# Dua for Travel

> سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ

## Transliteration

Subhanalladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinina wa inna ila Rabbina lamunqalibun

## English meaning

How perfect He is, the One who has placed this at our service, and we could never have done it by ourselves. Surely to our Lord we shall return.

## When is it recited?

Recited when boarding a vehicle or starting a journey.
