An-Nas An-Nas

An-Nas - Definition

Surat an-Nas (Mankind) is the 114th and last sura of the Qur'an. It is a brief 6-verse invocation, asking God for protection from Satan. It is a Makkan sura.

It and Surat al-Falaq are together termed the mu'awwidhatayn; dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair. There is a sunna tradition of reading it over the sick or before sleeping.

Its text, in Pickthall's translation, is as follows:

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

  1. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
  2. The King of mankind,
  3. The God of mankind,
  4. From the evil of the sneaking whisperer,
  5. Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind,
  6. Of the jinn and of mankind.
