114- AN-NAS

MANKIND

For some issues relating to al-Nās, see the introduction to Sūrah 113. Like the previous sūrah, this sūrah takes its name from what the Prophet is told to swear by in the first verse, in this case mankind. Together these two sūrahs are known as al-Muʿawwidhatān, “The Two Protectors,” since their recitation together is thought to provide protection from all manner of evil and misfortune. Regarding the exalted status of the two sūrahs, the Prophet said, “God has sent verses down upon me of which none has seen their like: Say, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak’ to the end of the sūrah and, Say, ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind’ to the end of the sūrah”.
