Rafiq-ul-Haramayn 13
Translation: O Allah ! I seek Your refuge from the collapse of the
building, and I seek Your refuge from falling from a higher place,
and I seek Your refuge from drowning, burning and old age 1 . And I
seek Your refuge from Satanic whispering at the time of death, and
I seek Your refuge from dying whilst showing my back to Your path,
and I seek Your refuge from dying of the sting of a snake.
Madanī pearl: The Arabic words for ‘falling from a higher place’
‏ِي and ‘burning’ are
‏َرَق and تَرَدّ‏ ۡ
respectively. The Beloved and ح
Blessed Prophet ٖ
would make this Du’ā. In fact,
this Du’ā is not specific to air travel. Since refuge is sought in
this Du’ā from ‘falling from a higher place’ and ‘burning’, and
air travel involves both of these risks, it is therefore hoped that
the aeroplane will remain safe from any crash by the blessing
of reciting this Du’ā.
14. While travelling by bus, train etc., recite the following
invocations, the conveyance will remain safe from all sorts of
accidents, .
