Etiquettes of moving into a new house :
Every one of us will probably move into a new house some time or another, at least once in our lifetime. Here are some etiquettes of moving into the new house according to the Sunnah.

1) Thank Allah:

First and foremost be grateful for the blessing of Allaah, because being grateful is one of the noblest of deeds. Indeed it is Allaah alone that has blessed you and if you are thankful, Allaah will increase you even more in His blessings.

“And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: If you give thanks, I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily, My punishment is indeed severe” [Surah Ibraaheem:7]

Ibn al-Qayyim said:
Faith is of two halves: half is gratitude and half is patience.

2) Say this Dua:

Someone asked Sheikh Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen what a person should say if he enters his home. He said:
“Praise be to Allaah. When a man enters his house, he should say….

أعوذ بكلمات الله التامَّات من شر ما خلق

‘A’oodhu bi kalimaat-Illaah it-taammaati min sharri ma khalaq
(I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He has created)’ three times.

If he says this, then nothing will harm him until he leaves that place.”

Also when the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) saw something that he liked, he would say:

الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الذِي بِنِعمَتِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ

“Al-hamdu Lillaah illadhi bi ni’matihi tatimmu’l-saalihaat
(Praise be to Allaah by Whose grace good deeds are completed).” (Ibn Maajah)

3) Say Bismillaah and prevent the Shaytaan from entering:

Saying Bismillaah on entering your house will keep the Shaytaan out. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:

“When a man enters his house, and mentions Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, when he enters and when he eats, the Shaytaan says: ‘You have no place to stay and no dinner.’ But if he enters and does not mention Allaah when he enters, the Shaytaan says, ‘You have found a place to stay.’ And if he does not mention Allaah when he eats, he says: ‘You have found a place to stay and dinner.’” (Muslim)

This is not only for a new house, rather it includes all houses and all times of entering. So start your life in your new house with the remembrance of Allaah

4) Say Masha Allaah:

When you admire your new house, say

مَا شَاءَ اللهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِاللهِ

“Ma sha’ Allaah la quwwata illa Billaah.”

That is because Allaah said in the story of the two men in Surah al-Kahf:

“It was better for you to say, when you entered your garden: ‘‘Ma sha’ Allaah la quwwata illa Billaah (that which Allaah wills (will come to pass! There is no power but with Allaah)’ If you see me less than you in wealth, and children” [Surah al-Kahf:39]

Ibn al-Qayyim said: “The one who enters his garden or house and sees something that he likes in his wealth or his family should hasten to say these words, and if he does, no harm will befall the thing that he admired.”

5) Protect your house from Envy and the Evil Eye:

One of the ways in which you can seek protection for your new house from the evil eye and envy is to say what the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) taught us.

أُعِيذُكَ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِن كُلِّ شَيطَانٍ وَهَامَّة ، وَمِن كُلِّ عَينٍ لَامَّةٍ

“U’eedhuka bi kalimaat-Allaah il-taammah min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah
(I seek refuge for you in the perfect words of Allaah from every devil and poisonous reptile, and from every envious evil eye).” (Bukhaari)

6) Read Surah al-Baqarah:

Reading this blessed Surah will drive the Shayaateen away from your house. The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:

“Do not make your houses into graves, for the Shaytaan flees from a house in which Surah al-Baqarah is recited.” (Muslim)

Shaykh Ibn Baaz said :

“It seems – and Allaah knows best – that by means of the reading of all of Soorat al-Baqarah, either on the radio or by the owner of the house, that which was mentioned by the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) may be achieved, namely Shaytaan fleeing from that house. (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa)

This shows us that any way that the reading is achieved is sufficient, be it reading it yourself or playing it on the CD, radio, etc.

7) Invite people to dinner:

Make food and invite people to come and eat, because that is a way of showing gratitude to Allaah. The Ulama tell us that holding a feast after acquiring property is called “wakeerah” and it is mustahabb (recommended) to do so, like all kinds of feasts that are given on happy occasions.

(8) Stay away from innovations:

There is no proof in the Qur’aan or Sunnah that justifies holding Qur’aan Khwaanis or ‘Khatams’ of ‘Yaa Salaamu’, etc. when a person moves to a new house. We don’t have any authentic reports about the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) or the Sahabah reading the different parts of the Qur’aan or holding Khatams when they, for example, migrated to Madeenah and moved to new houses. As a matter of fact, they didn’t do this EVER, at any part of their lives, whether they moved or not moved.

Also there is no proof in the Shari’ah of other innovations that people have invented when they first move into new houses such as taking the Qur’aan, or taking water and salt before anything else into their new house, burning chilies at the doorstep, etc. That is all superstition and thus forbidden.

Only two verses will suffice you:

Aboo Mas’ood narrated that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“Whoever recites the two verses from the end of Sooratul-Baqarah in a night, they will suffice him.”

Al-Bukhaaree, Muslim, Aboo Daawood (#1397), at-Tirmidhee (#2881), Ibn Maajah (#1368 and 1369)

You are Aththahir so there is nothing above You and You are Al-Batin so there is nothing closer than
Tawrah: The book revealed to Moosa
Injeel: The book revealed to Easa
Furqan: One of the many names of the Quran, means: The Criterion which distinguishes between truth and falsehood.
Aththahir: Indicates the greatness of His attributes and the insignificance of every single creation in respect to His greatness and Highness, for He is above all of His creation as regards His essence and attributes.
Al-Batin: Indicates His awareness and knowledge of all secrets, of that which is in the hearts and the most intimate of things just as it indicates His closeness and nearness to all in a manner which befits His majesty.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ, ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ, ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ, نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ, أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اِسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ, سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ, أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ, أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ, أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيْعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُوْرَ صَدْرِي, وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي, وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.

‘O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your hand (i.e. You have total mastery over), Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.’

اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ.

‘O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my affairs.None has the right to be worshipped except You.’
هُوَ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَلِيْمٌ
He should also recite the following verse:
(huwal-’Awwalu Wal-’Ākhiru Waž-Žāhiru Wal-Bāţinu Wa Huwa Bikulli Shay’in Alīm).
‘He is The First and The Last, Aththahir and Al-Batin and He knows well all things.’
Aththahir: Indicates the greatness of His attributes and the insignificance of every single creation in respect to His greatness and Highness, for He is above all of His creation as regards His essence and attributes.
Al-Batin: Indicates His awareness and knowledge of all secrets, of that which is in the hearts and the most intimate of things just as it indicates His closeness and nearness to all in a manner which befits His majesty.
اللَّهُمَّ لا سَهْلَ إِلاَّ مَا جَعَلتَهُ سَهْلاً، وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزَنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً.
Al-Lahumma Lā Sahla ‘Illā Mā Jaaltahu Sahlā, Wa ‘Anta Tajalul-Ĥazana ‘Idhā Shi’ta Sahlā.
‘O Allah, there is no ease except in that which You have made easy, and You make the difficulty, if You wish, easy.’
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لا أَعْلَمُ.
Al-Lahumma ‘Innī ‘Aūdhu Bika ‘An ‘Ushrika Bika Wa ‘Anā ‘Alam, Wa ‘Astaghfiruka Limā Lā ‘A`lam.
‘O Allah, I take refuge in You lest I should commit shirk with You knowingly and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do unknowingly.’

أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات التي لا يجاوزهن بر ولا فاجر من شر ما خلق، وبرأ وذرأ، ومن شر ما ينزل من السماء ومن شر ما يعرج فيها، ومن شر ما ذرأ في الأرض ومن شر ما يخرج منها، ومن شر فتن الليل والنهار، ومن شر كل طارق إلا طارقا يطرق بخير يا رحمن.
‘Aūdhu Bikalimātil-Lāhit-Tāmmātil-Latī Lā Yujāwizuhunna Barrun Wa Lā Fājirun Min Shsharri MāKhalaq, Wa Bara’a Wa Dhara’, Wa Min Sharri Mā Yanzilu Minas-Samā‘i Wa Min Sharri Mā Yaruju Fīhā, Wa Min Sharri Mā Dhara’a Fīl-’Arđi Wa Min Sharri Mā Yakhruju Minhā, Wa Min Sharri Fitanil-Layli Wan-Nahār, Wa Min Sharri Kulli Ţāriqin ‘Illā Ţāriqan Yaţruqu Bikhayrin Yā Raĥman.
‘I take refuge within Allah’s perfect words which no righteous or unrighteous person can transgress, from all the evil that He has created, made and originated. (I take refuge) from the evil that descends from the sky and the evil that rises up to it. (I take refuge) from the evil that is spread on Earth and the evil that springs from her, and I take refuge from the evil of the tribulations of night and day, and the evil of one who visits at night except the one who brings good, O Merciful One.’

اللهم انت ربي لا اله الا انت عليك توكلت وانت رب العرش العظيم, ما شاء الله كان ومالم يشأ لم يكن, ولا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم, اعلم ان الله على كل شىء قدير, وان الله قد احاط بكل شيء علما, اللهم اني اعوذ بك من شر نفسي, ومن شر كل دابة انت آخذ بناصيتها, ان ربي على صراط مستقيم

(Oh Allah, You are my Lord. There is nothing worthy of worship except You. I place all of my trust and reliance in You and You are the Lord of the Noble Throne. Whatever Allah wishes takes place, and whatever He does not desire, does not occur, and there is no power and no strength except in Allah, The Exalted, The Mighty. I know that Allah is Powerful over all things and that Allah has knowledge of all things. Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my nafs (self) and from the evil of every crawling creature. You are master over them. Verily, You are Lord of the Straight Path.)
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتَ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِر لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

(O Allah, You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your slave. I am faithful in my covenant and my promise (to You) as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from all the evil I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I confess to You all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You.)
اللهم اصلح لي ديني الذي هو عصمة امري, واصلح لي دنياي التي فيها معاشي, واصلح لي اخرتي التي فيها معادي, واجعل الحياة زيادة لي في كل خير, واجعل الموت راحة لي من كل شر

(O Allah! Correct for me my faith, which is the guard of my affairs, make better my world where I have my livelihood, set right my hereafter where I have to return ultimately, make my life long, in every type of virtue, and make my death a comfort against all evils.

سبحان الله وبحمده عدد خلقه, ورضا نفسه, وزنة عرشه, ومداد كلماته
“Subhanal lahi wa bi ham-di-hi ada-da Khal-qihi wa rida’a naf-sihi wa zina-ta ‘ar-shi-hi wa mida-da Kale-mate-hi.”(Glory be to Allah and praise is due to Him, according to the number of His creation and according to His pleasure and corresponding to the weight of His Throne and as much as the ink [used in recording] His words). (thrice)
لا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلْكُ وَلَهُ الحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَدِيْرٌ(مَائَةَ مَرَّة
Abu Hurayrah (R.A) reported that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said: ‘Whoever says:
Lā ‘Ilāha ‘Illāl-Lāhu Waĥdahu Lā Sharīka Lah, Lahul-Mulku Wa Lahul-Ĥamd, Wa Huwa `Alá KulliShay’in Qadīr. (one hundred times)
‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent.’
…a hundred times during the day, has the reward of freeing ten slaves, a hundred good deeds are recorded for him and a hundred bad deeds are wiped away and he has gained refuge from the devil that day until evening and none shall come with anything better except someone who has done more.’
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيم

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast Allâh! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursî[] extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

The Messenger (Muhammad SAW) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allâh, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say), “We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers” and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).” (285) Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope.

He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maulâ (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people.”

HEALING SUPPLICATIONS FROM THE QURAN & SUNNAH FOR PREVENTION & PROTECTION


COMBATING AGAINST SIHR, EVIL EYE AND JINN.

One of the greatest means of protecting and combating oneself against the evil effects of witchcraft ,evil eye/envy and jinn is to persist in regularly reciting the Adhkaar .They prevent against witchcraft ,evil eye/envy and jinn possession before it happens, protecting one against it and warding off its evil, and remedying it if it does happen.

Those who have tried these supplications prayers for refuge on a regular basis morning and evening know their value and benefit and how a great need there is for them.
أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق

Hadith : If you die after reciting this dua in night , then you will die as a Muslim

RasoolAllah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said whenever you go to your bed (for sleeping) say (these dua) and (After saying this) If you then die on that night, then you will die as a Muslim, and if you wake alive in the morning then you will receive the reward.

اللَّهُمَّ أَسلَمتُ نَفسِي إِلَيكَ، وَفَوَّضتُ أَمرِي إِلَيكَ
وَوَجَّهتُ وَجهِي إِلَيكَ، وَأَلجَأتُ ظَهرِي إِلَيكَ
رَغبَةً وَرَهبَةً إِلَيكَ، لاَ مَلجَأَ وَلاَ مَنجَا مِنكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيكَ
آمَنتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنزَلتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرسَلتَ‌‏

Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika, wa fauwadtu Amri ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika, wa alja'tu zahri ilaika, reghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu bikitabikal-ladhi anzalta wa Binabiyyikalladhi Arsalta.

O Allah! I have surrendered myself over to you and have turned my face towards You, and leave all my affairs to You and depend on You and put my trust in You expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment. there is no refuge nor escape from You except with You. I believe in the Book (Qur'an) which You have revealed and I believe in Your Prophet Sal-Allahu Alaihi wasallam whom You have sent.
Sahi Bukhari, Book 93, 580

Supplication Upon encountering an Enemy or those of authority:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ

Allaahumma 'innaa naj'aluka fee nuhoorihim wa na'oothu bika min shuroorihim.

O Allah, we ask You to restrain them by their necks and we seek refuge in You from their evil.

Abu Dawud 2/89, Al-Hakim.

The Prophet Sal-Allahu Alaihi Wasallam used to refuge from below four things

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لاَ يُسْمَعُ وَمَنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ
Allahumma inni Awuzubika min ilmin la yanfaa, Wa min duain la yusmaa, wa min qalbin la Yakhshaa, Wa min nafsin la tashbaa

One of the supplications that the Prophet peace be upon him used to say O Allah, I seek refuge with You from knowledge that is of no benefit, from a supplication that is not heard, from a heart that does not fear (You) and from a soul that is not satisfied

THE GRAVE IS DARK & LONELY

READING SURA-MULK EVERY NIGHT PROTECTS THE READER AGAINST THE PUNISHMENT OF THE GRAVE

'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (radhiAllahu 'anhu) said:
"Whoever reads ‘al-Mulk’ every night, Allaah will protect him from the torment of the grave. At the time of the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), we used to call it al-mani’ah (that which protects). In the Book of Allah, there is a chapter [and] whoever recites it every night has done very well."

[Sahih at-Targhib wat-Tarhib, no. 1475]

Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah’s Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,
"Verily, there is a chapter in the Qur’an which contains thirty Ayat that will intercede on behalf of its reciter until he is forgiven. (It is): ‘Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion.’"

[This Hadith was collected by At-Tirmidhi and the four Sunan Compilers. At-Tirmidhi said concerning it, “This is a Hasan Hadith.”]

He (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used to recite Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Mulk (in Arabic) before sleeping.

[Reference: At-Tirmithi, An-Nasa’i. See also Al-Albani, Sahihul-Jami ’ As-Saghir 4/255]

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) saying,

"There is a Surah in the Qur’an which contains thirty Ayat which kept interceding for a man until his sins are forgiven. This Surah is ‘Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion.’
(Surat Al-Mulk 67)."

[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud]

Commentary from Riyad-us-Saliheen:

This Hadith means that on the Day of Resurrection this Surah will intercede with Allaah for the forgiveness of its reciter. This Hadith has been narrated (in Arabic) in the past tense because, like the past indefinite, its occurrence is definite and not open to inquiry. At some places, however, it has also been narrated in the present tense.

Prophet {ﷺ} said;

"Whoever asks Allãh {ﷻ} Paradise three times, Paradise says: 'O Allãh, admit him into Paradise', and whoever seeks refuge from the Fire three times, the Fire says: 'O Allãh, save him from the Fire."

Jami` at-Tirmidhi, 2572
In-Book Reference: Book 38, Hadith 50

=> "Allãhumma Inni As'aluka Al Jannah"
=> "ya Allãh, I ask you for Jannah"

=> "Allãhumma Ajirni Minan Naar"
=> "ya Allãh, protect me from the Hell-fire"

Protection from Becoming Dependent on Others

اَللّٰهُمَّ اكْفِنِيْ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ ، وَأَغْنِنِيْ بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ.

Allāhumma-k-finī bi-ḥalālika ʿan ḥarāmik, wa aghninī bi-faḍlika ʿamman siwāk.

O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful against Your prohibited, and make me independent of all those besides You.

Alī (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that a Mukatib came to him and said: “Indeed I am not capable of my Kitabah (a contract of manumission between a master and a slave according to which the slave is required to pay a certain sum of money during a specific time period in exchange for freedom) so aid me.” He said: “Should I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me? If you had a debt upon you similar to the mountain of Sīr, Allah would fulfill it for you. He said: ‘Say: [the above]. (Tirmidhī 3563)

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say in his prayer:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ

Allaahumma inni a’oodhi bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram

O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from sin and heavy debt

Someone said to him: How often you seek refuge from heavy debt!

He said (ṣall Allahu ʿalayhi wa-’ālihi wa-sallam): When a man gets into debt, he speaks and tells lies, and he makes a promise and breaks it.

[Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 832 and Muslim, 589]

Hadith: Recite Surah Al-Kafirun then go to sleep , because it is a declaration of freedom from shirk (polytheism.)

Rasool-Allah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam said Recite Qul Ya Ayyuhalkafiroon... (Surah Al-Kafiroon) and then go to sleep, because it is a declaration of freedom from shirk (polytheism.)
