Islamic teachings offer a comprehensive set of supplications (duas) and Quranic verses to be recited before sleeping for protection against enemies, bad dreams, sihr (black magic), and the influence of Shaytan. Core Protections Before Sleep

Reciting this verse before bed ensures a guard from Allah remains with you, and Shaytan cannot approach you until dawn.

Consistent practice of these Sunnah acts creates a spiritual shield throughout the night.

These are the "two protectors" (Al-Mu'awwidhatayn) specifically against black magic, the evil eye, and whispers of Shaytan.
