Dream - In Islamic teachings, prayer is one of the highly recommended forms of worship. Prayer is a way for a servant to seek protection and guidance from Allah SWT in various situations, including when facing frightening or dangerous situations. One situation that can cause fear is encountering a fierce dog. Islam teaches that every living creature is created by Allah SWT and has its own place and role in this world. Dogs, although viewed negatively in some contexts in Islamic law, are still creations of Allah that must be respected.

Praying in situations like this is not only a form of surrender or submission to Allah SWT, but also a reminder that only to Him do we seek help and protection. Through prayer, we strengthen our hearts, calm our minds, and reinforce our belief that Allah SWT always protects His servants who rely on Him. Here is a prayer to recite when encountering a fierce dog as compiled by Dream from various sources.

يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَنْفُذُوا مِنْ أَقْطَارِ السَّمَاوِاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَانْفُذُوا ۚلَا تَنْفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلْطَانٍ Yaa ma’syarol jinni wal insi inistatho’tum antanfudzuu min aqthooris samaawaati wal ardhi fanfudzuu laa tanfudzuuna illaa bisulthoon.Artinya: "O group of jinn and humans, if you are able to penetrate the heavens and the earth, then penetrate. You will not be able to penetrate except with power."

Then, when a dog barks, Dream's friend can recite the following prayer: أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ (A'udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajim). It means: "I seek refuge in Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala from the accursed Satan (far from the mercy of Allah)."
