The Last Three Surahs

Source: Abu Dawud 5082, Tirmidhi 3575

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ. قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ. قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ، مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ. قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ، مَلِكِ النَّاسِ، إِلَهِ النَّاسِ، مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ، الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ، مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ

Translation

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. And there is none like unto Him. [Then Al-Falaq and An-Nas: seeking refuge with the Lord of the daybreak and the Lord of mankind from all evil.]

What this dua means

Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas. Three short chapters that gather the heart of seeking protection, each read three times.

When to read it

Every morning and evening.

Its virtue

Reciting these three surahs three times in the morning suffices as protection for the day.
