What is the Evil Eye (Nazar) in Islam?

It is referred to in Islam as "Al-'Ayn". It exists and has effects which can be very serious. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated:
"The evil eye is real, and if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye."
(Sahih Muslim 2188)
In plain words, if a person gazes at you with envy or admiration without uttering "MashaAllah" or with ill intentions, that gaze has the potential to hurt. This is the cause of the evil eye or nazar. 

Signs That You Might Be Affected by Nazar

While only Allah knows for sure, here are some typical signs that people link with nazar:
  • Sudden illness or weakness without medical explanation
  • Continuous ill fortune or unexpected loss of money
  • Babies or children crying uncontrollably without reason
  • Wilting of plants or animals getting ill
  • Relationships experiencing unexpected strain

If you happen to observe any of these, it's wise to recite a dua to eliminate nazar as part of your religious protection.
