SUNNATS FOR PROCEEDING TO THE MASJID

S. 1 To make wudu at home. (Bukhari)

S.2 The primary intention whilst proceeding to the Masjid should be of reading Salah.

S. 3 After having heard the Adhan one should stop all worldly activities as if these activities do not have any importance.

S.4 The following Du’a should be read after leaving the house:

 

Bismillahi Tawakkaltu ‘Alallahi Wa La Hawla Wala

Quwwata Illa Billah.

“In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah, there is no power and might except from Allah.”

 

Note: It is recorded in a Hadith of Tirmidhi that whosoever reads this Du‘a after leaving the house then an unseen caller proclaims for his benefit:

 Your needs shall be fulfilled, you shall be saved from difficulties and hardships. Shaitan hearing these words leaves him i.e. stops misleading him and causing him harm. (Tirmidhi)

S.5 The recitation of the following Du’a is also recorded as Sunnat; 70,000 angels make Du’a for its reciter:

Allahumma Inni As’aluka Bihaqqis-Saa’ileena ‘Alaika Wa bihaqqi

Mamshaya Haadha Fa inni Lam Akhruj Asharaww walaa Bataraww

walaa Riyaa’aww walaa Sum‘ataww wa Kharajtu Ittiqaa’a Sakhatika

Wabtighaa’a Mardatika WaAs’alukaAn Tu‘idhani Minan-Naari WaAn

Fagh-firali Dhunubi Fainnahu La Yagh-firudh-dhunuba Illaa Anta.

 “O Allah! I beg You by means of the rights of beggars which are upon You, and by means of the rights of this my walking, I proclaim I have not set out with any intention of pride or vanity or grandeur or ostentation but for the fear of Your anger and to seek Your pleasure and I ask You to shelter me from the Fire (of Hell) and to forgive my sins, for there is surely none besides You who pardons sins. ” (Ibn Majah)

S. 6 Small steps should be taken whilst walking for Salah to the Masjid since every step shall merit reward. (At-Targhib)

S.7 The left shoe should be removed first but the Masjid should be entered with the right foot. (At-Targhib)

S.8 Whilst entering the masjid the following du‘a should be recited:

 Allahummaf-tahli Abwaba Rahmatika Allahummagh-firli Dhunubi
