How to protect us from evil eye?
To Praise another person
If we see something that we love or enjoy in a person or in ourselves, it is mentioned for us to say ‘maasha’a Allah, ‘Allahumma barik’, ‘tabarakAllah’ to protect us against the evil eye.
Surah Falaq, & Nas
Falaq and Nas these two duas along with Suratul Ikhlas (Qur’an 112) are our best ammunitions against the evil eye and any evil that can happen to a person.
Other duas
Our Prophet (PBUH) said, the greatest means of protection against the evil eye lies in the recitation of Surah al-Fatiha, Ayat ul-Kursi, and Surah Baqarah too.
Dua of Ibraheem (AS)
The dua that Prophet Ibraheem (as) used to pray for his sons, and also our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)) used to make for his grandchildren, Hassan and Hussein, is mentioned for us to use as evil eye protection.
“‘I ask protection for you both in the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from all evil eye”. [Sunan Ibn Majah]
Dua of Jibril (AS)
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ يُؤْذِيكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ أَوْ حَاسِدٍ اللَّهُ يَشْفِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ
Angel Jibril (as) prayed this dua on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when he was ill. This shows that this prayer might work as a healing process for the evil eye.
Can evil eye harm?
The evil eye can’t touch our lives without the Qadr of Allah behind it. We should always believe that Allah the Almighty alone can relieve our pain, and we must ask protection only from Him.
