Upon entering the mosque
Essential Prophetic Supplications
Upon entering the mosque
Audio:
The Beloved of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) would say the following when entering the mosque:
Allahumma ’ftah lee abwaba rahmatik
‘O Allah, open for me the doors of Your Mercy’
(Related by Ibn Maja and others)
[a recording of this is attached]
Note that the sunna is to enter the mosque (and all noble places) with one’s right foot, and to exit with one’s left foot.
Wassalam,
