I Am Afraid of Jinn – What Should I Do?
Answer:
A person who fears the jinn should recite the following supplication:
Sayyiduna Ibn ʿAbbās رضي الله عنهما reports that the Noble Prophet ﷺ said:
"اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَعَزُّ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ جَمِيعًا، اللَّهُ أَعَزُّ مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَأَحْذَرُ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ أَنْ يَقَعْنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ، مِنْ شَرِّ عَبْدِكَ فُلَانٍ وَجُنُودِهِ، وَأَتْبَاعِهِ، وَأَشْيَاعِهِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ، اللَّهُمَّ كُنْ لِي جَارًا مِنْ شَرِّهِمْ، جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ، وَعَزَّ جَارُكَ، وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ، وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ" (recite three times)
[Al-Adab al-Mufrad, Hadith No. 708]
“Allah is the Greatest, Allah is mightier than all of His creation. Allah is more powerful than what I fear and worry about. I seek refuge in Allah—there is no deity but Him—Who holds back the seven heavens from falling upon the earth except by His permission. I seek refuge in You from the evil of Your servant [name], his forces, his followers, and his companions among the jinn and mankind. O Allah, be my Protector against their evil. Exalted is Your praise, mighty is Your protection, blessed is Your name, and there is no deity besides You.”
