DUĀ'U LIL-HIRZ WA LI-QAHR AL-A‘ADĀ' (PRAYER FOR PROTECTION & FOR CONQUERING THE ENEMIES)

Transliterated & Translated by: Isma'eel Bakare

Arabic

اللهم يا محيي الرّفات, ويا دافع الآفات, ويا واقي المخافات, ويا كريم المكافاة, ويا موئل العُفاة ويا وليّ العفوَ والمعافاة, صلِّ على محمد خاتم أنبيائك ومبلّغ أنبائك, وعلى مصابيح أسرته, ومفاتيح نصرته, وأعذني وأولادي وأزواجي وأهلي وذريتي, من نزعات الشياطين, ونزوات السلاطين, وإعنات الباغين ومعاداة العادين وعدوان المعادين, وغلب الغالبين, وسلب السالبين, وحيل المحتالين, وغِيلٍ المغتالين, وأجدني اللهم من جور المجاورين, ومجاورة الجائرين, وكفّ عنّي أكفّ الضائمين وأخرجني من ظلمات الظالمين, وأدخلني برحمتك في عبادك الصالحين.

اللهم حطني في تربتي وغيبتي, وغربتي وأوبتي, ونجعتي ورجعتي, وتصرّفي ومُنصرفي, وتقلّبي ومنقلبي, واحفظني في نفسي ونفائسي, وعِرْضي وعَرَضَي وعَددَي وعُدَدي, وسكني ومسكني, وحولي وحالي, ومالي ومآلي, ولا تلحق بي تغييرا, ولا تسلّط عليّ مغيراً, واجعل لي من لدنك سلطاناً نصيراً.

اللهم احرسني بعينك وعونك, واخصصني بأمنك ومنّك, وتولّني باختيارك وخيرك, ولا تكلني إلى كلاءة غيرك, وهبْ لي عَافيةً غير عَافية, وارزقني رفاهيةً غير واهية, واكفني مخاشيَ اللأواء, واكنفني بغواشي الآلاء, ولا تظفرْ بي أظفار الأعداء, إنك سميع الدعاء.
