When leaving home
بسم الله وتوكلت على الله
Bismi llāhi wa-tawakkaltu ʿalā llāh.
In the name of Allah; I have placed my trust in Allah.
لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
Lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-llāh.
There is no ability or power except through Allah.
The digital wording includes wa (“and”) before tawakkaltu. The linked modern 5095 Arabic has no wa there. This reader preserves its credited digital wording instead of silently switching editions.
