114- An-Nas

Chapter/Surah 114- An Nas or Mankind

1. Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind,
2. The King (or Ruler) of Mankind,
3. The God (or Judge) of Mankind, -
4. From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper), -
5. Who whispers into the hearts of Mankind, -
6. Among Jinns and among Men.

This early Makkan Surah appeal us to trust Allah, rather than man, as our sure shield and protection. It warns us against the secret whispers of evil within our own hearts.

  • Verses 1, 2, 3 speak about the Divine Being / The Creator of Mankind / Allah 
  • Verses 4, 5 talks about the Devil / Satan [or who else whisper evil? ]
    Maybe- "evil ones among men and jinns"- (C.6 V.112) or "within our own self"?
  • Verse 6 proves that we are not alone here on Earth. There are creations/creatures among us, which some of us have limited or no knowledge of.
*So long as we put ourselves in Allah's protection, and trust in Allah, evil cannot really touch us in our essential and inner life.
