About protection duas

Supplications for seeking refuge in Allah from harm, evil, envy, and difficulty. Several come directly from the Quran, such as Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas.

Muslims commonly recite them as part of daily adhkar or when feeling worried or afraid. They are acts of worship and reliance on Allah, not a substitute for ordinary precautions or for medical care.
