The greatest deterrent to jinn is the recitation of the Holy Quran and the remembrance of Allah Almighty, especially reading Surat Al-Baqarah, and "Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad" (Say: He is Allah, [the] One) and the two 'Mu'awwidhatayn' (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas) three times in the morning and in the evening. Also, the Athan (call to prayer) expels jinn, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When the call to prayer is made, Satan turns away, and he has flatulence." The Athan has been used to expel jinn from places where they are numerous.
