Does Your Dua for Traveling by Car Get Accepted?

The first important thing I want to explain is: Does your dua for traveling by car get accepted? I want you to understand this before proceeding with further explanations, as it's one of the basic questions about dua while traveling that must be well understood.

Dua for Lunar Eclipse in Islam

Before answering this question, I'll first quote a hadith related to this discussion:

مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ إِلَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ أَوْ كَفَّ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهُ، مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ

"There is no one who prays with a prayer except that Allah will grant what he asks for or turn him away from a similar evil, as long as he does not pray for a sin or severance of ties of kinship."

From this hadith, we can conclude that Allah will answer all duas, including the dua while traveling. However, there are specific things we must do before, during, and after making dua for it to be accepted. I'll explain these in the following paragraphs. So, please read the entire article for full understanding.

One important thing about dua is that it is an act of worship in Islam. We can find this in the following hadith:

عَنِ النُّعْمَانَ بْنِ بَشِيْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : إِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ هُوَ العِبَادَةُ

"From Nu'man bin Bashir (radiallahu anhu), that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, 'Verily, dua is worship.'"

Thus, we are highly encouraged to make dua while traveling.

That's a brief explanation of whether your dua for traveling by car is accepted. As Muslims, it's essential that we understand this.

What to Pray When You Are Traveling by Car?

The second important question I'll address is: What to pray when you are traveling by car? I want you to understand this now, as it's one of the fundamental aspects of this discussion.

Linguistically, traveling means leaving one place to go to another. When we travel, we leave behind our family, home, and possessions. We cannot predict what will happen to us or to them while we're away. Good things may happen, but bad things may occur as well.

Dua is one way to seek protection and safety. We can ask Allah for the safety of ourselves and those we leave behind during our travels. For this reason, we are strongly encouraged to make dua while traveling.

What to Say in Islam When Someone Is Traveling

So, if you ask me, "What should I pray when I'm traveling by car?" The answer is: pray for yourself, your family, your home, and the possessions you leave behind while traveling.

That's a brief explanation of what to pray when you are traveling by car. As Muslims, we must understand this.

"In the name of Allah. I put my trust in Allah. There is no power and strength except for Allah."

  • سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهٗ مُقْرِنِيْنَۙ وَاِنَّآ اِلٰى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ

"Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have subdued it. And indeed, we, to our Lord, will surely return." (Az-Zukhruf [43]: 13-14)

  • اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِيْ السَّفَرِ , وَالْخَلِيْفَةُ فِيْ الْأَهْلِ , اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ , وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ , وَمِنْ دَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُوْمِ , وَمِنْ سُوْءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِيْ الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ
