The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the last messenger of Allah (SWT), faced constant challenges. Enemies threatened his safety, and many rejected his message. Yet, his faith remained strong. He found strength in divine messages from Allah (SWT). These revelations, which start with the word ‘Qul‘ (meaning ‘Say‘), have become known as the 4 Quls.
What are the 4 Qul in Islam?
In Islam, the 4 Quls refer to specific chapters (surahs) of the Quran known for their protective qualities. They are:
- Surah Al-Kafirun (The Disbelievers): Chapter 109, 6 Verses
- Surah Al-Ikhlas (The Purity): Chapter 112, 4 Verses
- Surah Al-Falaq (The Daybreak): Chapter 113, 5 Verses
- Surah An-Nas (Mankind): Chapter 114, 6 Verses

Why are they called the 4 Quls?
These surahs are unique because they each start with the Arabic word “Qul” (meaning “Say“). This signifies the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) role as a messenger of divine messages.
Allah (SWT) would reveal these verses to him directly, and the Prophet (PBUH) would faithfully convey them to the people. Hence, they’re known as “the four Quls.”

النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ شَهْرًا فَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ {قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ} وَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ}
“I watched the Prophet (SAW) for a month, and in the two Rak’ah before Fajr he used to recite: “Say: O you disbelievers!” [Al-Kafirun (109)] and “Say: Allah is One.” [Al- Ikhlas (112)]
