Al-Falaq

The Daybreak

ٱلْفَلَق

A short prayer of refuge: the believer is taught to seek protection in the Lord of the dawn from four kinds of evil — created harm, the encroaching night, occult practice, and envy.

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak,

from the evil of that which He created,

and from the evil of darkness when it settles,

and from the evil of the blowers in knots,

and from the evil of an envier when he envies."
