Dua For Leaving and Entering Home In Arabic With Transliteration and English Translation

In order to avoid all dangers in carrying out daily activities, Islam regulates all the behavior of its people. Because in carrying out our daily activities we are never free from risks such as negligence resulting in work accidents or others. Every Muslim is definitely required to have a personality with good morals, and must also be responsible for his life both for himself and the people around him.

Every Muslim is recommended to pray first before starting the activity. As described in a hadith.

وَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الدُّعَاءُ سِلَاحُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَعِمَادُ الدِّيْنِ وَنُوْرُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْأَرْض

Rasulullah SAW said: "Prayer is the weapon of the believer, the pillar of religion, and the light of the heavens and the earth." (Narrated by Imam Abu Ya'la and Imam Al-Hakim from the Companions of Ali R.A)

Dua For Leaving and Entering Home In Arabic With Transliteration and English Translation

One of the behaviors of Muslims recommended by the Prophet Muhammad, for example, is when entering and leaving the house. We are encouraged to say dhikr, basmalah, and greetings when the feet are about to step into or out of the house. The goal is to bring good luck to those who say greetings or their families.

Quoting from the tirto.id page, one of the things that is recommended is reading basmalah and dhikr to Allah SWT, while what should not be forgotten is saying greetings when you want to step foot into the house, whether the house is inhabited or not. In the Qur'an it has been explained that:

“When you enter houses, you should greet yourself (to the occupants, which means greeting) yourself, with a greeting full of blessings and good from Allah. Thus Allah explains (His) verses to you, that you may understand.” (Q.S An-Nur 24:61)

Saying greetings, of course there are procedures, which should be done with full respect as a form of expecting a blessing and goodness. This is explained in a hadith from Anas bin Malik RA, namely:

"The Messenger of Allah said to me: O my son, if you enter to meet your family, then say greetings, so that blessings come upon you and the inhabitants of your house." (HR At-Tirmidhi).
