How can we protect us from devil
1. Seeking Refuge in Allah: The most fundamental protection is to seek refuge in Allah. Before doing anything important, especially reciting the Qur'an, Muslims say:
"A'udhu billahi minash shaytaanir rajeem."
Translation: "I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected."
This declaration is a powerful way to put oneself under ALLAH's protection and show that one is not relying on personal strength but on divine protection.
2. Reciting the Qur'an: The Qur'an is considered a source of immense spiritual power and protection.
Surah Al-Baqarah: It is believed that reciting the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah protects from any harm. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that Shaytan flees from a house in which
Surah Al-Baqarah is recited.
3. Ayat al-Kursi: This is a powerful verse (2:255) in the Qur'an. The Prophet (PBUH) said that whoever recites it before sleeping will be protected by ALLAH, and no Shaytan will come near them until the morning.
4. Surah Al-Falaq (113) and Surah An-Nas (114): These two chapters are often recited together for protection from all forms of evil, including evil whispers, envy, and the devil's harm.
5. Remembering Allah (Dhikr): Constantly remembering God through prayer (salat), praising Him (tasbih), and asking for forgiveness (istighfar) keeps one's heart and mind focused on ALLAH and away from Shaytan's whispers.
6. Performing Righteous Deeds: Living a life of good deeds, such as being kind, honest, generous, and helping others, strengthens one's faith and builds a spiritual barrier against evil.
7. Controlling Anger: Shaytan uses anger to make people lose control and do things they will regret. The Prophet (PBUH) advised that when one feels angry, they should seek refuge in Allah.
8. Avoiding Sins and Temptations: Shaytan's main goal is to lead people to commit sins. By consciously staying away from what is forbidden in Islam, one closes the doors that Shaytan uses to influence them.
In short, the protection from Shaytan comes from a conscious effort to strengthen one's relationship with God, live a righteous life, and constantly seek God's help and refuge from evil.
