O Allah, I ask You for the best entrance and the best exit. In the Name of Allah we enter, in the Name of Allah we leave, and in Allah our Lord do we trust.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When a person enters his home, he should say [the above]. Then he should greet his family.” (Abū Dāwūd 5096) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When a man enters his house and remembers Allah upon entering and before eating, Shaytān says (to his fellow shaytān): ‘There is no place for you to spend the night and there is no supper for you.’ When he enters the house and does not remember Allah, Shaytān says: ‘You have found a place to spend the night.’ When he does not remember Allah before eating his food, Shaytān says: ‘You have found a place to stay and some supper.’” (Muslim 2018) Anas bin Mālik (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, “O my dear son, when you enter upon your family, greet them with salām as it will be a means of blessing for you and your family.” (Tirmidhī 2698) Allah says in the Qur’an: “When you enter homes, greet each other with peace – a greeting from the very providence of Allah, blessed and wholesome.” (24:61)
