Subhanal-ladhi sakh-khara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila Rabbina lamunqalibun
Glory to Him who has subjected this to us โ we could never have subdued it. And to our Lord we shall surely return.
Reported Context & Reflection: Ibn สฟUmar reported that the Prophet ๏ทบ said โAllฤhu akbarโ three times when setting out, then recited this verse. It applies to every mount โ camel, horse, car, aircraft: the tool is what has been subdued, not the one steering it.

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and what they overshadow, Lord of the earths and what they carry: I ask You for the good of this town and the good of its people, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of its people.

Astawdiโullaha dinaka wa amanataka wa khawatima amalik
I entrust to Allah your religion, what has been placed in your trust, and the outcome of your deeds.
Reported Context & Reflection: What is placed in trust here are the three things most likely to be lost on a journey โ and none of them is the luggage.
๐ Sunan at-Tirmidhฤซ & Sunan Abฤซ Dฤwลซd (von Ibn สฟUmar) ยท an-Nawawฤซ, al-Adhkฤr โ Kapitel: Der Abschied vom Reisenden
Allahumma inna nasโaluka fi safarina hadhal-birra wat-taqwa wa minal-amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin alayna safarana hadha watwi anna buโdah. Allahumma antas-sahibu fis-safar, wal-khalifatu fil-ahl
O Allah, we ask You on this journey of ours for righteousness, God-consciousness, and deeds that please You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and fold up its distance. O Allah, You are the companion on the journey and the guardian over the family left behind.
Reported Context & Reflection: The last sentence names what actually occupies every traveller: not the road, but those left behind. โFold up its distanceโ is the Arabic image for the road growing shorter without growing shorter.
