Duas For Evil Eye, Nazar-e-Bad

The phenomenon of evil eye (Nazar as known in Urdu/Hindu speaking countries) is perhaps as old as human history. Almost every culture has it in their particular context be it Islamic, pagan or any other. The harmful effects of evil eye (nazar-e-bad) are often life long and may even cause death in certain cases if it goes untreated for a long period of time. There is consensus among Islamic scholars that evil eye is real and may take its toll on the victim. Quran and Hadiths has clear guidance and prescribed duas through which a muslim can save him/her from its harmful effects. One gets affected by evil eye either mostly due to jealousy. One important aspect of evil eye is that it is not intentional like planned magic (sihr) or psychic attack. A studious student may suddenly lose interest in studies once he/she comes under its effects. Similarly, the business may start to go down of a working person. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said evil eye causes death of certain portion of people among Ummah. In Quran, Allah (SWT) says:

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