Amazing litany for blessings in earnings

Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān NaꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said:

When entering the home, one should recite بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم and enter the right foot first in the doorway. Then, greeting his household with salam, he should enter inside. If no one is inside, he should recite اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیْکَ اَیُّہاَ النَّبِیُّ وَ رحْمَۃُ اللہِ وَ بَرَکاتُہ ٗ. It is seen from some righteous people that when they enter their homes at the beginning of the day, they recite بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم and Surah al-Ikhlāṣ. This maintains family unity and brings blessings in earnings.^[2]

Make children habitual of reciting بِسْمِ اللہِ

Prophet ꜤĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام passed by a grave in which the inhabitant was being punished. After some time, he passed by it again and noted the grave was illuminated and the mercy of Allah was descending upon it. He was surprised, and asked Allah to reveal the secret behind why this had happened.

He was told, “O ꜤĪsā! This man was punished due to being a severe sinner. At the time of his passing, his wife was expecting a child. She gave birth to a son, who was sent to a madrassah today. The teacher taught him بِسْمِ اللہِ. My mercy means I shall not punish someone on earth whose child is mentioning my name upon it.”^[3]
