Question
What can I recite before leaving home for protection from accidents and incidents?
Answer
بِسْمِ اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ
In the name of Allah, I place my trust upon Allah, and there is no might (to refrain from evil except in the protection of Allah) and there is no power (to carry out good actions) except with the assistance of Allah Ta’aala.
Another Dua that may be recited every morning and evening for protection of one’s Deen, life, wealth, family and children is;بِسْمِ اللهِ عَلَى دِيْنِئ وَنَفْسِي وَوَلَدِيْ وَأَهْلِيْ وَمَالِيْ
In the name of Allah upon my Deen, my life, my children, my family and my wealth.
