After a Nightmare
أَعُوْذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ ، وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ ، وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِيْنِ وَأَنْ يَّحْضُرُوْنِ.

I seek protection in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and punishment, and from the evil of His servants, and from the evil suggestions of the devils and from them appearing to me.Aʿūdhu bi kalimāt-i-llāhi-t-tāmmāti min ghaḍabihi wa ʿiqābih, wa sharri ʿibādih, wa min hamazāti-sh-shayaṭīn wa an yaḥḍurūn.ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb narrated from his father, who narrated from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When one of you becomes frightened during sleep, then let him say: [the above]. For verily, they shall not harm him.” He said: “So ʿAbdullah b. ʿAmr (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) used to teach it to those of his children who attained maturity, and those of them who did not, he would write it on a sheet and then hang it around their neck.” (Tirmidhī 3528)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you sees a dream which pleases him, he should not tell anybody about it except to the one whom he loves. And if he sees a dream which he dislikes, then he should seek Allah’s protection from its evil and from the evil of Shaytān. He should spit three times on his left and should not tell anybody about it, lest it might harm him.” (Bukhārī 6986)

![Surah al-Hujurat - Reflection 23
The True Believers & the Sweetness of Iman
• The true believers are those who have tasted the essence and sweetness of īmān, firmly anchored in their faith, unmoved by the storms of trials and untrapped by the snares of desires and doubts; their hearts fully embrace the delight of īmān, leading them to give up what they love most — their wealth and even their own lives — for the sake of Allah.
• The phrase “never doubting” signals that this path contains trials, temptations, and obstacles. It calls the believer to vigilance, constant supplication, and reliance upon Allah for steadfastness.
• When īmān is not firmly rooted, trials can shake the heart, letting doubts creep in and potentially leading to the loss of faith. Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) says,
“Doubts will not be removed from the heart until the servant arrives at this state [of tasting the sweetness of īmān].” Even the believer may face moments of hesitation under severe trials, but the one who remains steadfast, resists doubt, and maintains connection with Allah despite life’s storms is truly deserving of this rank. This verse reminds believers to stay resolute, patient, and upright when hardships strike.
Reflect: What can you do to strengthen your īmān and yaqīn to the extent that when trials come, your heart remains steadfast?
Act: Spend at least 15 minutes today reciting Qur’ān with tadabbur (reflection) to strengthen your īmān, or go outdoors and reflect on Allah’s creation while doing dhikr. Put your phone away and devote your heart and mind to Allah ﷻ.
