guided, sufficed, and protected' — and Satan stays away from him. (Abu Dawud 5095)
