(Arabic: سورة الفلق, "Dawn, Daybreak")
This is the 113th Surah of the Qur'an.
It is a brief five verse invocation, asking Allah for protection from the evil of soothsayers and envious.
Surah Al Falaq surah and surah An Nas are the two surahs that are collectively referred to as Al-Mu'awwidhatayn.
PERIOD OF REVELATION
These surahs were sent down at Makkah in the first instance when opposition to the Prophet Muhammad (sallalaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) had grown very intense. Later, when at Madinah, storms of opposition were raised by the hypocrites, Jews and polytheists, the Prophet was instructed to recite these very Surahs, as has been mentioned in the tradition from Hadrat Uqbah bin Amir.
After this, when magic was worked on him, and his illness grew intense, Angel Jibraeel ('alaihis salaam) came and instructed him by Allah's command to recite these two Surahs.
THEME AND SUBJECT MATTER
Surah Falaq ⇨ This Surah teaches us to seek refuge with the Lord of the dawn, from the evil of everything that He has created, and from the evil of the darkness of night and from the evil of magicians, men and women, and from the evil of the envious people".
