Mufti Abu Layth debunks the notion of the evil eye and shows that it does not exist in Islam.

About Sheikh Hasan Ali's example on stuttering. This hits close to me because I have had stuttering all my life, and to this day almost 20 years old and I still have it. My dad has tried doing Ruqyah on me, I tried it doing it on myself and it still hasn't gone away. Maybe for a little while it might feel like it's getting better (most likely placebo) but not too long after some time has passed it creeps in again. I'm so glad I can finally understand that this whole concept of "evil eye" doesn't exist and I just have a condition. You can imagine the toll that had on my Iman, having Ruqyah done on me and it's still there.

[@youmnaification]

I used to work for company owned by a Jewish couple, and I brought me some gift from back home to all my coworkers. One of the gift was a a traditional Berber bracelet that has a hand with an eye in it's palm. I asked my boss which was the wife of the owner to choose one of the gift and I tell you without exaggeration that she snatched the bracelet that had the eye. I then knew that in what we Muslim believe has nothing to do with our deen at al, but garbage from other belief incorporated into ours.

Do you also agree with his naturalistic explanation for miracles ? As an agnostic i see this as a problem philosophically.

[@Yameen200]

Pace the isnaads and interpretations of the ayaat, your main argument was against the conception of the eye causing things, which was based on old theories of physics. However, wouldn't quantum nonlocality serve as a powerful scientific replacement for those who would wish to defend the notion of the evil eye?

Syed Qadri we are supposed to have an equal amount of positive and negative energy. Even positive things in excess become bad for us. I used to feel like my mother loved me too much (of course I loved her anyways), but that feeling of too much love made me feel bad. I had to read the three Quls a lot and it made me yawn like crazy. I also missed them a lot and lived with severe fatigue my whole life. There is no medical explanation for it.

[@mohammedhanif6780]

verse 51 and 52 of Al-Qalam (Q68:51-52) in the Quran. It is usually recited for protection from the evil eye. It states: "And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say: Indeed, he is mad.

[@suzmia8553]

Great explanation from religions perspective thanks MALM - But if we look at sciences role in how the human eye works, it does not emit no energy of any kind it only absorbs light photons through the retina which transform information to the brain. In reality the brain sees through the eyes and eyes see through light photons. if there was no photon hitting the eyes retina no human would absorb light to focus on any image. The eyes cannot perform no form of action in the physical world due to Quantum physics it can neither effect another physically because it doesn't have the capability of doing so as we are not -Super man lol.. OK joke aside this belief needs to be wiped away with proper religious understanding and a biological scientific position of the eyes.

[@Azreeny3]

Can you please reference Imaam Ahmad's statement regarding Abdul Razzaq being a fabricator

[@Azreeny3]

@O boy Akhi, if you think logically .. me asking for a reference is nothing to get sensitive over. As Muslims, we respect our prophet and take his statements over our logic. That's why we believe in the Malaaika, Aakhira, Al-Israa & Al-Miraaj and the list goes on. Not because of our brains, but because As-Saadiq Al-Ameen told us about it. Simply asking for a reference from a great scholar in the field of authentication and weakening Hadeeth doesn't at all mean I think he's a prophet. It means I think he's a scholar of authenticating and weakening Hadeeth.

[@zahidmaqsood4290]

Hopefully you read comments.

[@Lightbulb909]

Wait, if we were to assume that Jacob asked his sons to go through different gates in order to protect them, wouldn’t that imply that Jacob knew the shenanigans his sons were up to? And furthermore, he almost passively allows his sons to trick the merchants in Memphis. Considering that the message that Allah has sent down to all the messengers and all the Kitaabs and Hikmah that he’s endowed to His prophets, wouldn’t Jacob also know that this kind of behavior is mercantile trickery. If we think about what his sons are doing, they’re engaging in trade that would cause the other party to lose than to receive an fair exchange. Isn’t this kind of trade prohibited in the Quran, and therefore, in all previous scriptures that Allah sent down?

[@ChasinOneTwelve]

When my brother and sister were born(they were twins) in the hospital, a lady came into the room..asked if the babies were my mums..mum confirmed that they were hers - lady did not say anything and then turned around and proceeded to exit...as soon as the lady left the room, the glass jar of cologne(called kolonya in Turkish) which was sitting on the bedside table that was gifted to my mum by her late husband ended up literally blowing with the liquid inside going everywhere.!! Another story - my cousin had visitors visiting for their new born. Moments after the visitors left the very durable glass vase sitting on their table blew to pits and pieces.. Fair enough I understand glass cracking, blame it on the weather or sudden change of temperature, but in the egs I have provided the glass literally blew in a horizontal motion with a loud bang! There are many stories like this in regards to new born babies.. one or two egs you’d be skeptical, but stories like this are many especially in Turkey...unless Turkish glass is made with poor quality 😂 Other stories I have witnessed include - burping or yawning or physical reactions when reciting Quran on a sick baby or child when otherwise they’d have no reaction when reciting it normally. True or not these stories make good conversation. I personally believe it, if not the evil eye - definitely nazar.. Just my 2 cents. Peace ✌️

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.... You say those HADITHS are UNAUTHENTIC. Then SAY me How are you PRAYING YOUR SALAH. BECAUSE there are no steps written in the quraan how to pray.. IT only says YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH YOUR PRAYER. SO how can you reject the hadiths which teaches us how to pray.???

[@pakcadian7948]

At 56:25. He was saying that since the evil eye isn't mentioned in the Quran explicitly, you can question the authenticity of the concept (in hadith) since it would be very very important to incorporate into one's life (if it is believed to be real). Which I find strange because even though most Muslims find the evil eye to be true, they should logically be way more terrified than they are right now. Just imagine the fact that you can die because of someone giving you the evil eye just because you are driving a car and he is on a bicycle. In the case of salah, it is EXPLICITY mentioned in the Quran as a clear commandment from Allah and it is therefore considered OK to benefit from hadith relating with the matter of prayer.

[@bilalamarumosi8282]

Which hadith did u use to teach u to pray? Also Allah does tell us what to say and do in regards to prayer but since it doesn't say step 1, step 2 etc you think that Allah left it out. Even when Allah says he left nothing out of the book u find a way to doubt Allah and uphold those fantasy books🤦

that is not the point of this topic brother. Everyone knows there is a hadith on evil eye. The topic is its interpretation.

While mufti interpreted it differently, which also aligned with the minority of the scholars, that evil eye can't do harm. The reason for that interpretation is what being explained in this video.

Brother, you used mocking term "Wahabi" which was originated in South Asia. South Asian Brailvis used this for other Sunni Muslims who don't follow Brailvi School of thought. The people who follows Mohammed Bin Abdul Wahab don't claim Wahabi. The scholars name was Mohammed and his father's name was Abdul Wahab. Abdul Wahab had nothing to do change of regime in Saudi. Brailvi should calling these people Mohammdi instead of Wahabi but they claimed themselves Mohammdi in competition to Ahmadis, so they started calling "Wahabi". Wahab is one of the attribute of Allah, so please avoid using this mocking word. You can call them whatever you want but don't used Allah's attribute for mocking of a certain sect.
