The Ta`awwudh (Arabic: تعوذ) is the phrase A`ūdhu billāhi min ash-shaitāni r-rajīmi (أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّـيْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْمِ). This is an Arabic sentence meaning "I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, the accursed one".[1] It is often recited by Muslims before reciting the Qur'an and before beginning a task. It is often followed by the Basmala.[2] Ta'awwudh and basmalah are pronounced along with the formulation of the niyyah (intention).[3] The recitation of ta`awwudh is considered a subcategory of dua.[4]
