Dua for Protection from Calamities
Arabic
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ، أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.

Allahumma anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, ‘alaika tawakkaltu, wa anta Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Azim, ma sha’ Allahu kana wa ma lam yasha’ lam yakun, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil-‘Aliyyil-‘Azim, a’lamu anna Allaha ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir, wa anna Allaha qad ahata bikulli shay’in ‘ilma, Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min sharri nafsi, wa min sharri kulli dabbatin anta akhidhun binasiyatiha, inna Rabbi ‘ala siratin mustaqim.
Translation
O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity except You. Upon You, I place my trust, and You are the Lord of the Mighty Throne. Whatever Allah wills happens, and whatever He does not will does not happen. There is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Exalted, the Great. I know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah encompasses all things in knowledge. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil of every creature that You have control over. Surely, my Lord is on a straight path.
Reference: It is reported that Talq Ibn Habib said:
“A man came to Hazrat Abu Darda (R.A) and said, ‘O Abu Darda, your house has caught fire!’ Hazrat Abu Darda (R.A) replied, ‘No, it has not. Allah will never do that because of the words that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). Whoever recites these words in the morning, no calamity will befall him until the evening, and whoever recites them in the evening, no calamity will befall him until the morning.’ And indeed, nothing happened to his house.”
In another narration, it is mentioned that Hazrat Abu Darda (R.A) said:
“Whoever recites this supplication, no calamity will befall him, nor his family, nor anything he owns.”
This powerful supplication was narrated by Talq Ibn Habib and is reported in “Kitab al-Fawa’id” by Ibnus Sunni. But this is a very weak Hadith. So you can read this dua because the meaning of this dua is really good. But you should not belive that it has come from the Prophet Muhammad (P.U.B.H). Allah knows best.

In Islam, a single dua often holds deep, multi-faceted meanings and can address various aspects of life. That’s why you might notice some repetition in my writing—it’s because many duas overlap in the guidance and mercy they bring into our lives.

So, if it feels like I’m repeating myself, know that it’s with the intention of sharing these precious reminders in every way I can.

I also pray that He considers this effort a means of salvation for us in this world and the hereafter. Whatever is good in my writing is entirely a blessing from Allah Almighty, and any faults are due to Satan (Devil) and my own lack of knowledge. JazakAllah. (Thank you).
