Getting ALLAH’s Perfect Refuge
The danger of getting the influence of Shaitan is everywhere and at any time. We try our best to save ourselves but He comes up with the newest tricks and manipulations. The only way is to ask ALLAH repeatedly for His refuge.
We usually say to save us : أعوذُ بِٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ (I seek refuge in ALLAH from rejected shaitan)
But the refuge from ALLAH we don’t need only for safety from shaitan. There are other things from those, we need refuge in His Rahmah. Some of them are our own “nafs” and closely related to it; our “desires”.
We may say أَعـوذُبِكَلِمـاتِ اللهِ التَّـامَّـاتِ مِنْ شَـرِّ ما خَلَـق (I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of ALLAH from the evil of what He has created)
These are all authentic words validated by our beloved Rasulullah Muhammadﷺ
Let us learn another beautiful dua for this purpose which is also from the hadith of our Nabiﷺ
This dua will save our moment and take us to ALLAH’s safe refuge when we feel we may lose our cool temper, we may do something seriously wrong or we can be dragged with one of our undue desire.
So whenever we feel the danger of getting involved in something wrong, read this with an honest request for ALLAH ArRaheem, AlKareem's refuge. He will in sha ALLAH grant us refuge and guide us to a better way out of the situation.
