قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ

113:1 Al-Falqالْفَلَقِ – “the dawn”, “the daybreak”. This expression is used in the Holy Qur’ân in two different contexts: Cleaver of the daybreak (- Fâliq al-Asbâh) and the One who causes the grain and the date-stone to germinate (- Fâlliq al-Habb wa al-Nawâ 6:96-97). The word also means the origin of the creation; the plain appearance of the truth after it had been dubious; an elevated ground; a low or depressed place of the earth between two hills; the hell (Lisân; Tâj). In this verse our attention has been drawn to the fact that it is by means of prayers that all impediments in our path can be removed and darknesses can be dispelled. In addition it tells us that even such an insignificant thing as a date-stone comes under the nourishment of the Lord and can produce excellent results in the form of green gardens and flourishing farms, similarly when a human being places himself under Divine protection and nourishment, it will surely produce very wonderful results.
