The whole supplication is a single sentence, and the protection it describes is attached to the name it opens with. Nothing in the earth or in the heavens can cause harm alongside that name — the scope is stated in both directions at once rather than limited to any one danger or any one place. It closes by naming two attributes, the All-Hearing and the All-Knowing.
Said each morning and each evening. The Arabic text marks it to be said three times.
Both closing attributes concern attention rather than force. What is offered to the one reciting is that he is heard and known, and no specific threat is ever described or named.
