The Holy Quran 113:3 — Surah Al-Falaq

Arabic text

وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ

Translation

"...from the evil of darkness (of error, sin and distress whether interior or exterior) when it arrives (with the many evil forces that use it as cover to carry out their evil)..."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Refuge with Allah from darknesses: that is, [what is meant is] the darkness of the night, since in it most evils, especially sorcery and the like, occur in abundance; or what is meant is the eclipse of the moon or the setting of the sun.
