All blessings and peace be upon the Prophet of Allah. O Allah! Forgive me my sins and open the doors of Your mercy upon me. ( Ibni Maja Abwaabul Masaajid wal Ijtimaa`aat ) It is necessary to recite Bismillah before any virtuous act and, as such, we do the same upon entering the mosque. Then, we invoke blessings on the Holy Prophet sa, as he was the one who taught us the blessed Daily Prayers (Salat). Towards the end of this prayer, we seek God’s forgiveness of our sins so that we may present ourselves before Him in purity, at the time of Prayer(Salat). Finally, we invoke His mercy so that our worship is accepted by Him, and He is happy with us. 10.
