For a traveller’s family

For a traveller’s family

According to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)

the best care-taker of your family, who will look after them while your are travelling is, that at the time of departure you should offer two rak’at prayers and recite:

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ نَفْسِيْ وَ أَهْلِيْ وَ مَالِيْ وَ دِيْنِيْ وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِيْ وَ أَمَانَتِيْ وَ خَوَاتِيْمَ عَمَلِيْ‏

Transliteration:

ALLAAHUMMA INNEE ASTAW-DE-O’KA NAFSEE WA AHLEE WA MAALEE WA DEENEE WA DUNYAAYA WA AAKHERATEE WA AMAANATEE WA KHAWAATEEMA A’MALEE.

Translation:

O Allah! I leave unto Thy care my life, my wife and children, my merchandise, my generation, my world here and hereafter, deposits under my custody and place my end of life Thy hands.
