أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
“I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.”
A'udhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq
— Sahih Muslim 2708
Three times every evening
Protection from harmful creatures and evil. The Prophet (PBUH) recommended this especially when stopping at a place during travel.
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
“Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.”
Quran 2:255 — Al-Baqarah
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا وَبِكَ نَحْيَا وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ
“O Allah, by You we enter the evening and by You we enter the morning, by You we live and by You we die, and to You is the final destination.”
Sunan at-Tirmidhi 3391
