About the Book:
This book is an English translation of Ibn Al-Qayyim’s explanation of Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas.

Although these two Surahs of the Quran are separate entities and are written in the Mushaf also under separate names, yet they are so deeply related mutually and their contents so closely resemble each other’s that they have been designated by a common name Mu’awwidhatayn (the two Surahs in which refuge with Allah has been sought). Imam Baihaqi in Dala’il an-Nubuwwat has written that these Surahs were revealed together, that is why the combined name of both is Mu’awwidhatayn.
