Protecting Yourself from the Evil Eye with the Quran: Verses, Supplications, and Practical Tips

Several Quranic verses are particularly effective for protection against the evil eye. Here are the primary passages to recite:

1. Surah Al-Falaq (113)

This chapter seeks Allah’s protection from all forms of harm, including envy:

“And from the evil of the envier when he envies.”

2. Surah An-Nas (114)

It complements Surah Al-Falaq by asking for protection against evil influences, whether human or spiritual.

3. Ayat Al-Kursi (Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 255)

Ayat Al-Kursi is one of the most powerful verses for safeguarding against harm:

“Whoever recites Ayat Al-Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing will prevent them from entering Paradise except death.”
(Reported by An-Nasa’i)

4. The Last Two Verses of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:285-286)

These verses also provide divine protection. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) emphasized their importance for guarding against harm.
