Truth about the Evil Eye: Seeking protection against al-'Ayn - Yasir Qadhi | February 2011

To many people the 'Evil Eye' is just superstitious beliefs and fabricated myths of old... to others it's an excuse of placing the blame for everything wrong in their lives.

So what is the Evil-Eye? ...Is it a myth, superstition or reality?

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses this important topic of this burning jealousy of the heart that has the potential to harm the opposite person.

I am a Christian but I found this teaching quite powerful! I have suffered the pain of being an object of jealousy! People being envious for no reason at all!

"Allahumma inni A'udhu bi kalimat-Allah il-tammah
min kulli shaytanin wa hammah
wa min kulli 'aynin lammah"
''I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous reptile, and from every envious evil eye.''

I don't care if this seems stupid to anyone or not. This has has happened to me so many freaking times that I'm not ignoring it.

[Ubhntu]

I’m not a Muslim but thanks for this beautiful speech. I believe in this. In African spirituality we believe in this too.

The evil eye is true. Happened to me twice. Learned my lesson the hard way. Thank you for the dua.

I didn't think much about evil eye until I married and moved to a new neighbourhood where there seem to be lot of idle and jealous people. Now I fall I'll regularly and I think it's due to evil eye. Inshallah must recite this day after this everyday

[caribaez]

I never feel jealous. If I feel jealousy, I pray and I forget.

A neighbor posted a picture of their newly remodeled house, new car and the food they eat in social media captioning it that he was so happy thankful and contented of what they have. Almost two days later his wife suddenly died. Its so surreal but then someone after seeing their posts said that they think some evil eyed person envied them and caused this tragedy. Its so sad and scary. Im starting to believe this things...

4 ways to protect from Ayn( evil eye)
1) Dua - more recitation of Surah Falaq and Dua mentioned ( Aaozobikalimatillahi..
2)Don’t be flashy
3)Don’t let yourself feel jealous.
Say Mashalllah La Hawla Wala Quwwata IllaBillah when you see something good of others
4)Treatment- To bathe with the water of Wudu (who has caused Evil eye provided he is a Muslim and you know he did it )

Also :Put your trust in Allah SWT

[randbabs]

as a non-Muslim, I appreciate these moral teachings.  nice to see Islam isn't all about beheading people for not believing.

I mind my own business! I have had jelousy come for me thru people. My only defese to them is evil eye and I worry about it because I have done some powerful things!. my mind is powerful!. I've seen some amazing good spiritual experiences so I know I have the power of good with me but, when angry things really do happen!

I recently got sick unexpectedly. After this man was staring at me in a strange way. Within a few minutes I was unsteady on my feet, I was struggling to breath. I spent the next two days in bed not eating and drinking. I didn’t even have the energy to lift my head and my heart felt it was being crushed in a vice.

This carried on until my mom came to check on me and broke the evil eye.
I was a zombie for almost three days!
Why people are so hateful of others… I fail to understand

أعوذبكلمات اللّه التّامّة من كلّ شيطان وهامّة ومن كلّ عين لامّة

May Allah protect us from evil eye. May Allah remind us to say MaashaaAllah when we see something fascinating. May Allah reward Sheikh Yassir with peace, good healthy and Jannatul Firdows.
