TAWEEZ AGAINST EVIL EYES

To fend off the evil eyes, it is reported to recite verse No. 51 of Surah al-Qalam (No. 68):

وَاِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِاَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ اِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have said: Once you fear lest you will be affected by an evil eye or you may affect others with it, you may repeat the following statement three times:

ما شآءَاللّٰهُ لا قُوَّةَ اِلاّ بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِىِ الْعَظيمِ

It is also reported that whoever puts on an attractive attire, should recite Surah al-Falaq and Surah al-Nas before leaving his house. If he does, nothing will harm him by the permission of Almighty Allah.

To fend off the evil eyes, you may raise your hand to the level of your face, recite Surah al-Faatehah, Surah al-Falaq, and Surah al-Nas, and rub your forelocks with your hands.

The following supplicatory amulet may be said to fend off the evil eyes:

اَللّهُمَّ رَبَّ مَطَرٍ حابِسٍ وَ حَجَرٍ يابِسٍ وَ لَيْلٍ دامِسٍ وَ رَطْبٍ وَ يابِسٍ رُدَّ عَيْنَ الْعايِنِ عَلَيْهِ فى كَبِدِهِ وَ نَحْرِهِ وَ مالِهِ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرى مِنْ فُطُورٍ ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خاسِئاً وَ هُوَ حَسيرٌ

Another supplicatory amulet against evil eyes is the following:

اَللّهُمَّ ذَا السُّلْطانِ الْعَظيمِ وَالْمَنِّ الْقَديمِ وَالْوَجْهِ الْكَريمِ ذَا الْكَلِماتِ التّامّاتِ وَالدَّعَواتِ المُسْتَجابات عافِ فُلاناً مِنْ اَنْفُسِ الْجِنِّ وَ اَعْيُنِ الاِْنْسِ

Having applied this supplicatory amulet to Imam al-Hasan and Imam al-Husayn (a.s.), the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to his companions, “Apply this supplicatory amulet to your children.”

To protect the animals and other things from the evil eyes, Imam Ali(a.s.) is reported to have advised of using this supplicatory amulet:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الْعَظيمِ عَبَسَ عابِسٍ وَ شَهابَ قابسٍ حَجَرَ يابِسٍ رَدَدْتُ عَيْنَالعايِنِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رَاءْسِهِ اِلى قَدَمَيْهِ اَخَذَ عَيْناهُ قابِضٌ بِكِلاهُ وَ عَلى جارِهِ وَاَقارِبِهِ جِلْدُهُ دَقيقٌ وَ دَمُهُ رَقيقٌ وَ بابُ الْمَكْرُوهِ تَليقُ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرى مِنْ فُطُورٍ ثمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خاسِئاً وَ هُوَ حَسيرٌ
