قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
Qul a'udhu bi Rabbil-Falaq. Min sharri ma khalaq. Wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab. Wa min sharrin-naffathati fil-'uqad. Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of 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.
Virtue
To be recited once after every obligatory prayer, and three times after Maghrib and Fajr prayers.
Tafsir
Surah Al-Falaq is a divine protection against four types of evil: the evil of creation, the darkness of night, sorcery, and envy. Reciting it after prayer extends the spiritual protection gained during salat and safeguards the believer in daily activities.
