“O Allah! Protect me and protect what is with me (my possessions), and deliver me (to my destination and delivery what is with me the best of your delivery.  By Allah I commence (my journey) and by Allah I seek to accomplish (the purpose of my journey) and by Muhammad (s.a.w.) I have set out (towards my destination). ‘O’ Allah make me overcome all (my grief); and make easy for me all difficulties; and give me more of goodness than I hope for; and keep away all evil of which I am apprehensive for my health.”  “O the most Merciful”.

للهم احفظني واحفظ ما معي وبلغني وبلغ ما معي ببلاغك الحسن ، بالله أستفتح وبالله أستنجح وبمحمد ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ) أتوجه ، اللهم سهل لي كل حزونة وذلل لي كل صعوبة وأعطني من الخير كله أكثر مما أرجو ، واصرف عني من الشر أكثر مما أحذر في عافية يا أرحم الراحمين

“In the name of Allah and there is no power save with Allah.  Praise be to Allah who made this (the means of transport) subservient to us, and we (by ourselves) could never have accomplished it”.

Bismillahi walaa Quwwata illa Billahi.  Alhamdu lillahil-ladhee sakh-khara lana haadha wama kaunna lahu muqrineen .

“All praise is for Allah Who guided us in Islam and taught us the Quran and graced us with Muhammad (s.a.w.).  Glory be to Allah Who made this (the means of transport) subservient to us, and we (by ourselves) could never have accomplished it.  And surely to our Lord we shall return.  All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.  `O` Allah! You are the Facilitator of the journey and the helper in the affair and you are the Companion in the journey, and the Successor (incharge of my) family, property and son.  `O` Allah! You are my supporter and my Helper to Victory”.

Alhamdu lillahil-ladhee hadaana Lil-Islam wa allamanal –Qu`ran wa manna alayna bi muhammadin sallallhu alayhi wa aalihi.  Subhanal-ladhee sakh-khara lana haadha wama kunna lahu muqrineen, Wa inna illa rabbina lamuqaliboon.  Walhamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen.  Allahumma antal haamilu aladhdhahr walmusta`anu alal-amr.  Wa antas-sahibu fis-sfar wal khaleefatu fil-ahli wal-maali wal-walad.  Allahumma anta adhdee wa naasiree.

“In the name of Allah! The Master! The Truth! They esteemed not Allah with an esteem due to Him.  The whole earth is under His hold on the day of resurrection and the heavens folded at His command.  Glory be to him and the High above! He is beyond the attribution of any partner.  In the name of Allah be its course (sailing)  and its arrival (anchorage).  Verily my Lord is All Forgiving, All Merciful”.

Bismillahil malikil Haq.  Wama qadarullahahaqqa qadarihi wal ardhu jamee`an qabdhatuhu yaumall qiyamati was-sawamatu matwiyyatun biyameenihi subhaanahu wata`ala amma yshrikoon.  Bismillahi majraha wa mursaha inna rabbee laghafoorun Raheemen.

“O’ Allah! I beseech from you its (town, city or village) goodness and seek refuge in you from its wickedness.  ‘O’ Allah! let its inhabitants love us and let us love its virtous inhabitants”.

Allahumma innee as-aluka khairaha wa a`oodhu bika min sharriha.  Allahumma habbibna ilaa ahliha wa habbib saalihi ahliha ilayna.

“O`My Lord! Cause me to disembark a blessed alighting and you are the Best of all who cause to alight”.

Rabbee anzilnee manzilan mubarakan wa anta khairul-munzileen.

“If Allah wills, we repent and seek pardon from Him; we worship Him and Him we bow and prostrate.  Our Lord we praise.  ‘O` Allah! Make this return (journey) of mine a blessed one, a fruitful one, associated with a sincere repentance; one that will make prosperity incumbent for me.  ‘O’ the Most Merciful”.

Aa-iboona taa-iboona insha Allah aabi doona raki`oona saajidoona lirabbina haamidoon.  Allahumma lakal hamdu ala hifdhika iyyaya fee safaree wa hadharee.  Allahummaj`al aubatee haadhihi mubarakatan maimoonatan maqroonatan be taubatin nasoohin toojablee bihas-sa`adah ya Arhamar-Rahimeen.
