Upon entering the mosque
أَعوذُ باللهِ العَظيـم وَبِوَجْهِـهِ الكَرِيـم وَسُلْطـانِه القَديـم مِنَ الشّيْـطانِ الرَّجـيم، [ بِسْـمِ الله، وَالصَّلاةُ وَالسَّلامُ عَلى رَسولِ الله]، اللّهُـمَّ افْتَـحْ لي أَبْوابَ رَحْمَتـِك
I seek refuge in Almighty Allah, By His Noble Face, By His primordial power, From Satan the outcast. 1 [In the Name of Allah, and blessings 2 and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. 3 O Allah, open before me the doors of Your mercy. 4
