Prophetic Supplications: Facilitation of Affairs

Facilitation of Affairs

Anas ibn Malik says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Whoever recites this prayer every morning and evening, Allah, the Exalted, will appoint four angels to protect him from the front, behind, right, and left, and he will be safe in the protection of Allah, the Exalted. Even if all creatures, both jinn and humans, strive to harm him, they will be unable to do so. And the prayer is as follows:

    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

 بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ سَمٌّ وَ لاَ دَاءٌ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَ نَفْسِي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى عَقْلِي وَ دِينِي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا أَعْطَانِي رَبِّي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لاَ أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَعَزُّ وَ أَجَلُّ مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَ أَحْذَرُ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ .

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ سُلْطَانٍ شَدِيدٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ قَضَاءِ السُّوءِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا إِنَّكَ عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلّاَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ .

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 

In the name of Allah, the best of names. In the name of Allah, the Lord of the earth and the heavens. In the name of Allah, with whose name no poison or disease can harm. In the name of Allah, I rise, and I rely on Allah. In the name of Allah, upon my heart and soul. In the name of Allah, upon my intellect and religion. In the name of Allah, upon my family and wealth. In the name of Allah, upon what my Lord has given me. In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing in the earth or the heavens can harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.  Allah is my Lord; I do not associate anything with Him. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is greater and more exalted than what I fear and dread. Glory be to You, O Lord, and there is no deity but You. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul, and from the evil of every tyrant, and from the evil of every rebellious devil, and from the evil of every arrogant oppressor, and from the evil of bad decrees, and from the evil of every creature You are holding by its forelock. Indeed, You are on a straight path, and You are Allah, capable of all things. Indeed, my protector is Allah, who revealed the Book, and He takes care of the righteous. If they turn away, say: 'Allah is sufficient for me; there is no deity except Him. I rely on Him, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.
