Setting Out to Work
Sahih (Authentic)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
Bismillah, tawakkaltu alallah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah. There is no might and no power except with Allah.
Reported Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever says this on leaving his house is told, “You are guided, you are provided for, you are protected” — and Satan turns away from him.
Beginning a Task
Traditional Supplication
رَبِّ يَسِّرْ وَلَا تُعَسِّرْ رَبِّ تَمِّمْ بِالْخَيْرِ
Rabbi yassir wa la tu’assir, Rabbi tammim bil-khayr
My Lord, make it easy and not hard. My Lord, let it end in good.
Very widespread, but not a hadith wording. Unobjectionable as your own supplication — only do not pass it on as a prophetic saying. For an established alternative: “Allāhumma lā sahla illā mā jaʿaltahu sahlā” (see Distress & Grief).
A Truthful Entrance and a Truthful Exit
Quranic Verse
رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَأَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَاجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطَانًا نَصِيرًا
Rabbi adkhilni mudkhala sidqin wa akhrijni mukhraja sidqin, waj’al li min ladunka sultanan nasira
My Lord, cause me to enter with a truthful entrance and to leave with a truthful exit, and grant me from Yourself a helping authority.
Reported Context & Reflection: By the classical reading, the verse was revealed before the emigration to Medina: out of Mecca, into Medina — both in such a way that truthfulness is not left behind. Scholars have recommended the request ever since for every transition: residence, office, occupation.
