    We use to recite dua before entering the toilet to seek protection of Allah almighty from the devils that frequent places where there are impurities .

  7. Hafiz Hafeez Ur Rehman

    In Islam, there is a specific dua (supplication) that is recommended for Muslims to recite before entering the toilet. This practice is based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and is rooted in the principles of cleanliness and seeking protection from impurities. The dua is as follows:

    “Bismillahi, Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal khubuthi wal khaba’ith.”

    Translation: “In the name of Allah, O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the male and female unclean spirits (devils).”

    This dua serves several purposes:

    1. Seeking Protection: By reciting this dua, a Muslim is seeking protection from the influence of impure or malevolent forces when entering a place that is considered impure, such as a toilet. Islam places a strong emphasis on seeking protection from harmful spiritual influences.
    2. Reminding of Allah: Beginning an action or entering a place with the name of Allah (Bismillah) is a common Islamic practice. It serves as a reminder to maintain a connection with Allah in all aspects of life, even in routine activities.
    3. Emphasizing Cleanliness: Islam places a high importance on cleanliness and purity. The act of reciting this dua before entering the toilet is a way of reminding oneself of the need for cleanliness and hygiene, both physically and spiritually.
    4. Cultural Practice: Additionally, this practice has become a cultural norm in many Muslim-majority regions and is considered a respectful and pious way of entering and leaving the toilet.

    It’s worth noting that while this dua is recommended, it is not obligatory. However, it is encouraged as a means of increasing mindfulness of Allah and maintaining cleanliness and purity in daily life. Muslims are also encouraged to recite the dua after leaving the toilet as a way of expressing gratitude to Allah for the ability to relieve themselves and maintain cleanliness.

    A toilet is home to jins, so asking for god’s refugee before entering there is what our prophet has told us

    Allah humua inni aa oozobeka menal khubusi wal khabaais.

    I seek the refuge of Allah from unholier.
