When to Read
This beautiful dua is recited when leaving the Masjid after prayer. It's a moment of transition, moving from the sacred space of worship back into the world, and a perfect time to continue seeking Allah's blessings.
How to Read
Recite this dua as you are exiting the Masjid. It is traditionally recited with the left foot first as you step out, mirroring the etiquette of entering with the right foot. The intention is to carry the barakah (blessings) of the Masjid with you.
Virtues & Benefits
This simple yet profound dua encapsulates a core principle of seeking from Allah alone. It acknowledges that all blessings and provisions come from Him. While this specific wording is for leaving the masjid, the broader theme of asking Allah for His bounty is emphasized throughout the Quran and Sunnah, reminding us of our utter dependence on Him. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to ask Allah for His Grace in all our endeavors, recognizing that worldly and otherworldly success are entirely in His hands.
Source & Authentication
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When any one of you finishes his prayer, let him say: O Allah, I ask You from Your Grace..." (Sahih Muslim 494). While this hadith primarily refers to finishing the prayer, scholars often extend its application to the act of leaving the Masjid, as it signifies the completion of the worship within that sacred space. The broader context is to continue invoking Allah's blessings even after the formal act of worship concludes.
