Surah Al-Falaq (113) teaches us to seek protection with Allah, Lord of the daybreak, from the harm of everything He created, from the darkness of night, from those who do magic by blowing on knots, and from the envier when he envies. It is a daily protection surah, recited morning, evening and before sleep. قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ ۝ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَVerse by verseVerseMeaningFor a child1I seek protection with the Lord of daybreakAllah brings light after dark2from the harm of what He createdAllah protects from anything harmful3from the darkness when it spreadsNight can feel scary; Allah is there4from those who blow on knotsAllah protects from magic5from the envier when he enviesAllah protects from jealous peopleFalaq or Nas?Al-Falaq asks protection from harm outside us (night, magic, envy).
