قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ
Say, ‘I seek the protection of the Lord of humans,
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 114:1
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 114:1] The prayer of al Falaq continues in an Nas. Man is asked to seek refuge with Allah who is his Lord, sovereign and God, from the power of evil of Shaytan and his followers among jinn and men who secretly whisper evil and then leave people to rebel against Allah and go astray. As has been said in the "general remarks" before the commentary of al Fatihah (see pages 9 to 12) by accepting Allah as the Lord, king and God, common people were liberated from the curse of superstition, ignorance and exploitation with which the false lords and kings of the world had been subjecting them since the beginning of collective life on the earth. For their emancipation and liberation Allah sent His messengers and prophets in every age. Therefore material and spiritual purification is not at all possible unless man turns to his supreme Lord, king and God-Allah.
