Introduction:
Dua for Safety of Family Allah nyp is likely to give us one of the best of things, as the family is given to us. Safekeeping them on physical, spiritual, and emotional levels is part of our religious belief. The world is full of uncertainties, as there are diseases, accidents, envy, the evil eye, and misguidance; every believer would love their loved ones to find protection.
According to Islam, we are taught a combination of two things:
- The worldly precautions (being locked in, healthy, and avoiding injury)
- Trusting in Allah completely in the dua
- Allah (attrs.) is Al-Hafeez (The Protector) and Al-Wakeel (The Disposer of Affairs). Regular recourse to Him through duas that were taught in the Quran and Sunnah would be the strongest defense for our family.
All Muslims are Required to Understand Protection in Islam
In Islam, security is holistic—it is not just concerning taking care of yourself physically, but also:
- Protection against diseases and accidents
- Protection against sins and misquotations
- Protection against the evil eye and envy
- The security of facing poverty and losing money
Protection against spiritual harm, like shirk, hypocrisy, or the denial of faith
Dependence on Allah:
He will suffice—the one who is so beloved to Allah.
The reason to start a new beginning in life is that the procedure of making music is like a new beginning in life (Surah At-Talaq 65:3).
It is a reminder to us that, however well we have secured our lives, without the security of Allah, they are not complete.
The Islamic prayer for a righteous and safe family is important.
In Surah Al-Furqan, one of the most beautiful duas in the Quran, as far as our family is concerned, goes as follows:
Dawa on Righteous Family
O our Lord, grant us husbands and wives and children that they may lighten and make sweet our hearts and make us eminently foremost of the godly.
This is because of the words of our lord in Surah Al-Furqan 25:74.
This dua has:
- Seeking upright members of a family
- They provided emotional security to them.
- An example of life that gives a call to good.
Practical tip:
Recite it following each salah and particularly Tahajjud with the request of Allah to protect your family against the hazards of this world and the spiritual world.
Morning and Evening Dua Protection against all harms
Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi report that the Prophet himself said:
Freedom from Injury
Heaven and the earth—there is not one thing, but there is nothing wrong with it unless the name of Allah is said upon it. He is the All-Aural. All-Knowing.
And he who shall say the same three times every morning and evening will be defended that day and night from malice.
Dua against evil gaze and envy
This is true; the evil eye is valid, as attested in Sahih Muslim:
The evil eye is no imagination, and that is what can overcome the divine order more than the evil eye.”
The Prophet ﷺ was in the habit of guarding his family using Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Naas daily.
Protection method:
- All the surahs are also read thrice in the morning and evening.
- Blow with your hands and wipe clean over you and your children.
- Say nightly before bed.
- It is an all-in-all protection against invisible spiritual damage.
Prophet Ibrahim (prayer for his family’s protection)
Prophet Ibrahim prayed the following before he left his family in Makkah:
Facts of the Evil Eye
The evil eye is real, and something would have surpassed fate and the evil eye. (Authentic Hadith)
This would show us to turn to Allah in case we desire the two things:
- Security and safety
- Food and blessings
- You can modify it in your dua to your families and the city you live in.
Traveling/Safety Dua
Travelling as a family, one may recite the dua of Surah Az-Zukhruf:
The City & Provision Safety
Lord, it is as though thou hast been the maker of cities of refuge and the fosterer of fruits—wherein, of truth, believers in Allah and the last day are included.
This is in response to one verse in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:126.
Traveling is not limited to the modern life forms of traveling by car, train, or plane—this dua will always remain alive.
Protection against Disasters and Diseases Dua
The Prophet’s teaching was to say:
Thanks to Allah in Andalusia.
Praise be to Allah, Who granted us the mastery over this, because we would never have been able to do it by ourselves. And verily we shall go back to our Lord.
(as per the Quran: Prayer of travel/riding)
You can turn it into a daily routine in order to ensure that your family is free of dangerous diseases.
Morning: Evening Adkar to Protect PERMANENTLY
- The adhkar that you recite regularly is a sort of invisible protection for your family:
- On Ayat al-Kursi after every salah and once a day in the morning/evening
- Surah Al-Baqarah are the 2 last ayahs during the night.
- Leaving home: Bismillah (Sunan Abu Dawud)
- These protect against accidents, ill fortune, and the voice of the shaytaan.

- Balance is what Islam is all about, in addition to dua, practicing facts, and safety:
- Keep your house doors and windows closed.
- Keep sanitation and medical measures.
