Seeking Protection with Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to seek protection from evil jinn and the evil eye until two surahs of the Quran were revealed, after which he only used those two surahs for protection.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah used to seek protection against the evil of jinn and the evil eyes till Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas were revealed. After they were revealed, he took to them for seeking Allah's protection and left everything besides them. At- Tirmidhi.

QUICK LESSONS:
Turn towards Allah's words in times of need, recite supplications regularly for protection against harm or danger.
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was known to seek protection from evil jinn and the evil eye through various means. However, when two surahs of the Quran - Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas - were revealed, he took to them for seeking Allah's protection instead of any other methods. These two surahs are known as 'the Mu'awwidhatayn', meaning 'the two that provide refuge'. They are both short chapters in the Quran that contain supplications asking Allah for His protection from all kinds of harm. This hadith teaches us that we should turn to Allah's words in times of need, as they are a powerful source of comfort and security. It also reminds us that we should always strive to recite these two chapters regularly in order to protect ourselves from any kind of harm or danger.
