Section: Your Protection Adhkar
116
As we mentioned earlier from Ibn Taymeeyah, if you do Ruqyah for the sake of Allah then he will protect you and this is obviously to do with thinking well of Allah.The additional things you can do for protection are:1. Keeping away from committing major sins or continuously doing the same minor sins.2. Morning and evening adhkar (please refer to the book Hisnul Muslim)3. The Quls after every salah.4. Adkhar before sleeping, the minimum being the Quls and Ayah Kursi5. Praying 2 rakah protection salah before you leave your home and then praying them again when you enter your home 6. After magrib and fajr prayers, you say the below dhikr 10 times before you speak to anyone, reply to someone’s salam or move out of the tashahud position. Through this dhikr, Allah will protect you from every harm and He will also protect you from the shaytan. There is also a lot of reward to be gained from saying this dhikr. لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ Transliteration: Laa ‘ilaaha ‘illallaahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu yuhyee wa yumeetu wa Huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in Qadeer.Translation: None has the right to be worshiped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He brings life and He causes death, and He is Able to do all things. (Ten times after the Maghrib and Fajr prayers.)(At-Tirmizi 5/515, Ahmad 4/227, Zadul-Ma’ad 1/300).7 Ajwa Dates For Protection Against SihrEating 7 ajwa dates in the morning gives you protection against sihr because of the hadith:Al-Bukhaari (5445) and Muslim (2047) narrated from Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqaas that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever eats seven ‘ajwah dates in the morning, will not be harmed by any poison or witchcraft that day.”We would NOT recommend that you take 7 ajwa dates everyday but you should take them whenever you feel that someone is trying to do sihr on you or when you visit a particular house, city, region or country that is well known for sihr.Because of the situation you may find yourself in, it may mean that you occasionally take 7 ajwa dates for 2 or 3 weeks continuously or until the threat of sihr disappears.You should take the 7 ajwa dates on an empty stomach after praying fajr and you should wait an hour for them to digest and then you may have your breakfast.
