I seek refuge in Allah, the Almighty, and in His Noble Face and His Eternal Power from the accursed Satan. O Allah! Open to me the Gates of Your Mercy).” Upon leaving the Masjid, they should put forward their left foot and say: “Bismillah was-salatu was-salam ‘ala Rasulillah. Allahuma ini as’aluka min fadlika. Allahuma ‘adhni min al-shaytan il-rajim. (O Allah, I ask You of Your Bounty. O Allah! Protect me from the accursed Satan).” May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
