In Islam, Nazar (or Al-'Ayn) refers to the evil eye, a harmful gaze often stemming from envy or intense admiration, causing misfortune, illness, or loss, though it's recognized as real but secondary to Allah's will. Muslims protect themselves through faith, reciting specific Quranic verses (like Surah Al-Falaq and An-Naas), remembering Allah (dhikr), and seeking refuge in Him, acknowledging its reality but avoiding superstition.
''Nazar is so real'' Allah Almighty says ''And from the evil of the envier when he envies''(113:5) The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Said 'the evil eye is real'. A private life, is a safe life.
How to Protect Oneself from Evil Eye
In Islam, the 🧿 (Nazar Amulet) symbol, known as the evil eye, is considered a prohibited superstition (Shirk) by most scholars, as it's an amulet believed to ward off harm, which contradicts the Islamic principle that only Allah can protect, making reliance on such charms a form of disbelief. While the evil eye itself (al-'ayn) is a recognized concept in Islamic belief, the use of the eye amulet (nazar boncuğu) is a cultural practice, not a religious one, and is discouraged in favor of Quranic verses like Surah Al-Falaq and An-Nas for protection.
