Surah Al-Falaq and An-Naas for kids are two of the most important short chapters in the Quran, teaching children about protection and seeking refuge in Allah. This beautiful story about Sarah brings these divine lessons to life.
Sarah and the Magic of Light
Once upon a time, in a small village surrounded by tall mountains, there lived a cheerful girl named Sarah. She loved to play with her friends and spend time with her family. But there was something unusual about the village—everyone believed that strange things happened after dark. People whispered about shadows moving in the night, mysterious winds, and unknown fears.
Sarah didn’t believe these stories. She thought they were just old tales to scare children. But one night, something happened that changed her mind.
It was a cold, stormy night. Sarah had gone to bed, but she woke up suddenly, feeling scared. She looked around her room and saw strange shadows moving on the walls. The wind howled outside, and it felt like the whole house was shaking. Sarah’s heart pounded, and she felt a chill down her spine.
She remembered how her grandmother once told her about people who could get jealous and do bad things, and how sometimes, when the night is quiet, evil thoughts creep into people’s hearts. Sarah pulled her blanket up to her chin, trying to calm herself. But the shadows seemed to get closer, and her fear grew.
Suddenly, she remembered the special Surahs her grandmother had taught her—Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas. Her grandmother always said that these were “the magic words” that protected everyone from harm and chased away any bad thoughts or fears.
Without wasting any more time, Sarah sat up in bed and began to softly recite:
“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn, from the evil of what He created…”
(She was reciting Surah Al-Falaq.)
As she recited, she imagined a beautiful light rising from the horizon, like the sun at dawn, pushing away the darkness. Slowly, she felt the fear in her heart begin to fade. She continued with Surah An-Naas, reciting:
“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind…”
As she said these words, she imagined a shield of light surrounding her, keeping her safe from any bad whispers or evil that might try to scare her. By the time she finished, Sarah felt a warmth in her heart. The shadows on the walls no longer looked frightening, and the storm outside seemed quieter.
She smiled to herself, realizing that the “magic” wasn’t in the shadows or the stories, but in the power of the Surahs and her trust in Allah’s protection. She remembered her grandmother’s words: “Whenever you feel scared or something bad happens, recite these Surahs, and trust that Allah will protect you.”
The next morning, Sarah woke up with a bright smile. She ran to her grandmother and told her everything that happened. Her grandmother nodded wisely and said, “My dear, you’ve learned something very important. The world can be full of darkness, but the light of Allah’s words will always keep you safe. Never forget these Surahs—they are your shield against all evil.”
From that day on, whenever Sarah or her friends felt scared, she would remind them to recite Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas. And just like magic, their fears would disappear, and they would feel safe again.
The Lesson from Surah Al-Falaq and An-Naas for KidsWhenever you face fear, darkness, or difficult times, remember the power of Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas. Reciting these Surahs can help you overcome any evil, protect you from harm, and give you strength to stay brave—because Allah is always there to protect you.
The village still had its spooky stories, but Sarah knew that as long as she trusted in Allah and recited the special Surahs, no shadow, no storm, and no evil could harm her.
