Surah Al-Falaq — Protection from Every Evil

Surah Al-Falaq — Protection from Every Evil

The Prophet ﷺ said: "No seeker of refuge has ever sought refuge with anything like these two" — Al-Falaq and An-Nas (Abu Dawud 1463). Al-Falaq seeks the protection of the Lord of daybreak from external evils: creation's harm, darkness, envy, and sorcery.
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ۝ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
Qul a'udhu bi rabbil-falaq, min sharri ma khalaq, wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab, wa min sharrin-naffathati fil-'uqad, wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what He has created, and from the evil of darkness when it descends, and from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies.

Virtue and Source

Al-Mu'awwidhatain (the protective surahs) — recite morning, evening and before sleep — Abu Dawud 5082

When to Recite It

Recite it three times morning and evening, once after every prayer, and before sleep — blowing into cupped hands and wiping over the body as the Prophet ﷺ did (Bukhari 5017).
