A blessed house means a house full of goodness and always guided by Allah, the most glorified, the most high.

We hope that with the endowed house that we live in, it will always be attended by angels and kept away from satan. Because, the presence of angels in our house will bring an atmosphere of tranquility, spaciousness, peace, and coolness.

Therefore, in order for our house to be blessed by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, it is necessary to note the following tips.

Reading the Qur'an

How beautiful is it t hat every house may sound to you from Allah's revelations? By reading the Qur'an, the angel of mercy will come down bringing goodness and tranquility in our homes. A house that is not recited by the Qur'an is like a tomb. In fact, there are still residents in it.

Start at our house. Chant qur'anic verses by reading directly or listening to murattal tapes/CDs every day.

Don't hesitate, and don't be pessimistic. It's never too late. Keep on learning. Allah rewards his servants who are serious about learning the Qur'an.

"The one who reads the Qur'an with a stammer and finds it difficult then for him two rewards." (Muslim History)

Our example of the Messenger of Allah 'alaihi wasallam said: "Verily the house will be spacious for its inhabitants, will be visited by angels, shunned by demon, and will be inundated with good in it. And Allah is all-knowing, all-dwellers. (History of Ad-Darimi)

The Qur'an is the source of God's reward and mercy Subhanahu Wata'ala. "Whoever reads one letter of the Qur'an, for him is one reward and will be multiplied to tenfold. ' Alif laam miim' is not one letter, but alif one letter, laam one letter and miim one letter." (Tirmidhi history)

Say a Prayer

Praying is only to God, the Creator. Praying is the culmination of worship that depicts the meeting of a servant with the Khaliq.

We are encouraged to read prayers when entering the house, and to read prayers when leaving the house. In fact, that's not all. Every activity in our home should be to read a prayer. God is happy if there is a servant who prays.

In a Hadith the Messenger of Allah 'alaihi wasallam said, "You ask God for His grace. Indeed, Allah is pleased to be asked. (History of Tirmidhi and Abu Nu'aim)

The prayer is the essence of worship (Al-Bukhari History). The prayer was his brain worship (Narrated by Ibn Hiban and Tirmidhi).

When My servants ask you about Me, they say, "I am near." When he prays to Me, let them respond to Me, and let them believe in Me, that they may be true to the truth." (QS: Al-Baqarah [2]: 186

Many of us get various kinds of prayers, both contained in the Qur'an and al-Hadith. Various prayers can be prayed every day so that the house that we live in is always blessed by God.

There are several ethics in prayer that must be considered:

Performed at a glorious time: the month of Ramadan suhoor (pre-dawn meal) time, and Friday.

Performed in solemn circumstances: the time of prostration, when the heart is clean and calm.

Facing the Qibla and raising your hands.

Lowering the voice.

Using simple language, which shows humility Preferably prayer derived from the Qur'an, the Prophet 'alaihi wasallam, and Companions.

Humble and subjugate.

Believing his prayer will be answered by God.

Starting the prayer by mentioning the name of God and blessings on the Prophet 'alaihi wasallam (Imam al-Ghazali in Ihya Ulumuddin).

Establishing Prayer

We are encouraged to pray a lot of Sunnah at home.  Perform the sunnah Rawatib prayers, which are sunnah prayers that accompany the obligatory prayers in our homes. For example, praying before and after Dzuhur prayer, before and after Isya', and before Dawn prayer. In addition, Tahajud also performs prayer, and Duha prayer.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Make your prayers at home, do not make your house like a graveyard." That is, sunnah prayer for men at home. As for men, it is obligatory for men to pray in the mosque, while for women at home.

Tahajud Prayer

Tahajud prayer is a Sunnah prayer performed at night until the dawn.

The Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wasallam explained about the virtues of Tahajud prayer in a Qudsi Hadith: "Our Lord descends every night to the heavens of the world, when only the last third of the night. He said, "Whoever begs me, I will accept him, and whosoever asks me, I will give him, and whosoever begs My forgiveness, I will forgive him." (Narrated by Malik, Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, and others from Abu Hurairah)

Even the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioned the virtues of other Tahajud prayers. From Abdullah ibn Salman Radiyallahu anhu (He said): Verily the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O men, send greetings, greet the poor, and pray at night while people are sleeping, then you will enter Paradise in peace." (Tirmidhi history)

Ibn 'Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "Whoever prays at night for two rak'ahs is considered to have spent the night for Allah's cause by prostrating himself and standing." (Mentioned by An-Nawawi in At-Tibyan p. 95)

Dhuha Prayer

Dhuha prayer is a Sunnah prayer whose time is between 7.00 am to 11.00 pm. The number of rakaat is at least two rakaats, at most twelve rakaats.

From Aisha Radiyallahu anha, he said: The Messenger of Allah 'alaihi wasallam usually pray Duha four rakaat and he sometimes adds to it according to what God wants. (Muslim History)

In other histories it is mentioned. From Abi Dzar Radiyallahu anhu of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) 'alaihi wasallam. He said: "Every morning there is an obligation for every joint to give charity. Every prayer is alms, every alms tahmid, every alms tahmid, every alms takbir, advocating good alms, as well as preventing evil, and simply replace it all with the sunnah Dhuha prayer two rakaats." (Muslim History)

For those who diligently pray Dhuha, then he will be forgiven his sins. "Whoever prays Dhuha lastingly will be forgiven for his sins by God, even if the sin is as much as the froth in the sea." (to be continued)
