Evil Eye

Sat 25 Jul 2020

Evil eye existence is so real.

It have been observed too many divorces after showing off in public how nice they are to each other and what a beautiful life they have.

It have been seen rich people who like to show off but they are very poor in their hearts and depressed.

Don't show too often how much Allah has blessed you. It might be for some people's eyes to weak to resist. The evil eye is real. Be careful. May Allah protect us all from jealousy and the evil eyes.

Have you ever felt...Right after sharing a success story with someone, something really unexpected happens to you? Out of nowhere? Or just after you share a happy picture with your kids / family / parents - something bad happens to them all on a sudden?

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from the evil of the envier when he envies.” [113:5]

The Arabic word al-‘ayn (translated as the evil eye) refers to when a person harms another with his eye. It starts when the person likes a thing, then his evil feelings affect it, by means of his repeated looking at the object of his jealousy. Allah commanded His prophet, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), to seek refuge with Him from the envier.

Muslim, Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The evil eye is real and if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye. When you are asked to take a bath (to provide a cure) from the influence of the evil eye, you should take a bath.”

Imam Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi narrated that Asma bint ‘Umays said: “O Messenger of Allah, the children of J’afar have been afflicted by the evil eye, shall we recite ruqyah for them?” He said, “Yes, for if anything were to overtake the divine decree it would be the evil eye.”

Abu Dawud narrated that ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The person who had put the evil eye on another would be ordered to do wudu, then the person who had been afflicted would wash himself (with that water).

Evil eye is that it is real and is proven both by Islamic teachings and by real life experiences. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And verily, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes (through hatred).” [68:51]
