Quranic Duas & Wazaif
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
"I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan."
— Quran
In-Depth Explanation
Whispers (waswasay) come from Shaytan. They attack faith, wudu, prayer, and every act of worship.
The Prophet ﷺ taught a complete solution: say 'A'udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajeem' and keep going with your action — do not pay attention to the doubt.
Proof from the Quran
Allah's own words on this matter, with scholarly explanation.
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ
"Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, King of mankind, God of mankind, from the evil of the retreating whisperer."
— Surah An-Nas 114:1-4
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
"If an evil suggestion from Shaytan comes to you, seek refuge in Allah — He is the Hearing, the Knowing."
— Surah Fussilat 41:36
Proof from Authentic Hadith
Narrations from the Prophet ﷺ on this subject.
يَأْتِي الشَّيْطَانُ أَحَدَكُمْ فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ خَلَقَ كَذَا؟ مَنْ خَلَقَ كَذَا؟ حَتَّى يَقُولَ: مَنْ خَلَقَ رَبَّكَ؟ فَإِذَا بَلَغَهُ فَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ وَلْيَنْتَهِ
"Shaytan comes to one of you and asks: Who created this? Who created that? — until he says: Who created your Lord? When he reaches that, let him seek refuge in Allah and stop."
— Sahih Al-Bukhari 3276
إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَطْنِهِ شَيْئًا فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ أَمْ لَا فَلَا يَخْرُجَنَّ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا
"When one of you feels something in his stomach and is unsure whether wind passed or not, he should not leave the mosque until he hears a sound or smells an odour."
— Sahih Muslim 362
