When to Recite This Dua
This is the simplest yet most powerful shield against the whispers of Shaytan. When a tempting thought enters your mind or you feel the urge to open a harmful app, say this immediately. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught that Shaytan flees when this is recited sincerely. Make it your reflex response to every whisper.
