About Surah An-Nas (الناس)
An-Nas closes the Quran with a plea for protection addressed to the Lord, King, and God of mankind — refuge from the retreating whisperer who whispers into the breasts of people, from among jinn and mankind. The Quran thus opens with guidance sought (Al-Fatihah) and closes with the heart guarded.
