TAWEEZ AGAINST EYE ACHES

For those suffering from eye aches, many traditions have recommended saying the following supplicatory prayer after the ritual obligatory prayers of dawn (subh) and sunset (maghrib):

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْكَ اَنْ تُصَلِىَّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَ النُّورَ فى بَصَرى وَالْبَصيرَةَ فى دينى وَ الْيَقينَ فى قَلْبى وَالاِْخْلاصَ فى عَمَلى وَ السَّلامَةَ فى نَفْسى وَ السَّعَةَ فى رِزْقى وَ الشُّكْرَ لَكَ اَبَداً ما اَبْقَيْتَنى

Al-Bizanti reported Yunus ibn ²abyan to have said: One day, we visited Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) and found him tensely sore-eyed; therefore, we were depressed. The next morning, we visited him while he was completely healed. Surprised by this, we asked him, “May Allah accept us as ransoms for you! Have you treated your eyes with a certain medicine?” The Imam answered, “Yes, I have. I have treated them with the best of all medicines.” “What is that?” we asked. The Imam (a.s.) answered, “It is a supplicatory amulet.” We therefore wrote down that supplicatory amulet, which is as follows:

اَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِقُوَّةِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِقُدْرَةِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِنُورِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَةِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِجَلالِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِجَمالِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِبَهآءِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِجَمْعِ اللّٰهِ بِكُلِّ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِغُفْرانِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِرَسُولِ اللّٰهِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِالاَْئِمَّةِ عَلى ما تَشآءُ مِنْ شَرِّ ما اَجِدُ اَللّهُمَّ رَبَّ الْمُطيعينَ

When we asked the Imam (a.s.) about the meaning of jam’allah, he said, “It means the wholeness of Allah.”

It is also reported that one who suffers from eye pains may recite Ayah al-Kursi and believe in his inner self that the reciting of this holy verse will cure him of that pain.

Before reciting this holy verse, one suffering from eye pains is advised to put his hand on his eye and say the following:

اُعيذُ نُورَ بَصَرى بِنُورِاللّٰهِ الَّذى لايُطْفَاءُ

This will be useful.

A SUPPLICATORY AMULET AGAINST NYCTALOPIA

For those who suffer from nyctalopia (i.e. reduction or loss of vision in dim light), they are recommended to write down Ayah al-Nur several times (on a sheet of paper) in a cup, wash it, put it in a flask, and use it as eye ointment.

Ayah al-Nur is the following:

اللَّـهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَاَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ ۗ يَهْدِي اللَّـهُ لِنُورِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّـهُ الْاَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

It is also reported that whoever recites the Holy Qur’an from copies of the Holy Qur’an, will enjoy strong sight.

It is also reported that whoever repeats the following holy verse every day, his eyes will be saved from all optical troubles:

فَجَعَلْناهُ سَميعاً بَصيراً

Al-Kaf’ami says: According to experiments, to seek the advocacy of Imam Musa al-Kazim (a.s.) is useful for cure of eye pains as well as the troubles of the other organs.
