The Main Theme(s) This is the last Surah of the Quran and is partner to
the preceding Surah (Al-Falaq) The Surah was revealed to cure the Prophet whena spell was cast on him
It also teaches us to seek protection of AllahAlmighty against the evil effects of the whisperingof Satan that are aimed at distracting man from
the Right Path This Surah focuses on three important themes of
man's relation with Allah:1. Allah alone is the sole Sustainer and Supreme
over all humans2. Therefore, He is only to be worshipped3. Allah is the One who can protect us from all evil,
may that be hidden or visible

The Presentation of the Theme The themes of this Surah, overall Lordship of
Allah and the seeking of His protection against all
evil, have been presented differently from othersimilar passages in the Quran. Firstly, the concept of whisperings has been
identified as a method used by both Jinn and Manto divert a believer from the Right Path.
Secondly, it declares Allah in three shortsentences the relationship that Allah has withMan, namely being their Sustainer, King and God.
In other similar passages, such as Surah Falaq,such reminders of God-Man relationship are not
used, rather the powers of Allah as the creator ofall good as well as evil are presented. It is as if Allah is reminding us that as He is our
Sustainer, King and God, it is He who shallprotect us from all evil.
