โœฆ

In Allah's name we enter, and in Allah's name we leave, and in Allah, our Lord, we place our trust. O Allah, I ask You for the best of entrance and the best of exit, a door of provision and blessing. And I ask You, my Lord, to bless me in my family and in my home, and to expand my provision, and to make my home a gathering place for knowledge, wisdom, and innovation. And grant me righteous offspring who follow Your command, who love the Sunnah of Your Prophet. And protect me and my offspring from the accursed devil.

Bismillahi walajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa 'alallahi Rabbana tawakkalna. Allahumma inni as'aluka khairal madkhali wa khairal makhraji, baban rizqiw wa barakah, wa as'aluka Rabbi an tubarika li fi ahli wa fi baiti, wa an tuwassi'a 'alayya rizqi, wa an taj'ala baiti majlisa 'ilmin wa hikmatin wa ibda', wa an tarzuqani adh-dhurriyyat as-salihah at-tabi'ata li amrik, al-muhibbata li sunnati nabiyyik, wa an tu'idhani wa dhurriyyati minash-shaytanir-rajim.

When to Read

Recite this dua every time you enter your home, whether you are alone or with family. It's a beautiful way to begin your time at home by remembering Allah and seeking His blessings for the space and its inhabitants.

How to Read

Stand at the doorway, facing the inside of your home. Begin with the intention of seeking Allah's blessings. Recite the dua with sincerity and focus, picturing your home as a sanctuary blessed by Allah, a place where good ideas can flourish and knowledge is sought. It's also a sunnah to say 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah) when entering your home, and this dua encompasses that essence.

Virtues & Benefits

This comprehensive dua seeks Allah's protection and blessings upon your home, making it a haven of peace and prosperity. By asking for 'knowledge, wisdom, and innovation,' you are specifically invoking Allah's grace to make your home a space where creative thoughts and new solutions can arise, mirroring the ingenuity that Islam encourages. It also ensures the well-being of your family, asking for righteous descendants who will be a source of comfort and continuation of good deeds.

Source & Authentication

While no single hadith contains this exact comprehensive wording, it is built upon the foundations of authentic narrations. For entering the home, the Prophet ๏ทบ taught: 'When a man enters his house, he should say: O Allah, I ask You for a blessed entrance and a blessed exit. O Allah, make easy for us the entry and make easy for us the exit, and forgive us and have mercy on us. And on Allah we depend.' (Sahih Muslim 2709). The additional requests for provision, blessing, family well-being, knowledge, wisdom, innovation, righteous offspring, and protection from Shaytan are all well-established supplications taught by the Prophet ๏ทบ in various contexts, and are fitting to combine for a holistic prayer for one's home.
