3] How to protect oneself against the evil eye

3]
In the recent years I feel I have been struck with it. Allhamdullila
that allah has given me attractive features but see I don't want my
life to be in turmoil because of it. See not all people praise
Allahfor the things they admireespecially the kaafirs. Is there
anyway a young woman can protect herself from the evil eye without
veiling her face? Can wearing Quranic scripture save you from the
evil eye? And what about wearing necklaces and charms in the shape of
an eye or hands because I heard these can protect you and are they
haram? My life is so much better now than before because before I did
not practice islam although I always was a muslim, so does this mean
that because I am a better muslim the evil eye, if I was unfortunate
enough to have it hit me has disappeared from my soulor do I have to
have Quran read over me so it will leave me. How can I save and
protect myself from happening to me again?
Praise be to Allaah.
You should know that hijaab is obligatory, and no one has the right to
choose the rulings that they like and leave those for which they feel
no inclination, because Allaahsays (interpretation of themeaning):
"O you who believe! Enterperfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules
and regulations of the Islamic religion) and follow not the footsteps
of Shaytaan (Satan). Verily, he is to youa plain enemy"[al-Baqarah
2:208]
Ibn Katheer said: "Allaah commands His believing slaves to adhere to
all the rulings and laws of Islam, to follow all the commandments and
heedall the prohibitions." (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 1/566).
The believing women are forbidden to show any of their beauty to
non-mahrams. Allaah says(interpretation of the meaning):
"… and not to show off their adornment except only that which is
apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms
of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and
to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces,
necks and bosoms) and not to revealtheir adornment except totheir
husbands, or their fathers, or their husband'sfathers, or their sons,
or their husband's sons, or their brothers or their brother's sons, or
their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. theirsisters in
Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old
male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of
feminine sex. Andlet them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what
they hide of their adornment. And all of youbeg Allaah to forgive you
all, O believers, that you may be successful" [al-Noor 24:31]
Obeying Allaah's command to observe hijaab will protect you from the
evil eye by Allaah's Leave in this world, and will protect you from
the punishment of Allaah in the Hereafter.
With regard to wearing Qur'aanic verses or certainshapes, Imaam Ahmad
narrated in his Musnad from 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir (may Allaah be pleased
with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "Whoeverwears an amulet, may Allaah not fulfil his need, and
whoever wears seashells [for protection from the evil eye] may Allaah
not protect him." According to another report, a group came to the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he
accepted the bay'ah [allegiance] of nine of them, but not from one
ofthem. They said, "O Messenger of Allaah, you accepted the bay'ah of
nine and not from this one." He said, "He is wearing an amulet."
Thenhe took it in his hand and broke it, and the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) accepted his bay'ah. He said,
"Whoever wears an amulet is guilty of shirk." (From Fataawa al-'Ayn
wa'l-Hasad, p. 277)
With regard to dealing with the evil eye and hasad (destructive envy),
there is no doubt that when a person is close to Allaah, always
remembering Him (dhikr) and reading Qur'aan, he isless likely to be
affected by the evil eye and other kinds of harm from the devils of
mankind and thejinn. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) used to seek refuge with Allaah for himself, and the
greatest means of seeking refuge that is available to the Muslim is
reading the Book of Allaah, above all the Mi'wadhatayn (the last two
Soorahs of the Qur'aan, al-Falaq and al-Naas), Soorat al-Faatihah and
Aayat al-Kursiy [al-Baqarah 2:255].
Among the saheeh du'aa'sfor refuge that have been narrated from the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) are: :->
