Meaning: The Daybreak | Has 5 Verses | Revealed In: Mecca (Makki Surah)
1. قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ
Say: I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of daybreak,
2. مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
From the evil of whatever He (Allah) has created,
3. وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ
And from the evil of the night when it grows dark,
Meaning: Evil of the night may be related to physical dangers like wild animals, harmful people, or criminals. Spiritual harms such as black magic, evil whispers, and the presence of jinn.
4. وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ
And from the evil of those who blow on knots (practicing witchcraft),
5. وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
And from the evil of the envier when he envies.
Meaning: A person who feels jealous of others' blessings and wants them to lose what they have — like wealth, beauty, success, or status. Not all envy is acted upon, but when a person allows jealousy to grow into hatred, harm, or action (like gossip, evil eye, or sabotage), it becomes evil and dangerous.
Surah Al-Falaq is a powerful chapter from the Qur’an seeking Allah’s protection from all kinds of evil — including magic, envy, and darkness. It was regularly recited by the Prophet ﷺ every morning, evening, and before sleeping. This Surah teaches us to turn to Allah for safety from both seen and unseen harms.
