Have you ever felt as if you have been cursed by an evil eye? Or is there some inner fear, anxiety, or evil shadow always hovering around you? If yes, then you are not alone. In this fast-paced life, everyone is afraid of some kind of evil – whether it is human or invisible forces.
But Alhamdulillah, Islam has given us such treasures that can protect us from all kinds of evil. The most important among them is – “Dua to protect from every evil”. Dua for Protection from Everything.
Let us know, understand, and feel the power of this dua today. I will tell you in an easy and heart-touching way.
Why is it necessary to pray for protection from evil?
Every day when we step out of the house, we face so many glances, desires, and intentions. Some glances look with love, but some only with the intention to harm.
Sometimes our health suddenly deteriorates.
Unnecessary fights start.
Bad habits take over.
All this can be the result of evil. And this is when we are meant to turn to Allah – we should be returning right back now to Allah. Prayer is not just a word, it is the solace of the soul, the shield of the heart.
The most effective prayer – for protection from evil
Now let’s come to the main point – which prayer should be recited?
“A’udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim”
“اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَعـوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَـمِّ وَالْحَـزَنِ، وَالْعَجْـزِ وَالْكَسَـلِ، وَالْجُـبْنِ وَالْبُخْـلِ، “
This dua means:
“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from sorrow and worry, from weakness and laziness, from fear and stinginess, from the burden of debt and from the oppression of people.”
Brother, sister, just think! Can there be any more heart touching prayer than this? This dua is a shield which not only protects from the devil but also protects from every mental and worldly trouble.
When and how to read this dua?
Many people ask – “Does this prayer have to be recited at a particular time?” Listen friend, dua is a conversation with Allah. Read it whenever and wherever you want.
But some special occasions:
Right when you wake in the morning
While leaving the house
Before sleeping
In any difficulty or fear
Just read it from your heart, read it with faith, and see how Allah showers His blessings.
Prayer for the protection of children and family
When it comes to children, the heart trembles with fear. They are innocent, they are delicate. Every parent wants their child to be safe from evil.
There is a very lovely and effective dua:
“Urdu meaning:
I take refuge in you under the protection of Allah’s perfect words. I am a shield for you against every devil and every scorpion and every evil eye.
When this dua is recited with hands on the head of children, they come under the ambit of Allah’s mercy.
Effective Dua to protect from Nazar Bad
Nazar Bad is a reality. When someone’s eye falls on your good condition and the heart is filled with longing, then it definitely affects your condition.
Most famous and effective Dua:
Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas
These two Surahs should be recited three times a day – morning, evening and before sleeping. They not only ward off the evil eye, but also remove all kinds of evil forces.
What to do to protect the house?
Have you ever felt a strange restlessness in the house? Does the atmosphere seem heavy even when everything is fine? These could be signs that the shadow of some evil force is hovering over the house. In such a situation, it is not enough to just pray, but the house also has to be made spiritually safe.
What to do?
Listen to a part or the entire Surah of Surah Al-Baqarah daily.
Enter every room of the house after reciting Bismillah.
While going or coming on the threshold, recite “أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ”.
And the most important thing:
The sound of Azaan must echo in the house. Even if you offer Namaz in the mosque, giving Azaan at home brings both blessings and protection.
Prayer for relief from fear and confusion
Many people feel afraid without any reason. Inability to sleep at night, fear of darkness, or anxiety due to loneliness. All this could be the effect of satanic illusion.
Dua that gives peace to the heart:
“حسْبُنَا اللّهُ وَنِعْمُ الْوَكِيلُ”
Meaning – Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best creator.
There is such a power in this prayer which gives peace to the soul. When you feel anxious, recite it again and again and do so with faith. Allah’s name is a cure in itself.
Protection from Magic and Satanic Influence

“اللّهُ لاَ إِلـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ…” (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 255)

Learning from the life of the beloved Prophet ﷺ for safety
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sought refuge in Allah at all times. Whenever he set out on a journey, whenever someone troubled him, or whenever bad times came, he used to make a shield of prayers.
He had a lovely prayer:
“O Allah! Protect me from the front, and the back, and the right, and the left, and from above, and I take refuge in Your grandeur from being struck (by evil) from below me.
This prayer is an incomparable prayer of the Prophet (peace be upon him), which includes protection from all sides. Include it in your daily routine. You will see that every evil will go away on its own.
When someone keeps bothering you – which dua to recite?
Sometimes in life we meet people who trouble us without reason – taunt us, speak ill of us, or spread hatred. In such situations, the heart breaks and the mind gets tired.
But the Prophet ﷺ taught us that the best response to such people is patience and prayer.
Recite this dua:
“اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ”
Meaning – O Allah! Protect me from their evil, as you wish.
The man is openly complaining to Allah and pleading for help. When you recite it from the heart, Allah Himself brings your enemies to the right path – or distances you from them.
Prayer for safety during travel
Everyone fears accidents, theft, or any untoward incident while travelling. Therefore, it is very important to recite the prayer given by the beloved Prophet ﷺ before every journey.
“Meaning – Pure is that community which controlled it for us, otherwise we would not have had the strength in it. And we have to return only to our Lord.
This dua not only protects, but also makes the journey blessed by remembering Allah. Whether you are driving, on a train or in a flight – this dua will give peace to the heart.
Small habits to avoid everyday evils
Along with dua, it is important to develop some routine habits that create a spiritual circle around you.
What to do?
Start every work with Bismillah.
Never miss Namaaz-e-Fajr – it protects you for the whole day.
Perform the wazifa of Auzu Billah and Subhan Allah every evening.
Avoid unnecessary anger, quarrels and complaints.
And remember:
When you remember Allah, Allah also protects you from all evil.
How to increase faith in the power of prayer?
Many times people say – “We pray but it doesn’t work.” There is only one answer to this – patience and faith.
Dua is not a word it’s a feeling. When you pray, you call Allah. And Allah never ignores anyone’s call.
Keep some things in mind:
Don’t doubt after praying.
Don’t think “when will it happen?”
Do good deeds along with prayers.
Remember, Allah’s help comes late, but when it comes – it is amazing.
How to include Dua in your life?
Now the question is – “Will I be able to remember all these Duas every day?”
The answer is – yes, if you make it a part of your heart.
Small steps:
Wake up in the morning and recite 1 Dua before picking up the mobile.
Recite Dua on the head of the children while sending them to school.
Before going to sleep, take out 5 minutes just for Dua.
Look, we exercise for our health, work for money, take out time for relationships. So why not pray for the protection of our soul?
The result – there is no better protection than prayer
Life is not easy. There is a challenge at every turn, there is a test in every relationship, there are dangers on every path. But when there is prayer in the heart, the path becomes easy. When the name of Allah is on the lips, all evil retreats.
Remember:
“He who has no one, has Allah – and he who has found Allah, has found everything.”
