• By: noori talk

In our daily lives, we often hear people talk about jealousy (hasad) and the evil eye (nazar). These unseen forces can affect our peace of mind, health, relationships, and even financial stability. Many people feel sudden changes in their lives — unexplained sadness, conflicts at home, or obstacles in marriage — and wonder if jealousy or nazar could be the reason.

Islam provides us with strong spiritual tools to protect ourselves. Through rohani ilaj (spiritual healing), Qur’anic duas, wazifas, and istikhara for guidance, we can strengthen our faith and shield ourselves from negative energies.

Understanding Jealousy and Nazar in Islam

• Jealousy (Hasad): When someone envies your blessings and secretly wishes harm, it can create negative energy.
  
• Nazar (Evil Eye): It occurs when someone looks at you with envy or admiration but without saying “MashaAllah” or remembering Allah. This can unintentionally cause harm.
  

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “The evil eye is real. If anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye.” (Sahih Muslim)

This shows how serious jealousy and nazar are, and why spiritual protection is essential.

Islamic Ways to Protect Yourself from Jealousy & Nazar

Here are some effective rohani ilaj and Qur’anic remedies:

1. Recite Qur’anic Surahs Regularly

• Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas – These two are known as Mu’awwidhatayn (verses of protection). Recite them daily for safeguarding yourself and your family.
  
• Ayat-ul-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255) – Recite it after every prayer for divine protection.
  
• Surah Al-Ikhlas – Reading it three times brings great blessings.
  

2. Daily Duas for Protection

Some powerful duas to protect yourself include:

• “Bismillahilladhi la yadurru ma’asmihi shay’un fil-ardi wa la fissama’i, wa Huwas-Sami’ul-‘Alim” (In the Name of Allah, with Whose Name nothing in the earth or the heaven can cause harm. He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing).
  

3. Use Islamic Wazifa for Protection

A simple wazifa for protection from nazar:

• After Fajr and Maghrib, recite “Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa, ‘alayhi tawakkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Azim” (7 times).
  This strengthens reliance on Allah and shields against negative energies.
  

4. Perform Istikhara for Guidance

Sometimes jealousy and nazar bring confusion into our lives, especially in marriage decisions, business choices, or relationship problems. Performing istikhara prayer helps you make the right choice with Allah’s guidance, keeping you safe from harmful influences.

5. Practice Simple Rohani Ilaj

• Keep water, recite Surah Fatiha, Ayat-ul-Kursi, and blow on it. Drink and sprinkle around the house.
  
• Burn pure incense or use olive oil with Qur’anic recitation for cleansing the environment.
  
• Maintain a habit of daily zikr (remembrance of Allah) to strengthen your soul.
