What to Say on Entering Your House
The Prophet said, “ If one remembers Allah on entering his
house and his meals, Satan says [to the devils in his company]:
You have no place to stay or food to eat…”
To remember Allah on entering your
house, you can say:
Allaahumma innee
as-aluk(a)
khairal-mawlij(i),
wa-khairal-makhraj(i),
bismil-laahi walajnaa, wa-bismil-laahi kharajnaa,
wa-alal-laahi rabbinaa
tawakkalnaa
Translation
(O Allah! I am asking You for the best entry and the
best departure. In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we go
out, and we put our trust in Allah, our Lord). Then he should greet his
family.)
