Dua for Leaving the Masjid: Invoking Allah to Grant Us the Best of Companions

Leaving Masjid
Hasan HadithSunan Ibn Majah 771

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ اللَّهُمَّ اعْصِمْنِي مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty. O Allah, protect me from the accursed Satan.

Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik. Allahumma a'simni minash-shaytanir-rajeem.

When to Read

This dua is recommended to be recited upon leaving the Masjid, after completing your prayers or other intentions for visiting the House of Allah. It's a beautiful way to transition from the spiritual atmosphere of the mosque back into your daily life, seeking Allah's continued protection and blessing.

How to Read

Recite this dua after you have finished your activities in the Masjid and are preparing to exit. Stand with your left foot first as you exit, just as you entered with your right foot when entering.

Virtues & Benefits

This supplication embodies a profound reliance on Allah (SWT). By asking for His bounty, we acknowledge that all provision and success come from Him. Seeking protection from Satan upon leaving the sacred space of the Masjid reminds us that our spiritual battle continues in the outside world. It's a comprehensive plea for divine assistance in navigating life's challenges and temptations, ensuring our good deeds within the Masjid aren't undone by external influences.
