Protection from Disobedience

Answered by Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz (may Allah protect him and benefit us by him)

I am in an environment in which is hard to avoid disobeying Allah. What can I read to protect me from disobedience?

Read the following 19 times before you enter any place where you find yourself disobeying Allah:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

اللَّهُمَّ يا حَيُّ يَا قَيَّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أسْتَغِيْثُ ومِنْ عَذابِكَ أسْتَجِيرُ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأنِي كُلَّهُ ولاَ تَكِلْنِي إلى نَفْسِي وَلا إِلى أحَدٍ مِن خَلْقِكَ طَرْفَةَ عَينٍ

Bismillahi’rrahmani’rrahhim

Allahumma Ya Hayyu ya Qayyum birahmatik astaghithu wa min `adhabika astajir. Aslih li sh’ani kullahu wa la takilni ila nafsi wa la ila ahadin min khalqika tarfata `ayn

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

O Allah, O Living! O Sustainer! I call upon Your Mercy for assistance, and from Your chastisement I seek refuge! Make good all my affairs and do not entrust me to myself or any of Your creation for the blink of an eye.
