Exposing your children to evil eye.

*Exposing your children to evil eye.*

Bismillah.... Although most of my readers will argue that evil eye is a myth or untrue, yet, beware of the fact that the Prophet PBUH has spoken about evil eye and confirms that it is true and some people have evil eyes. Which is why many du'ās were revealed in several hadith which protect us from evil eyes. 

Umm Salamah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a servant girl in her house whose face has become discolored. The Prophet said, “Treat her with protective recitations, as she has been afflicted by an evil eyes.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5739

So what is evil eyes?

Naturally some people have some sort of elements inside them which influence them to cause harm onto others whenever they comment on them or look at them. This scenario is evident in the seerah of the Prophet, where a man looked at a fellow companion and admired his back by saying "You have such a beautiful back". The Sahabi fell unconsciously until the Prophet intervene.

Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The evil eye is real. If anything could precede the divine decree, it would be preceded by the evil eye. When you are asked to perform a ritual bath, then do so.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2188

So dear parents and family members,

Whenever you post pictures of your children on social media, there are high chances that someone with evil eyes can see them and comment, and that gesture could cause harm to them. Which is why sometimes kids will be sick and you just can't figure out why they are sick or what's happening to them. My own sisters was a victim.

The irony is that people who have evil eyes might not necessarily know it. So they keep using it and keep harming people unintentionally. Hence, i urge you to avoid posting photos of children, at times even adults can be affected. Look at people who are beautiful or handsome, when they post something, thousands of people like and comment on it. Only Allah knows what's going on behind the scene.

Du'ā for evil eyes.

A'udhu  bi kalimaat Allaahi ttaammati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah
