بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
In the name of Allah, I rely on Allah. There is no might nor power except with Allah. O Allah, I ask You of Your bounty.
Bismillahi, tawakkaltu 'alallahi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik.
When to Read
This beautiful dua is recited when you are leaving the Masjid, just as you are stepping out of the sacred space. It's a moment to transition from seeking Allah's presence within the mosque to carrying that connection with you into your daily life, asking Him to guide your steps and provide for you.
How to Read
Recite this dua after completing your prayer or any visit to the Masjid, as you prepare to exit. It's best recited as you are in the process of leaving, perhaps as you reach the door or step outside. Saying it with sincerity and reflecting on its meaning enhances its impact.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encapsulates a complete reliance on Allah. By invoking His name, acknowledging His power as the sole source of strength and might ('la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah'), and asking for His bounty ('as'aluka min fadlik'), you are essentially entrusting your affairs to Him as you leave the place of worship. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught this dua to encourage Muslims to seek Allah's provision and protection in all their endeavors, reminding us that true success comes only from Him. It sets a positive intention for your journey ahead, asking Allah to bless your path and grant you from His immense favors.
Source & Authentication
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: When anyone goes out of his house to pray, he should say: > **Arabic:** بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ > **Translation:** 'In the name of Allah, I rely on Allah. There is no might nor power except with Allah.' And it will be said to him: 'You are guided, you are taken care of, and you are defended.' And the devil keeps away from him. Another devil says: 'How can you deal with a man who has been guided, taken care of, and defended?'
