mahboob-e-Subhani; peer-e-la Saani; peer-e-peera, meer-e-meera; Al-Shaykh Abu Muhammad Sayyid Abdul-Qaadir Jeelani رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه would say, for proclaiming his blessings and to encourage his devotees: During the days and nights I spent in the jungle, the devils, with their scary faces, would attack me with all sorts of weapons. They would rain fire upon me and I would chase them with the help of Allah but they would separate and run away. Sometimes the Devil would come to me on his own and scare me, threaten me and tell me to leave this place. I would then slap him really hard and he would run away, then I would recite ‘لَاحَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّابِاللّٰہِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیْم’ and he would burn. (Bahja-tul-Asraar, p. 165)

The blessings of ‘لَا حَوْل’

It is now known that reciting ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّا بِاللہِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیْمِ’ is the perfect way of getting rid of the Devil. This is why when the Devil gives evil thoughts and whispers to people, we should immediately recite ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّا بِاللہِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیْمِ’. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه the face of the accursed devil will be blackened. The renowned commentator; Hakim ul-Ummah Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes: the noble Sufis state that whoever recites 21 times in the morning and evening, blows on water and drinks it, then ‘لَاحَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلاَّ بِاللہِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیْم’ he will be safe from the evil whispers of the Devil. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, p. 87)
