❓ Suggest a travel supplication (dua).
hanefiDear brother/sister, the most famous supplication recited when setting out on a journey, in accordance with the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace be upon him), is as follows:
Transliteration:
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Subhanalladhi sakhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbina la-munqalibun. Allahumma inna nas'aluka fi safarina hadhal-birra wat-taqwa wa minal-'amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin 'alayna safarana hadha watwi 'anna bu'dah. Allahumma antas-sahibu fis-safari wal-khalifatu fil-ahl. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min wa'tha'is-safari wa ka'abatil-manzari wa su'il-munqalabi fil-mali wal-ahl.
Meaning:
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. Glory be to Him who has subjected this to us, and we were not able to do it. And indeed, to our Lord we will return. O Allah, we ask You in this journey of ours for righteousness, piety, and deeds that are pleasing to You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and shorten its distance. O Allah, You are the Companion in the journey and the Successor (Guardian) over the family left behind. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, from seeing bad sights, and from a bad outcome regarding my wealth and family.
When returning, it is Sunnah to add this part:
Ayibuna, ta'ibuna, 'abiduna, li-Rabbina hamidun. (We are returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.)

May Allah make your journey blessed and your departure and return safe.
