Reciting supplications at the end of the day brings peace, wards off negative thoughts, and prepares the mind for restful sleep.
Quranic Verses for Protection
Ayat al-Kursi and Al-Baqara (285-286) are key for safeguarding the soul, while Al-Mu’awwidhat (Ikhlas, Falaq, Nas) protect against external harm and whispers of Satan.
General Prayers
Phrases like "We have entered the evening, and all sovereignty belongs to Allah," and "Pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as my Prophet," strengthen faith and bring spiritual closeness. They include seeking protection from laziness, distress, weakness, and harm, while asking for health and safety for body, mind, and soul.
