An-Nas
Al-Nas or Mankind () is the 114th and last chapter ('' sūrah'') of the Qur'an. It is a short six- verse invocation. The chapter takes its name from the word "people" or "mankind" (''al-nas''), which recurs throughout the chapter. This and the preceding chapter, Al-Falaq ("Daybreak"), are known Al-Mu'awwidhatayn ("the Refuges"): dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation ('' asbāb al-nuzūl''), it is an earlier " Meccan surah", which indicates a revelation in Mecca rather than Medina. Early Muslims were persecuted in Mecca where Muhammed was not a leader, and not persecuted in Medina, where he was a protected leader. There is a Sunnah tradition of reading this chapter for the sick or before sleeping. Verses and translations Verse and translation In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. 1 Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I seek refuge in the Lord of humank ...
