Dua for Leaving the Masjid: Seeking Allah's Guidance to Be a Source of Comfort for the Afflicted

Leaving Masjid
Sahih HadithSahih Muslim 1300

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ

O Allah, I ask of Your bounty.

Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik

When to Read

This dua is recited when leaving the Masjid after praying, particularly the obligatory prayers. It's a beautiful supplication that shifts our focus from the spiritual sanctuary of the mosque back into the world, asking Allah to bless our endeavors outside.

How to Read

Recite this dua immediately after you have finished your prayer and are preparing to exit the Masjid. It is recommended to exit with the left foot first, just as one enters with the right. The dua itself is simple and profound, asking Allah for His grace and provision in the life outside the mosque's walls.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua embodies a key principle of Islamic practice: seeking Allah's help and provision even after fulfilling our obligations. By asking 'I ask of Your bounty,' we acknowledge that all good comes from Allah. It reminds us that our 'work' in the world, including our efforts to comfort the afflicted, is also a form of worship when done with the right intention and reliance on Allah. This supplication opens the doors for Allah's blessings to flow through us in our daily lives and interactions.
