Description:
Surah Al-Falaq or The Daybreak / Dawn is the 113th surah of the Qu’ran. It is a brief 5 ayat surah, asking Allah S.W.T for protection from the evil:

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah hir rahman nir rahim
“In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful”.


قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ
Qul a’oozu bi rabbil-falaq
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak

مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
Min sharri maa khalaq
from the evil of whatever He has created

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ
Wa min sharri ghaasiqin izaa waqab
and from the evil of the night when it grows dark

وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ
Wa min sharrin-naffaa-saati fil ‘uqad
and from the evil of those ˹witches casting spells by˺ blowing onto knots

وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
Wa min sharri hassidin izza hasad
and from the evil of an envier when they envy.”
