In Islam, the concept of warding off the evil eye, also known as "al-'ayb," is recognized as a legitimate concern. 🏵️🏵️🏵️

The Quran mentions the evil eye in several verses, such as Surah Al-A'raf (7:199) which states, "And put ye [O Muhammad] your trust in Allah. And sufficient is Allah as a Disposer of affairs." (Yusuf Ali translation)

In Surah Al-Naml (27:30), Allah says, "And if an evil whisper come to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the Hearer, the Knower." (Yusuf Ali translation)

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself warned his companions about the evil eye. In a hadith narrated by Abu Huraira (RA), the Prophet (PBUH) said, "The evil eye is real, and if anything (bad) happens to anyone of you, he should say 'Audi 'Billahi minash Shaitanir Rajeem' (I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one)." (Bukhari and Muslim)

To protect oneself from the evil eye, Muslims practice various customs and rituals.

One common prayer that Muslims say to ward off negative energies and protect themselves from harm is "A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem" (I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one). This prayer is mentioned in the Quran and is also narrated in several hadiths.

Another common practice is saying "Bismillah" (In the name of Allah) before starting any new task or venture as a way of seeking Allah's blessings and protection.

This is also mentioned in the Quran and is encouraged by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Muslims are also encouraged to avoid excessive pride and boasting, as this can attract negative energies and envy from others.

Instead, they should strive to be humble and modest in their actions and words.

This advice is mentioned in several hadiths, such as one narrated by Abu Huraira (RA), who said that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "No one of you truly believes until his desires are subservient to what I have brought." (Bukhari and Muslim)
