How can we get rid of disturbing dreams (nightmares)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What a sleeper sees is categorized into three types: a righteous vision from Allah, self-talk, and a bad dream from Satan. To get rid of Satan's influence before sleep, it is recommended to recite Ayatul-Kursi, the last two verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, and Surahs Al- and Al-Mu'awwidhatayn, along with some reported supplications. If a Muslim sees a disliked dream upon waking, he should spit lightly to his left three times, seek refuge in Allah from Satan three times, change the side he was sleeping on, and pray if he wishes.
