بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَوْلَجِ وَخَيْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ، رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ، وَاجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطَانًا نَصِيرًا
In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon our Lord we depend. O Allah, I ask You for the best of the entrance and the best of the exit. My Lord, I ask You to make me enter a righteous entrance and to make me exit a righteous exit, and grant me from Yourself a supportive authority.
