When you are going on a long trip, such as going home or on a tourist trip, travel prayer is an important preparation that can bring wisdom and safety on the journey. In this article, we will share some travel prayers that you can take with you along with quick tips for a safe and comfortable trip.
Praying while traveling is an important spiritual practice in many religions and beliefs. Here are some reasons why prayer is important when traveling:
Praying before traveling is a way to ask for God's protection or trusted strength so that the journey goes smoothly and safely. Prayer can also be a form of acknowledgment that we do not have full control over our journey, so we ask for protection from the Almighty.
Prayer before a trip can also help remind us of the true purpose of the trip. This helps us to stay focused and ensures that our journey has a deeper meaning than simply getting to our destination.
Praying can also help relieve worries and anxieties that may arise before traveling. This is because we believe that by asking God for protection and safety, all kinds of challenges and risks can be overcome.
Praying while traveling is also a way to build a stronger spiritual connection. This can help us feel calmer, more confident, and connected to a greater source of strength during the journey.
Prayer can also help us realize our vulnerability as humans and admit that we need help and protection from the Almighty. This helps us to remain humble and grateful for every step of a safe and smooth journey.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ. الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ. سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَـذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ. وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ (٣ مَرَّاتٍ)، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ (٣ مَرَّاتٍ)، سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.
Bismillah. Alhamdulillah. Subhaanal-ladzii sakh-khoro lanaa haadzaa wa maa kunnaa lahu muqriniin. Wa innaa ilaa robbinaa lamunqolibuun).
Alhamdulillah (3x), Allaahu akbar (3x), Subhanaka inni zhalamtu nafsi, faghfirli, fa innahu la yaghfirudz-dzunuba illaa anta.
It means:
"In the name of God, all praise be to God, Glory be to God who subjugated this vehicle for us, even though we were previously unable to control it. And indeed we will return toLord us (on the Day of Judgment).
Praise be to Allah (3x), Allah is Great (3x), Glory be to You O Allah, indeed I wronged myself, so forgive me. Indeed, there is no one who forgives sins except You." (HR Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi).
اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلبُونَ
Alhamdulillah subhanalladzi sakhkhoro lana hadza wa ma kunna lahu muqrinina wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun.
It means:
"All praise be to God, Glory be to God who has subdued all these (vehicles) for us, even though before we were not able to control them, and truly only to our Lord will we return."
بِسْمِ اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ
Bismillahi, tawakkaltu ’alallah, laa haula wa laa quwwata illaa billaah.
It means:
"In the name of God, I trust in God. There is no power and strength except with God."
PThe importance of praying when traveling lies not only in the religious aspect, but also as a way to remind ourselves of a higher purpose, ask for protection, relieve worries, build spiritual connections, and realize our vulnerabilities as humans.
