Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And he asks: How does a Muslim guard against this happening to him?
Answer:
By following the Book and the Sunnah, and by making much du'a' (supplication), asking Allah to guide him, saying: "O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, and grant me well-being among those You have granted well-being." He asks Allah for guidance in every rak'ah (unit of prayer) when he recites[Al-Fatihah 1:6-7]. This is not that du'a'. [Al-Fatihah 1:7] This is du'a'. Yes.

(6) Guide us to the straight path - (7) The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْThe path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
