The text
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ ﴿١﴾
مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ ﴿٢﴾
إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ ﴿٣﴾
مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ ﴿٤﴾
ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ ﴿٥﴾
مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ ﴿٦﴾

What is this surah about?
An-Nas is the last surah of the Quran. We ask for the protection of Allah, the Lord, the King and the God of all people. We ask Him to protect us from the whisperer who whispers bad thoughts into the heart and then hides. It teaches children that when a bad thought comes, they can turn to Allah.
A short explanation for children, not a translation.
How to memorise it
- Listen. Listen to the first verse a few times. Follow the words with your finger.
- Repeat. Say the verse after the reciter, bit by bit, until you can say it in one go.
- Recite. Recite the verse without looking. In Hudhudo the app listens and shows which words you already got right.
- One verse a day. Only add the next verse once the one before it is solid. Always start from the first verse.
- Review tomorrow and after a week. What you review, you keep. In Hudhudo, smart review shows which surahs are due again.
Tip for parents who don't read Arabic
You don't need to read Arabic to help. Play the recitation and listen together. Then let your child recite the verse to you and count the verses on your fingers. Ten minutes at a fixed time each day, for example after dinner, is enough.
Practise this surah in the app
In Hudhudo your child listens to the verse, repeats it and recites it, while Hudhudo listens and cheers them on. Try it for free.
