Duas for Protection from Evil, Envy, and the Evil Eye

Some people also worry about envy or the evil eye. Islam teaches balance: take care, stay calm, and seek refuge in Allah. Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas are the main sources of protection. Read about how this belief appears across cultures on the Wikipedia page about the evil eye.

The Britannica entry on the evil eye gives a broader historical view. For Muslims, the answer is simple: ask Allah, recite His words, and trust Him.
