اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
O Allah, I ask You from Your grace.
Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik
When to Read
This dua is recited when leaving the masjid after completing the prayer. It's a beautiful way to transition from a state of worship and spiritual connection back into the affairs of this world, asking Allah to bless your efforts and dealings outside the sanctity of His house.
How to Read
Recite this dua after you have finished your prayers and are preparing to exit the masjid. It is recommended to exit with your right foot first, as you would enter with your left.
Virtues & Benefits
This simple yet profound dua connects our worship with our daily lives. By asking for Allah's grace upon leaving, we're essentially seeking His continued guidance and blessings in our endeavors, particularly in maintaining integrity and honesty in our interactions and livelihoods, thereby turning our worldly actions into acts of worship.

Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "When one of you enters my mosque, let him send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) and say: 'Allahumma iftah li abwaba rahmatik (O Allah, open to me the gates of Your mercy).' And when he leaves, let him say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik (O Allah, I ask You from Your grace)' and let him say: 'A'udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajim (I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan)." (Sahih Muslim 1315). While the primary context of this dua is asking for Allah's grace in general upon leaving the mosque, its spirit can be extended to encompass seeking His help in maintaining the high moral standards learned in the mosque, including honesty in dealings, as part of that overarching 'grace'.
