4 Quls of Quran

[Arneeb Fatima]

Understanding the Significance of the Four Quls

The Four Quls, comprising Surahs al-Nas, al-Falaq, Ikhlas, and al-Kafirun, hold a paramount position in Islamic practice due to their profound messages and accessibility. These concise chapters serve as potent tools for seeking protection, warding off evil, and drawing blessings from Allah SWT. Their simplicity in both content and memorization makes them universally accessible, transcending age, gender, and knowledge levels. Through recitation and reflection upon these surahs, Muslims can find spiritual strength, solace, and guidance in adhering to the tenets of Islam, ultimately leading to a more purposeful and fulfilling life.

Surah al-Nas (Chapter 114: The Mankind)
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
The Sovereign of mankind,
The God of mankind,
From the evil of the whisperer who withdraws,
Who whispers in the breasts of mankind,
Among jinn and among mankind."

Surah al-Falaq (Chapter 113: The Dawn)
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
From the evil of that which He created
And from the evil of darkness when it settles
And from the evil of the blowers in knots
And from the evil of an envier when he envies."

Surah Ikhlas (Chapter 112: The Sincerity)
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."

These are the Four Quls of the Quran.

Surah al-Kafirun (Chapter 109: The Disbelievers)
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say, "O disbelievers,
I do not worship what you worship.
Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.
Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
