Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah list some of the
effective ways to defeat Shaytan and seek protection
of Allah from the Shaytan..
1. Seeking refuge with Allah from Shaytan. Allah the
Most High said, “And if there comes to you from
Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah.
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.” (The Holy
Qur'an:41:36)
2. Recitation of the two soorahs al-Falaq and an-Nas,
as they have wondrous effect in seeking refuge with
Allah from his evil, weakening Shaytan and protection
from him. This is why the Messenger, sallallahu
`alayhi wa sallam, said: “No person seeks refuge with
anything like the Mu`awwidhatayn (soorahs al-Falaq and an-Nas)”.(An-Nasaa’i, 5337)
3. Recitation of Ayat al-Kursi (The Holy Qur'an:2:255)
4. Recitation of soorah al-Baqarah. The Messenger,
sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said, “The house in which
al-Baqarah is recited is not approached by
Shaytan.” (Muslim)
5. The final part of al-Baqarah. The Messenger,
sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said, “Whoever recites
the two last verses of al-Baqarah at night they will
suffice him.” (Muslim)
6. Recitation of the beginning of soorah Mu’min
(Ghafir), until His saying, “wa ilayhi-l-maseer” (to Him
is the destination). (i.e. “Ha. Meem. The revelation of
the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the
Knowing, the forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance,
severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.” The
Holy Qur'an:40:1-2)
7. Saying “la ilaha ill Allah wahdahu la sharika lah,
lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa `ala kulli shay’in
qadir” (there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah,
He has no partner, His is the Dominion and Praise,
and He is able to do all things) a hundred times.
8. The most beneficial form of protection from
Shaytan: abundance of remembrance of Allah, the
Exalted.
9. Ablution and prayer, and they are from among the
greatest means of protection, especially at the time of
emergence of anger and desire.
10. Abstinence from excess speech, food and mixing
with people.
