The evil eye (Badnazar) is more than just superstition—it’s a reality the Prophet ﷺ warned against. Its effects can ripple through health, relationships, and even life itself. But with the right practices, we can seek refuge in Allah’s protection.
### **Why It Matters**
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
*"Most deaths after Qadr (Divine Decree) are due to the evil eye."*
*(Ibn Abi Asim, As-Sunnah: 311)*
Many suffer unknowingly. Here’s how to guard yourself, the *authentic* way:
### **Daily Shields from the Quran & Sunnah**
1️⃣ **Surah Ikhlas, Falaq, Nas & Ayatul Kursi**
- Recite these daily, especially after Salah and before sleep. A Prophetic armor against harm.
2️⃣ **Regular Dhikr & Salawat**
- Fill your moments with remembrance. Even silent *SubhanAllah* or *Durud* in idle time becomes a fortress.
3️⃣ **The Prophetic Du’a for Protection**
- The Messenger ﷺ taught this for Hasan and Husayn (RA), tracing back to Ibrahim (AS):
*"A’udhu bi kalimatillah at-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammatin, wa min kulli ‘aynin lammatin."*
*(Sahih Bukhari: 3371)*
*("I seek refuge in Allah’s perfect words from every devil, poisonous creature, and harmful envy.")*
4️⃣ **Guard Your Blessings**
- Not every joy needs to be displayed. The Prophet ﷺ cautioned: *"Every blessing is vulnerable to envy."*
- Imam Ibn Qayyim (RH) advised: *"Whoever fears the evil eye, let them conceal what draws attention."*
5️⃣ **Distance from Harmful People**
- If someone is known for envy, wisdom lies in gentle distance. As scholars noted: *"When the evil eye is feared, precaution is Sunnah."*
6️⃣ **Morning & Evening Adhkar**
- The Prophet ﷺ promised safety for those who recite this 3x daily:
*"Bismillah alladhi la yadurru ma’a ismihi shay’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i, wa Huwas-Samee’ul Aleem."*
*(Sunan Abi Dawud: 5088)*
7️⃣ **Encourage "MashaAllah" & "BarakAllah"**
- Normalize praising blessings openly. It dispels envy and invites Barakah.
### **Final Reflection**
Badnazar is real—but so is Allah’s protection. Small, consistent acts from the Sunnah can be life-changing.
**Thought to Ponder:** *Which of these practices will you strengthen today?*

No fluff—just what matters."*
