![]() It is used to refer to the moon because the moons presence is mostly at night. The most correct saying is that it is general to mean both.Īs for the meaning of night, this is due to Allah’s saying:Įstablish prayer at midday until the darkness (Ghasaq) of the night.Īs for the night, many creatures are active at that time so refuge should be sought from the evil of the Ghaasiq – the darkness of night.Īs for the word meaning of the moon, there has come in a Hadeeth that the Prophet SAW once showed Aisha the moon and said: ![]() (Ghassiq) “night.” It is said that Ghaasiq (and other words derived from the same Arabic root word) means the darkness of night and its meaning has also been given as the moon. The verse, “from the evil of what He created,” includes the evils ones (Shayaateen) from among mankind, jins (other coexisting creatures unseen by mankind), and other creatures. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our own selves. Similarly, this has come in Khutbatul Haajah in which the Prophet SAW said: So when you say, “from the evil of what He created,” then the first thing that enters among this is your own self. (He is) the cleaver (Faaliq) of the daybreak.įrom the evil of all types of creations, even the evil of one’s own self as the soul is often inclined to evil. Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.Indeed, Allah is the One who splits and sprouts (Faaliq) the grain and seed.and from the evil of the night when it grows dark.and from the evil of those blowing onto knots. ![]() And from the evil of an envier when he envies.”. ![]() Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.from the evil of the lurking whisperer –.Who whispers into the hearts of mankind –.Imam Baihaqi in Dala’il an-Nubuwwat has written that these Surahs were revealed together, that is why the combined name of both is Al-Mu’awwidhatayn. When the Holy Prophet SAW greatly disappointed the disbelievers of Makkah by refusing to make any type of faith-based compromise with them, and in Surah Al-Kafirun they were plainly told: “I do not worship those who you worship nor are you worshipers of Him Whom I worship. For you is your religion and for me is mine”, the amount of hatred reached new heights.įamilies whose members (men or women, boys or girls) had adopted Islam were enraged by the Holy Prophet from within. Many people were envious of him because they couldn’t stand it if a man from a different family or clan flourished and rose to prominence.įor example, Abu Jahl himself has described why he was going to such extremes in his hatred for him: They were cursing him, conducting secret meetings to assassinate him discreetly, so that the Bani Hashim would not be able to track down the killer and exact vengeance sorcery and spells were being used against him to bring about his death, or cause him to become ill or insane satans from among the men and the jinn spread on all sides, whispering one or another evil into the minds of the people against him and the Qur’an brought by him, causing them to distrust him and flee. Allah loves it when one reads these two surahs, especially surah Al-Falaq.They are the best chapters of the Quran to recite.Praying muawwidhatayn before sleeping and blowing into your hands, then rubbing over your body keeps illnesses away.Reciting these two surahs protects you from all evil.“We and the Bani Abdi Manaf (to which the Holy Prophet belonged) were rivals of each other: they fed others, we too fed others they provided conveyances to the people, we too did the same they gave donations, we too gave donations, so much so that when they and we have become equal in honor and nobility, they now proclaim that they have a Prophet who is inspired from the heaven how can we compete with them in this field? By God, we will never acknowledge him, nor affirm faith in him”.
