Virtues & Benefits
This dua invokes Allah's perfect protection against unseen harms such as evil whispers (shayatin) and the malevolent influence of the evil eye ('aynin lammati). By seeking refuge in Allah's words, we are acknowledging His absolute power and our complete dependence on Him for the safety and well-being of our little ones as they open their eyes to this dunya. It's a profound act of 'ibaadah (worship) and tawakkul (reliance on Allah).

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to seek refuge for Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them) saying: 'I seek refuge for you both in the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and every beast, and from every evil eye.' Then he would say: 'Verily, your Lord is the best protector.' (Sahih al-Bukhari 3105, Sahih Muslim 2047)
