- It is narrated by Anas (may Allah have mercy on him): The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say,
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
"O, Allah! Our Lord! Give us in this world that, which is good and in the Hereafter that, which is good and save us from the torment of the Fire."[2]
It is narrated from Umm Salamah (may Allah have mercy on her) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) performed the Subh (Morning Prayer) when he said the Salam, he would say:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً
“O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision and acceptable deeds.’”[3]
The above two Duas can be recited for blessings.
- The Dua mentioned in Answer no.1 can be recited before starting work in the morning.
- It is narrated by Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): The Prophet (ﷺ) used to seek Refuge with Allah for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain and say: "Your forefather (i.e. Abraham) used to seek Refuge with Allah for Ismail and Ishaaq by reciting the following:
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لاَمَّةٍ
'O, Allah! I seek Refuge with Your Perfect Words from every devil and from poisonous pests and from every evil, harmful, envious eye.' "[4]
اللهمَّ إنِّي أعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ، وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ، وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ
‘O, Allah! I seek you protection from the difficult moment of a calamity and from being overtaken by destruction and from being destined to an evil end, and from the malicious joy of enemies.’[5]
The above Duas can be used for protection against the evil eye and any enemy.
Other than the above Duas one may supplicate to Allah in their own language as it is not necessary to make Dua in Arabic.
Only Allah knows best
