When the Prophet ﷺ faced people who meant harm, he placed his trust in Allah (SWT) with these words. They are a reminder that strength and protection come only from Him.
Allahumma inna naj'aluka fi nuhurihim, wa na'udhu bika min shururihim
“O Allah, we place You before them, and we seek refuge in You from their evil.”
The Prophet ﷺ said this when he feared a group of people. Placing Allah (SWT) before them means asking Him to face them and hold them back.
Hasbunallahu wa ni'ma-l-wakeel.
“Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.”
What Ibrahim (AS) said when thrown into the fire, and what the believers said when an army was being marched against them. The knock that opens every locked door.
Allahumma anta 'adudi, wa anta nasiri, bika ahulu, wa bika asulu, wa bika uqatil
“O Allah, You are my support and You are my helper. By You I move, by You I advance, and by You I fight.”
The Prophet ﷺ said this when setting out to face an enemy.
Allahumma munzila-l-kitab, sari'a-l-hisab, ihzimi-l-ahzab, Allahumma-hzimhum wa zalzilhum
“O Allah, Revealer of the Book, swift in reckoning, defeat the allied forces. O Allah, defeat them and shake them.”
The Prophet ﷺ made this du'a on the day of the Confederates (al-Ahzab).
