❖ Duʿās for Protection from Envy and Conspiracies at the Workplace ❖
Question:
I work in a company where the environment is such that those who work diligently become targets of conspiracies. People pull each other down and try to harm others. In such a situation, what supplications should I recite to safeguard myself from this evil?
Answer by: Fadhīlat al-ʿĀlim Ḥāfiẓ Khidr Ḥayāt ḥafiẓahullāh
✔ Be punctual in your daily prayers, and ensure to recite the adhkār (remembrances) after each prayer.
✔ Strictly observe the morning and evening adhkār, as they contain powerful duʿās that bring overall benefit and serve as protection from all kinds of evil.
◈ Alongside dhikr and duʿā, it is important to turn yourself towards righteousness and actively avoid participating in evil.
◈ Islam does not teach that merely reciting specific duʿās will automatically bring every good and ward off every evil.
◈ On the contrary, Islam emphasizes that good results come through effort and striving, and protection from evil also requires adopting appropriate preventive measures.
اللهم اكفنيهم بما شئت
“O Allah, suffice me against them however You will.”
➤ [Sahih Muslim]
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من شرورهم، وأدرأ بك في نحورهم
“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from their evils, and I push away their harm through You.”
حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
“Allah is sufficient for me; there is no deity except Him. Upon Him I rely, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”
➤ [Surah At-Tawbah: 129]
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من الهم والحزن، والعجز والكسل، والجبن والبخل، وغلبة الدين وقهر الرجال
“O Allah! I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from weakness and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from the burden of debts and being overpowered by men.”
➤ [Bukhari: 6369]
Stay committed to your prayers, adhkār, hard work, and ethical conduct.
Continue doing good sincerely for the sake of Allah, and trust that He will protect and elevate you in due time.
Avoid engaging in office politics and do not stoop to the level of those who plot evil.
