Since the revelation of these two surahs the Prophet - may God grant him grace and my peace - has never ceased to recommend their readings to Muslims in all circumstances, because they have a particular effect in repelling bewitchment, the evil power of the eye, jealousy and psychic attacks (doubts and weswes).....

These two Suras contain the modalities of the imploration of protection against all these evils in the most concise, most appropriate terms. And as a general rule for any request for protection, so that none of the evils has remained outside the category of evil against which one implores divine protection.
