There are five Surahs in the Holy Qur’an that begin with the word “Qul” (قُل), which means Say. These Surahs are direct commands from Allah (SWT) to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to proclaim important declarations of faith, guidance, and protection to the people.

The five Surahs are:

• 
  

  Surah Al-Jinn (72:1) – Qul oohiya ilayya… (Say: It has been revealed to me…).

  
  


• 
  

  Surah Al-Kafirun (109:1) – Qul ya ayyuhal kafirun… (Say: O disbelievers…).

  
  


• 
  

  Surah Al-Ikhlas (112:1) – Qul huwa Allahu ahad… (Say: He is Allah, One).

  
  


• 
  

  Surah Al-Falaq (113:1) – Qul a‘oozu bi rabbil-falaq… (Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak).

  
  


• 
  

  Surah An-Nas (114:1) – Qul a‘oozu bi rabbin-nas… (Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind).

  
  

Each of these Surahs begins with divine instruction to “Say,” showing that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was commanded to convey Allah’s message exactly as revealed. These Surahs are also central to Islamic teachings: Surah Al-Ikhlas affirms monotheism, while Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas (together called Al-Mu‘awwidhatayn) are recited for protection from evil.
