We live in a world full of unseen dangers, from evil eye (Nazar) to black magic. However, Allah did not leave us defenseless. He gave us the 10 Most Powerful Verses in the Quran for Protection.
These verses act as a spiritual fortress. Therefore, memorizing and reciting them daily safeguards a believer and their family. In this guide, we will explore the significance of Ayat al-Kursi, explain the power of the 4 Qul, and identify the key Ruqyah verses and Healing verses for your safety.
The Foundation: Ayat al-Kursi
The most significant verse for protection is undoubtedly Ayat al-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255). The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) described it as the greatest verse in the Book of Allah.
Why is it so powerful? It describes Allah’s absolute authority and Ever-Living nature.
- Benefit: If you recite it before sleeping, Allah appoints a guardian angel to protect you until morning.
- Benefit: Reciting it after every obligatory prayer serves as a ticket to Paradise.
Consequently, Ayat al-Kursi stands as the primary shield against Shaitan.
The 4 Qul: The Ultimate Shield
When we speak of protection, we must include the 4 Qul. These are the four short Surahs that begin with the word “Qul” (Say).
- Surah Al-Kafirun: It protects against Shirk (polytheism).
- Surah Al-Ikhlas: It equals one-third of the Quran and affirms the Oneness of God.
- Surah Al-Falaq: It protects against the evil of created things and envy.
- Surah An-Nas: It protects against the whispers of Satan.
The Prophet (PBUH) recited the last three Surahs every night before sleep. Therefore, we should make the 4 Qul a permanent part of our nightly routine.
Ruqyah Verses and Healing Verses
The Quran contains specific lines known as Ruqyah verses. We use these for spiritual healing. Additionally, Healing verses (Ayat Ash-Shifa) cure physical and spiritual ailments.
For instance, Surah Al-Fatiha is the greatest Ruqyah. The Prophet (PBUH) approved its use to cure a scorpion sting. Moreover, the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah (Amanar-Rasul) suffice for anyone who recites them at night. They repel all evil.
