“(1) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance. (2) [He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward (3) In which they will remain forever (4) And to warn those who say, " Allah has taken a son." (5) They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie. (6) Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow. (7) Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed. (8) And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground. (9) Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder? (10) [Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance. (Sura Kahf: 1-10) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal."”

“I commend you to the protection of Allah’s perfect words from every devil, vermin, and every evil eye. 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 Ishmael and Isaac by reciting."”
اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّا نَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ نَرْجِعَ عَلٰى أَعْقَابِنَا أَوْ نُفْتَنَ عَنْ دِيْنِنَا.
