What Is Asked in This Dua

This dua consists of three parts. The servant first leaves the mosque in the name of Allah and sends peace upon the Messenger of Allah; even as he leaves the place of worship, he moves with the basmala and salat upon the Prophet. Then he asks Allah for His bounty; in return for the worship performed in the mosque, he asks for a share of Allah’s generosity, blessing and grace. He wishes to step into life outside, into his livelihood and his affairs, with Allah’s favor.

In the last part, the servant asks to be protected from the accursed Shaytan. He seeks refuge in Allah so that the peace gained in the mosque and the spiritual benefit of worship are not lost outside. The book states that this dua is a means of seeking refuge so that the worship performed is not lost. In this way, the servant asks Allah to protect the spiritual gain he has earned in the mosque.
