Surah al-Falaq ayah 1
Qul a'udhu bi rabb al-falaq
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah:
Jabir says that Falaq means morning. The Qur'an itself says (Cleaver of the daybreak) (6:96). Ibn 'Abbas says that Falaq means creation. Ka'b Al-Ahbar says that Falaq is a place in the Hell. When its gate is opened all the inmates of Hell cry out because of the intensity of its heat. Ibn Jarir and Imam Bukhari say that it means morning and this view seems reasonable. Allah directs believers to seek refuge in the Lord of the Falaq.
