The
Quran and the Ahadith of the prophet have clearly
explained the harmful effects of evil eye (al-ain), sihr (magic), jealousy, and
other such ailments. Their detrimental effects are frequently referred to both
in the Quran and the Ahadith of the prophet. The sad part is that many of us
many not even know if we are affected by such evils and go about living our
lives with the harmful effects affecting our lives. Al-Bazzaar narrated a
hadith with a hasan isnaad from Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said (in part of the
hadith) that a certain portion of his ummah dies because of the effects of the
evil eye.”
Almost
all scholars agree that the evil eye is
real and is proven both by Islamic teachings and by real life experiences.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And verily, those who
disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes (through hatred)”
[al-Qalam 68:51]
Use of Ruqya
As
a cure for such evils, Allah has told us to use the words of the Quran. Such a
treatment, also referred to as Ruqyah, uses Allah’s words from
the Quran and prayers both from the Quran and the Ahadith to seek protection
from and to treat a person. Allah says in the Quran, “And We send down
from the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe…”
[Quran 17:82]
Unfortunately,
many Muslims today either don’t make use of such protection from the Quran or
get involved in the use of lucky charms and amulets, the use of which is
considered Shirk
[associating others with Allah] and thus pushes one outside the boundaries of
Islam. We should understand that carrying amulets and charms
for the purpose of protecting oneself against the evil eye and witchcraft is
completely forbidden in Islam. The prophet said, “Whoever wears an amulet
has associated others with Allah (shirk).” [Narrated by Ahmad (16781);
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (492).] Ahmad
(17440) also narrated that ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him)
said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Whoever wears an amulet, may
Allah never fulfill his wish and whoever wears a seashell, may Allah never
protect him from what he fears.” [Hadeeth classed as hasan by al-Arna’oot
in his commentary on al-Musnad.]
As
Muslims, therefore, we should use only the words of Quran and Duas in the
authentic Ahadith to treat oneself or others from the evils of the eye, magic
and other such practices.
Below
are some of the Quranic verses and Dua’s that can be used for Ruqya. A better
