Travel
The duas for travel: what is said on setting out, on mounting a vehicle, on arriving somewhere and stopping for the night, and on returning home. Each is given with the Arabic text, a transliteration, an English translation and its source. The supplication of travel is among the longer ones here and is said at departure; the rest are short and tied to specific points of a journey, which is noted with each. The dua said on entering the house belongs to the everyday etiquette page, linked below.
