Evil Eye

Evil-Eye – taken from a Khutbah given by Dawud Adib (www.troid.org):

Aboo Tasneem continues, ‘…Jealousy and envy and the Evil-Eye. Allaah has informed us to seek refuge in Him from envy and jealousy. Envy and jealousy is something that will have not only a spiritual affect on you, if it is cast upon you by the unknowing or knowing individual, it is something that can have a physiological affect upon you. And this is why, the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) has said: Speak the success of all of your needs by being silent. Meaning don’t tell anybody that you are about to get $400,000, don’t tell anybody or don’t tell everybody that you are going to marry so and so, don’t tell anybody or anyone that you are getting ready to receive such and such or you have such and such. Because surely everything that has a blessing in it is envied by the people. The first sin that was created in the Heavens, the first disobedience in the Heavens was jealousy.’
