Very short,
but very powerful.
Short
and very powerful. Why I say it's powerful?
Because this dua is meant to be against
the protection.
It's meant to be for a protection from
the evil eye.
Protection
against the evil eye or hasad.
Why some of us, we have that fear
of evil eye?
Because sometimes we go on our lives and
then we apply for a job, we don't
get the job, and frequently we apply and
then we get rejected. Or we're looking for
a marriage and we don't have good luck
with with, you know, choosing the right spouse,
and many other reasons. And then we just
get into the mindset that hasad
or evil eye is actually causing all of
this.
Causing all of this failure. Or cause causing
this, you know, this this anxiety of losing
something as well. So 2 things. 2 sides
of the coin. Either you're aiming for something
and you're not able to accomplish it, or
you have something that's very precious
and you're concerned about losing it.
And then we claim that the evil eye
is the reason.
Now why do I say that this du'a
is very powerful?
Because Allah here, through the Prophet Muhammad
brought to us this gift, this du'a.
Because he wants us to change these negative
thoughts, this anxiety of losing something or this
fear of facing certain circumstances
or certain consequences.
Allah here wants us to change these negative
thoughts
into a dua. Think about it.
Whenever you feel that maybe there is something
going on, I've met many people today, and
I'm not sure what intentions they have for
me. I'm not sure
if they have given me evil eye or
not.
Here, the Muslim mindset is to change this
negative thought
into what?
A dua. And the dua is right in
front of you. Very short, very beautiful.
The prophet
said, whenever you face
that negative thoughts,
you can say
I'll say it again.
You see refuge in Allah
Here the scholars have different opinions about this.
Some of them said, Imam Malik for instance,
he said, Allah means here the beautiful names
of Allah and attributes. Other scholars said, it's
the Quran. The
perfect words
are the Quran.
And other scholars,
they said, maybe Allah means.
Regardless,
it's very it's very powerful to actually seek
refuge in Allah from the Quran or his
names or some of the Quran.
You seek Allah's protection
from all shayateen.
From all shayateen.
Means any poison creature.
If you're camping
and you're just like afraid of
an animal that can poison you, you seek
Allah's protection from this by saying this dua.
And then the last part.
And You Allah,
I see refuge in you. I seek your
protection
from from
the evil eye.
This way you go on your day, and
you have this tamaleena.
Because if we are uncertain about who's giving
us the evil eye, we know for a
fact that there is
a certainty in Allah
We are uncertain, but Allah is certain.
Our fear is uncertain, but Allah is certain.
Our anxiety
is uncertain, but Allah is certain.
So we claim, we actually believe that Allah
is the one who protects us, and that's
the mindset of a believer.
