INTRODUCTION
Whatever Rasulullah PBUH] has said, is the absolute truth and Haqq. There cannot be an iota of doubt in this. If he taught the Ummah to recite any ayah, wazifah or dua for their safety against any eventuality, no Muslim would doubt the authenticity of that. They would recite such an ayah, wazifah or dua, believing with conviction that its recitation would afford him safety only through the will of Allah Ta'ala.
On one occasion Rasulullah PBUH] advised a companion to tie his camel and then rely on Allah Ta'ala for its safety. It is clear from the above that confining oneself to the recitation of the relevant verses, wazaif and dua, and not adopting the physical and practical security measures, is in conflict to the teachings of the Qur'an and Ahadith. One is compelled by Shari'ah, to adopt physical as well as spiritual measures against crime and calamities. Physical would be, amongst other things, locking and securing one's property while spiritual would mean to recite Ayatul Kursi, the four Quls and salaah. The one compliments the other. Through the barakah of both types of measures, Allah Ta'ala will give the reader the safety he needs, Insha-Allah.
