Surha Nas (The Mankind) is the last surha of the quran Al-Nās (Arabic: الناس‎, romanized: An-Nās, "Mankind") is the 114th and last chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an. It is a short six-verse invocation, asking God for protection from the Devil (Iblis). The chapter takes its name from the word "people" or "mankind" (al-nās), which recurs throughout the chapter. Together with the preceding chapter, Al-Falaq ("Daybreak"), they are known as "the Refuges" (Al-Mu'awwidhatayn); dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair.

2. malikin-nās
إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ
3. ilāhin-nās
مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ
4. min sharril-waswāsil-khannās
الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ
5. allażī yuwaswisu fī ṣudụrin-nās
مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ
6. minal-jinnati wan-nās
Muḥammad `alī aṣ-Ṣābūnī characterizes the sūrah as one of seeking protection and shelter in the Lord from Iblis and his helpers among both jinn and humans who lead people astray through whispering or insinuation (waswasah) and temptation.
implications of the sūrah on a Muslim's life:
According to Ibn Kathir's exegesis (tafsir), it has been reported from Abu Said that: Prophet Muhammad used to seek protection from the evil eyes of the jinn and mankind. But when the Muawwidhatayn were revealed, he used them (for protection) and abandoned all else besides them. Al-Tirmidhi, An-Nisai and ibn Majah recorded this.
