DUA FOR SAFETY FROM CALAMITIES
Transliteration: Allah-humma, anta rabbi, laa ilaaha illaa Anta, 'alaika tawakkaltu wa anta rabbul 'arshil
kareem maashaa Allahu kaana wa maLam yasha' lam yakun-wa laa hawla wa lla quwwata illaa bil-Laahil
A'liyyil 'Atheem. A'lamu annallaaha 'alaa kulli shay in qadiyrun-wa annallaaha qad ahaata bikulli shay in
ilmaa. Allah-humma inni a'uthu bika min sharri nafsiy wa min sharri kulli daabbatin anta aakhithum bi
naasiyatihaa inna rabiy 'alaa siraatim mustaqiym.
Translation: “O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You, I put my trust in You, You are the Lord of
the Mighty Throne. Whatever Allah wills will happen and what He does not will, cannot happen. There is no
power or strength except with Allah, the Exalted, the Mighty. I know that Allah has power over all things,
and Allah comprehends all things in knowledge. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of myself and
from the evil of all creatures under Your control. Surely the straight way is my Sustainer’s way“
It is reported in Ibnus Sunni from Talq Ibn Habib that someone came to tell Hazrat Abu Darda (R.A)
that his house was on fire. Hazrat Abu Darda (R.A) (without any concern replied that his house was
certainly not on fire, Allah will never do so because I have heard from Rasulullah (s.a.w) that if a
person recites these words in the beginning of the day, no calamities will befall him till evening and if
read in the evening then no calamities will befall the reader till morning.
In another narration it is stated that calamities will neither befall the reader of this dua nor his wife and
children nor whatever he owns. Hazrat Abu Darda (R.A) said: “In the morning i had recited these
words, therefore, how can my house be on fire?” He then said to the people: “Let us go and see”.
Together they went towards his house. It was seen that his entire street was on fire and the houses all
around Abu Darda’s were burnt, but, amidst this, his own house was safe and sound. (Al - Azkaar)
Allaahumma inna naj'aluka fee nuhoorihim
wa na'oodhu bika min shuroorihim
O Allah, We ask You to face them (deal with
them and destroy them), and we seek refuge in
You from any harm that may come to us from
their side. (Recite 11 times after every Fardh namaz)

"O Allah! Shower blessings on
Muhammad, our Master, and
his Family such blessings by
means of which Thou may
relieve us of all anxieties and
calamities. Thou may satisfy
all our needs. Thou may clean
us of all evils and thanks for
which Thou may grant us high
position and high rank and
status in Thy presence, and
Thou may lead us to the
utmost limit of our aspirations
and capacity in whatever is
best in this world as well as in
the world Hereafter, as Thou
has the full Power over
everything"
