Dua for Protection Against Any Kind of Harm
Life is full of challenges and uncertainties, but Islam teaches us that Allah ﷻ has provided us with powerful duas (supplications) to seek His divine protection. One of the most beautiful and comprehensive duas for safety is narrated in Sunan Abi Dawud.

Bismillahil-lazi la yadhurru ma’asmihi shai’un fil ardhi wa la fis-sama’i wa Huwas-Sami’ul Aleem
Translation: In the Name of Allah with Whose Name nothing in the earth or in the heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing. (Sunan Abi Dawud)
