Make wuḍu, offer two rak‘ats and make sincere du‘a’. Du‘a’, especially in tahajjud, brings great reprieve and assistance from Allah (ﷻ).Make abundant and sincere istighfar (seeking forgiveness from Allah ﷻ), and stay away from sins. One should restore people’s rights if they have wronged anyone or taken anything unjustly.Give Sadaqah as it wards off calamity (Bayhaqi). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Treat your sick by giving Sadaqah.” (Bayhaqi)Remove animate pictures from the home. Any amulets (ta‘widh) which contain illegible text or invokes upon other than Allah should also be taken out and disposed of in a river.Remain in a state of wuḍu through the day and also sleep with wuḍu.
