When to Read
This dua is recited upon leaving the Masjid. After completing your prayers and seeking Allah's blessings inside His house, it is recommended to ask for His bounty as you depart, preparing to re-enter the world and its challenges.
How to Read
Recite this dua after you have stepped out of the Masjid. It's a personal supplication, seeking Allah's continuous support and provision as you move from a state of worship to engaging with daily life. You can extend your hands slightly if you wish, though it's not a strict requirement for this particular supplication.
Virtues & Benefits
This simple yet profound dua is a recognition that all provision and success comes from Allah alone. By asking for His grace upon leaving the Masjid, we are essentially seeking His continued blessings and guidance in our efforts outside the Masjid, acknowledging that even our worldly pursuits are enhanced by His favor. It combats the subtle laziness that can creep in when we leave a place of spiritual strength, reminding us to rely on Allah for our needs, both spiritual and material.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When one of you enters the Masjid, let him send blessings upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and say: O Allah, open to me the gates of Your mercy. And when he leaves, let him say: O Allah, I ask You from Your grace.'
