Evening Adhkar

Surah An-Nas

4 of 22

Say it 3 times

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ۝١ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ ۝٢ إِلَهِ النَّاسِ ۝٣ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ ۝٤ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ ۝٥ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ ۝٦﴾

Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi. Qul aʿoothu birabbi alnnasi. Maliki alnnasi. Ilahi alnnasi. Min sharri alwaswasi alkhannasi. Allathee yuwaswisu fee sudoori alnnasi. Mina aljinnati wa alnnasi.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind. The Sovereign of mankind. The God of mankind. From the evil of the retreating whisperer. Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind. From among the jinn and mankind.

Its virtue

The Prophet ﷺ said: recite al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq and an-Nas three times in the evening and the morning, and they will suffice you against everything.
