Ruqyah for Evil Eye (Ayn): Understanding and Healing Through Qur’anic Recitation
What Is the Evil Eye in Islam?
In Islam, the evil eye (al-ʿayn) refers to the harm caused when someone looks at another person or their blessings with envy, jealousy, or excessive admiration. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The evil eye is real; if anything were to overtake destiny, it would be the evil eye.”
(Sahih Muslim)
The evil eye can affect one’s health, emotions, relationships, and sustenance (rizq). It is often subtle — yet powerful — and may manifest in ways that seem unexplained by medical or logical means.
Common Symptoms of Evil Eye (Ayn)
While not every difficulty is caused by the evil eye, certain recurring symptoms may point towards it:
Sudden fatigue or heaviness without medical cause
Unexplained sadness or anxiety
Repeated loss of motivation or focus
Financial or marital blockages
Sudden illness or skin irritation
Constant yawning, tightness in chest, or headaches during recitation
If these symptoms persist despite medical treatment, Ruqyah (spiritual healing through Qur’anic recitation) can potentially bring powerful relief.
What Is Ruqyah for Evil Eye?
Ruqyah is the practice of reciting verses from the Qur’an and authentic supplications (duas) seeking Allah’s protection and healing.
Ruqyah for the evil eye specifically focuses on verses of protection, purification, and the removal of envy or negative energy. It is not magic or superstition — it is a Sunnah method of seeking help directly from Allah.
Recommended Verses for Ruqyah Against Evil Eye
Below are some Qur’anic verses and surahs often recited during Ruqyah for ayn (evil eye):
Surah Al-Fatihah (1) — A general healing chapter
Ayat al-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255) — Protection from harm
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:285–286 — Strengthening faith and protection

By a qualified Ruqyah practitioner
How to Perform Self-Ruqyah for Evil Eye
Begin with wudu (ablution) and sit calmly facing qiblah.
Recite the verses above with full concentration and conviction.
Blow lightly into your hands and wipe over your body.
You may also recite into water or olive oil, and use it for washing or applying on the body.
Repeat daily, ideally after Fajr or before sleeping.
If symptoms persist, consult a trained Ruqyah practitioner who can perform a more thorough session.
