114 Surah Naas

Surat An-Nas is the 114th and last surah, or chapter, of the Qur'an, the Muslim holy book. It is a short six-verse invocation, asking God (Allah) for protection from the Shaitan. There is a Sunnah tradition of reading this Surah for the sick or before sleeping. The surah takes its name from the word "people" or "mankind" (an-nas) which recurs throughout the Surah. Together with Sura Al-Falaq it is also known as Al-Mu'awwidhatayn; dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair. --- Updated: 2018-08-18
