Dua Entering & Leaving Home

Authentic supplications for entering and leaving your home. The Prophet said: "When a man enters his home and mentions Allah, Shaytan says: There is no place for me here."

Meaning: In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon Allah our Lord we rely.
