Power of Islamic Duas Against Evil Eye & Jealousy: Divine Protection in Modern Times
In today's hyper-competitive world, where envy lurks in both social media and daily interactions, Islamic duas for protection from evil eye (al-'ayn) and jealousy (hasad) offer a timeless spiritual shield. Unlike mere superstitions, Islam recognizes these as real spiritual dangers with physical and emotional consequences - from unexplained illnesses to shattered relationships.
Quranic Warning:
﴿وَإِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ﴾
(Surah Al-Qalam 68:51)
"And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes..."
Evil Eye & Jealousy in Islam: Not Myths But Reality
1. What is Evil Eye (Al-'Ayn)?
«العَيْنُ حَقٌّ، ولو كانَ شيءٌ سابِقُ القَدَرَ لسَبَقَتْهُ العَيْنُ»
(صحيح مسلم 2188)
"The evil eye is real. If anything could precede destiny, it would be the evil eye."
- How it works: A harmful gaze (intentional or unintentional) fueled by envy/admiration.
- Modern manifestation: Even "harmless" compliments like "Your child is so perfect!" without saying Masha Allah may carry risk.
2. The Toxicity of Jealousy (Hasad)
﴿وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ﴾
(الفلق: ٥)
"And from the evil of the envier when he envies."
- Spiritual damage: Corrodes the believer's heart - the Prophet ﷺ warned "Beware of envy, for it consumes good deeds as fire consumes wood." (Sunan Ibn Majah 4210)

Why Seeking Protection is Non-Negotiable for Muslims
«إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ أَخِيهِ مَا يُعْجِبُهُ فَلْيَدْعُ لَهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ»
(Sunan Ibn Majah 3509)
"If one of you sees something admirable in his brother, he should pray for blessings for him."
1. Physical & Emotional Symptoms
- Unexplained fatigue or chronic pain (headaches, backaches)
- Sudden financial losses or business failures
- Relationship strains (between spouses, siblings, or friends)
«استَرْقِ لَهُ، فإنَّ بهِ النَّظرةَ»
(Sahih Bukhari 5738)
"Seek ruqyah for him, for he has been afflicted by the evil eye."
2. Loss of Barakah (Blessings)
- Your halal income feels insufficient despite ample earnings
- Talents or skills suddenly diminish
﴿وَلَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ﴾
(الكهف: 39)
"Why, when you entered your garden, did you not say: 'What Allah wills! There is no power except with Allah!'"
3. Domino Effect on Family & Property
- Children's unexplained crying or nightmares
- Livestock dying or crops failing
