Recite this dua with sincerity and conviction as you step out of the Masjid. It’s a declaration of your complete reliance on Allah, acknowledging that all strength and power come from Him alone.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'When a man goes out of his house and says: 'Bismillahi, tawakkaltu 'alallahi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (In the name of Allah, I rely on Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah), it will be said to him: 'You are guided, you are taken care of, and you are protected.' So the devil will stay away from him, and a devil will say to another devil: 'What can you do to a man who has been guided, taken care of, and protected?'
