Compare 114:1 and 113:1

Last updated: Apr 9, 2026

highlighted words differ between verses

114:1 · An-Naas · Juz 30

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I seek refuge in the Lord of humankind,

113:1 · Al-Falaq · Juz 30

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak

Both opening verses begin with 'qul a'udhu bi rabb' but differ in the next word: 'al-falaq' in Al-Falaq vs 'al-nas' in Al-Nas — reciting one opening with the other's continuation is a common error in nightly prayers.
