Truth about the Evil Eye: Seeking protection against al-'Ayn - Yasir Qadhi | February 2011

To many people the 'Evil Eye' is just superstitious beliefs and fabricated myths of old... to others it's an excuse of placing the blame for everything wrong in their lives.
So what is the Evil-Eye? ...Is it a myth, superstition or reality?
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses this important topic of this burning jealousy of the heart that has the potential to harm the opposite person.
Recorded on February 2011

[@suihtflava]

I am a Christian but I found this teaching quite powerful! I have suffered the pain of being an object of jealousy! People being envious for no reason at all!

[@solstice1681]

It is true!!!!!! I'm a christian too and I have found the best advice for evil eye is in Islam

Just believe in god only! and ask god for help and protection even if it’s in English, no human can help you only god can. Evil eye is not true. Don’t believe in evil eye, believe in god and you will feel better. Thank me later for this information 👍🏻

I recently got sick unexpectedly. After this man was staring at me in a strange way. Within a few minutes I was unsteady on my feet, I was struggling to breath. I spent the next two days in bed not eating and drinking. I didn’t even have the energy to lift my head and my heart felt it was being crushed in a vice. This carried on until my mom came to check on me and broke the evil eye. I was a zombie for almost three days! Why people are so hateful of others… I fail to understand

I have this question for quite some time. Why do average people get affected by evil eye so easily, but why don't world class athletes seem to not get affected by it ? And even if they fail, we can easily trace back to their mistakes, like lack of training, lack of discipline or bad diet or stuffs like that. Why is it so ?

[@AbdulKarim-hz4pz]

I have no experience in this, but I think this evil eye concept only works on someone you can relate to, or someone in your everyday life, because you could just feel hate or jealous towards the king of England or famous people but the level of jealousy doesn't come as near as (for example) an annoying little brother or in-law with a more beautiful and rich wife and already own a lot of property in his early 30s, with a boasting habit in every occasion.

[@Hellfire_is_real]

many of the scholars say that "ma sha Allah" is not enough to protect from giving ayn and many of the scholars of the past and of today said that the verse in suratul kahf is not evidence of removing ayn. There is a hadith about a sahabi giving ayn to another sahabi and from this many of the scholars say the best way to protect yourself from giving ayn if you see something you like, ask for Blessings for the person. I.E. saying perhaps : Barak Allahu feeh(i) (male (him))/ feeha (her) -for female)/ feek (you- male)/ feeki (f)/ feekum/ e.t.c... or Allahumma barak laki/ lak (a) /laha/lahu/lahum/lakum e.t.c... may Allah bless it for you e.t.c. as long as there is something of baraka mentioned and this will help with not giving your br or sr evil eye. Ma sha Allah alone doesn't really help and Allah knows best.

Jealousy and Envy is a negative consciousness energy output by someone the same as love and fear. So this energy is placed upon the person that is being envied unless he seeks refuge in Allah and becomes a victim of this negative energy being directed towards him so it is not necessarily shaytaan who harms the person with this but the negative energy itself and Allah knows best.
