A group of exegetes have said that surah Falaq and Nās respectively were revealed to Prophet Muhammad after his holiness became ill. Therefore, God revealed this surah to the Prophet whereupon the angel Gabriel (جِبرائيل) told him that a Jewish man had put a curse on him and the curse was in a well.The effectiveness of these surahs (Al-Falaq and An-Naas) is great to repel magic, evil eye, and the rest of the evils and the need for a slave to seek Allah's protection from these two surahs is greater than his need for self, eating, driking, and wearing dress.Surah Falaq is the 113th chapter of the Quran and only consists of 5 ayats. This make it very easy to read and memorize.
سوره فلق، سوره 113 قرآن و جزو چهارقل است. سوره فلق از سورههای مکی قرآن که در جزء سیام قرار گرفته است. سوره فلق ۵ آیه، ۲۳ کلمه و ۷۳ حرف دارد. این سوره به لحاظ حجمی جزو سورههای مُفصَّلات است. بیستمین سورهای که بر پیامبر(ص) نازل شده است سوره فلق می باشد .
خداوند در این سوره به پیامبر (ص) دستور میدهد از هر شرّی به خدا پناه ببرد، مخصوصاً از شر تاریکی شب، زنان افسونگر و شر حسودان.
برخی از مفسران اهل سنت گویند این سوره هنگامی نازل شد که مردی یهودی، پیامبر (ص) را سِحر کرد و پیامبر به سبب آن بیمار شد. پس از آمدن جبرئیل و نزول سوره فلق و ناس، آیاتی از آن بر پیامبر (ص) خوانده شد و او از بستر بیماری برخاست. برخی از عالمان شیعه به این سخن اشکال کردهاند و گفتهاند سحر و جادو بر پیامبر (ص) اثر نمیکند.
نامگذاری سوره فلق:
این سوره را فَلَق نامیدهاند که از آیه اول آن گرفته شده است. فلق به معنای صبح و سپیدهدم است.نام دیگر این سوره، «مُعَوِّذَة» (پناه بردن) است که از واژه «عوذ: پناه بردن» در آیه اول گرفته شده است. سوره فلق و سوره ناس را مُعَوِّذَتین گویند. این دو سوره را به دلیل اینکه آنها را در مواقع احساس خطر میخوانند، مُشَقشَقَتَین نیز گفتهاند.
