REALITY OF VIL EYE AND TREATMENT
*The Reality of the Evil Eye*
The evil eye is a terrible affliction that afflicts mankind; it is the most widespread affliction in the world. Most people of this nation (Muslims) will die from it after what Allah has decreed. The Prophet (saws) aid:
*" Most of those who will die from my nation after what Allah has decreed will be from the evil eye.* " (Fath al-haqq al Mubeen, As-Sahih, 747)๐
*The evil eye is a reality and a truth that a person needs to seek cure and protection from. The Prophet (saws) said : " The evil is true (reality)...."* (Sahih Muslim, 2188)๐
*It is permissible in Islam to seek Ruqyah for it, as Annas(radiallahu anh) narrated that the Prophet (saws) Made it an ease to take Ruqyah for fever and the evil eye.* (Sahih Muslim 2197)๐
*The evil eye is from two sources:*
1) *the evil eye from mankind*
2) *the evil eye from Jinn*
*The evil eye from mankind is confirmed in many narrations, as Abu Sated (radiallahu anh) said the Prophet (saws) said to seek refuge from jinn's and the evil eye from mankind.* (At-tirmidhi, 2058)๐
*As for evil eye from jinn's, it has been narrated ny Umm Salamah (radiallahu anhaa) that the Prophet (saws) saw in her house a slave girl and in her face was sa faa'ah. upon which the Prophet (saws) aid: " Seek Ruqyah for her, for verily she is afflicted with a look (evil eye).* " (Al-Bukhari, 5739)๐
*The scholars have said "As-sa-faa'ah" is the evil eye from Jinn's.*
*The reason for the evil eye is mostly because of envy (envy is to wish for the prevention of bounty for another person, even though the envier doesn't wish for this bounty). The reality of envy is the result of hatred and malice, which is the result of anger.* ( Fath Al-Haq Al-Mubeen, 219)๐
*The evil eye is like an arrow or spear that leaves the soul of the envier and goes to the person that is envied. It afflicts the person envied at times and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't afflict him, it is because of the protective methods he uses (whether supplications, seeking refuge, etc.) Also, when it doesn't. afflict him, the evil eye can return to the envier.* ( The Medicine of the Prophet, 138)๐
*What is an important fact to know is that the evil eye has no effect except by Allah's will. A man can give himself the evil eye and he can also give it to others. It can afflict someone without even being seen by the envier. For example, a blind man cannot see a person, but he can still cast the evil eye, or perhaps if the person is not around and they are described to the envier without being seen by him, it can afflict that person. It can also be afflicted by one being amazed at himself without being envious to himself or others. The evil eye can be done by anyone, even a loved one or a righteous person.*
*So, it is incumbent on each and every one of us to take the necessary precautions and try to prevent being affected by the evil eye, and to say the supplications and remembrance upon seeing something amazing and good.* (Fath Al-Haq Al-Mubeen, 198)๐
*The Treatment of the Evil Eye*
*There are categories of treatment for those afflicted with the evil eye.*
*The first category: Treatments before the evil eye occurs:*
There are many types, which is as follows:
*Protect yourself and those whom you fear for from it with remembrances, supplications and seeking refuge that is in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah, as is mentioned in the first category for the treatment of magic.*
*supplicate for whom you fear might be afflicted with it (if you see something within yourself, your wealth, your son, your brother or anything that amazes you) with blessing. From the statement of the Prophet (saws)*
*" If anyone says from his brother what amazes him, let him supplicate for him with blessings: This is what Allah wills, there is no strength except with Allah, O Allah bless him with it. "*
*Guard anything or anyone that is attractive and may be a recipient of the evil eye.*
This means:
1) *When a person has a beautiful family he should guard them by seeking protection from Allah for them, teaching and commanding them to do so, and also by dressing them properly not to expose their bodies or beauty so as not to be envied and affected by the evil eye.*
The Prophet (saws) used to seek protection for Hassan and Hussein by saying:
*" I seek refuge for both of you in the perfect words of Allah and from every satan, vermin, and from every evil eye."*
2) *If someone has wealth, he should guard it by asking Allah to bless and protect it and be thankful to Allah.*
3) *If someone has good news and he knows people will envy him because of it, he should guard it by keeping it secret.*
NOTE: *If you know a person is famous for being envious and is known to affect people with the evil eye, it is important to keep away from him.*
*The Second Category: Treatments after the affliction of the evil eye:*
1) *If the person who causes the evil eye is known, command him to make ablution (wudu) and then the afflicted person should shower with the water form the ablution.* (sunan abu Dawud 419).๐

1) *Seek refuge in Allah form all evil.*
2) *Fear Allah and implement all of his commands and keep away from all that he prohibited. The Prophet (saws) said " Be mindful of Allah and he will protect you. "* (Sahih at-Tirmidhi)๐

4) *Have complete trust in Allah for whomever places his trust in Allah , Allah will be enough for him.*
5) *Have no fear of the envier and do not keep pondering or thinking about him, this is a very beneficial treatment.*
6) *Turn to Allah in sincerity and seek his pleasure in all things.*
7) *Seek repentance from all sins because they humiliate mankind.*
Allah says: ' *And whatever calamities befall you, it is because of what your own hands have earned, and He pardons much. "* Surah Sh-Shu'araa, ayah 30๐
8) *Give optional charity and do as much good as possible. for verily that has a great and amazing effect in combating evil form the envier.*
9) *Keep away from the fire of the envier, the oppressor, and those who afflict others, by being good to them. For every moment they increase in evil, oppression, and envy, you increase in being good to them. Give them advice, be merciful, and pardon them. This cannot be achieved easily except for one who has a great fortune from Allah.*
