In a world filled with hidden envy, spiritual jealousy, and unseen energies that can silently affect our hearts and homes. Protection from evil eye (al-‘Ayn) becomes not just a spiritual recommendation—but a daily necessity.
Islam, in its mercy, has granted us powerful means of safeguarding ourselves, our families, and our relationships through du’as, dhikr, and the recitation of the Qur’an.
Let us turn to the guidance of the Qur’an and Sunnah to protect our homes and hearts from unseen harm.
Quranic Dua for Protection from Envy and Evil
وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
Wa min sharri haasidin idhaa hasad.
“And from the evil of the envier when he envies.”
— Surah Al-Falaq (113:5)
Surah Al-Falaq is one of the most recommended chapters for daily protection. Alongside Surah An-Naas, it was revealed as part of the Mu’awwidhatayn. Two surahs meant to safeguard believers from all forms of evil. Especially envy and the evil eye.
Recite Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas every morning and evening as part of your daily spiritual routine.
Sunnah Du’a for Protection from the Evil Eye
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلتَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ
A’udhu bikalimaatillaahit-taammaati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah, wa min kulli ’aynin laammah.
“I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous creature and from every harmful eye.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari (3371)
This du’a was recited by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for his grandchildren—Hassan and Hussain (may Allah be pleased with them). It is a Sunnah to recite it for yourself, your loved ones, and your children to protect from unseen harm.
How to Use These Du’as in Your Life

For your spouse: Recite these du’as after Fajr and before Maghrib with the intention of safeguarding your marriage from envy and outside interference.
-

-
For your own self or loved ones: Recite while placing your hand on their head or chest (if permissible), especially if you feel emotional or physical effects of the evil eye.

A Reminder from the Prophet ﷺ:
Ibn ‘Abbas reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
— Sahih Muslim (2188)
This hadith confirms the real, serious nature of ‘Ayn (evil eye). That’s why Islam teaches us not only how to avoid envy, but how to actively protect ourselves from its harm through remembrance, du’a, and spiritual routines.
