Surah An-Naas with English and Urdu translation
Summary of Surah An-Naas
Surah an-Nas is Madani, it has six verses, the second surah of the two surahs (Mu’awaztain), and there are many hadiths about the virtues of these two surahs. Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ), said about these surahs: “Don’t you know that two such surahs have been revealed today that have no precedent, that is, these two surahs in seeking refuge with Allah Subhanahoo Wata’alaa, are unparalleled.” Imam Ibn Qayyim (رحمہ اللہ), says that no one is exempt from these two surahs; these are incredibly effective in removing physical and spiritual calamities.
Three attributes of Allah Subhanahoo Wata’alaa are mentioned in Surat an-Naas:
- Lordship
- Ownership
- Divinity
By mentioning these three attributes, it has been ordered to seek refuge from the evil of one thing: the sin of the whisperer. This proves how dangerous and deadly disease whispering is; Shaitaan and humans do whisper. Today’s media is busy whispering about faith in the hearts of Muslims, and the whispering disease has become prevalent, so there is a need to recite these two surahs frequently.
There is a deep connection between bringing these two surahs at the end of the Qur’an and starting with Surah Al-Fatiha, Allah’s help was sought in Surah Al-Fatiha, and the same subject is also in these two surahs. It is as if it has been pointed out that the servant should remain focused on Allah Subhanahoo Wata’alaa from the beginning to the end and keep asking Him for help.
This point should also be understood here that Surah Falaq was ordered to take refuge from four calamities by mentioning one attribute. Here it is ordered to seek refuge from one calamity by mentioning four attributes because, in the first surah, the self and the safety of the body is required. In contrast, it is necessary to avoid harm to religion and its security in the second surah. The slightest loss of faith is more dangerous than the most significant loss in the world. If we have established an authentic relationship with the Qur’an and try to read it, understand it, follow it and fulfill all its rights, then if Allah wills it! The religion and faith of us and our future generations will be preserved.
