Al-Falaq or The Daybreak (Arabic: ٱلْفَلَقِ, al-falaq) is the 113th and penultimate chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an. Alongside the 114th surah (Al-Nas), it helps form the Al-Mu'awwidhatayn. Al-Falaq is a brief five ayat (verse) surah, asking God for protection from evil:

۝ Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak,
۝ From the evil of His creation
۝ And from the evil of darkness when it settles
۝ And from the evil of the blowers in knots
۝ And from the evil of an envier when he envies."
