Introduction
In the Islamic tradition, daily supplications (duas) are a powerful way to seek Allah’s protection, mercy, and blessings. One of the most respected and widely recited collections is the Manzil Dua—a compilation of Quranic verses selected by scholars to provide spiritual protection against evil forces such as black magic (sihr), jinn, evil eye (nazar), and general harm.
The Manzil is not just a defensive spiritual shield but also a source of peace, barakah (blessing), and healing. It is highly recommended to be recited daily, especially in the morning and evening, for anyone facing anxiety, fear, illness, or spiritual distress.
What is the Manzil Dua?
The Manzil is a collection of 33 verses from different chapters (Surahs) of the Holy Quran, including powerful passages from Surah Al-Fatiha, Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Naas. These verses have been selected for their healing and protective properties.
Renowned scholars like Sheikh Zakariya al-Kandhlawi (رحمه الله) and others endorsed the daily recitation of Manzil as an effective means of protection and cure.
