Surah An-Nas

Surah An-Nas, the final chapter of the Quran, reminds us to seek refuge in Allah, protecting ourselves from Satan’s whispers and our own evil inclinations.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Translation: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ

Qul a’udhu birabbin-nas

مَلِكِ النَّاسِ

إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ

Ilahin-nas Translation: The God of mankind,

مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ

Min sharril-waswasil-khannas

Translation: From the evil of the whisperer (devil who whispers evil in the hearts of men) who withdraws (from his whispering in one’s heart after one remembers Allah),

الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ

Alladhi yuwaswisu fi sudoorin-nas

Translation: Who whispers in the breasts of mankind,

مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ

Surah An-Nas teaches us to seek Allah’s protection from evil. We recite it to find refuge from Satan’s whispers and harmful desires. May Allah grant us wisdom and comfort in His care.
