اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمْزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the disappearance of Your blessings, the reversal of Your protection, the suddenness of Your vengeance, and all that You dislike. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the instigations of the devils, and I seek refuge in You from their presence.
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatik, wa faja'ati niqmatik, wa jami'i sakhatik. Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min hamazatish-shayatin, wa a'udhu bika an yahdurun.
When to Read
This powerful dua is ideal to recite when you feel overwhelmed by negative thoughts, social pressures, or temptations.

You can also recite it during moments of personal struggle or when facing specific external influences that you find challenging to resist.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and a humble heart, raising your hands slightly as you implore Allah. Focus on the meaning of each phrase, truly internalizing your reliance on Him for protection.

Virtues & Benefits
