اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَوْلَجِ وَخَيْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ، بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِاسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا.
O Allah, I ask of You the best of the entrance and the best of the exit. In Allah's name we enter, and in Allah's name we leave, and on Allah, our Lord, we depend.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khayral mawlaji wa khayral makhraji, bismillahi walajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa 'alallahi Rabbina tawakkalna.

How to Read

Narrated by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When a man says when he enters his home and remembers Allah the Exalted at the time of his entering and at the time of his eating, Satan says: 'You have no place to spend the night and no food.' When he enters and does not remember Allah the Exalted at the time of his entering, Satan says: 'You have found a place to spend the night,' and when he does not remember Him at the time of eating, Satan says: 'You have found a place to spend the night and food.'" (Sahih Muslim 1805). While this specific hadith focuses on remembering Allah in general, the comprehensive dua for entering the home encapsulates this remembrance and further specifies the seeking of goodness and reliance.
