To Be Safe From A Tyrant

Imam Kazim (A.S) said: “whoever reads surah al-Tawhid before meeting a tyrant, God will keep him safe from the tyrant’s defiance in every direction: one should recite it towars his front, back, right and left, and whoever does so, God will provide him with the tyrant’s goodness and prevent him from his evil, and the Imam further said: Whenever you are afraid of something, recite 100 verses from the Qur’an -from anywhere you want- then say the following for three times: 

اللَّهُمَّ اكْشِفْ عَنِّي الْبَلاَءَ  

O’ Lord! Drive affliction away from me. 

Al-Kafi (Islamic Edition), vol. 2, p. 621

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: “if someone says the following 10 times in their circumambulation around the Ka’bah, God will write forty-five good deeds for them.” 

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلّاَ اللَّهُ أَحَداً فَرْداً صَمَداً لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَداً. 

I testify that indeed, there is no god but Allah, the One, the Alone, the Omnipresent, He neither begat, nor was begotten, has neither taken any partner nor any son.
