What is the dua for protection in Islam?

For protection, the Qur'an hands you a refuge to recite: Surah Al-Falaq, seeking shelter in the Lord of the daybreak from every harm He created — the dark, the envier, and all hidden evil. It is among the most-recited protections in Islam.

“Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, From the evil of that which He created, And from the evil of darkness when it settles..."”— 113:1-3 (Saheeh International)
