Closing pages from a Mamluk Qur'an with chapter 113 and 114 in muhaqqaq script. Cairo, c. 1360-1380. Chester Beatty Library

Al-Nas or Mankind (Arabic: ٱلنَّاس, romanizedan-nās) is the 114th and last chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an. It is a short six-verse invocation.

The chapter takes its name from the word "people" or "mankind" (al-nas), which recurs throughout the chapter. This and the preceding chapter, Al-Falaq ("Daybreak"), are known Al-Mu'awwidhatayn ("the Refuges"): dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair.

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the believed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier Meccan surah, which indicates a revelation in Mecca rather than Medina. Early Muslims were persecuted in Mecca when Muhammed began preaching there, but gained power and protection while in Medina, where Muhammad became a leader.

There is a Sunnah tradition of reading this chapter for the sick or before sleeping.

Impacts of the sūrah on a Muslim's life

[edit]

According to 14th century exegesis of Ibn Kathir (tafsir), it has been reported from Abu Sa'id that: Prophet Muhammad used to seek protection from the evil eyes of the jinn and mankind. But when the Muawwidhatayn were revealed, he used them (for protection) and abandoned all else besides them. Al-Tirmidhi, An-Nisai and ibn Majah recorded this.
