Supplications for traveling
أَسۡتَوۡدِعُ
اللّٰهَ دِيۡنَكُمۡ وَأَمَانَتَكُمۡ وَخَوَاتِيۡمَ
I place every one of your religion, your
faithfulness and the ends of your deeds in the trust of Allah.
زَوَّدَكَ اللّٰهُ التَّقۡوٰى وَغَفَرَ ذَنۡبَكَ وَيَسَّرَ لَكَ الۡخَيۡرَ
حَيۡثُمَا كُنۡتَ
May Allah endow you with taqwa (fear
of Allah), forgive your sins and facilitate all good for you wherever you may
be.
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِطۡوِ لَهُ الۡاَرۡضَ وَهَوِّنۡ عَلَيۡهِ السَّفَرَ
O Allah, let his
journey be covered quickly and most easily.
ثَلَاثُ دَعَوَاتٍ يُسۡتَجَابُ لَهُنَّ لَا شَكَّ فِيۡهِنَّ دَعۡوَةُ الۡمَظۡلُوۡمِ
وَ دَعۡوَةُ الۡمُسَافِرِ وَدَعۡوَةُ الۡوَالِدِ لِوَلَدِهِ
The acceptance of three supplications
are certain, the supplication of the one who is wronged, the supplication of a
traveler and the supplication of a father for his child.
أَسۡتَوۡدِعُكَ اللّٰهَ الَّذِيۡ لَا تَضِيۡعُ وَدَائِعُهُ
I
entrust you to Allah whose trust is never misplaced.

actions. When combined together, birr refers to doing those actions which have
been commanded and taqwa refers
to avoiding those actions which have been prohibited.

Allah with such a repentance that leaves me with no sin.
