Abridged by Dr. 'Aqil ibn Salim al-Shammar.
Surah al-Falaq.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak” (113:1)
“From the evil of that which He created;” (113:2)
“From the evil of the darkness when it is intense,” (113:3)
"And from the evil of the blowers in knots."
“And from the evil of the envier when he envieth.” (113:5)
The Exalted says, instructing His Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:
Say, O Muhammad, "I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak,"
From the evil of everything,
Since everything other than Him is part of His creation.
And from the evil of the darkness when it enters and descends upon us with its gloom.
And from the evil of the sorceresses who blow into the knots of thread,
When they recite incantations over them.
And from the evil of every envier when he envies,
Whether he disparages, practices sorcery, or seeks to bring harm upon another.
