Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

98. And I seek refuge in You lest they [94] come near me.
[94] In the previous verses, those enemies were mentioned who are related to humans. Both they themselves and their hostile actions and deeds are at least visible, and a person can think of ways to counter them. In these two verses, those enemies are mentioned who are related to jinn or devils, and who attack by entering the human body through evil thoughts and evil intentions in such a way that a person can neither see them nor their activities. And sometimes, under the instigation of such an enemy, a person commits an act that ruins the efforts of years. The way to protect oneself from the attack of such an enemy is to seek refuge in Allah. And to keep reciting the supplication that is taught in these two verses.
