Sister, Sihr and Evil eye are two different things.

Khair what you mentioned above about not showing your food etc, reminded me of Imam Shaf'i and his couplets. I even did a thread on it.

The SAD fact of life.

Sister, Yusuf AS was told by his father to hide his dreams from his brothers because of fear of evil eye. I have listened this in a Bayan and also Ml specifically recommends to hide ones blessings because of evil eyes.

Jazakallahu khairan. But I still want to know, if there's any narrations about it or not.

One more thing: If we do dhikr of Allah, then why should we still fear the Evil Eye? Doesn't it show lack of trust in Allah?

Seriously, I've seen people who get waswasa about it. How would you advise them?

It's not lack of trust. Why did the prophet (saw) wear some serious armour when he went for war. He trusted Allah more than anyone, but we gotta do our bit too.

How is doing Zhikr of Allah "lack of trust in Allah" - the fact the one does Zhikr is showing Faith in Allah. Otherwise they'd resort to amulets and tangible objects. And if one does Zhikr for protection from Evil Eye then it doesn't mean one should do all those things that attracts evil eyes. That's like installing an anti-virus software just so you can download and install viruses deliberately. Isn't the purpose to prevent it?

Right. But fearing the evil eye (even after doing Dhikrullah) seems to me lack of trust in Allah. If we remember Allah, don't we believe that He will protect us, then why do we fear it?
Can we still be affected by it even after dhikr?

And do you mean after Dhikrullah, is it okay to fear the Evil Eye?
Those who get waswasa about it, would you tell them it's fine to fear the Evil Eye?


[quote="Yasin"] And if one does Zhikr for protection from Evil Eye then it doesn't mean one should do all those things that attracts evil eyes. That's like installing an anti-virus software just so you can download and install viruses deliberately. Isn't the purpose to prevent it?


Jazakallahu khairan.

So wearing a helmet is against tawakkul of Allah?

Then why did the Prophet (saw) and the Sahabah wear Armour during Battles? Obviously they trusted Allah Ta'ala the most.

Perhaps you are going to the other extreme of 'not tying the camel'.

Anas (radi Allahu anhu) reported that a person asked Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam),
"Should I tie my camel and have Tawakkul (trust in Allah for her protection) or should I leave her untied and have Tawakkul."
Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) replied, "Tie her and have Tawakkul."

[Jami At-Tirmidhi]


P.s. Taking 'precautions' against a thing doesn't equate to 'fearing' it.
The Prophet (saw) took precautions against the Enemies of Islam, that does NOT mean that He (saw) feared them.

Okay if you mean, as a precaution we shouldn't bring our blessings to others attention unless necessary, then fine, It starts making sense to me.

But at least all of you should agree with the fact that, after making dkhirullah we shouldn't fear the Evil Eye, or otherwise It'll be lack of trust in Allah.

As-salam-u-'Alaykum, simply put; Question

Answer

Answered Date: Apr 08,2014

Title: Saying 'Masha'Allah'

Is it wrong when people say for instance, a baby is cute and then say 'Ma Shā Allāh' so no nazr affects them? Or is that why we say Ma Shā Allāh ?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu 'alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam mentioned in a Hadīth:

"ٌّقَح ُنْيَعلا"

"The influence of an evil eye is genuine."[1]

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam also advised us how to overcome the effect of an evil eye. Consider the following Hadīth:

"ُنْيَعْلا ُهُبيِصُياَل :يِنْعَي ." ُنْيَعْلا ُهَّرُضَي ْمَل ،ِهَّللاِباَّلِإ َةَّوُقاَل ،ُهَّللا َءاَشاَم :َلاَقَف ،ُهَبَجْعَأَف اًئْيَش ىَأَر ْنَم"

"Whoever sees something, likes it -and says 'Māshā-Allāh lā quwwata illā billāh' - nothing will harm him [meaning he will stay protected from the evil eye]." [2]

It is stated in another Hadīth:

توملا َنود ًةَفآاهيِف ىَرَيَف ،ِهَّللاب َّالِإ َةَّوُقال ُهَّللا َءاشام :َلاقَف ٍدَلَوَو ٍلاَمو ٍلْهأيف ًةَمْعِن ٍدْبَع ىلع َّلَجَو َّزَع ُهَّللا َمَعْنأ ام

"Allah does not bestow any favor in terms of family, wealth and children to [His] slave, after which he says: 'Māshā-Allāh, laa quwwata illaa billaah' and he will see a calamity in it besides death [meaning he is protected from every calamity besides death]."[3]

Hence, reciting Māshā-Allāh immobilizes the effects of the evil eye.[4]

And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best

Also, masha'Allah, it is my practice to do this, and I heard a tafsir bayan on Surah Dhuha by Mufti Taqi Usmani sahab about proclaiming the bounties of Allah Ta'ala, yet in Ma'ariful Quran it is written about the last verse on pg 815 bottom to 816, (not quoting exactly) talking about the bounties of Allah is one form of shukr(thankfulness.)

and only Allah Ta'ala knows best.
