Dream - When will Dream's friends start going home? Yes, Eid is just around the corner. Many people have already started going home to avoid traffic jams and be able to gather with their families early. In addition to preparing everything well, Dream's friends should also not forget to pray for a smooth journey home. So that they can arrive safely in their hometown. Especially for those of you who have to travel far. Of course, there are various worries during the journey. Nevertheless, you still have to think positively by entrusting everything to Allah SWT through prayer.

This prayer is derived from Imam an-Nawawi in al-Adzkar, as quoted by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidzi, and An-Nasai from An-Nasai from Sayyidina Ali: Reading Bismillah, reading the following prayer: الحَمْدُ للهِ / سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ Alhamdulillāhilladzī/subhānalladzī sakhkhara lanā hādhā wa mā kunnā lahū muqrinīna, wa innā ilā rabbinā lamunqalibūna. Meaning: "All praise is for Allah, the Lord who has subjected this to us, whereas we were not capable of subduing it. Indeed, we will return to our Lord."

Reading Alhamdulillah (3 times) Reading Allahu Akbar (3 times) Reading the following prayer: سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْلِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ Subhānaka innī zhalamtu nafsī faghfirlī fa innahū lā yaghfiruz dzunūba illā anta. It means, "Glory be to You, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me. Indeed, no one forgives sins except You."

Apart from reciting prayers above, Dream friends can also recite Surah Al-Ikhlas before departing for Eid homecoming. This recommendation certainly has clear reasons and foundations. In the narrations of Ibnu Sinni and Al-Baihaqi, it is told about how the Prophet saw during the battle in Tabuk and was asked to return to Madinah to perform the funeral prayer for his companion, Muawiyah. In the narration, it is explained that the angel Jibril visited the Prophet saw while in Tabuk. Jibril commanded the Prophet saw to perform the funeral prayer for Muawiyah.

Jibril descended with 70,000 angels. He lowered his right wing above the hill until it reached a low point. He also placed his left wing on the ground until it reached a low point, allowing him to see the cities of Makkah and Madinah. After finishing praying for Muawiyah, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked Jibril, "O Jibril, by what actions did Muawiyah attain such a high status?" Jibril replied, "Muawiyah regularly recited Surah Al-Ikhlas while standing, riding, and walking."

The following is the reading of Surah Al-Ikhlas that is recited when going on a journey: قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (1) اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ (2) لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ (3) وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ (4) (Qul huwallâhu aḥad. Allâhush shamad. Lam yalid, wa lam yûlad. Wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan aḥad.) Meaning: "Say, 'He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent.'"
