This type of book provides detailed explanations of the final three chapters of the Holy Quran, known as Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112), Surah Al-Falaq (Chapter 113), and Surah An-Nas (Chapter 114). These chapters are collectively called "Al-Mu'awwidhatayn" (the two seeking refuge chapters for the last two) along with Surah Al-Ikhlas.
Surah Al-Ikhlas discusses the fundamental concept of God's oneness and unity. It declares that Allah is one, eternal, and has no equals or partners. This chapter is considered equivalent to one-third of the Quran in terms of its spiritual significance. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to recite this chapter regularly, especially before sleep.
Surah Al-Falaq is a chapter seeking protection from various forms of evil, including the harm of darkness, black magic, and envy. The word "Falaq" means daybreak or dawn, symbolizing the emergence of light from darkness. This chapter teaches believers to seek refuge in Allah from all types of harm and evil forces.
Surah An-Nas focuses on seeking Allah's protection from the whispers and temptations of Satan and evil influences from both jinn and humans. It emphasizes that Allah is the Lord, King, and God of mankind, and only He can provide complete protection from spiritual and physical harm.
These three chapters hold special significance in Islamic tradition. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to recite them together three times in the morning and evening for protection, and also when he was ill. They are frequently recited for spiritual protection and are considered among the most powerful prayers in Islam.
