When you visit an invalid acquaintance in his home, wait at the door before you enter and ask for permission! Enter with the Basmala, take a seat on the invalid’s right hand side, make the selâm, (i.e. say, “Selâmun ’alaikum,”) as you enter, and ask the invalid how they feel! Advise them a medicine if you know one. Say the Kelima-i-shehâdat loud enough for the invalid to hear, and wish them a quick recovery. Do not sit too long with the invalid! Meet their needs if there are any! As you leave, pray for their rapid recovery!

Enter your house with the Basmala, (i.e. say, “Bism-Illahir- Rahmân-ir-Rahîm,” as you enter!) If you have time say the Sûra called Ikhlâs! Our blessed Prophet ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ stated: “A person who says the Ikhlâs-i-sherîf as he enters his house will never experience destitution.” Owing to this advice on the part of our blessed Prophet ‘’alaihis-salâm’, Suheyl ‘radiy- Allâhu ’anh’, one of the Sahâba, became rich. Enter your house with your right foot and make the Salâm! If there is no one in the house, you can make the Salâm as follows: “Es-salâmu ’alaina wa ’alâ ’ibâdih-illâh-is-sâlihîn.” In the meantime, if you say the Sûra that reads, “Qul-Huwallâhu...,” once, and the Âyat-al-kursî, once, the Satan will not be able to enter your house. Whatever you are to do, begin doing it with the Basmala! Begin doing something such as eating with your right hand! Sit at the meal table altogether. After a meal say the prayer to be said after eating and thereafter say the Sûra that reads, “Qul-Huwallâhu...!” After a meal, it is not something that will be useful to your body to drink water till after an hour has elapsed.
