Tafseer Quran Surrah Al Falaq, 113

''My Tafsser al Quran Project''

Surrah al Falaq (The Daybreak)

Assalamualaikum wbt. Hello?

Bismillah. Today I'm going to do tafseer Quran for surrah Al Falaq. The surrah with five ayyah and it's Madaniyyah. I can't explain more and about behind the stories for this surrah -but Abu Saíd al Khudri said; ''Allah Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) used to seek refuge with Allh from the jinn and from the evil eye until the Mu'wadhatain (Surrah Al Falaq and An Nas) were revealed. There are lots comparison between these two surrah; al Falaq is you seek protection of Allah from uncontrolled physical harm especially in ''dhunya'', while An Nas is you ask Allah protection from inner and outside harm toward ourselves especially in ''deen''. 

MasyaAllah, Quran always related with one to another. That's why this kitab is too perfect for who's explore more about it and bring unexpected learning sense in every aspect. Alhamdulillah, I'm speechless. In the end of this surrah, I wish you will recognize the real evil that you want Allah keep it away from all of us. There are four classification; from obvious evil, from dark night, from the blow knot and from the envious one. InsyaAllah, may Allah protect and bless our every Muslims life. Without wasting any time, lets do this.

Bismillahirrahmannirrahim.

1-Say O Prophet Muhammad, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak''.

This ayyah is continuation from surrah Al Ikhlas that state of who is Allah; and here shows the word ''al Falaq''. There are several deeper meaning toward these; the owner of dawn or Fajr, the one that bring new day or the one that split from darkness.

Lesson to learn: After a long night of rest, Allah wake we up to a new day and new life. The Muslims then shows this grateful feeling by Fajr prayer (here my post if you want to read). In some part, Allah gives this opportunity for us to repent our last sin too. For me, with anything you do for that day at least make yourself 1% better than yesterday.

2-From the obvious evil or in whatever He created.

The obvious evil is Shaytaan or Iblis or spelling Iblees, a figure that frequently mention in the Quran which command to prostrate or submission himself to Adam but refused. After that, he pull of from heaven to hell and promised to influence human to be like him. Shaytaan then keep on ask Adam to eat the prohibited fruit, where when he did that- Allah sent Adam down to earth.

Lesson to learn: Who's Muslim enemy? It's them. In Quran 7:17, ''Iblis promised-Because You have sent me astray, surely I will lie wait against human on Your straight path. Then, I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and left. And You will not find of them as thankful ones.'' Then, makes a lots of gratefulness to Allah and may He bless us in this life.

3-And from the evil of the night when it grow darks.

Who's is the evil of the night? It itself, the darkness. In here, Allah tell us that don't keep yourself in darkness. When it is the night, stay at home because everything related to it will pull you to the accident or harm. Even in psychology of colors, black image are look so dangerous, mysterious and more to negativity. 

Lesson to learn: That's why when it sunset time or Maghrib, keep yourself in the home. Just spends more time with family members, recover yourself with healthy dinner, take a body rest after long working day and sleep well after that. In this time, you also can focuses on prayer or recite more Quran until the sun rise or dawn.

Darkness cannot be out with darkness, this is happened to us psychologically. If you see yourself start to fall slowly to it, pull yourself out. Find the light in every angel, try harder until sweat cover all over your body. Push yourself in any reasons and get out from that environment. You can do it, and keep in dhua'and ask Allah blessing for our journey. InsyaAllah.

4-From the evil of those withes casting spells by blowing onto knots.

The word ''naffassati'', women breaths; seems look normal but it's evil when she blows onto the knots with some spell. You can see this articles here about Muslim's belief and practices related to supernatural phenomena-by Pew Research Centre. Subhanallah, may Allah protect us from this evil eyes. The knot or something go around if it's so tight can bring a messy life in someone or sent them to death.  

Lesson to learn: As a women itself, we're pretend to be a gossip girl, It somehow bring ''nafas'' to another ''nafas'' and to another. We spread lies or scandal or unclear facts, which actually bring more harm than benefit in average. If you heard some rumors that you know it is not true, don't add the fire or make it more worse. The best practices are stop it and stay quiet. From that you but a barrier to this unnecessary things also need to stop from infected to others by you don't tell them about it. You stop the continuation and that's it.

5-And from the evil of an envier when they envy.

The envier, ''hasad'', is the one who feeling of something missing in his heart and need some more about it. And when he see the someone that have what he wants, the desire bring out the ''hasada''. Meaning of that word is the uncontrolled emotion, the evil inner part of him. Which that can bring to action or behavior of negativity, harm or even pain to himself or to another person. 

Lesson to learn: Control your emotion! Control your mind! How to do that? I also not sure but keep a healthy food intake, quality of sleep, good exercises ad breathing, cope well your bad experiences, stay away from ''drugs'' and stay in positive influence environment. One more thing, the most importantly is forgive yourself or others and let it go. Why need to be distress, jealousy and worry much about something; you the one ruin own life when you can choose to be happy. Again, see the first ayyah-Allah give us a new day and chance every time for us to make changes. InsyaAllah, there is the light for our future. 

Assalamualaikum and see you again.
