This early Meccan Sura provides the antidote to superstition and fear by teaching us to seek refuge in Allah from every kind of ill arising from outer nature and from dark and evil plottings and envy on the part of others.
C.293-(Verses 1 to 5)-It is Allah Who brings forth light from darkness, life and activity from death, spiritual enlightenment from ignorance and superstition, banish fear, and trust His Providence. No danger, then, from the outer world, no secret plottings from perverted wills, no disturbance of your happiness or good, can affect the fortress of your inmost soul.
113:1 SURA 113. Falaq, or The Dawn. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn,
113:2 From the mischief of created things;
113:3 From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads;
113:4 From the mischief of those who practice Secret Arts;
113:5 And from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.
