Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mounted his camel for setting out on a journey, he would recite: “Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest),” thrice. Then The Prophet (ﷺ) would supplicate:

“Subhanal-ladhi sakh-khara lana hadha, wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila Rabbina lamunqalibun. Allahumma inna nas’aluka fi safarina hadh al-birra wat-taqwa, wa minal-‘amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin ‘alaina safarana hadha, watwi ‘anna bu’dahu. Allahumma Antas-Sahibu fissafari, wal-Khalifatu fil- ahli.

O Allah, You are our Companion during the journey and the Guardian of the family and the property in our absence. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travelling, unhappiness connected with ghastly scenes and evil turns in property and family.”

Shorten the distance for him and make the journey easy for him.” Tirmidhi (Riyad as-Salihin 978)

The above is sufficient but here is a more comprehensive version:

اللَّهُمَّ إني أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ أَوْ أُضَلَّ، أَوْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أُزَلَّ، أَوْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ، أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ

Allaahumma ‘innee ‘a’oodhu bika ‘an ‘adhilla, ‘aw ‘udhalla, ‘aw ‘azilla, ‘aw ‘uzalla, ‘aw ‘adhlima, ‘aw ‘udhlama, ‘aw ‘ajhala ‘aw yujhala ‘alayya.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others, or I am misguided by others, lest I cause others to err or I am caused to err, lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others.

Umm Salamah رضي الله عنها said, “Never did the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم leave my house without looking towards heaven, supplicating with these words. ( Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, An-Nasa’i, At-Tirmithi ).

8. Dua When Arriving Back Home

آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ

Transliteration : Ayibun, ta’ibun, ‘abidun, liRabbina hamidun.

Meaning: We return, we repent, we worship and we praise our Lord. (Muslim)

When we travel, it’s a great opportunity to ask Allah for help and guidance. Allah always responds to the prayers of travelers, especially when we’re traveling for a good reason like Umrah or Hajj.

As travelers, we’re away from home and in need of Allah’s help. Our prayers are more likely to be answered because Allah responds to those in need.

In fact, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us that three types of prayers are always answered:

The prayer of someone who’s been treated unfairly
The prayer of a traveler
The prayer of a parent for their child

When we travel, we should ask Allah to:

Protect us from the hardships of traveling
Keep us safe from unhappy experiences
Guard our property and family from harm
Forgive us and have mercy on us

It’s best to use the exact words taught by the Prophet (peace be upon him) when praying, but if we can’t remember them, we can use our own simple words.

11 Duas for Travelling For a Safe Journey

There are many Sunnah duas , supplications, raka , and dua for safe journey , regardless of the time and distance required for their completion.

Sunnah Before Traveling

It is the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH that you leave your home after offering two raka Sunnah prayers.

An explanation of one of his hadiths reported that before leaving your house, safeguard yourself against evil by performing two raka Sunnah, and when you return to your home, ensure that you perform two more Sunnah raka .

A Hadith in Musnad Al-Bazzar 380 narrates,

“When you leave your house, perform two raka’h and this will safeguard you against evil. When you enter your home, perform another two raka’h, and this will safeguard you against evil.”

In this prayer, you can continue with any surah following Surah Fatiha; however, Surah Al-Kafiroon and Al-Ikhlas hold significance.

Dua After You Leave the House

When you leave your house, many things cross your mind:

Will my belongings be safe till I return?
Will I safely reach my destination and perform my goal?
Will I encounter any hurdles in my way?
Will everything be safe like it was before?

Allah SWT has blessed the Muslims with one answer to all their worries: making dua for a safe journey with the zeal of faith and depth of their hearts.

Transliteration: Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alAllah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah

“In the name of Allah , I place my trust, and there is no might or power except by Allah.”

Safeguarding Journeys – The Dua for Traveling (Safar)

The Dua for Traveling (Safar): In the diverse tapestry of Islamic traditions, a prayer resonates through the ages, encapsulating the spirit of protection and ease for those embarking on journeys – the “Dua for Traveling” or “Dua for Safar.” In Arabic, it is uttered with sincerity: “اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِن وَعَثَاءِ السَفَرِ,” and in English, it translates to “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel.” This dua serves as a shield against the uncertainties that may accompany a journey and is deeply rooted in the teachings of Islam.

Muslims recite this dua before embarking on any trip, be it a short commute or a long-distance travel. It is a recognition that, while travel opens avenues for exploration and growth, it also brings forth challenges and uncertainties. The dua seeks not only physical safety but also spiritual and emotional well-being during the journey.

Dua After Leaving Your House

Saying prayers once you leave your home will ensure you have protection from Allah should you encounter any trouble along the way. Here's what the Holy Prophet (pbuh), the Messenger of Allah, stated:

" Whoever says (upon leaving the house): “In the Name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, there is no might or power except by Allah”, ‘it will be said to him: 'You have been sufficed and protected, and the devil will go far away from him." (Sunan At-Tirmizi)

It is important to pray to Allah and thank Him for safe travels once you reach your intended destination without a scratch on you. This will keep your mind focussed and rooted on Him as you continue on your excursion. Also, genuine gratitude and devotion will open doors for more blessings from the Almighty in your life.

“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.

“Whoever increases his prayers for forgiveness (i.e. Astaghfirullah), Allah will grant him relief from every worry, a way out from every hardship, and provide for him in ways he does not expect.” (Musnad Ahmad)

Dua Upon Safe Return to Home

While making dua for travelling is essential, it is equally important to praise Allah for a safe sojourn in a foreign land once you come back home safe and sound. It is recommended that believers perform 2 raka’at nawafil upon their return, just like they did prior to leaving.

“When you leave your house, perform two raka’at and this will safeguard you against evil. When you enter your home, perform another two raka’at and this will safeguard you against evil.” (Musnad Al-Bazzar)

There are special places where the Almighty Allah has placed emphasis on dua for journey, or physical travel.

The word "sayir" is used in the Holy Quran to refer to a traveller, its literal translation meaning to move or travel.

Travelling Duas in Islam

Which Surah to read before travelling? Surah Al-Kafirun (The Disbelievers) is a good one to read before setting off on a journey. You must pray two raka’at Sunnah prayers prior to leaving your home for a journey, and this will keep you safe.

This is the hadith that supports it: "When you leave your house, perform two raka’at and this will safeguard you against evil. When you enter your home, perform another two raka’at, and this will safeguard you against evil." (Musnad Al-Bazzar)

Dua After Leaving the Home

What is the dua for travel protection?

You can also pray this dua: "O Allah, we ask You in our travel for righteousness, taqwa , and good deeds that You are pleased with. O Allah makes our travel easier and shortens the distance for us. O Allah, You are our Companion in travel and the guardian of our family (in our absence). O Allah I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, a sight of grief, and from an unfortunate occurrence in wealth and family."

An important travelling dua in Islam to make is when you are boarding the transportation vessel (car, ship, plane, etc.) or animal (camel, horse, etc.). It will bring the chosen vessel or animal under the Almighty’s command, ensuring protection and safe travels. This is the dua you can make: “Board it! In the Name of Allah, it will sail and cast anchor. Surely my Lord is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Al Quran, Surah Hud, 11: 41)

Dua during Travelling

How do you pray when travelling? It is essential to make dua for safe travelling for the duration of the journey itself, to seek travel mercies and grace from the Almighty. It will give you peace in knowing you are under His protection. A good verse to recite for this purpose is, “I begin with the Name of Allah; I trust in Allah; there is no altering of conditions but by the Power of Allah.”

Dua When Ascending or Descending in the Transport

What is dua for an easy journey? It is the prayer that one makes seeking Allah's blessings for a trip without troubles and difficulties. You can say a dua for safe travelling that assures you an easy and comfortable journey, since Islam covers all aspects of travel. As such, Ibn ‘Umar (RA) reported: Whenever the Prophet and his army ascended a height, they would proclaim: “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest), and when they climbed down, they would proclaim: “Subhan Allah” (Allah is free from imperfection). (Riyah As Salihin)

Dua for Travelling in a Car

Car travel can be tricky and unpredictable for many reasons, even if you're well prepared for the journey. The blessed Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) recommended reciting the ensuing Surah for a safe and blessed travel for you and your companions.

Here's the dua for safe journey in English: “With the Name of Allah. Praise is to Allah. 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. Praise is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. Praise is to Allah. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Glory is to You. O Allah, I have wronged my own soul. Forgive me, for surely none forgives sins but You.” (Abu Dawud 3/34, At-Tirmidhi 5/501)

Dua for Travelling on a Plane

Dua for flying is imperative, as thousands of Muslims worldwide travel for various reasons, including Umrah, Hajj, and others which require air travel. So, whether you are making dua for someone travelling on a plane or for yourself, you can begin by reciting this dua for flight before boarding the plane: “In the name of Allah and all praise is for Allah. How perfect He is, the One Who has placed this (transport) at our service, and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny.”

Dua of the Traveller for the Residents

While dua for traveller is important, it is also essential for those leaving on a journey to make prayers for the loved ones they are leaving behind at home. It is an important travelling dua in Islam that keeps family members safe when you are away. You can make this prayer: "I leave you in the care of Allah, as nothing is lost that is in His care." (Musnad Ahmad, Ibn Majah)

You can also make this specific dua for your parents: “My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work the righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims.” (Quran 46:15)

Dua of the Residents for the Traveller

Making dua for safe travel for a loved one is paramount, as it brings them under the protection of Allah Almighty. It is a good way to see them off, offering assurance that you are supporting the voyage they are embarking upon. Residents (or family members) remaining back home can say this prayer for a loved one setting off on pilgrimage or journey: "I leave your religion in the care of Allah, as well as your safety, and the last of your deeds." (Jami At-Tirmidhi)

Dua When Stopping or Lodging Somewhere

The blessed Prophet (PBUH) recommends that travellers make a dua when sojourning in a place during the course of a journey. This is an especially helpful dua for travelling long distances, as you may need to stopover at many points before reaching the final destination.

Make this dua: "O Earth, my Lord and yours is Allah. I seek protection in Allah from your evil and the evil that is in you, and the evil that has been created in you, and the evil of that which crawls on you. I seek protection in Allah from lions, black things, snakes, scorpions, and the inhabitants of the land, parents and offspring alike." (Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan An Nasai)

Dua When Experiencing Difficulties during Travel

There may be times during the journey that you may face hurdles and difficulties or feel lost. When this happens, it is recommended that you make Istighfar (or Astaghfirullah - prayer for forgiveness of sins) constantly, besides performing Zikr (remembrance) of Allah Almighty.

That's why you must make dua when travelling if facing difficulties, ensuring you're protected from all evil. Abdullah bin Abbas (RA) reported that the blessed Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever increases his prayers for forgiveness (Astaghfirullah), Allah will grant him relief from every worry, a way out from every hardship, and provide for him in ways he does not expect.” (Musnad Ahmad)

Dua Upon Reaching the Travel Destination

While you can say dua for safe journey in Arabic, it is equally vital to say prayers when entering your intended travel destination - whether town, city, village, or country. Suhayb (RA) states that the Prophet (PBUH) did not enter or see any place/village without saying the following dua: "O Allah, let me disembark with a blessed disembarking, and You are the best of those who cause to disembark." (Al-Quran, Sura Al-Mu’minun, 23: 29)

Dua Upon Returning Home After Successful Travel

Upon your return home from a voyage, it is important to recite verses that show your profound gratitude to Allah Almighty for the opportunity to travel. It is as important as any dua for travelling in Arabic during the journey itself. Here's what you should pray: “We return, repentant, worshipping, prostrating, and praising our Lord.” It is also said, the Prophet (PBUH) recited "Allaahu Akbar" (Allah is the greatest) three times after every time he returned home from Hajj or a battle.

Special List of Duas for Umrah

What do you say when someone is going for Umrah ? Besides wishing them success, peace, and health on their pilgrimage, you can say duas for Umrah, showing your care and faith. Note that the dua for Umrah niyat you make is different from leaving for Umrah messages for your loved ones back at home. You can make dua for Umrah in Arabic, or choose to recite dua for Umrah in English.

The following is a brief step by step Umrah dua guide, featuring important dua for Umrah for someone else, and even for yourself.

Dua before Umrah Journey:

“Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest. How perfect is the One Who has given us control over this; we could not have done it by ourselves.

O Allah, make this journey easy for us and let us cover its distance swiftly. O Allah, You are our Companion on the journey and the One in Whose care we leave our family.

Dua For Safar (Supplication For The Travelling)

Posted by Ahmed Abdulla | Duas

What does Safar mean?

Safar (سفر) is an Arabic term which refers to travelling, going on a journey, or transportation. It is also the second Islamic month of the lunar calendar and the month where Muslims used to vacate their homes to gather food.

According to hadith and the sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ) there are a number of duas one can recite for safar / travelling / going on a journey and we will cover them all in this one article. Theses can be used for any method of transport whether by airplane, car, or boat.

Supplication For Travelling

In short, this hadith teaches to say the following:

(Bismillah) [three times]
Alhamdulillah
Subhan Alladhi Sakh-khara Lana Hadha Wa Ma Kunna Lahu Muqrinin. Wa Inna Ila Rabbina Lamunqalibun (Also referenced in Surah Zukhruf ayat 13-14)
Alhamdulillah and Allahuakbar [three times]
Subhanaka Inni Qad Zalamtu Nafsi Faghfirli Fa-Innahu La Yaghfirudh-Dhunuba Illa Ant

The Full hadith is given below from Jami At-Tirmidhi, Vol. 6, Book of Supplications, Hadith 3446 Ali bin Rabi’ah said:

“I witnessed Ali having an animal brought to him to ride. When he placed his foot in the stirrup he said: ‘In the Name of Allah,’ (Bismillah) [three times]. So then, once he had ascended upon its back, he said: ‘All praise is due to Allah.’ (Al-Hamdulillah) then he said: Glory is to Him Who has subjected this to us, and we were not able to do it. And, surely, to our Lord are we returning (Subhan Alladhi Sakh-khara Lana Hadha Wa Ma Kunna Lahu Muqrinin. Wa Inna Ila Rabbina Lamunqalibun). Then he said: ‘All praise is due to Allah (Al-Hamdulillah)’ – three times – and ‘Allah is the Greatest (Allahu Akbar)’ – three times – ‘Glory is to You, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for indeed none forgives sins except You (Subhanaka Inni Qad Zalamtu Nafsi Faghfirli Fa-Innahu La Yaghfirudh-Dhunuba Illa Ant).’ Then he laughed. So I said: ‘O Commander of the Believer! What caused you to laugh?’ He said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah do as I did, then he ﷺ laughed, so I said, ‘What cause you to laugh?’ He said: ‘Indeed, your Lord if very pleased with His worshipper when he says: “O my Lord, forgive me my sins, indeed, no one other than You forgives sins.”

Invocation For Traveler

Transliteration: Bismiallahi wa alhamdu liallahi. Subhanaalladhi sakh-khara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin. Wa inna ila Rabbi-na la munqalibun.

Translation: In the name of Allah, and Praise be to Allah. Glory be to the one who has placed this (transport) at our service and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord we will surely return.

Dua Upon Reaching Destination

Transliteration: Allhum rab alsamawat alsbʿ wama aẓlun wa-rab alarḍyn alsbʿ wama aqlun warab alshayaṭyn wama aḍlun warab alryaḥ wama duhryn finna nasalak khayr hudh alqarya wkhyr ahlha wanʿwdh baka mn shrha washr ahlha washr ma fyha.

Translation: “O Allah, You are the Lord of the seven skies and all the things that are under these skies and the seven planets and whatever is over these and of Satan who misled and all those misled by him and for the wind and all that it blows. Thus we seek the good of this town and the good of its members (people) and seek refuge from its evil and the evil of its members and from the evils of whatever is in it”. (Hisnul Hasin from Ibn Habban)

Another Dua:

أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق

A’udhu bikalimat-illahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaqa

Khaulah bint Hakim (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, “Whosoever alights somewhere and says: ‘A’udhu bikalimat-illahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaqa (I seek refuge with the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created),’ nothing will harm him until he leaves that place.” [Muslim] Riyad As Salihin. Arabic/English book reference : Book 8, Hadith 982

Other Hadiths About Safar and Safe Journey

The duas for safar covered this far are the most well known or common duas for journey. The rest of the article will focus on advice from Prophet Muhammad ( ﷺ ) regarding a safe travel and other Islamic traditions.

It’s Better To Travel With Others:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Were people to know of what I know about the dangers of travelling alone, no rider would travel alone at night.”. In another narration, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “A single rider is (accompanied with) Satan and two riders are (accompanied with) two Satans. Three riders form a group.” 1

This was more applicable and good advice back during the Prophet’s time as travelling was far more treacherous at night especially if going alone. Today travelling at night is safer but you will not be as alert as you would when you first wake. Going on safar with group you’ll be less likely to make mistakes or be taken advantage of.

When Ascending To Heights (Going on Plane)

Ibn ‘Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) and his army ascended a height, they would proclaim: “Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest),” and when they climbed down, they would proclaim: “Subhan Allah (Allah is free from imperfection).” 2

Shortened Prayer While Vacationing:

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) once stayed for nineteen days and prayed shortened prayers. So when we travel led (and stayed) for nineteen days, we used to shorten the prayer but if we traveled (and stayed) for a longer period we used to offer the full prayer. 3

There is no Dua.

بِسْمِ اللهِ ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاّ بِاللهِ

الَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ، أّوْ أُضَلَّ، أَوْ أَزِلَّ، أَوْ أُزَلَّ، أَوْ أَظْلِمَ، أَوْ أُظْلَمَ، أَوْ أَجْهَلَ، أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ

In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is neither might nor power except with Allah.

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from leading others astray, causing others to slip or being caused to slip by others, doing wrong or being wronged by others, or behaving foolishly or being treated foolishly by others.

.اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصّالِحَاتُ (i) .اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَلٰى كُلِّ حَالٍ (ii)

Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, yuhyee wa yumeetu, wa Huwa hayyun laa yamootu, biyadihil-khayru, wa Huwa 'alaa kulli shay'in Qadeer.

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He brings life and He causes death, and He is living and does not die. In His Hand is all good, and He is Able to do all things.

.رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ، وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّـوَّابُ الْغَفُوْرُ

Place in my soul light. Magnify for me light, and amplify for me light. Make for me light and make me a light.

بِسْـمِ اللهِ وَلَجْنـاَ، وَبِسْـمِ اللهِ خَـرَجْنـَا، وَعَلـَى رَبِّنـَا تَوَكَّلْـنَا

In the name of Allah we enter and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon our Lord we place our trust.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ ارْضِنِي بِهِ

O Allah! Behold I ask You the good through Your Knowledge, and ability through Your Power, and beg (Your favor) out of Your infinite Bounty. For surely You have Power; I have none. You know all; I know not. You are the Great Knower of all things. O Allah! If in Your Knowledge this matter be good for my faith (Deen), for my livelihood, and for the consequences of my affairs, then ordain it for me, and make it easy for me, and bless me therein. But if in Your Knowledge, this matter be bad for my faith (Deen), for my livelihood, and for the consequences of my affairs, then turn it away from me, and turn me away there from, and ordain for me the good wherever it be, and cause me to be pleased therewith.

With you , those who are fasting have broken their fast, you have fed those who are righteous , and the angels recite their prayers upon you.

May Allah reward you with good.

Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, How perfect He is, The One Who has placed this (transport) at our service, and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny. O Allah, we ask You for birr and taqwaa in this journey of ours, and we ask You for deeds which please You. O Allah, facilitate our journey and let us cover its distance quickly. O Allah, You are The Companion on the journey and The Successor over the family, O Allah, I take refuge with You from the difficulties of travel, from having a change of hearts and being in a bad predicament, and I take refuge in You from an ill fated outcome with wealth and family.

…upon returning the same supplication is recited with the following addition:

In the name of Allah and all praise if for Allah. How perfect He is, the One Who has placed this (Transport) at our service and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord if our final destiny. All praise is for Allah, All praise if for Allah, All praise if for Allah. Allah is the greatest. How perfect You are, O Allah, verily I have wronged my soul, so forgive me, for surely none can forgive sins except You.

أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ دِينَكَ وَأَمَاَنتَكَ ، وَخَوَاتِيْمَ عَمَلِكَ

زَوَّدَكَ اللهُ التَّقْوَى ، وَغَفَرَ ذَنبَكَ وَيَسَّرَ لَكَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُماَ كُنْتَ

I place your religion, your faithfulness and the ends of your deeds in the trust of Allah.

How to Recite Traveling Dua?

Performing a Dua, or prayer, in Islam doesn’t need any special preparations like wudu (ablution), usually done before prayers. However, as a Muslim, it is better to always remain neat and clean, including when you’re travelling.

Starting your journey? It’s an ideal time to offer your Dua for travelling . There is a set pattern for offering a Dua in Islam. It includes:

Start with the name of Allah (S.W.T.)
Recite the specific dua for that particular need
End with durud (sending peace and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)

Remember, you can always recite the travelling dua straightaway if you prefer. This isn’t a strict rule, just a way to make your journey more blessed.

1. Dua for specific modes of transport

The most popular dua for travelling is in Surah Az-Zukhruf, verse 13 and verse 14 . This dua specifically deals with the mode of transport, requesting Allah’s help for safe travel.

Translation:

“Glory be to the One Who has subjected these for us, for we could have never done so ˹on our own And surely to our Lord we will ˹all˺ return.”

2. Dua to Recite When Heading Out to a New City

Another very popular dua about safe travelling is from Quran’s Surah Al-Isra, verse 80 . This dua is specific for leaving for another city .

And say, “My Lord! Grant me an honourable entrance and an honourable exit and give me a supporting authority from Yourself.”

3. Duaa to Recite When Stepping Out of Your Home

Another dua for travelling is from a Hadith, quoted by Al-Tirmazi. This dua is for leaving the house before travelling .

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Whoever says (upon leaving his house): ‘Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah [I begin with the Name of Allah; I trust in Allah; there is no altering of conditions but by the Power of Allah],’ it will be said to him: ‘You are guided, defended and protected.’ The devil will go far away from him.”

4. Dua to Recite Throughout the Journey and Upon Returning Home

Another dua from Hadith is quoted in the famous book of Hadith, “Sahi Al-Muslim .” It is recommended as a prayer during travelling and can be recited at any time during the journey . You can also recite this dua be recited again when you return from the journey .

“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.”

5. Dua to recite when you reach your destination

When you reach your destination place and enter the temporary accommodation at that place, a dua for this particular time is quoted in “ Sahi Al-Muslim ” at serial number 2708a .

Khaula bint Hakim Sulamiyya reported:

“I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When anyone lands at a place, and then says:” I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He has created,” nothing would harm him until he marches from that stopping place.”

6. Dua to recite when you face trouble during travelling

If you face any difficulties or problems during travelling, a specific dua is quoted in Hadith book 9, Hadith 112

“He reported God’s messenger as saying, “If anyone continually asks pardon, God will appoint for him a way out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide for him from where he did not reckon.” Ahmad, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah transmitted it.”

7. Dua to recite when you return home safely

After a happy journey, recite this dua when you return home safely , quoted Sahi Muslim at serial number 217 .

“From every elevated point say Allāhu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great) three times and then recite: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. We return repentant to our Lord, worshipping our Lord, and praising our Lord. He fulfilled His Promise, He aided His slave, and He alone defeated the Confederates.”

One of the best things about Islam is that we have dua almost everything. From eating, sitting, sleeping, and even traveling. There can be many benefits for us to reciting duas.

Benefits Of Dua For Travelling

Whenever a Muslim travels or steps out of the home for a journey, whether it is a short distance or long distance traveling, we recite some duas. So we can have a safe journey and receive the blessings of Almighty Allah.

If a person recites dua for traveling, then the Angels protect you while you get back home.
Reciting dua when traveling can save an individual from incidents that one has never imagined.
By reciting dua, a person is more likely to perform good deeds and have a positive day ahead.
Allah grants the traveler ease in his journey.
Reciting duas leads to blessings from Allah.

Hundreds of thousands of people usually die because of traffic accidents in bikes, cars, planes, etc., all across the world, so traveling can be quite fatal. As we grew up, we heard about a lot of plane crashes and other dangerous events. So we need to seek help from Allah to stay protected and safe, and he is the only one who can protect us from dangerous hazards and accidents.

We must also try our best to minimize our traveling unless it is necessary or urgent as Muslims. We need to recite duas more often so we can stay blessed and safe from the curse of shaitan at the same time.

Dua When Travelling By Plane In English

O Allah, I seek rufuge in You from the hardships of the journey, and against deviation after guidance, and against the supplication of the oppressed, and occurrences of unpleasant events in the family and property.

The Second : Dua When Travelling By Plane In Arabic

اللّهُـمَّ إِنّـي أَعـوذُبِكَ مِنْ وَعْـثاءِ السَّـفَر، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْـظَر، وَسوءِ الْمُنْـقَلَبِ في المـالِ وَالأَهْـل.

Transliteration

Allahumma inni audhu bika min watha’is-safari, wa kaabatil- munqalabi, wal-hauri ba’dal-kauni, wa da’watil-mazlumi, wa suil-manzarifil-ahli wal-mal.

Benefits Of Dua When Travelling By Plane

The supplication is able to change the destiny, so you should supplicate to Allah in all circumstances and situations.

The supplications for travel and transportation, whether by plane or any other means, are considered a fortress and a shield of safety for the servant during his journey.

It works to protect and preserve it and relieve the suffering and fatigue of traveling on its way to its arrival.

The dua for travelling in plane are also among the important things that the traveler must memorize by heart.

The dua of travel has a great merit, as it humiliates the servant.

You should supplicate to your Rabb, and ask Him to protect and prevent you from the evil of the road.

And it will make your journey not difficult, so you must pray to him with all your senses.

You also have complete certainty in the ability of the Almighty God to protect him from any evil so that he can reach the place he is traveling to.

When a person travels by plane, he feels a bit fearful and anxious.

If you find yourself only repeating the supplications related to travel, so your anxiety and fear subside, as you surrender your affair to the Lord of the worlds.

It is desirable for the traveler by plane to supplicate the supplication for travel mentioned by the Messenger of Allah SAW.

The supplication of traveler either by plane or car is answered by Allah, and it is recommended to supplicate a lot for yourself, to make your journey easier, to relieve your distress, to provide you with useful knowledge and good sustenance.

And there is no doubt that travel for the sake of obedience and closeness to Allah is more deserving of the answer than mere permissible travel.

This is due to the fact that obedience to Allah is one of reasons for the supplication to be answered.

However, the hadiths indicate the generality of travel, whether it is for obedience or just permissible matters, is one of the reasons for the supplication to be answered.

The passenger on the plane must be keen on the dua for travel, then he must first: take the initiative to repent from all sins and disobedience, and depart from people’s grievances.

The author of riyadus Saliheen, may Allah shower blessings on him, restricted the supplication to when one mounts a ride to begin a journey.

However, the apparent meaning of the noble verse suggests that it is general.

That is, whenever a person mounts a beast, car or ship to travel or otherwise, he should say what Allah, Honored and Glorious, has mentioned.

Hadith On Dua For Travelling

It is mentioned in the hadith of Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that whenever the Prophet SAW mounted his beast to set out on a journey, he would recite some words of remembrance.

Ibn Umar reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah SAW mounted his camel for setting out on a journey, he would recite: Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest),” thrice.

Then he SAW would supplicate:

Subhanal-ladhi sakh-khara lana hadha, wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila Rabbina lamunqalibun. Allahumma inna nasalukafi safarina hadh al-birra wat-taqwa, wa minal-dmali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin ‘alaina safarana hadha, watwi ‘anna budahu. Allahumma Antas-Sahibufissafari, wal-Khalifatu fd-ahli. Allahumma inni audhu bika min wata’is- safari, wa kaabatil-manzari, wa suil-munqalabi fil-mali wal- ahli wal-waladi.

Far removed from imperfection is the One Who has made this subservient to us, for we have no power to subjugate it, and certainly to our Rubb shall we return.
O Allah, we ask You during this journey of ours for righteousness, piety and such deeds as are pleasing to You.
O Allah, make easy for us this journey of ours and make the distance short for us.
O Allah, You are our Companion during the journey and the Guardian of the family and the property in our absence.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travelling, unhappiness connected with ghastly scenes and evil turns in property and family).”

When he returned, he recited this supplication making addition of these words:

Ayibuna, ta’ibuna, ‘abiduna, li-Rabbina hamidun (We are those who return; those who repent; those who worship and those who praise our Rubb ).”

[Muslim 1342]

Abdullah bin Sarjis reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah SAW proceeded on a journey, he would seek refuge in Allah from the hardships of the journey, and against deviation after guidance, and against the supplication of the oppressed, and occurrences of unpleasant events in the family and property.

[Muslim 1343]

This hadeeth are related to words of remembrance when a person mounts his ride to begin a journey.

Also, a person should seek refuge from the hardships of travelling, unhappiness connected with ghastly scenes and evil turns in property and family.

He should also seek refuge from the supplication of the oppressed, ask Allah for forgiveness and mercy, praise Allah (by saying:

Alhamdulillah [Praise be to Allah]) thrice and magnify Allah (by saying Allah Akbar [Allah is the Greatest]) thrice.

To make this remembrance in the exact wordings narrated from the Prophet It is best and preferred.

Otherwise, one may supplicate with any easy words if it is impossible to remember the exact wordings.

Desirability Of Supplications During The Journey Hadith

Abu Hurairah reported: The Messenger of Allah SAW said,

Three supplications are answered without doubt.

The supplication of the oppressed
The supplication of the traveller, and
The supplication of the parent for his son.”

[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]

The traveler is detached from his homeland, and he remains a traveler till he returns to it (i.e. his homeland).

The supplication of a traveler usually is that of one in need.

Whenever a person is in need and supplicates to his Lord, his prayer will most likely be answered.

This is because Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, responds to the supplication of the one in difficult situation and the supplication of the one in need more than the supplications of others.

The hadeeth of the three supplications which are answered without doubt:

The supplication of the oppressed.

The supplication of the traveler.

The supplication of a parent.

Whenever he supplicates to Allah to ease his journey or any other supplication, Allah, the most High, responds to his request.

Thus, it is necessary to always seize the opportunity of supplicating on journeys.

When the journey is in obedience to Allah such as Umrah and Hajj, then the possibility and strength of response increases.

May Allah grant us success.

In addition to being required to pray three times daily (normally five, but exceptions are made when traveling), Allah also requires Muslims to begin other prayers, or duas, to keep them safe as soon as they leave their cities or towns and begin their travels. Whether before or during their travels—and whether by airplane, car, boat or other transportation—Muslims ask Allah to protect them on their journeys and get them back home safely to their families.

Invocation for Traveling

Allaahu 'Akbar, Allaahu 'Akbar, Allaahu 'Akbar, Subhaanal-lathee sakhkhara lanaa haathaa wa maa kunnaa lahu muqrineen. Wa 'innaa 'ilaa Rabbinaa lamunqaliboon.

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.

Prayer for the Trip

Traveling is ubiquitous in our lives. From day to day work commutes to going on a trip or vacation with our family or friends, we are constantly traveling. And we thank God that traveling has also been made easy. We can turn to many modes of transportation to bring us to our desired destinations. However, traveling still remains a stressful activity. We worry about safety, the sudden change in weather, missed flights, or lost luggage. The list of what can go wrong while traveling is endless and daunting. How and what can we do to deal when such a situation arises? We can turn to our God and say a quick prayer for safe travel.

Biblical characters like Noah ( Genesis 7:1-24 ), Abraham ( Genesis 12:1-20 , Genesis 13:1-18 ), and Moses ( Exodus 4:18-31 ) have also embarked on several epic journeys. They would have fervently prayed for a safe journey and blessings. Similarly, we should also pray each time we go on a trip. I personally believe that prayer for safe travel is a powerful thing to do before any trip. By praying, we are inviting God and trusting Him that He will get us to our destination, safe and sound. Here are some short prayers for travel that we can pray before traveling.

1. A Short Prayer for Safe Travel

Here is a short prayer for safe travel that you can say right before your trip.

Lord, I know that You watch my coming and going. Today, I pray for You to watch over me as I travel. Keep me safe in Your loving arms. Let no harm come upon me during my trip and cover me under Your mighty wings. As I step out and start on my journey, I will choose to trust you and not give in to fear. Help me get to my destination and get home safely. Help me to experience Your greatness and love during this trip so that I may draw even closer to You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

Please sustain my strength during the long trip and bless me with steady hands. Grant in me patience and courtesy to the other drivers on the road, just as how You grant them with patience as well. May this be a smooth journey and no accidents will occur.

Main Du’a for Travelling

After you have boarded your means of transport, whether it is a car, bus or plane, recite the du’a below. Abdullah ibn Umar I reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would straighten up on his camel when setting out on a journey he said:

اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ ❁ اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ ❁ اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ‎ ❁ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ ❁ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى ❁ وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا ❁ وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ وَسُوْءِ الْمُنْقَلِبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ

Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar. Subḥāna lladhī sakhkhara lanā hadhā wa mā kunnā lahu muqrinīn, wa innā ila rabbinā la munqalibūn. Allāhumma innā nas’aluka fī safarinā hadha l-birra wa t-taqwā, wa mina l-ʿamali mā tarḍa. Allāhumma hawwin ʿalaynā safaranā hādhā, wa-ṭwi ʿannā buʿdah. Allāhumma anta ṣ-ṣāḥibu fi s-safari wa l-khalīfatu fi l-ahl. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bikā min waʿthā’i s-safari wa ka’ābati l-manẓari wa sū’i l-munqalibi fi l-māli wa l-ahl.

Second Du’a for Travelling

Abdullah ibn Sarjis I reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on journey he would say:

اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ ❁ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلِبِ ❁ وَ مِنْ الْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْنِ ❁ وَ مِنْ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلومَ ❁ وَ مِنْ سُوْءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِا وَ الْمَالِ

Allāhumma anta s-sāhibu fi s-safar, wa l-khalīfatu fi l-ahl. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min waʿthā’i s-safar, wa ka’ābati-l-munqalab, wa mina l-hawri baʿda l-kawn, wa min daʿwati l-mazlūma, wa min sū’i l-manẓari fi l-ahli wa l-māl.

Third Du’a for Travelling

Husayn ibn Ali I reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed the recitation of the following Quranic verse when boarding transport:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسَاهَا، إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Bismi Llāhi majrāhā wa mursāhā, inna rabbī la-ghafūrur-raḥīm.

When Ascending or Descending

There are two supplications that can be recited when ascending or descending.

Ibn Umar I reported that when the Prophet ﷺ returned from Hajj, Umrah or a military expedition, whenever he climbed a hill or hillock he said takbīr thrice, followed by:

لَآ إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ❁ لَهُ المُلْكُ ولَهُ الْحَمْدُ ❁ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ❁ آئِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ ساجِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُون ❁ صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ وَعْدهُ ❁ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ ❁ وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وحْدَهُ

Lā ilāha illa Llāhu wahdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu l-mulk, wa lahu l-ḥamd, wa Huwa ʿalā kulli shay’in qadīr. Ā’ibūnā tā’ibūna, ʿābidūna sājidūna li-rabbinā ḥāmidūn. Ṣadaqa Llāhu waʿdah, wa naṣara ʿabdah, wa hazama l-aḥzāba waḥdah.

Anas I narrated that when the Prophet ﷺ ascended to a high place in the land he would say:

اللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الشَّرَفُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ ❁ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ

Allāhumma laka sh-sharafu ʿalā kulli sharafin, wa laka l-ḥamdu ʿalā kulli ḥāl.

Disembarking from Transport

After you have disembarked from your means of transport, recite this du’a:

رَبِّ أَنْزِلْنِي مُنْزَلًا مُبَارَكًا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ

Rabbi anzilnī munzalān mubārakān wa anta khayru l-munzilīn.

Approaching a Town

Upon approaching a town or city during your journey, recite the following du’a. Suhayb I related that the Prophet ﷺ did not see any village he was about to enter without saying:

اَللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ ❁ وَالْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ ❁ وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ وَمَا أَضْلَلْنَ ❁ وَرَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَمَا ذَرَيْنَ ❁ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ وَخَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا ❁ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا

Allāhumma Rabba s-samāwāti s-sabʿi wa mā aẓlalna, wa l-ardīna s-sabʿi wa mā aqlalna, wa rabba sh-shayāṭīni wa mā aḍlalna, wa Rabba r-riyāḥi wa mā dharayn. As’aluka khayra hādhihi l-qaryati wa khayra ahlihā, wa naʿūdhu bika min sharrihā wa sharri ahlihā wa sharri mā fīhā.

Aisha J said that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked upon a region he was about to enter he would say:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ هَذِهِ وَخَيْرِ مَا جَمِعْتَ فِيهَا ❁ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَمِعْتَ فِيهَا ❁ اَللَّهُمَّ ارْزِقْنَا حَيَاهَا ❁ وَأَعِذْنَا مِنْ وَبَاهَا ❁ وَحَبِّبْنَا إِلَى أَهْلِهَا ❁ وَحَبِّبْ صَالِحِي أَهْلِهَا إِلَيْنَا

Allāhumma innī as’aluka min khayri hādhihi wa khayri mā jamiʿta fīhā, wa aʿūdhu bikā min sharrihā wa sharri mā jamiʿtu fīhā. Allāhumma-rzuqnā ḥayāhā, wa aʿidhnā min wabāhā, wa ḥabbibnā ilā ahlihā, wa ḥabbib ṣāliḥī ahlihā ilaynā.

Stopping for the Night

If you stop at night during your journey, recite the following du’a. Khawlah bint Hakim J reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Whoever dismounts at a place and says the following, nothing will harm him until he sets off again from that place.’

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

Aʿūdhu bi-kalimāti Llāhi t-tāmmāti min sharri mā khalaq.

Umar ibn al-Khattab I reported that when the Prophet of Allah ﷺ was travelling, as night was approaching he would say:

يَا أَرْضُ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكِ اللهُ ❁ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّكِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيكِ ❁ وَشَرِّ مَا خُلِقَ فِيكِ ❁ وَشَرِّ مَا يَدُبَّ عَلَيْكِ ❁ أَعُوذُ باللهِ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَأَسْوَدَ ❁ وَمِنَ الْحَيَّةِ وَالْعَقْرَبِ ❁ وَمِنْ سَاكِنِ الْبَلَدِ وَمِنْ والِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ

Yā arḍu rabbī wa Rabbuki Llāh. A‘ūdhu bi Llāhi min sharriki wa sharri mā fīk, wa sharri mā khuliqa fīk, wa sharri mā yadubba ʿalayk. Aʿūdhu bi Llāhi min asadin wa aswad, wa min al-ḥayyati wa l-ʿaqrab, wa min sākini l-balad, wa min wālidin wa mā walad.

Returning Home

Upon returning home after your journey, recite the following.

آئِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّناَ حَامِدُونَ

Ȧ’ibūna tā’ibūna ‘ābidūn, li-rabbinā ḥamidūn.

Anas I narrated: “We returned with the Prophet ﷺ, Abū Talhah and I, and Safiyyah was riding behind him on his she-camel. When we were close to Madinah he said: ‘Returning, repenting, worshipping, praising our Lord.’ He continued to say that until we reached Madinah.”

Ibn Abbas I related that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from a journey and went to his family, he would say:

تَوْباً تَوْباً ❁ لِرَبِّنَا أَوْباً ❁ لاَ يُغَادِرُ حَوْباً

Tawban tawbā, li-rabbinā awbā, lā yughādiru ḥawbā.

Travis Kelce Touches Down in Atlanta in All-Black, Reputation -Coded Travel Outfit Ahead of Chiefs-Falcons Game

The tight end's ensemble is reminiscent of the album that his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, released in 2017

David Eulitt/Getty

Travis Kelce is back in black.

On Saturday, Sept. 21, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, landed in Atlanta in style, ahead of the team's Sunday Night Football game against the Falcons. Travis sported a sleek, all-black travel look, accessorized with silver chains and a watch, as seen in a video shared on the Chiefs' official Instagram account.

He also rocked a vintage 1998 Zeus & Miles baseball cap that read, "HE GOT GAME," which pays homage to Spike Lee 's movie of the same name.

Travis finished his outfit with sunglasses and a pair of black leather backless shoes. Some fans theorized in the comments that his styling was Reputation -coded , referring to his girlfriend Taylor Swift 's 2017 album.

The instrumental version of d.higg's song "Proud" played in the background of the Instagram clip, which captured Travis walking down the airplane's stairs onto the tarmac, with his luggage in hand. "@killatrav means business," read the post's caption.

The Chiefs have been 2-0 so far this NFL season, beating the Baltimore Ravens in their home opener on Sept. 5, and then narrowly beating the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 15. Despite the Chiefs' hot start to the season, Travis has yet to score a touchdown.

He got candid about his performance so far this season during the Sept. 18 episode of New Heights , the podcast he hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles alum Jason Kelce .

"I used to get really, really pissed off and almost lose my cool," Travis said about past games where he would become frustrated.

Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty

"I just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that it's just tough for me to deal with being mediocre or having stats that represent that," he added.

Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.

The tight end has made four catches for 39 yards in the Chiefs' first two games, but he is not letting those stats get to him.

"It's just for whatever reason, these past two games, it hasn't gone that way for me, and that's football, man. I'm not about to sit here and get frustrated about it," he added on the podcast.

During the first two games, Swift, 34, was on hand to cheer on her boyfriend. She spent the season opener in a suite with Travis' parents, Donna and Ed . She also brought her mom, Andrea , to the game on Sept. 15.
