Evening Adhkar
Protection From the Four Evils
×1once
اَللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَّمَلِيْكَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَّا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِيْ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ، وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلٰى نَفْسِيْ سُوْءًا أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إِلٰى مُسْلِمٍ.
Allahumma fatiras-samawati wal-ard, 'alimal-ghaybi wash-shahadah, Rabba kulli shay'iw-wa malikah, ash-hadu al-la ilaha illa anta, a'udhu bika min sharri nafsi, wa min sharrish-shaytani wa shirkih, wa an aqtarifa 'ala nafsi su'an aw ajurrahu ila muslim.
O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Lord and Sovereign of all things — I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek refuge in You from the evil within myself, from the evil of Satan and his incitement toward associating partners with You, and from bringing harm on myself or drawing it toward another Muslim.
Virtue: A morning and evening dua the Prophet ﷺ specifically instructed his companions to hold onto.
The four evils named here are internal, not external — your own self, Satan's suggestion, and the harm you might cause yourself or someone else.
