Ghar me dakhil hone ki dua often refers to Bismillahi walajna. This wording is part of Abu Dawud 5096, graded weak by Al-Albani in the cited edition. Remembering Allah on entering the home is separately supported by Sahih Muslim 2018a. The distinction matters when learning and sharing this prayer.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا
Urdu meaning
اللہ کے نام سے ہم داخل ہوئے، اللہ کے نام سے ہم نکلے، اور اللہ ہی پر، جو ہمارا رب ہے، ہم نے بھروسا کیا۔
English meaning
In Allah’s name we enter and leave, and upon Allah, our Lord, we rely.

Bismillahi walajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa ‘alallahi Rabbina tawakkalna.
Reference: سنن ابو داؤد 5096 — دعا کا حصہ. Translations are explanatory renderings of the meaning.
Reference and narration note
The words above form part of the longer supplication in Sunan Abi Dawud 5096. The source displays Al-Albani’s grading as da‘if, or weak. Our image states that grading and identifies the wording as an excerpt. It should not be shared as an undisputed sahih narration.
What does Bismillahi walajna mean?
Walajna expresses entering, kharajna expresses going out, and tawakkalna expresses reliance. The wording brings everyday movement together with remembering Allah. The excerpt leaves out the report’s earlier request for good in entering and leaving; follow the reference for the complete narration.
What is established about entering the home?
Sahih Muslim 2018a reports the importance of mentioning Allah upon entering the house and at the meal. It describes Satan finding no lodging or evening meal when Allah is remembered at both points. That sound report supports remembrance in these situations, but does not authenticate every longer formula circulated online.
Keep the meaning with the words
A useful family reminder explains what is being said and where it comes from. Read the translation while learning, and keep the narration note on the image. If you want guidance on using a supplication from a weak report, consult a qualified scholar familiar with your school’s approach.
Entering and leaving are separate topics
The words shown mention both entering and leaving, but the cited chapter concerns entering the house. Do not confuse this page with a different prayer taught for setting out from home. Clear titles and references help you learn each text in its own context.
