Prophetic Supplications: When Entering and leaving a Mosque
When Entering and leaving a Mosque
The Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HF) said: When entering a mosque, enter with your right foot and say:
بِسْمِ اللهِ وَ عَلَى اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ.
In the name of Allah, I put my trust in Allah and there is no power and strength except with Allah.
When leaving the mosque, exist with your left foot and say:
بِسْمِ اللهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
In the name of Allah, I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan.
Then the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: O Ali, the one who enters a mosque with these words, Allah will accept his prayers and bless him with 100 units for his every unit of prayer and if he exits the Masjid with these words, Allah will forgive his sins and for his every step Allah will raise his position in paradise and reward him with a hundred good deeds for each step.
