What to Say on Going Out of Your House
On going out of the house, one
should pray:
Bismil-laah(i), tawakkaltu
alal-laah(i), laa hawla wa-laa quwwata illaa
bil-laah allaahumma innee
auudu bika an aDilla
aw-uDall(a), aw-azilla aw-uzall(a), aw-aZlima aw-uZlam(a),
aw-ajhala aw-yujhala alayy(a)
Translation
(In the name of Allah, I have put my
trust in Allah. There is no might or power except with Allah. O Allah, I seek
refuge in you from going astray or leading others astray, from slipping (into
sin) or causing others to slip, from wronging others or being wronged, and from
behaving with ignorance or being treated with ignorance.)
However, it is sufficient to say:
Bismil-laah(i), tawakaltu alallaah(i),
laa hawla walaa
quwwata illaa bil-laah
Translation
(In the name of Allah, I have put my
trust in Allah. There is no might or power except with Allah.)
The Prohet said, “When one goes out
of his house saying: Bismil-laah(i),
tawakaltu alallaah(i), laa
hawla walaa quwwata illaa
bil-laah, he is told, ‘This is
sufficient for you. You are protected,’ and the devil leaves him alone.”
