113. Surah Al-Falaq سورة الفلق

Next »



This Surah (Revealed) Meccan or Medinese, consisting of 5 verses. This sūra and the next one were revealed when Labīd the Jew placed a spell on the Prophet (s) using a string with eleven knots. God informed him of this and of its place, and so it was brought before the Prophet (s) and he was commanded to âseek refuge [in God]â by means of these two sūras; and so each time he recited a verse from them, a knot would become undone and he would sense an alleviation, until in the end all the knots had been undone and he stood up invigorated, as if he had previously been hobbled to the ground.(Al-Falaq)

and from the evil of an envier when he enviesâ, [when] he manifests his envy and behaves in accordance with it â such as the mentioned Labīd from among the Jews who were envious of the Prophet (s); the mention of these three [elements of evil] which are [already] subsumed by [the statement] âof what He has createdâ, is because of the severity of their evil.
