Dua for Evil Eye (Nazar)

Belief in the unseen is a core tenet for believers of Allah and His messengers. Evil eye (nazar) can show itself in many forms, including jealousy, arrogance, and pride. It is a real phenomenon that can affect anyone, even the most pious of people.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'The evil eye is real and if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye. When you are asked to take a bath (to provide a cure) from the influence of the evil eye, you should take a bath.' (Muslim).

Here are 2 dua for evil eye (nazar) that you can recite for protection. Also included is a translation of Ayat-ul-Kursi, which is among the most powerful ayat in the Quran.

Dua for Evil Eye #1

O Allah! I seek Refuge with Your Perfect Words from every devil and from poisonous pests and from every evil, harmful, envious eye. From Sahih al-Bukhari 3371.

Dua for Evil Eye #2

I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created. From Hisn al-Muslim 216.

Protection with Ayat-ul-Kursi

Allah! There is no god worthy of worship except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who could possibly intercede with Him without His permission? He fully knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them, but no one can grasp any of His knowledge—except what He wills to reveal. His Seat encompasses the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of both does not tire Him. For He is the Most High, the Greatest. From Surah Baqarah, Ayat 255.
