Invocation for a layover (stopping along the way) on the journey
The dua in its Arabic wording from Hisn al-Muslim, with its English meaning.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillahir-rahmanir-raheem
Each dua: the Arabic, then a transliteration to help you say it aloud, then its meaning.
((أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ)).
A'oodhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq.
(I take refuge in Allah’s perfect words from the evil that He has created.)
