BISMILLAHIR RAHMANIR RAHEEM
QUL A-00'ZO BE RABBIL FALAQ. MIN SHARRE MAA KHALAQ.
WA MIN SHARRE GHAASEQIN EZAA WAQAB.
WA MIN SHARRIN NAFFAASAATE
FIL O'QADE.
WA MIN SHARRE HAASEDIN EZAA HASAD
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn. From the evil of what He has created. And from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes. And from the evil of those who blow on knots. And from the evil of the envious when he envies.
SURAH AL-FALAQ (THE DAWN)
This is a ‘Madani’ Surah and it has 5 ayaat. It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (S) that whoever recites this Surah in the month of Ramadhan in any of his prayers, it is as if he has fasted in Makkah and he will get the reward for performing Hajj and ‘Umra.
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s.) said that in the prayer of Shafa’a (in Salaatul-layl) one should recite Surah al-Falaq in the first rak’aat and an-Naas in the second.
