Hazrat Abu Saeed al-Khurdi (RA) narrates:
“Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind, the King (or Ruler) of Mankind – the Allah (or Judge) of Mankind – from the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper) – (The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind – Among Jinns and among Men.” (114:1-6)īesides the virtues of Surah an Naas which it shares with Surah al Falaq that are mentioned above, there are a few hadiths that tell of other virtues of reciting Surah an Naas. Therefore, the recitation of Surah al Falaq can help a great deal in combating evil, envy and secret arts. Therefore, this Surah tells that if one is to seek protection from these three kinds of ills, then one must invoke Allah Almighty. Secondly, protection from those who practice magic and thirdly, protection from those who are jealous and conduct acts of envy.Īll these three are the most commonly occurring things that can harm a person. If one ponders over the verses of Surah al Falaq then one can easily assess that these ayahs refer to seeking protection of Allah Almighty, firstly from all sorts of evil that befalls in day or night. Therefore, a Muslim must also consider following the Sunnah of Prophet (PBUH) and then know the endless benefits it brings to him or her. This hadith shows that recitation of Surah al Falaq along with two other last Surahs of Quran was the Sunnah of Prophet (PBUH) and He would have the recital wipe over His body as if forming a protective layer. “Before sleeping Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would recite the last three Surahs of Quran and then would blow it onto His hands and then wipe the hands all over His body.” (Bukhari) Therefore, from this hadith one can get an idea about the magnificence of Surah al Falaq. “Allah has revealed verses the like of which you have never seen: Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the people, and: Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak.” (Tirmidhi)Īlthough each and every verse of Quran has no match, but these two verses which are mentioned in the hadith, one is from Surah an Naas and the other from Surah al Falaq have been declared unmatchable by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Regarding the revelation of Surah al Falaq, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in one of His hadiths: From the mischief of created things from the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads from the mischief of those who practice Secret Arts and from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.” (113:1-5) “Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn. The lines below discuss the virtues associated with these Surahs in the light of hadith, along with the crucial insight one can get from these Surahs. Two of such renowned short Surahs are Surah al Falaq, and Surah an Naas. Moreover, other than the Surahs being a part of Quran that brings reward, there are different Surahs that come with special virtues. Quran is comprised of Surahs where each and every Surah had a specific purpose behind its revelation.
Thus, Muslims receive the dual benefits of getting reward by reading the Quran, as well as finding instructions to know and understand life and live it in a better way. Although it is the sacred religious book of Muslims, however, to those who wish to know about the universe and the concept of God and how He is the Creator of all, Quran presents great examples and explains everything in detail.
