A Believer's Refuge speaks of the causes of reversals and misfortunes that people encounter and the ways to ensure the protection and preservation of God's favours and blessings, as well as preventing harm and reducing the effects of personal tragedies and calamities. The book teaches the ways and means to fortify oneself against the effect of such tragedies.

The most important of these being the remembrance of God and glorifying Him at all times. It explains the best forms of remembrance and glorification, how to earn God's pleasure, the prevention of harm, the proper form of prayer and supplication, and quotes a number of supplications mentioned in the Qur'an and the Sunnah that provide sure refuge for believers.
