The Three Quls (Al-Mu'awwidhat) — Words of remembrance for morning and evening

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ﴿قُل هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ* اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ* لَم يَلِد وَلَم يُولَد* وَلَم يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ﴾.) (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ﴿قُل أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الفَلَقِ* مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ* وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ* وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي العُقَدِ* وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ﴾.) (بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ﴿قُل أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ* مَلِكِ النَّاسِ* إِلَهِ النَّاسِ* مِن شَرِّ الوَسوَاسِ الخَنَّاسِ* الَّذِي يُوَسوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ* مِنَ الجِنَّةِ وَ النَّاسِ﴾
