• Dua for Protection:
Aʿūdhu bi-wajhillāhi al-Karīm
wa bi kalimātillahi al-tāmmāt
al-latī lā yujāwizuhunna barrun wa lā fājir
min sharri mā yanzilu min al-samāʾ
wa min sharri mā yaʿruju fīhā
wa min sharri mā dharaʾa fil-arḍ

wa min fitani al-layli wal-nahār

illā ṭāriqan yaṭruqu bi-khayrin yā Raḥmān

Translation:
I seek refuge in Allah’s Noble Countenance
and in Allah’s perfect words
which neither the righteous nor the disobedient overstep
from evil that descends from the heavens
and evil that ascends to it
and evil that is created in the earth
and the trials of night and day
and the visitors of night and day
save the visitor that visits goodness upon us,
O Most Merciful!
