About this surah

Classed as a Meccan sura, it is the final sura of the Quran. It begins with the command 'Say,' followed by 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.' God is then called the King of mankind and the God of mankind, so that the word 'mankind' closes each of the first three verses. Verses 4 to 6 narrow the request to a single source of harm: the whisperer who withdraws, who whispers in the breasts of people and who may be found among both jinn and human beings. Whereas the preceding sura lists several outward harms, this one focuses on whispers that reach the inner self. Spoken in the first person, it is a short prayer for protection addressed to God under three titles.

• The Lord of mankind
• King and God of mankind
• The withdrawing whisperer
• Jinn and humans

The name It is named after 'mankind' (an-Nas), the word repeated in verses 1–3 and again in verses 5–6.
