Dua for Travelling in the Quran | Travelers Dua Accepted

Islam is a beautiful religion that gives a perfect guide to a way of life for all humans. One of the beauties of Islam that many of us may take for granted is the fact that we have a dua for everything. Whenever a Muslim sets out on a journey, we are encouraged to say some duas for our protection and safe return. This is the dua that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) used to make whenever he traveled.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler.
