Seeking refuge with Allah against Satan the Outcast. "[I
seek refuge with Allaah from the Evil One, the Rejected]"
Reference: Abu Dawud
1/206, At-Tirmithi. See also Al-Albani, Sahih At-Tirmithi 1/77, and
Surat Al-Mu'minun, 23:98-9.
142. The call to
prayer - 'Adhdhaan
Reference: Muslim
1/291, Al-Bukhari 1/151.
143. Recitation
of the Qur'an and authentic texts of Allah's remembrance (Dhikr) and
supplications (Ad-du'aa`)
Reference: "Do not
turn your homes into graveyards, surely the Devil flees from the house
in which Surat Al-Baqarah is read," Muslim 1/539. The Devil is also
driven out by the invocations for morning and evening, those that are
said before sleeping and upon waking up, those for entering and leaving
the house, including those for entering and leaving the mosque, and by
many other authentic invocations taught to us by the Prophet (SAW) such
as the reading of 'Ayatul-Kursi, (Al-Baqarah 2:255), and the last two 'Ayat
of Surat Al-Baqarah before going to sleep. Whoever says: "There is none
worthy of worship but Allah alone, Who has no partner, His is the
dominion and His is the praise, and he is Able to do all things," one
hundred times, it will be a protection for him from the Devil throughout
the day.'
"… when it is said to them; 'Make not mischief on the Earth', they say; 'We are only peace makers'. Indeed they are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive it not"
