# Dua When Leaving Home
## Arabic Text
**بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ**
## Transliteration
**Bismillahi, tawakkaltu 'alallahi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah**
## Translation
"In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah."
## When to Recite
This beautiful dua should be recited **every time you leave your home**. It is a Sunnah practice that takes only a few seconds but carries immense blessings and protection.
## Benefits of This Dua
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when we recite this dua upon leaving our homes, we receive special divine protection. He said:
*"When a person goes out of his house and says: 'In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, there is no power and no strength except with Allah,' it will be said to him: 'You are guided, defended and protected.' The devils will go far from him."*
### Key Lessons:
1. **Bismillah (In the name of Allah)** - We begin every action by remembering Allah
2. **Tawakkul (Trust)** - We place complete reliance on Allah alone
3. **Acknowledging Dependence** - We recognize that all power belongs to Allah
## Practical Tips
- Make it a habit to pause at your doorstep and recite this dua
- Teach it to your children so they develop this blessed habit
- Recite it with sincerity and presence of heart
- Remember that Allah's protection accompanies those who remember Him
## Additional Note
Some narrations add that when you say this dua, an angel responds: "You have been guided, sufficed, and protected," and another devil says to his companions: "How can you deal with a man who has been guided, sufficed and protected?"
May Allah protect us all and make us among those who remember Him consistently.
