قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ

114:1 Qulقُلْ (- Say!), This is Divine Command. We are enjoined to seek protection not only by verbal solicitation but also by deeds and actions to attract Allâh’s grace. According to Abul ‘Âliyah and other learned scholars such as Baghawî, Ibn Hajar, the word al-Nâsالنَّاسِ also signify Dajjâl - Anti-Christ. It is also reported that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) said that from the creation of man to the coming of the Hour, there is no creation greater in temptation than Anti-Christ is. (Bukhârî; Ma‘alim al-Tanzîl).
