RECITATION AFTER SURAH FATIHAH

It is sunnah for a person who is praying that he should read a surah from Qur'an after Fatihah in the first two rakats of the fard prayer. He can recite one or more surahs. Here are a few short surahs which you can recite.

a) Surah Ikhlas

"Qul huwal lahu ahad. Allah hus-samad. Lam yalid walam yulad. Walam yakul-lahu Kufuwan ahad."

"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child, and He Was not born of anyone. There is no one equal to Him."

b) Surah Falaq.

"Qul Auzubi rab-bil fataq. Min shar-rima Khalaq.

Wa min shar-ri ghasiqin iza waqab.

Wa min shar-rin naf-fathati fil 'uqad.

Wa min shar-ri hasidin Iza Hasad

"Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn,

from the evil of all that He has treated, and from the evil of the darkness of night when it falls

and from the evil of those (charmers) who blow into knots.

And from the evil of the envier when he envies."

c) Surah Nas.

"Qul A'uzubi rab-bin nas. Malikin nas. Ila hin-nas.

Min shar-ril waswa sil khan-nas.

Allazi yuwaswisu fee sudu rin-nas.

Minal jin-nati wan-nas.

"Say: I seek refuge in the sustainer of mankind. the Owner of Mankind, Lord of Mankind.

From the evil of the sneaking whisperer.

Who whispers in the hearts of mankind.

(Whether he be) from among jinns or mankind."
