Surah al Ikhlas

From Morning Azkar — Hisnul Muslim

Among the protective morning azkar is Surat al-Falaq, a plea for refuge in the Lord of the daybreak from every created evil. Reciting it three times in the morning shields the believer from harm, envy, and sorcery, by Allah's leave.

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.
