(يَبْدَأُ بِرِجْلِهِ اليُمْنَى)[1]، ويقول: (أَعُوْذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ، وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ، مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ)[2]، (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَالصَّلاةُ)[3]. [وَالسَّلامُ عَلَى رَسُوْلِ اللَّهِ][4]، (اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ)[5].

(Enter with your right foot[1] and say:) “I take refuge with Allāh, the Supreme and with His Noble Face, and His eternal authority from the accursed devil.[2] In the name of Allāh, and prayers[3] and peace be upon the Messenger of Allāh.[4] O Allāh, open the gates of Your mercy for me.”[5]
