[42]. Surah Ash-Shura [The Consultation]: Ayat 047

৪৭. আল্লাহ তা’আলার পক্ষ থেকে অবশ্যম্ভাবী দিবস আসার পূর্বে তোমরা তোমাদের পালনকর্তার আদেশ মান্য কর।  সেদিন তোমাদের কোন আশ্রয়স্থল থাকবে না এবং তা নিরোধকারী কেউ থাকবে না।

 

Ayat 47. Answer the Call of your Lord (i.e. accept the Islamic Monotheism, O mankind, and jinns) before there comes from Allah a Day which cannot be averted. You will have no refuge on that Day nor there will be for you any denying (of your crimes as they are all recorded in the Book of your deeds).

Tafseer of Surah Al Shura (Consultation) Ayat 47. Hearken ye to your Lord, before there comes a Day which there will be no putting back, because of (the Ordainment of) Allah. That Day there will be for you no place of refuge nor will there be for you any room for denial (of your sins)!  The Day of Judgment is inevitable. Allah has ordained it, and it cannot in any way be put back. At Judgment no one can escape the consequences of his crimes or deeds. And no one can disavow them or deny them, or by any chance pretend that they do not apply to him.

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) used to seek protection against the evil of jinn and the evil eyes till Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Naas were revealed. After they were revealed, he took to them for seeking Allah's protection and left everything besides them.  [At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2058].

Lesson:  Like men, jinn’s have also good and bad elements among them. Almighty Allah has endowed them with such power that if they want they can, with the Will of Allah, harm human beings. This is the reason mischievous jinn’s harm people. Similarly, influence of the evil eye is also true. What it means is that if a person looks at someone with greed and envy, the evil effects of his look will reach the person viewed, and because of that he has to suffer some loss or trouble or accident. For this reason, the Prophet (PBUH) would seek the protection of Allah against the jinn’s and the evil eye and pray in his own words for it, saying: "I seek Your protection against jinn’s and evil eyes of the people.'' After the revelation of the Surah Al-Falaq and An-Naas (last two Surah of the Quran) he started reciting them because these were revealed for this purpose. These Surah are also called "Al-Mu`awwidhatain'' which mean two Surah which provide protection. It is, therefore, very useful to seek the protection of Allah by reciting them.
