The evil eye (al-ʿAyn / Nazar) is a reality confirmed in the Qur’an and Sunnah. It occurs when a person looks at someone with envy, jealousy, or even excessive admiration, knowingly or unknowingly, which results in harm. The Prophet ﷺ said:
> “The evil eye is real, and if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye.” (Muslim)
Understanding the symptoms of the evil eye is very important in order to identify it early and seek proper Islamic remedies such as Ruqyah, supplication, and protection through the Qur’an and Sunnah.
