Surah Al-Falaq

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn,

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

From the evil of what He has created,

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ

And from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes,

وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ

And from the evil of those who blow on knots,

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

And from the evil of the envious when he envies
