In the Name of Allah
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn,
From the evil of that which He has created,
And from the evil of intense darkness when it comes,
And from the evil of those who cast evil suggestions in firm resolutions,
And from the evil of the envier when he envies.—Quran 113:1-5 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men,
The King of men,
The God of men,
From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking devil,
Who whispers into the hearts of men,
From among the jinn and the men. —Qur’an 114:1-6
