“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak. From the evil of what He has 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 Al-Falaq 113:1–5)

“Blowers in knots” refers to black magic, where knots were blown into with evil intent.

Allah teaches us that ultimate safety comes only by seeking His protection
2. Whisperings of Jinn and Shaytan
“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind, The God of mankind, from the evil of the retreating whisperer—who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind—from among the jinn and mankind.”
(Surah An-Naas 114:1–6)
Explanation:
Jinn and Shaytan attack the mind with whispers (waswasa).

3. Qur’an as a Cure
“And We send down of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers…”
(Surah Al-Isra 17:82)
Explanation:
Reciting Qur’an brings spiritual healing, especially against unseen harm.
Regular recitation strengthens faith, reduces fear, and keeps the heart calm.
Psychological Connection
Negative thoughts (whispers) often mimic anxiety and overthinking — the Qur’an teaches us to fight them through remembrance.
Black magic harms most by fear, and fear is amplified by imagination. Reciting Surah Falaq and Naas re-centers the believer in Allah’s protection.
Seeking refuge builds a habit of spiritual mindfulness — always remembering Allah when fear strikes.
Jealousy/Envy in Social Media Age: These Surahs shield the heart from negativity and evil eyes.
Mental Clarity: Regular Qur’an reading silences inner whispers that disturb peace of mind.
Takeaway for Life
Black magic and Jinn may be real, but Allah’s protection is stronger.
The Qur’an arms you with verses that shield your body, mind, and soul.
Fear of the unseen is real, but Allah’s protection is greater. Surah Falaq and Naas are your shields against envy, whispers, and black magic.
