Formula for Protection

The world is a messy place. Sometimes we need protection from negative forces, other people or even our own warped selves. On that note, I wanted to share a Quranically based formula that was recently given to me that is truly wonderful. By the way, where I mention source, I do so for reference only. One is not meant to recite the whole verse but just the portion copied below. If you cannot read Arabic kindly send me a note and I'll forward you the transliteration. I'm just too tired to put that here as I don't have diacriticals on my laptop at the moment.

• 1x say the entire Fatihah

• 3x say 1:5 إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين (this is from the Fatiha)

• 7x say 21:87 أَن لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ (this is Yunus' dua when he was in the whale)

• 3x say 22:38 إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ

• 3x say 61: 13 نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّـهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ
