The Qur'an tells us that the Prophet (saas) would rise to pray at

Allah by recalling His attributes. This is one of the prayers of the Prophet

Like all the other prophets, the Prophet (saas) faced threats and
pressure from hostile men and jinn. He responded to these with patience
and fortitude, and was commanded to seek help from Allah against
Satan's evil suggestions and spiritual attacks in this way:

Lord, Allah, in his prayers:

Surat al-Fatiha: 1-7: "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the
worlds, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful, the King of the Day of
Judgement. You alone we worship. You alone we ask for help.
Guide us on the Straight Path, the Path of those You have
blessed, not of those with anger on them, nor of the misguided."
