Waqad Manaatannasa an-yadkhulu Illaa biiznih, and you have forbidden people from entering this holy house except with their permission.

• At this stage you should mention the name of the Imam whose shrine you are visiting. • Wal Malaeekatihil muwakkilina bihadhihil buq’atil mubarakati thalitha: And I humbly seek the permission of the specific angels who have been allocated to this holy Shrine I seek the permission to gain entrance.

Aadkhulu Ya RasulallAllah? O Prophet may I please enter? • If at this stage, tears start flowing from your eyes, your heart feels soft, you should take this as the sign that the Imam has spiritually granted you the permission and that you may now enter the Holy Shrine. With these feelings you should then slowly proceed in small steps as if you are a slave, who has come to the court of his master.
