Sura 114

4. The Nature of Evil and Its Manifestations

A critical aspect of Surah 114 is its exposition on the nature of evil. The “whisperer” can be interpreted in various contexts—temptation, doubt, and even external malign forces. Delving into the Shia interpretation, the whisperer is often associated with Iblis (Satan), embodying rebellion against God’s will. Such insights encourage believers to cultivate awareness of these invisible influences and promote an active engagement in spiritual self-defense through prayer and supplication.
