How to Read
Recite this dua 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 we enter with the right.

Virtues & Benefits
This dua is a powerful reminder that even as we leave the house of Allah, we are still in need of His continuous blessings and support in our worldly affairs. By asking 'from Your bounty,' we acknowledge that any success or provision we receive is a gift from Allah. It keeps us connected to His mercy as we re-engage with the dunya, reminding us to seek lawful sustenance and use it in ways that please Him. This practice instills humility and a constant reliance on Allah, even outside the confines of the Masjid.
