Dua for Entering and Leaving the Home

Dua for Entering and Leaving the Home

The home entered with Allah's name is protected from shaytan spending the night in it, and the one who leaves upon tawakkul is guided, sufficed, and defended. Two short phrases guard both directions of your door.

1. Upon entering the home

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا
Bismillaahi walajnaa, wa bismillaahi kharajnaa, wa 'alaallaahi rabbinaa tawakkalnaa.
In the name of Allah we enter, in the name of Allah we leave, and upon Allah our Lord we rely.
Source: Abu Dawud 5096

2. In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah, there is no power nor strength except with Allah.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'alallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah
In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah, there is no power nor strength except with Allah.
Source: Abu Dawud 5095, Tirmidhi 3426
