Lesson-6a: Surah Al-Naas

In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

An-Naas: Last Surah of the Qur’an.

– In this Surah we take refuge in Allah from our number 1 enemy, the most evil wicked and worst enemy.

– Each one of us has a Shytaan always with him. Don’t be afraid! We have angels too always with us. And Allah with His huuuuuuuge powers is always with us also. How many students are here? 25, 30? So, there are at least 25 Shayateen right here. And more than 25 angels too. And Allah is high above watching and protecting all of us.

Last Surah

– Allah loves us and therefore He gave us the perfect formula in this Surah to protect ourselves.

– Allah gave this Surah at the end of the Qur’an. Even if we finish the Qur’an, we need to follow it. And Shaitaan does not want us to do that. Therefore in the end, Allah gave us this Surah to protect ourselves from Shaitaan’s.

1. Rabbin-naas: the Lord of Mankind

– The Lord, one who feeds all humans, helps them grow, and takes care of them. Not only food but there is something which Allah feeds us every second!!! What is it? Oxygen. If you block your nose, you will die!

– Remember! Money can not feed us. If the earth does not grow food, can we eat money??? Can we ear papers??? Bills, coins??? No, it is Allah swt who is feeding us and helping us grow, who is taking care of us.

– Visualize that Allah is in full control of each one of these 8 billions. He gives them life as well as death. He is real and true King WITH ALL THE POWERS. He is the king of all humans as well as the rest of the universe. He is the Real King, the King of kings.

– When we say He is the King, then we should also follow his orders also.

3. Ilaahin-naas: The God of Mankind

– He is the true God even though many people may not worship Him because they don’t know or they are bad or arrogant.

– You may have heard of plane crashes. All those people inside the plane cry and beg Allah or God to save them. They know that Allah is the One who protect them. Every one in big problems does the same.

4. Min Sharril waswaas: From the evil of the whisperer

– When we forget that Allah is watching, Shytaan whispers. As soon as we have bad feelings, we should immediately take Allah’s protection. How? By saying A’oodhubillah and Pray, or Recite this Surah, or Reciting Quran, correcting others, be good, help others, have good manners, etc,.

واسمنشر (4)ال خناسال وس Miº-sharril-waswaasil khannas

from (the) evil

(of) the whisperer,

the one who withdraws after whispering –

Khannas: Who withdraws

– When we say A’oodhubillah and do good things, Shytaan fails miserably. He gets defeated and becomes khannas, i.e., he withdraws; runs away.

(4)ال خناسal khannas

the one who withdraws after whispering –

5. Alladhi yuwaswisu fee sudoorin-naas:

– Allah has given a chance to Shytaan to whisper into our hearts. This is to test us, and to see if we listen to Allah or to Shytaan.

– You can easily find out when Shytaan whispers!!!
