Dua When entering ones home
ﺍﻟﻠَّﻬُﻢَّ ﺇِﻧِّﻲ ﺃَﺳْﺄَﻟُﻚَ ﺧَﻴْﺮَ ﺍﻟْﻤَﻮْﻟِﺞِ
ﻭَﺧَﻴْﺮَ ﺍﻟْﻤَﺨْﺮَﺝِ ﺑِﺴْﻢِ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪِ ﻭَﻟِﺠْﻨَﺎ
ﻭَﻋَﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪِ ﺭَﺑِّﻨَﺎ ﺗَﻮَﻛَّﻠْﻨَﺎ
"O Allah, I seek a good entry and a good exit.
We take Allah's name to enter and to exit and
rely on Him who is our Lord.
After this dua greet the members of the
household.
(Mishkat)
Jaabir (R.A.) narrates that Prophet Mohammad
(S.A.W.) stated that when a man enters his
home and makes Dhikr (remembers Allah) and
also makes Dhikr at meal times, then Satan says
to his colleagues that the night cannot be spent
there nor can they partake of the peoples food
and if no Dhikr was made on entering the house,
then Satan says to his colleagues that they have
an opportunity to spend the night there and if
no Dhikr was made at meal times, then Satan
tells his colleagues that they will be able to stay
there and also get food.
(Mishkat, Chapter on food)
