Surah Al-Falaq: Seek Refuge in Allah Against Pervasive Evil
In Surah Al-Falaq, Allah guides us to seek refuge from various evils, including those created by Him, darkness, witchcraft, and envy. The poem's speaker, surrounded by saltwater, cannot find fresh water to drink, highlighting the pervasiveness of evil. Seeking refuge with Allah is the ultimate protection, as demonstrated by Prophet Musa and the story of Pharaoh's magicians.
Allah teaches us in the Quran to flee to Him for absolute protection against any kind of evil. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used Surahs An-Nas and Al-Falaq for protection against evil eyes of both humans and jinn. Envy is justified only when it motivates one to strive for knowledge or righteous deeds, as taught by the Prophet. The poem suggests that refuge from evil depends on who one relies on. In the Quran, Allah teaches us to seek refuge in Him against all kinds of evil.
The last two lines of 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' echo this theme: 'Water, water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink', illustrating the speaker's desperate search for goodness amidst surrounding evil.
Surah Al-Falaq teaches us to seek refuge in Allah against various evils, including those created by Him. The poem's message is reinforced by the Prophet's teachings and the story of Prophet Musa. By relying on Allah, we can find protection and refuge from evil, even in the face of pervasive darkness.
