Katika sura hii, kinga inatafutwa kwa Mola, Mfalme na Mungu wa wanadamu, kutoka kwa mnong'ezi mwenye kunong'ona kwa siri, awe jini au binadamu, ambaye huweka mawazo maovu katika akili za watu. Sura hii inaonyesha sifa husika za Mungu za kuweza kuliweka mbali pepo hili lisiloonekana ambalo akili yenyewe peke yake haiwezi kulizuia. Kwani Yeye ndiye Mola anayehifadhi, anayeongoza, anayelea na kulinda wanadamu; Mfalme ndiye anayemiliki, anayetawala na kuendesha dunia kwa kujitegemea; na Mungu ndiye anayezishinda viumbe vyote vingine na kusimamia mambo yao yote. Kutajwa kwa pekee kwa wanadamu hapa kunamkaribisha mwanadamu karibu zaidi na kinga na malezi ya Mungu.

In this sūrah refuge is sought in the Lord, Sovereign and God of mankind from the insidious whisperer, jinn or human, who prompts evil ideas in people’s minds. The sūrah presents God’s relevant attributes to keep away this invisible evil which the mind on its own cannot shut out. For the Lord is He who preserves, directs, cherishes and protects mankind; the Sovereign is He who owns, governs and independently runs the world; and God is the One who supersedes all other beings and supervises over all their affairs. The particular mention of mankind here brings man closer to God’s protection and care.

Mungu, kwa rehema yake, anamwelekeza Mtume wake na jumuiya ya wafuasi wake kutambua sifa hizi za Kwake, na kutafuta kinga Yake dhidi ya uovu huu wa kunyemelea unaojikita ndani ya nyoyo zao. Kwani hawawezi kujikomboa na uovu wa namna hii, unaoingia ndani ya nyoyo zao kwa siri na bila kuonekana, isipokuwa wakisaidiwa na Mungu, Mola, Mfalme.

God, in His grace, instructs His Messenger and his community of followers to recognize these of His attributes, and to seek His protection against this sneaking evil which locates itself within their hearts. For they cannot rid themselves of such an evil which surreptitiously and imperceptibly creeps into their hearts, unless they are helped by God, the Lord, the Sovereign.

Asili ya uovu huu imetajwa katika maandiko kwanza kama ‘mnong'ezaji mwenye kujificha.’ Kazi yake imeelezwa kuwa ni ‘kunong'oneza mioyoni mwa wanadamu.’ Kisha chanzo chake kimebainishwa kuwa ni ‘miongoni mwa majini na wanadamu.’ Mtindo uliotumika hapa ni wa maana kubwa, kwa sababu unatuelekeza kikamilifu kwenye utambulisho wa mnong'ezaji huyu mwenye kujificha, baada ya kueleza asili yake, ili kuonyesha mchakato ambao uovu kama huo huingizwa. Hii inatuwezesha kuwa macho na kuweza kukabiliana nao. Tunapopewa picha kamili, tunatambua kwamba mnong'ezaji huyu hufanya kazi kwa siri. Pia tunafahamu kwamba anaweza kuwa jini au binadamu, kwa kuwa binadamu wanaweza kwa urahisi kueneza uovu wao kwa siri.

The nature of this evil-importing medium is identified in the text first as ‘the slinking prompter.’ Its function is outlined as to ‘whisper in the hearts of mankind.’ Then its origin is specified as ‘from among jinn and mankind.’ The style adopted here is quite significant because it draws our attention fully to the identity of this sneaking whisperer after describing its nature in order to show the process by which such evil is insinuated. This enables us to be alert and able to confront it. When we are given the full picture we know that this sneaking whisperer operates secretly. We also realize that it can be either jinn or human, for human beings can easily spread their evil stealthily.
