 Marking Scheme

This is the last Surah of the Quran which highlights

Allah’s relations with Human kind. This passage
focuses on three important aspects of man’s relation
with Allah lordship, sovereignty and divinity.
Developing this association with Allah, will help a
believer to guard against the temptations, incursion
of Satan and host of men and Jinns who are bent
upon attacking the faith of believers.
 This Surah further asks us to seek refuge from the evil of the
whisperer who repeatedly whispers evil suggestion into
 hearts of mankind. It is the tendency of the Satan to whisper
wicked thoughts then withdraw as soon as Allah
 Almighty is remembered.
 The evil forces mislead man from the right path. Therefore,
Quran says, “O my Lord! I seek refuge with You from
 the suggestion of the evil ones.” (23:97).
 The supreme omnipotent, and the powerful nature of Allah
Almighty can
 grant protection against all such evils since He is the most
exalted in glory
 (b)

 This Surah emphasizes upon the unfailing strength of

Almighty Allah to provide refuge to man against all forces
of evils. It shows that Allah Almighty is Omnipotent,
omniscient and the only one upon whom a person can rely
upon.
 It also teaches us to seek refuge from the evil forces, which
cause to mislead man from the right path. When a person
remembers Allah, the devils holds back, but when he
becomes unmindful of remembrance of Allah the devil
again comes forward. The act of evil whispering may be
done by the devil and his helpers or evil temptation within
man himself.
Believers must remember that Allah alone is the
Master, Lord and King of all humans and therefore,
has full powers to give them protection against evil
forces and Satan
The Holy Prophet (SAW) used to recite Surah Falaq
and Surah Al-Nas to guard against evils after his
enemies had cast magic spells on him.
He also advised his followers to recite this Surah
before going to bed every night.

Falaq and Nas collectively known as

came out of the effect of the magic.
