In Islam, the concept of “Nazar ki dua “ (evil eye) is real and significant. It refers to the harm caused by someone’s jealous or envious gaze. The evil eye can affect people, children, wealth, beauty, health, and even relationships. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned us about its reality and taught us powerful duas for black magic for protection.
What is Nazar (Evil Eye)?
The Arabic word for evil eye is “Al-Ayn”, which means “the glance.” According to Islamic belief, when someone looks at another person or their belongings with envy or excessive admiration — without saying “Masha Allah” (ماشاءاللہ) or invoking Allah’s blessings — it can cause harm.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The evil eye is real. If anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Symptoms of Nazar
Some common signs that may indicate someone is affected by evil eye include:
- Sudden illness or fatigue
- Unexpected loss of wealth or success
- Restlessness or irritability in children
- Frequent quarrels at home
- Loss of appetite or sleep
- Physical pain without medical cause

Always remember: The best shield against any evil is taqwa (piety), sincerity in worship, and constant remembrance of Allah (dhikr).
