From Evening Azkar — Hisnul Muslim
The evening azkar include Surat al-Falaq, one of the two chapters of refuge by which a Muslim seeks protection from every evil that comes at night. It seeks refuge specifically from the evil of darkness when it settles and from sorcery and envy, making it fitting for the evening as night draws in with its darkness.
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيم قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ، مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ، وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ، وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ، وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ.
Bismi Allahi Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem qul 'a'oodhu birabbi lfalaqi، min sharri maa khalaqa، wamin sharri ghaasiqin 'iidhaa waqaba، wamin sharri lnnaffaathaati fia l'uqadi، wamin sharri haasidin 'iidhaa hasada.
