Dua for Entering and Leaving the Mosque

The mosque is entered seeking Allah's mercy and left seeking His bounty. The Prophet ﷺ taught a short dua for each threshold, recorded in Sahih Muslim.

1. Upon entering the mosque

اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ
Allaahumma iftah lee abwaaba rahmatik.
O Allah, open the gates of Your mercy for me.
Source: Sahih Muslim 713

2. Upon leaving the mosque

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
Allaahumma innee as'aluka min fadlik.
O Allah, I ask You of Your bounty.
Source: Sahih Muslim 713
