اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ.
O Allah, I ask You of Your bounty.
Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik.
When to Read
This dua is recited upon exiting the Masjid after completing prayers or any other visit. It's a beautiful moment to transition from the spiritual atmosphere of the mosque back into our daily lives, asking Allah to bless our endeavors outside its walls.
How to Read
Recite this once with sincerity as you step out of the Masjid. It's recommended to step out with your left foot first. Focus on the meaning: you've just sought Allah's mercy and blessings within His house, and now you're asking for His continued grace to sustain you in the world outside.
Virtues & Benefits
This supplication encapsulates the essence of relying on Allah even after leaving His house of worship. By asking for His bounty, we are acknowledging that all good comes from Him and that our success in worldly affairs, including acting with justice and fairness, is dependent on His favor. It's a reminder that our actions outside the Masjid should be a reflection of the spiritual state we cultivated within.

‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'When one of you performs ablution in his house and then intends to go to one of the mosques, he takes one step and says: 'O Allah, increase me in my shortcomings.' And he takes another step and says: 'O Allah, protect me from the accursed Satan.' Then when he enters the mosque, he says: 'O Allah, the gates of Your mercy are opened for me, so open for me the gates of Your bounty.' And when he leaves, he says: 'O Allah, I ask You of Your bounty.'
