Supplications for travel

بِسْـمِ اللهِ وَالْحَمْـدُ لله، سُـبْحانَ الّذي سَخَّـرَ لَنا هذا وَما كُنّا لَهُ مُقْـرِنين، وَإِنّا إِلى رَبِّنا لَمُنـقَلِبون، الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، سُـبْحانَكَ اللّهُـمَّ إِنّي ظَلَـمْتُ نَفْسي فَاغْـفِرْ لي، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِـرُ الذُّنوبَ إِلاّ أَنْـت

Bismi l-lâhi. Al hamdu li-l-lâhi. Subhâna l-ladhî sakhkhara lanâ hâdhâ wa mâ kunnâ lahu muqrinîn, wa innâ ilâ rabbinâ la-munqalibûn. Al hamdu li-l-lâhi, al hamdu li-l-lâhi, al hamdu li-l-lâhi. Allâhu akbaru, Allâhu akbaru, Allâhu akbaru. Subhânaka l-lâhumma innî zalamtu nafsî, fa-ghfir lî, fa-innahu lâ yaghfiru dh-dhunûba illâ ant.

In the name of Allah and all praise is for Allah. How perfect He is, the One Who has placed this (transport) at our service and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny. All praise is for Allah, All praise is for Allah, All praise is for Allah, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. How perfect You are, O Allah, verily I have wronged my soul, so forgive me, for surely none can forgive sins except You.

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفْرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى ، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى ، اللَّهُمَّ هَوَّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفْرِنَا هَذَا وَاطْوَعَّنَّا بَعْدهُ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ وَسُوءِ المُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالأَهْلِ + آيِبُونَ تَائْبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ

Allâhu akbaru, Allâhu akbaru, Allâhu akbaru. Subhâna l-ladhî sakhkhara lanâ hâdhâ wa mâ kunnâ lahu muqrinîn, wa innâ ilâ rabbinâ la-munqalibûn. Allâhumma innâ nas-aluka fî safarinâ hâdhâ al-birra wa t-taqwâ wa mina-l-`amali mâ tardâ. Allâhumma hawwin `alayna safaranâ hâdhâ wa twi `annâ bu`dahu. Allâhumma anta s-sâhibu fî s-safari, wa-l-khalîfatu fî-l-ahli. Allâhumma innî a`ûdhu bika min wa`thâ'i s-safari wa ka'âbati-l-manzari, wa sû'i-l-munqalabi fî-lmâli wa-l-ahli.
Au retour, répéter l'invocation et ajouter :
Âyibûn, tâ'ibûn, `âbidûn, li-rabbinâ hâmidûn.

Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. Glory to the One who has placed this at our service, for we could not have done so by ourselves, and to our Lord we shall return (surah Az-Zukhruf, verses 13-14). O Allah, we ask You for righteousness and piety on this journey, and for deeds that please You. O Allah, ease this journey for us and shorten its distance. O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey and the Guardian of the family left behind. O Allah, I seek Your protection from the hardships of travel, from a distressing sight, and from any misfortune affecting our property or family upon our return.

أللّـهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّـمواتِ السّـبْعِ وَما أَظْلَلَـن، وَرَبَّ الأَراضيـنَ السّـبْعِ وَما أقْلَلْـن، وَرَبَّ الشَّيـاطينِ وَما أَضْلَلْـن، وَرَبَّ الرِّياحِ وَما ذَرَيْـن، أَسْـأَلُـكَ خَيْـرَ هذهِ الْقَـرْيَةِ وَخَيْـرَ أَهْلِـها، وَخَيْـرَ ما فيها، وَأَعـوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَـرِّها وَشَـرِّ أَهْلِـها، وَشَـرِّ ما فيها

Allâhumma rabba s-samâwâti s-sab`i wa mâ zzlalna, wa rabba-l-aradîna s-sab`i wa mâ aqlalna, wa rabba sh-shayâtîni wa mâ adlalna, wa rabba r-riyâhi wa mâ dharayna. As'alukakhayra hâdhihi-l-qaryati wa khayra ahlihâ wa khayra mâ fîhâ, wa a`ûdhu bika min sharrihâ wa sharri ahlihâ wa sharri mâ fîhâ.

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all that they envelop, Lord of the seven earths and all that they carry, Lord of the devils and all whom they misguide, Lord of the winds and all whom they whisk away. I ask You for the goodness of this village, the goodness of its inhabitants and for all the goodness found within it and I take refuge with You from the evil of this village, the evil of its inhabitants and from all the evil found within it.

أَعـوذُ بِكَلِـماتِ اللّهِ التّـامّاتِ مِنْ شَـرِّ ما خَلَـق

A`ûdhu bi-kalimâti l-lâhi t-tâmmâti min sharri mâ khalaq.

I take refuge in Allah’s perfect words from the evil that He has created.

ا للهُ أَكْـبَر، ا للهُ أَكْـبَر، ا للهُ أَكْـبَر]] لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَحْـدَهُ لا شريكَ لهُ، لهُ الملكُ ولهُ الحَمْد، وهُوَ على كُلّ شَيءٍ قَـدير، آيِبـونَ تائِبـونَ عابِـدونَ لِرَبِّـنا حـامِـدون، صَدَقَ اللهُ وَعْـدَه، وَنَصَـرَ عَبْـدَه، وَهَزَمَ الأَحْـزابَ وَحْـدَه

Chaque fois que l'on atteint un point élevé : Allâhu akbar (trois fois).
Dire ensuite : Lâ ilâha illâ l-lâhu, wahdahu lâ sharîka lahu, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-hamdu, wa huwa `alâ kulli shay'in qadîrun. Âyibûna, tâ'ibûna, `âbidûna, li-rabbinâ hâmidûn.
Sadaqa l-lâhu wa`dahu, wa nasara `abdahu wa hazama-l-ahzâba wahdahu.

Allah is the greatest (three times, at every rise in the road). There is no god but Allah alone, without partner; to Him belongs sovereignty and praise, and He is capable of all things. We return repentant, worshipping our Lord and praising Him. Allah fulfilled His promise, aided His servant, and single-handedly defeated the confederates.
