What is Al-Mu’awwidhatayn?
1 min read
Two of the final chapters of the Holy Quran are particularly rich in virtue and blessings for those who read them. These chapters are known as Al-Muawwidhatayn (or Al-Muawwizatain). It is composed of Surah Falaq and Surah Nas.
Al-Muawwidhatayn means “the two verses for seeking refuge”, and this is because both Surah Falaq and Surah Nas start with “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of…”. They are the 113th and 114th surahs of the Quran and are used to seek protection against evil and illnesses.
