In Islam, the concept of the “evil eye” or “Nazar” is widely recognized. It is believed that a harmful gaze, often born out of envy or malice, can cause negative effects on a person or their possessions. To protect against these harmful effects, Muslims turn to specific prayers, one of which is particularly powerful.
Nazar Ki Dua: Powerful Protection Against the Evil Eye
One effective dua for protection against the evil eye is:
Arabic:
وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌۭ ٥١ وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
Transliteration:
Wa in yaka dullazina kafaru la yuzliqunaka bi-absarihim lamma sami’uz zikra wa yaqooloona innahu lamajnoon. Wa ma huwa illa zikrun lil ‘aalameen.
