Say [Prophet], “I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak, against the harm in what He has created, the harm in the night when darkness gathers, the harm in witches when they blow on knots, the harm in the envied when he envies.”
How many times did you ask yourself: why did Allah create darkness and evilness? Why did he create something so distant from what He teaches us to be?
Surah Al-Falaq reminds us that Allah created everything for a reason, even what seems to be so distant from goodness, for we need to recognize the darkness in order to praise the light. So we pray Allah and ask Him to protect us everyday from what might hurt us.

I really recommend you to use this app to read the Qur’an, it’s really useful for when you have no other way to read it.
I’ve been using this for a month now and I love it!
The app is really well structured, it allows you to translate everything in every language you want, to highlight the most significant Ayats, to add bookmarks and notes to any Surah you want, and you can actually play Surahs and listen to them.
They also have a website, I’m pretty sure everyone knows it, but the app just works better!
You can find it by simply typing “Qur’an” in your App Store. Hope this helps someone!!!
Let me know if you download it, I’ll share a new Surah this evening!!!🤍
