Du’a for Protection from the Evils of Deeds

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَشَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

“O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done.”

Sahih Muslim (2716)

  • This du’a is asking for protection from the negative consequences of both actions taken and actions not taken, recognizing human fallibility and seeking divine assistance in all matters.
