Do not give Shaytan a place in your home

Shaykh Wahid Abdus Salam Bali has mentioned a few small practices — and the beginning is right at the door of the home. None of them is difficult, yet this is exactly how Shaytan's place shrinks.

How the scene unfolds

The door is opened and the house is entered in silence. No name on the lips, no salam to anyone — straight into the house.

Inside, music plays all day. TV, phone, speaker — not for a single moment is the sound of the Qur'an heard anywhere.

Even the sunnah prayers are not performed at home. The house becomes only a place for eating, sleeping and quarreling.

Then one day it occurs to you — why is there no peace in this house? Shaykh Bali's answer begins right at the door.

The Shaykh's answer

As soon as you enter the house, say Bismillah, then salam — your wife and children will respond. The first two items on the list end right here.

After that, remove music from the house — in the Shaykh's words, that is the flute of Shaytan. Recite Surah Al-Baqarah in the house once every three days. And pray the sunnah prayers at home — prayer at home increases barakah and light in the house.

Evidence — the house where Al-Baqarah is recited

لَا تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ، إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ

Do not turn your houses into graveyards. Indeed, Shaytan flees from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited. (Sahih Muslim 780)Copy

The Prophet ﷺ also said — when a person mentions Allah's name on entering his home and at mealtime, Shaytan says to his companions: There is no place for you to spend the night here, and no dinner. (Sahih Muslim 2018)

What to do

1. As soon as you enter the house, say Bismillah, then give salam to your family.
2. Remove music from the house; let the recitation of the Qur'an be in its place.
3. Recite Surah Al-Baqarah in the house at least once every three days.
4. Apart from the obligatory prayers, pray the sunnah prayers at home — prayer at home is best. (Sahih Muslim 781)
