      (Muslim , Tirmidhi)
      Trans: Glory be to the one who has subjugated this for us whereas we were not able to subjugate it on our own. And we will certainly be returning to our Lord.

      4. Thereafter recite the following dua:


      (Muslim , Hisne Haseen)
      Trans: O Allah make this journey easy for us and shorten  the length of the journey as well. O Allah, You are our companion on this journey and the Protector of our household. O Allah, I seek Your protection from the hardship of travel, from witnessing a terrible sight and from finding an evil condition having befallen my family, wealth and children upon my return.

      5. When the need arises to stop along the way, the is to move to the side of the road. Do not camp in the middle of the road whereby the paths of others are blocked and they experience inconvenience thereby. (Muslim- Vol.2, pg.144)

At the time of descending, begin with the left leg and recite although it is only a small decline. There is hope that one will recieve the reward of practising on a Sunnat. Mulla Ali Qari () has mentioned the wisdom in saying at the time of ascension, that although apperently we are going higher but O Allah ! we are not high. Highness and greatness are only for you.

      13. By practising these Sunnats one will recieve the benefits in this world and the Hereafter.
