بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا
Transliteration
Bismil-laahi walajna, wabismil-laahi kharajna, wa'alallaahi rabbina tawakkalna
Translation
In the name of Allah we enter and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon our Lord we place our trust.
Note
Then give salaam to the people inside. [1] When a person enters and says Allah's name and mentions it while eating, Satan says to himself: You have no place to sleep and no food tonight. [2]
Say this dua to keep Shaytan away and bring peace. Daily use builds trust in Allah and fills your house with His mercy and Barakah.
The real dua is Bismillahi walajna. It means in the name of Allah we enter. Say this masnoon dua every time you walk in.
It protects your family. A sahih hadith says if you say Bismillah when entering, Shaitan cannot spend the night inside.
Yes, Bismillah is the minimum. But the full dua brings more reward and completes the Sunnah.
You can use this dua for a new house too. Also read Surah Baqarah to keep Shaitan away and bring blessings.
No. This is only for entering. When leaving, say Bismillahi tawakkaltu alallah. Both show trust in Allah for safety.
Say it when you remember inside. Put a sticker on the door to help you remember this daily prayer.
It focuses on safety and trust. But obeying Allah brings barakah. When Shaitan is out, your home feels peaceful and blessed.
