What is "al-nas"

Sūrat An-Nās (, "Mankind") is the 114th and last sura, or chapter, of the Qur'an, the Muslim holy book. It is a short six- verse invocation, asking Allah for protection from the Shaitan. There is a Sunnah tradition of reading this Sura over the sick or before sleeping.

Al-Nas (meaning "The People Channel") was an Egyptian television station founded in January 2006 and broadcast from Cairo until Deposition of Mohammed Morsi .

Founded by Saudi Arabian investor Mansour bin Kadsa (alt. Mansur Bin Kadasah), Al-Nas began as a channel mostly for Arabic pop songs and dream interpretation shows. After a few months, its focus was shifted to an audience seeking religious knowledge by hosting well-known Islamic preachers regularly.
