Add some more verses to your prayer

Once you have learned Surah al Fatihah, you will need to learn some other verses from the Qur’an to recite in your Salah.

Here we give examples of some short Surahs which are relatively easy to learn. These 3 Surah are the 3 last chapters of the Qur’an.

Surah Al-Ikhlas (The Purity or Sincerity of Faith)

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

Qul huwa Allahu ahad

Allahus-samad

Lam yalid wa-lam yulad

wa-lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Say: ‘He is Allah the one and only

Allah the Eternal, Absolute

He does not give birth

and He was not born

and there is nothing (at all) like Him’

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

Qul a’udhu bi-rabbil-falaq

Min sharri ma-khalaq

Wa-min sharri ghasi’qin idha waqab

Wa-min sharrin-naffathati fi’l-‘uqad

Wa-min sharri hasidin idha hasad

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Say: ‘I seek safety and protection in the Lord of the dawn

from the evil of the things He created,

from the evil of the darkness when it is very strong,

from the evil of people who practise witchcraft,

and from the evil of the envious one when he envies’.

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

Qul a’udhu bi-Rabbin-nas

Malikin-nas

Illahin-nas

Min sharril-waswasil-khannas

Al-ladhi yuwaswisu fi sudurin-nas

Min al-jinnati wan-nas

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Say: ‘I seek refuge and protection in the Lord of all people,

the King of all people,

the God of all people,

from the evil of those who whisper secretly,

who whisper (evil) into the hearts of people.

from (those evil ones of) the jinn and the people.’
