1. Surat Al-Nass V

2. Virtues Revelation Surat Al-Nass was r evealed together with Surat Al- Falaq. Surat Al Falaq : The Ayat mention the things we fear. Surat Al-Naas : The Ayat mention the ONE we are running TO for protection (Allah) This Surah relates to asking protection from things within ourselves . These are things we are responsible for ourselves . (Al-Falaq relates to asking protection from things outside of ourselves: Things not in our control- like the evils of the night, and the knot blowers. When we recite this Surah, we are showing humility towards Allah (S). We are admitting that we have weaknesses and are in need of Allah’s help. We turn to Him for every need…. Recite this Surah (along with Surat Al-Falaq) before bed and after every Salah.

3. #1 #1 Say I seek protection with the RABB (Master) of all people R ABB i s someone who OWNS but also has complete authority. EX: You may own a car, but you don’t have complete authority. You can’t drive it 100 MPH...you can’t run red lights, you can’t knock over the mailboxes. When a policeman pulls you over, you can’t just say : “ Well I own the car. I can do whatever I want!” RABB is someone who OWNS but also TAKES CARE. EX: You may own a car but you don’t take care of it. You don’t clean it, you don’t get your oil change on time. RABB is the first word Allah (S) used to describe Himself in the Quran: “IQRAA BISMI RABIKA ALLTHEE KHALAQ” THE SUMMARY OF OUR RELIGION IS: I AM SLAVE + ALLAH IS RABB (MASTER) A lot of people have no problem admitting that Allah is the creator, but they don’t want to admit that they are a slave to Him .

4. #2 #2 The King of all people Just as every country has only ONE King, Our Universe has only ONE King and that is Allah (S). Allah (S) is the Supreme King, who rules all of creation.

5. # 3 The God of all people The Shaytan can affect people enough to make them believe they’re God- to make them arrogant. Example: Look at the Fir’one who told his people that he is their Lord. The whispers of Shaytan can turn us all into mini Firo’nes if we allow our ego to tell us we are our own God. We can start to believe we can choose what’s right and wrong for ourselves. We can start to believe that we don’t need Allah. When we obey our desires over the desire of Allah, we are treating those desires like a God. This is ironic because the word NASS comes from the word NISYAN which means TO FORGET … We are asking Allah to never let us forget our place in life…. to never forget our Master.

6. #4. #4 From the evil of the whisperer, who keeps coming back The Shaytan doesn’t give up after putting an evil thought into our minds. He keeps trying over and over, hoping to slowly lure us into sin. He is very persistent. Example : When he lured Adam and Eve to eat from the forbidden tree, he did not succeed on his first try.

7. #5. #5 The one who whispers in the chest of people The Shaytan was the FIRST one in history to exhibit ENVY when he was envious of the creation of Prophet Adam. This connects to the last Ayah from Surat Al-Falaq where we ask protection from ENVY. Shaytan himself is the source of all jealousy. He whispers to people to put envy in their hearts. A llah didn’t give Shaytan access to our heart- only to our chest. He’s not in our house, he’s only in the backyard. He can only come inside if we let him in. He can only affect our heart if we give him access. If Allah’s remembrance is in our heart, sins will look bad to us- we won’t be tempted. We won’t look at a sin and like it or wish to indulge in it .

8. From the jinn and the people #6 Sometimes Shaytan whispers evil thoughts to us, but other times people can affect us negatively. Our own families and friends can sometimes lead us along the wrong path and we need to be aware of that. Jinn, like humans are held responsible for their actions. They too can be affected by the whispers of the Shaytan
