Sunnahs on Entering Toilet

Sunnahs And Duas Upon Entering And Leaving The Toilet – Part 2

7.        Before entering the toilet, remove any ring etc, upon which any Aayat or the name of Rasulullah (Prophet Muhammad) is visible (Nasai). If a Ta’weez is covered with a cloth and sewn, it will be permissible to enter the toilet while wearing it

8.        When relieving oneself do not face the Qibla nor turn the back towards it.

9.        When relieving oneself, do not speak except out of absolute necessity. Also, do not engage in any Zikr whilst in the toilet.

10.     Be extremely careful and ensure that droplets of urine and stool do not splash upon one as most of the punishment of the grave is due to not protecting oneself from urine splashes.

11.     Do not touch the private parts with the right hand during istinjaa. Use the left hand for this purpose.

12.     Where a toilet is not available, relieve oneself behind some barrier so that one is not exposed to others.

13.     Search for soft ground (when relieving oneself in the open) so that the urine does not splash but is rather absorbed into the ground.

14.     Sit and urinate. Do not urinate while standing.

15.     After urinating, if one needs to dry himself he should do so behind some barrier (i.e. wall etc.)

16.     Perform Wudhu according to the Sunnat at home.

17.     Perform the Sunnats  at home before going to the  Masjid.  If there is no time for this, the same could be performed in the Masjid.

Note: In today’s times, due to Sunnats being neglected, it is preferable to perform them in the Masjid.

Sunnahs And Duas Upon Entering And Leaving The Toilet – Part 1

1.        For the purpose of istinjah, take along water and lumps of clay. To use three lumps of clay or three stones is mustahab (preferable). If circumstances prevail, then this will be sufficient. Due to (clay lumps), difficulties are experienced in flushing the toilets. Thus, the Ulama have advised that toilet paper should be used so that the flush is not spoilt.

2.        It was the practice of Rasulullah to visit the toilet with his head covered and with his shoes on.

3.        Before entering the toilet recite this dua:
Dua on Entering Toliet(Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibne Majah)
Trans:   O Allah! I seek your protection from the male and female Jinns.
Note: Mullah Ali Qari (R.A) has written in Mirqaat that with the blessings of the recitation of this dua, a veil is cast between the person visiting the toilet and the evil Jinns. Hence they are unable to see one’s private parts. He has also written that the () of the word can be read with either a dhamma (Pesh) or a Saakin (Jazm).

4.        When entering the toilet, enter with the left foot.

5.        When removing the undergarment, it is better to lower oneself towards the ground as much as easily possible and thereafter remove the garment.

6.        When coming out from the toilet, step out with the right foot first and then recite this dua:

Dua on Leaving ToiletTrans:   O Allah! I seek forgiveness from you. All praise is due to Allah who removed from me that which was harmful and granted me safety.

Leaders in Islam!

The Janazah of Khawaja Bakhtiyar Kaki Rahmatullahi Alaih was ready for Namaz e Janaza. The khadim-e-khas of Khwaja Sahab came forward and announced that according to the will of  Khawaja the funeral prayer (salat-ul-janazah) is to be led by the person who fulfills these 3 requirements:

1. He should have never laid eyes on any unrelated women (non-mehram) after reaching puberty.

2. He should have never missed the 4 rakat of sunnah-prayer (ghair-muakkidah) before asr salah.

3. Because of the fear and awe of Allah, he never looked upwards towards heavens.

The huge crowd stood still. All the Awliya of Dehli and Shaykh’s senior khulafa were there. No one came forward. TheKhadim repeatedly announced the requirements. But there was no response. A sense of impatience was being felt.

Finally, The Sultan of Delhi , Sultan Shamusddin Altamash (Allah have mercy on him) stepped forward.

He remarked, “No one knew my secret, the respected Khawaja  disclosed it. All praise is for Allah, I fullfil these criteria”.

He then led the prayers.
