331. Dua for Travelling in Names of Allah (Masnun Dua)
Noah (AS) took a boat ride while reading the following prayer:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَآ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسٰىهَا اِنَّ رَبِّىْ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
Bismillahi majraha wa mursaha inna rabbee laGhafoorur-Raheem
Translation
In the name of Allah is its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.
Note that, this Dua cannot be said while mounting an animal or any means of transport. However, in our country, this dua is written in front of many vehicles and the supervisor says this dua when starting the journey, which is wrong.
