Surat an-Nas (Arabic: سورة الناس ) (Mankind) is the 114th and last sura of the Qur'an. It is a brief 6-verse invocation, asking God for protection from Satan. It is a Makkan sura.
[edit] Summary, Lines 1-6
This short sura takes the form of a prayer, asking the reader to speak it aloud. It gives three increasingly more powerful titles of God as "the Lord of Men", "the King of Men", and finally "the God of Men". God is contrasted with Satan as a "whisperer" of evils into the "breasts... of jinn and men".
It and Surat al-Falaq are together termed the mu'awwidhatayn; dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair. There is a Sunnah tradition of reading it over the sick or before sleeping.
