Holy Quran is a book of knowledge and Wisdom. Though it is the holiest religious book of Muslims, though, to those who desire to know about the world and universe and the concept of ALLAH Almighty and how He alone is the Creator of all, Holy Quran presents vast examples and explains the whole thing in detail. Therefore, Muslims receive the double benefits of getting reward by reciting the Holy Quran, as well as finding commands and instructions to understand and know life and live it in a superior way.
Holy Quran is comprised of Surahs (chapters) where each and every verse had a specific reason behind its revelation. Furthermore, other than the verses being a part of Holy Quran that brings return, there are different verses that come with extraordinary virtues. Two of such renowned short chapters are Surah al Falaq, and Surah an Naas.
SURAH AL FALAQ:
The translation of the Surah al Falaq is:
“Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn. From the mischief of created things; from the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads; from the mischief of those who practice Secret Arts; and from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.”
Virtues of this surah:
One hadith shows that recitation of Surah al Falaq along with 2 other last chapters of Holy Quran was the Sunnah of Prophet (PBUH) and He would have the recital wipe over His body as if making a protective layer. Hence, a Muslim should also consider following the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (PBUH) and then be familiar with the endless benefits it brings to a person.
Finding Insight:
If a person considers over the verses of Surah al Falaq then a person can easily assess that these verses refer to seeking safety and protection of ALLAH Almighty, initially from all kinds of evil that befalls in night or day. Secondly, shield from those people who practice magic and thirdly, defence from those who are envious and jealous and conduct acts of jealousy.
All these three are the most generally occurring things that can easily harm a person. Hence, this Surah tells that if a person is to seek guard and protection from these 3 kinds of ills, then one should invoke ALLAH Almighty. Hence, the recitation of Surah al Falaq can assist a great deal in fighting envy, evil, and secret arts.
SURAH AN NAAS:
The translation of Surah an Naas is:
“Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind, the King (or Ruler) of Mankind – the ALLAH (or Judge) of Mankind – from the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper) – (The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind – Among Jinns and among Men.”
Virtues:
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used these 2 Surahs as a means of shield from Jinns and to ward of the attacks and effects of evil eye. Hence, a Muslim should get into the habit of reciting this chapter every day.
Finding Insight:
In Surah an Naas the safeguard is from the evil whispers of Shaitan, the evil whispers of individuals and the Jinn.
