Recite Surah Al-Baqarah at Home: Shaytan Flees

The Prophet ﷺ said not to make houses like graveyards and stated that Shaytan flees from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited.

Evidence and guidance

The Prophet ﷺ said not to make houses like graveyards and stated that Shaytan flees from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited. This is in Sahih Muslim.

How to apply it

Make Qur'an recitation part of the home. Read Al-Baqarah in portions if needed. Do not turn the narration into superstition or invent exact frequencies and rituals not established by revelation. The Qur'an is Allah's speech and reciting it is worship.
