HOLY PROPHET'S PRAYER FOR SECURITY
Twelfth: This supplicatory prayer is ascribed to the Holy Prophet (s) who used to say it for security against jinn and human beings:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ
There is no god but Allah.
عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
In Him do I put my trust
وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيْمِ
and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.
مَا شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ كَانَ
What Allah wills shall come to pass,
وَ مَالَمْ يَشَاْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
but what He does not will shall never come to pass.
اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّشَيْئٍ قَدِيْرٌ
I bear witness that Allah has power over all things
وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْئٍ عِلْمًا
and Allah has encompassed all things in His knowledge.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّىْۤ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِىْ
O Allah, I pray Your protection against the evils of my self
وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ اَنْتَ اٰخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَاۤ
and against the evil of every living creature that You hold by its forelock.
اِنَّ رَبِّىْ عَلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيْمٍ۔
Surely, my Lord is on the right path.
