Question:

Is there any verse in the Quran for the protection of land?

Answer:

In The Name Of Allah, The Most-Merciful, The Most Kind

The Quran in itself is protection for all things, however, in request to the abovementioned question, it is mentioned in a Hadith of Tirmidhi that :

Abu Huraira (r.a) mentions that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) has said whosoever reads the first 3 ayahs of Surah Mu'min ('Haa meem' to 'Ilayhil maseer') and Ayatul-Kursi in the morning will be protected until evening, and whomsoever reads (these ayaats) in the evening will be protected till the morning.[1]

Also, there are many other duas which one may read for example the prayer of Hazrat Anas (r.a) which is for protection of one's life, property, faith, family and from every harm. This Dua can be found in all masnoon dua books.

Only Allah knows best
