How to Protect Your Child from the Evil Eye

Protecting Your Child from the Evil Eye

Seeking Protection for Children Dua

Children are more vulnerable to the evil eye. It’s important therefore to teach them the adhkār as soon as possible and instruct them to recite and blow on themselves. Since very young children are unable to recite, parents should regularly recite the adhkār, particularly Āyat al-Kursī and the last three sūrahs of the Qur’ān and blow on them. Furthermore, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seek Allah’s protection for Ḥasan and Ḥusayn (radiy Allāhu ʿanhumā) by saying:

أُعِيْذُكُمَا (أُعِيْذُكَ) بِكَلِمَاتِ اللّٰهِ التَّامَّةِ ، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَّهَامَّةٍ ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَّامَّةٍّّ (Bukhārī)

Substitute أُعِيْذُكُمَا with أُعِيْذُكَ when praying on one child.
