AND THEY CANNOT HURT WITH IT ANY ONE EXCEPT WITH ALLAH'S PERMISSION 2:102

"and they cannot hurt with it any one except with Allah’s permission” 2:102“…..and whoever trusts in Allah, He is sufficient for him….”65:3

Reliance on Allah (S.W.T.) is definitely a perfect and absolute solution to any kind of problems including magic.

It is related from Abu Abdillah ( Imam Sadiqe – A.S.). 

He said: Allah Tabarak Wa Ta’ala revealed to Dawood (A.S.): 

"Whoever, grasps me withdrawing from My creation – I know this from his intentions – then the skies and the earth and those in them conspire against him; but I deliver him from this state of affairs. A servant from my servants does not grasps someone from my creation except that I slash his means from the heavens that is already in his hands and makes this world a difficult place to stay. I do not care where exactly he is ruined.” – Mishkat-ul-Anwar Chapter 4 number 36.

2. Whenever there is a serious need for anything then Allah (S.W.T.) immediately fulfills that need. Even if a kafir has a genuine need then there is a voice raised from the very depth of his heart – “O Allah”. This kind of a voice is always answered even if it comes from a kafirs heart. Being momins such a voice from the depth of the heart coupled with the genuine need will be always answered. If someone faces some problem then he should know that there is some good hidden in it. Accept whatever comes from your Lord and do not be panicky. Your need in itself is a strong dua that will InshaAllah be soon answered.

It is reported from Abi Ja’fer (Imam Baqer A.S.):

“The most commendable of the creation of Allah (S.W.T.) is the one who submits to whatever Allah (S.W.T.) has determined for him. A person who recognized Allah (S.W.T.) and is satisfied with the verdict will be rewarded when the verdict overwhelms him. But a person who feels grudge over the verdict will be overwhelmed with the verdict albeit Allah (S.W.T.) will quash the reward.” Mishkat-ul-Anwar Chapter 4: 42

-Special dua for protection (to be written on deerskin & kept )

A person came to Amirul Momineen Ali (a.s.) and complained that a spell has been cast on him. Ali (a.s.) told him to write the following dua on the skin of deer and keep it with him so that the spell may not affect him:

BISMILLAAHI WA BILLAAHI BISMILLAAHI WA MAA SHAAA-ALLAAHU BISMILLAAHI WA LAA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAAH 

QAALA MOOSAA MAA JI-TUM BIHIS SIH'R INNALLAAHA SAYUBT'ILUH INNALLAAHA LAA YUS'LIH'U A'MALAL MUFSIDEEN

FAWAQA-A'L H'AQQU WA BAT'ALA MAA KANOO YA'-MALOON FAGHULIBOO HUNAA LIKA WANQALABOO S'AAGHIREEN

In the Name of Allah and by Allah. (S Yunus 81) In the Name of Allah and as Allah willed. In the Name of Allah. There is no power or might except by Allah. Musa (a.s.) said Allah shall soon falsify the magic of those who have come with magic. Indeed Allah does not improve the affairs of transgressors.(S Araf 118) Then the truth became manifested and falsified what they had done. The truth triumphed and they were disgraced.

Another important dua: He also advised reciting the following dua (verse 35 of Sura al Qasas )seven times to safeguard against magic.It is better to recite it seven times after Namaz-e-Shab and before the morning prayers. It will protect one from the evils of magic 

QAALA SANASHUDDU A'Z'UDAKA BI-AKHEEKA WA NAJ-A'LU LAKUMAA SULT'AANAN FALAA YAS'ILOONA ILAYKUMAA BI-AAYAATINAAA ANTUMAA WA MANIT TABA-A'KUMAL GHAALIBOON

… In the Name of Allah and by the help of Allah. Soon We shall strengthen your hand by your brother. And appoint for you a force. By which their mischief would not harm you. Move ahead with our signs. You and your followers shall triumph.

Also Dua e Shabsab  can be used to protect oneself from magic and all other evils.

We need to rely on powerful methods at our disposal to change our future for the better instead of such ways Sadqa & observing ties of kinship(selah reham) result in long lives. Dua’a especially with the medium of Ahlulbayt(as) changes fortunes & destiny
