โœฆ

O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty.

Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik

When to Read

This dua is recited when exiting the Masjid. It's a moment to transition from the spiritual atmosphere of worship back into our daily lives, asking Allah to sustain us with His blessings and guide our actions and words.

How to Read

As you take your steps out of the Masjid, recite this dua. It's a direct supplication, asking Allah for His continuous grace and favor. The practice is to exit with your right foot first, similar to entering with the left.

Virtues & Benefits

By asking 'from Your bounty' (min fadlik), we acknowledge that all good comes from Allah. This humble request sets a tone for our day, seeking provision and success not through our own might, but through His endless generosity. It's a reminder that even after leaving His house, we remain in need of His guidance and sustenance to navigate the world without falling into negative habits like complaining or ingratitude.

Source & Authentication

Narrated by Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'When any one of you finishes prayer in the Masjid, he should say: Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik. For indeed, there is a bounty (fadl) in the day and in the night.' (Sahih Muslim 1301). While the primary context is often linked to seeking general provision after prayer, the principle extends to our exit from the Masjid, carrying Allah's blessing with us.
