[2] 1.
Say, [Mohammed]: "I seek protection [of God] the Lord of the [nuclear]
fission a [in the sun]," [3] 2.
"From the evil of that He has created b," [4] 3.
"And from the evil of that [long] dark night c when it will settle," [5] 4.
"And from the evil of [devils] inspiring [their suggestions d] into the convolutions [of the brain]," [6] 5. "And from the evil of the envious e when he envies." |

The meaning of the Arabic word in the aya is ‘the
fission’, which has been explained in the interpretation of the Quran 6: 95,
which means: (God is the Cleaver of the grain
and the seed.) And also in His saying – be
glorified – in the following aya: 6:96, which
means: ([He is] the Cleaver of [the atom
in the sun for] radiating light.) 2 b i.e. from the evil of any
creature that may do any hurt. 3 c Which will last for one thousand
years, and about which we have previously explained. 4 d The Arabic word in the aya
means the casting of words of
inspiration to man’s memory. So if such cast words come from the angels, it
is called ‘inspiration’, and if from the devils, it is called ‘suggestions
and blasphemy’. This is like His saying – be
glorified – in the Quran 114: 4, which means: (From the evil of the invisible
whispering.) It means: from the evil whispering
or suggestions of devils. Moreover, it is narrated that
Prophet Mohammed – salam to him – said: “The Holy Ghost has cast into my
consciousness.” It means: Gabriel inspired into me and sent the words into my
memory. And he said at the commencing of
the prayers: “God, I seek Your protection from the cursed devil: from his
annoying, casting of words and suggesting.” It means: from his sending the
words of blasphemy into my memory. Therefore, the meaning of this aya 113: 4 is: And [I seek God’s protection] from
the evil of [devils and evil souls] who send the words of blasphemy to man’s
memory, and deceive him. 5 e Who wants to take away from you
some bounty which God bestows on you: like much wealth, a beautiful wife, a
swift riding animal or others. |

By God's
help, the interpretation of the soora 113 of the Quran is completed; So
