Surah falaq

Share Page 113 Al-Falaq This is a Makki Surah and draws its name from the mention of Al Falaq, the Day Break, in the first verse. Together with Surah An Naas, it is known as Muadhdhitayn, the ones used to seek refuge, as the Prophet ﷺ often recited these two surahs during sickness and to protect from the evil eye. Beginning with one attribute of Allaah (SWT), Lord of the Day Break, believers are asked to seek refuge from the evil of what He Has created, from the evil of the night that approaches, from the evil of those who practice magic and from the evil of those who are envy.

Surah Falaq (سورَةُ الفَلَق), meaning daybreak, aka Mu‘awwadhah (مُعَوَّذَة), meaning seeking refuge, and Qul A‘ūdhu bi Rabb al-Falaq (taken from the first verse of this surah) is the 113th and penultimate chapter in the Noble Quran that God revealed to Prophet Muhammad in Medina.

This surah is one of the two surahs known as Ma‘ūdhatayn (مَعوذَتين), meaning the two surahs for seeking refuge in God from evil, specifically from darkness, witches, and jealous people.
