When entering the Masjid |
When entering the Masjid recite Durood and Salaam first and thereafter recite: |
رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ |
"O Lord, forgive my sins and open the doors of mercy for me". (Mishkat) |
Alternatively recite |
اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ
|
"O Allah, open the doors of mercy". (Mishkat) |
At the begining of making wudu |
Recite: |
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
|
"I begin in the name of Allah, who is the Most Merciful, Most Gracious". |
It is stated in the hadith that one should begin wudhu with Allah's name. No words have been specified and our elders read the above. It is recorded in some ahadith that wudhu is valid although no "Bismillah" is recited. (Mishkat) |
On completion of wudu |
Look towards the sky and recite: |
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَاً عَبْدَهُ وَرَسُولَهُ
|
"I testify that there is no one worthy of worship besides Allah. He is all by Himself and has no partner and I testify that Muhammad is Allah's slave and Rasool (Messenger)". |
Eight doors of Jannah will be open for the reciter of this dua. He will be able to enter from whichever door he pleases. (Mishkat) |
On hearing the Athan |
Upon hearing the Athan, recite: |
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَاً عَبْدَهُ وَرَسُولَهُ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبَّاً وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولَاً وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينَاً
|
"I testify that there is no one worthy of worship besides Allah. He is all by Himself and has no partner and I testify that Muhammad  is His servant and Rasul. I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Muhammad as my Rasul and Islam as my Deen. It is stated in the hadith that the sins of a person are forgiven if the above dua is recited on hearing the athaan.(Muslim) |
Upon hearing the Muazzin give Athan |
Reply to the Muazzin |
It is stated in the Ahadith that whosoever answers the muazzin there is Jannah for him. |
Thus the reply to the muazzin (when the Muazzin says:) |

recite: |
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
|
(Mishkat) |
At the end of the athaan recite Durood then |
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ آتِ مُحَمَّدَاً الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامَاً مَحْمُودَاً الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ |
"O Allah, the Lord of this total call (invitation, proclamation) and the Lord of the Salat to begin, grant Muhammad 'intercession' ( a status) and grant him superiority and let him reach Mooqame Mahmood which You have promised, for definitely You do not go back on Your promises". (Mishkat) |
