Secret of Earning More Reward (Sawāb)

·         I will make Salām to people on the way and at work place. C  I will reply to the Salām of others.

·         I will protect my seven organs: eyes, tongue, ears, hands, feet, stomach and private parts[1] that have the potential of committing sins.

·         I will offer Ṣalāĥ with Jamā’at regularly. C Whenever appropriate, I will make individual efforts to call [people] towards the Madanī activities of Dawat-e-Islami.

·         Upon my return, when I enter my home, I will recite the Masnūn Du’ā[2], make Salām to my family members, then Salām to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and then recite Sūraĥ Al-Ikhlāṣ.[3]

[2] Du’ā for entering the home

اَللّٰهُمَّ   اِ نِّیْۤ   اَسْئَلُكَ  خَيْرَ  الْمَوْلَجِ  وَ خَيْرَ  الْمَخْرَ جِ   ط

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ  وَ لَجْنَا  وَ  بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ  خَرَجْنَا  ط  وَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ  رَ بِّنَا  تَوَكَّلْنَا

Translation: O Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ)! I ask You for the goodness of entering and exiting. Commencing with the name of Allah, we entered (our home) and with His name we exited, and our Lord Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) we have trusted.

(Abū Dāwūd, vol. 4, pp. 421, Ḥadīš 5096)

[3] Doing this اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ will lead to blessings in your sustenance and save you from family disputes.
