Du'a for leaving the masjid
When leaving the masjid we say “Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik” — “O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty” — and many families step out with the left foot first.
Teacher review under way.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik
“O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty.”
Good to know: Many people also say “Bismillah” and send salawat (blessings) on the Prophet ﷺ as they leave, before this du'a.
What it means
“O Allah, please give me lots of Your good gifts.”
When we say it
As we step out of the masjid — many families teach the left foot first.
How to teach it in 3 steps
Step 1: Teach it as the “partner” of the entering du'a: mercy going in, gifts coming out.
Step 2: At the door, left foot out, say it together, then put shoes on.
Step 3: On the way home, ask: “What good gift do you hope Allah gives you today?”
Questions parents ask
What does “fadl” mean for a child?
Allah's extra kindness and good gifts — food, family, friends, fun and everything good.
How do we remember which du'a is which?
In: “open the doors of mercy”. Out: “I ask for Your gifts”. Practising them as a pair helps.
