بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَدْخَلِ وَخَيْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَفْتَتِحُ وَبِاسْمِكَ أَنْزِلُ وَعَلَيْكَ أَتَوَكَّلُ. اللَّهُمَّ قَنِّعْنِي بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِي، وَأَخْلِفْ لِي كُلَّ غَائِبَةٍ لِي بِخَيْرٍ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي، وَأَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِهِ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِهَا، وَأَجِرْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ.
In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon Allah, our Lord, we depend. O Allah, I ask You for the best of the entrance and the best of the exit. In the name of Allah I begin, and in Your name I descend, and upon You I depend. O Allah, make me content with what You have provided me, and grant me good in place of all that is absent for me. Bless for me what You have given me, and save me from the Fire, and from the trial of the grave and its torment, and from the trial of this world and its torment, and save me from the accursed Satan.
Bismillahi walajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa 'alallahi Rabbina tawakkalna. Allahumma inni as'aluka khayr al-madkhali wa khayr al-makhraji, bismillahi aftatihu wa bismika anzilu wa 'alaika tawakkalna. Allahumma qanni'ni bima razaqtani, wa akhlif li kulla gha'ibatin li bi khayr, wa barik li fima a'taytani, wa ajirni min an-nari wa min fitnat al-qabri wa 'adhabihi, wa min fitnat ad-dunya wa 'adabiha, wa ajirni min ash-shaytan ar-rajim.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to say: 'In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon Allah, our Lord, we depend. O Allah, I ask You for the best of the entrance and the best of the exit. In the name of Allah I begin, and in Your name I descend, and upon You I depend. O Allah, make me content with what You have provided me, and grant me good in place of all that is absent for me. Bless for me what You have given me, and save me from the Fire, and from the trial of the grave and its torment, and from the trial of this world and its torment, and save me from the accursed Satan.'
