When you want your house to be protected in the evening, very simple before you say Bismillah hi tawakaltu 'alallah, In the name of Allah, I lay my trust in Allah, you should lock your door. And then you say, I lay my trust in Allah. When you're driving before you say Bismillah you make sure you've taken all necessary precautions, you would be foolish. If you drove in a very
