    Ayat al-Kursi for protection

    ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ۝٢٥٥

    Allāhu lā ilāha illā huw(a), al-ḥayyul-qayyūm(u), lā ta'khużuhū sinatuw wa lā naum(un), lahū mā fis-samāwāti wa mā fil-arḍ(i), man żal-lażī yasyfa‘u ‘indahū illā bi'iżnih(ī), ya‘lamu mā baina aidīhim wa mā khalfahum, wa lā yuḥīṭūna bisyai'im min ‘ilmihī illā bimā syā'(a), wasi‘a kursiyyuhus-samāwāti wal-arḍ(a), wa lā ya'ūduhū ḥifẓuhumā, wa huwal-‘aliyyul-‘aẓīm(u).

    Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

    1Say, "O disbelievers, 2I do not worship what you worship. 3Nor are you worshippers of what I worship. 4Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship. 5Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship. 6For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
