Nightmares are unpleasant things that occur while sleeping. This experience can make us wake up feeling anxious, afraid, and restless.
By praying, we can get peace and protection, and ask for strength from Allah SWT.
Reported by CNN Indonesia from the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Online page, below is a prayer that you can read when you have a nightmare.
هُوَ اللهُ ، اَللهُ رَبِّيْ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ. أَعُوْذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِيْنْ
Huwallahu, Allahu rabbi, laa sharika lahu. A'udzu bikalimatillahit tammati min ghadhabihi wa min syarri ibaadihi wa min hamazatisy syayatini wa an yahdhurun.
Meaning: “He is Allah, Allah is my Lord. There is no partner for Him. I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His wrath, the evil of His servants, and the temptations of Satan. I also seek refuge in Him from the siege of Satan."
