Listening: seeking refuge

Meaning

A short sequential lesson with examples and review cards.

Explanation

Compare the similar openings of Al-Falaq and An-Nas: the noun after bi-rabbi changes. Listen to the end, not just the familiar beginning. Meanings help distinguish the phrases.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ

Qul a‘udhu bi-Rabbil-falaq

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak

Min sharri ma khalaq

مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

Min sharri ma khalaq

from the evil of what He created

Qul a‘udhu bi-Rabbin-nas

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ

Qul a‘udhu bi-Rabbin-nas

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of humanity

Malikin-nas

مَلِكِ النَّاسِ
