About this verse

The Four Quls are four short surahs that each begin with the command "Qul" ("Say"): Al-Kafirun, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas. Together they affirm pure monotheism and seek Allah's protection.

Al-Ikhlas was described by the Prophet ﷺ as equal to a third of the Quran (Sahih al-Bukhari). Al-Falaq and An-Nas are known together as al-Mu'awwidhatayn, the two surahs of seeking refuge.

Displaying Four Quls in your home

  • A four-panel or quartered composition gives each surah its own space.
  • Bedrooms and children's rooms, where the surahs are often recited before sleep.
  • Maroon, black, or deep green backgrounds with gold lettering keep four texts visually unified.
  • Hang sacred text at or above eye level, in a clean space, and away from bathrooms — see the calligraphy size guide for measurements and what scholars say about displaying Quranic verses.

Four Quls calligraphy is a thoughtful gift for new parents, family homes, and Ramadan gifting.
