A Deep Dive into Faith, Protection, and Heartfelt Lessons

Understanding the Evil Eye and Jealousy in Islam:

The Prophet ﷺ said: “The evil eye is real. If anything were to overtake the divine decree it would be the evil eye” (Muslim). The evil eye is not just a superstition, it is a reality of the world that can cause spiritual harm to individuals that lead onto their physical, mental, and emotional state.

In our modern world, jealousy is at an all-time high due to social media, allowing people to display their blessings while being oblivious to the eyes looking on with envy. Islam does not ask us to hide our blessings, rather, it teaches us how to protect our blessings.

Quranic and Sunnah-Based Duas:

1. Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas – Recite three times in the morning and evening
2. Ayat al-Kursi (2:255) – After every Salah
3. Last two Ayahs of Surah Al-Baqarah – Before sleeping
4. Prophetic Dua for evil eye – (mentioned above)
5. Dua for entering the house
   Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘alallah
6. La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah – Regular zikar
7. Three Qul (Ikhlas, Falaq, Nas) – Before sleeping and after Fajr & Maghrib

Story That Touches the Heart:

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) narrated a story, about a man who visited him, suffering from continuous calamities and health afflictions. He asked the man, “Do you daily read the verses of protection?” The man said no. The Sheikh gave him a silk pouch with Surahs written in, and commanded him to recite Ayat Reading Kursi, Falaq and Nas daily.

In weeks, he began to see a difference in his life. He returned weeping and thanking the Sheikh. “You were never afflicted by misfortunes,” said the Sheikh, “only by the abandonment of seeking divine protection.”

These are not just stories. They are the remnants of those who walked before us in faith and tawakkul. Saints including Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (RA) would never abandon the stronghold of morning and evening adhkar.

Practical Tips to Use in Daily Life:

• Recite protection duas before posting blessings online
• Blow over your children with Surah Falaq and Nas before sleep
• Avoid boasting of blessings – practice gratitude silently

Conclusion:

Protection is not fear, it is belief. The evil eye and jealousy are weapons that are well hidden, but our Deen has provided us with an even better shield. Put this du’a into your soul’s prescription, and Allah will be your protector.

I hope every reader finds comfort, cries from love for Allah, and feels tranquil knowing these prescriptions are by the power of His Infinite Mercy. Never underestimate the power of a heartfelt and humble du’a for protection from evil eye and jealousy.
