As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It's your Sunnah Infographics Family here..
Hope your well and in good health!
First question of the day.
When was the last time you left your home?
And returned safely?
Not always guaranteed.
How many times have we exited our homes..
And suffered trauma..
or got caught in an accident..
Or had an awful experience.
Infact..
Some people never return home…
SubhanAllah..
So whats the best way to ensure our safety.
The safety of our families, our children and our communities..
Once they leave that door.
Let’s take a step outside to learn more...
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Ghafir (The Forgiver) - (40:60)
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدْعُونِىٓ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ
And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (Islamic Monotheism)] (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship [i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, (Islamic Monotheism)] they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"
1 Hadith
‘Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever says when he leaves his house, ‘In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah for there is no movement or might but in Allah,’ then it will be said to him that you have been sufficed and protected, and the devils will be far from him.”

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ قَالَ يَعْنِي إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ يُقَالُ لَهُ كُفِيتَ وَوُقِيتَ وَتَنَحَّى عَنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ

Reflection Point
In the life of a human being..
There has always existed an abode and place of dwelling.
From the time of cavemen who lived in rocks and mountains.
To 21st century homes with automated living conditions.
But what do they both have in common?
We enter..
And we exit..
Multiple times in a day..
Without ever really knowing if our return is guaranteed!
How many have left their homes…
Never to return..
How many have left their homes...
And their health condition has altered dramatically upon return.
How many have left their homes..
And returned with loss of wealth and provision.
Do not take returning home safe and secure for granted.
It's a great true blessing upon us.
That we often overlook.
So how do we seek this protection?
Answer.
By calling upon Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى the only one who can protect you.
For verily he is Al-Muhaymin.
The Preserver of Safety & Overseeing Protector.
Alhamdullilah.
So when leaving your dwelling..
Call upon Allah by reciting this dua:
“Bismil-lah, tawakkaltu AAalal-lah, wala hawla wala quwwata illa billah.
In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.”
In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.”
This week, your task is to memorise this dua!
And more importantly..
Remember to say it everytime you leave your home!
To help you.
If thats not enough..
Here's a hack!
Our Infographics are perfectly designed for printing and sticking on the wall!
Simply print out the Infographic in A4/A5 Size paper.
Laminate it (if your able)..
And stick it right next to the front door of your house!
This way the entire family, children, guests and visitors can't miss it..
And you receive the reward!
But for that peace of mind..
If really you want your heart to be at rest.
As your loved ones leave the home...
Ensure that you nurture them upon this Sunnah.
Anticipating a safe return for all..
Insha Allah
