20 Curse Evil Eye Signs and Symptoms

1. Unexplained Skin Issues

Suddenly noticing weird marks, rashes, or small bumps that appear for no medical reason and won’t heal no matter what you try can be a common sign of the evil eye.

2. Unknown Illnesses That Doctors Can’t Explain

You feel sick, weak, or in pain, but your medical tests show everything is “normal.”

You might have constant joint pain, lower back pain, stiff shoulders, or random stomach issues that never seem to go away.

3. Sudden Loss of Appetite or Weight Changes

Sometimes you just don’t feel hungry anymore, or you lose or gain weight for no reason, even when your eating habits haven’t changed.

4. Chest Tightness and Restlessness

You feel pressure in your chest, your heart beats fast, and anxiety takes over all without any clear cause.

5. Never-Ending Headaches

Headaches that move from one part of your head to another or refuse to go away despite medicine may be a clear energetic disturbance, a sign that someone’s jealous gaze hit you.

6. Excessive Yawning and Sighing

If you start yawning repeatedly during prayer, meditation, or while reading the Qur’an, it could be more than just tiredness; it might be an Evil Eye leaving your system.

7. Sleep Disturbances

Insomnia, waking up frequently at night, or feeling uneasy while trying to rest are all spiritual warning signs.

8. Emotional and Mental Changes

Out of nowhere, you start feeling irritated, angry, or anxious. You might even begin fearing death, overthinking, or fighting over small issues.

9. Sudden Mood Swings

You feel happy one minute, then low or snappy the next. Your memory weakens, and your energy feels “off.”

10. Dull or Changing Face Color

When your face suddenly turns pale, dull, or develops dark circles without any health reason, that’s not random. It’s often linked to spiritual fatigue from the evil eye.

11. Hair Loss

One of the most common signs that your beautiful, healthy, shiny hair is falling out excessively is when people praise it too much.

12. Anxiety or Panic Attacks

Your heart races, your breathing feels heavy, and even small things can make you panic. Such restlessness may be a sign of spiritual influence from negative energy around you.

Spiritual and Emotional Signs (Beyond the Physical)

13. Sudden Sadness or Hopelessness

You start feeling down, unmotivated, and uninterested in life, as if something is silently draining your energy and joy.

14. Fear of Death or Constant Worry

You suddenly begin fearing death or feeling like something bad will happen. This is a strong spiritual indicator.

15. Loss of Barakah (Blessing) in Rizq or Work

Your business was doing well, but suddenly, sales drop, arguments increase, and money disappears. Even food seems to finish faster; this is a sign of barakah being taken away.

16. Spiritual Fatigue

You feel spiritually exhausted. Even small acts of worship seem heavy, and you feel detached from your surroundings.

17. Bad or Terrifying Dreams

Disturbing dreams, seeing dark shadows, or waking up scared are common spiritual reactions to the evil eye.

18. Sleep Paralysis

Feeling frozen while awake or sensing a heavy presence in the room can also indicate strong spiritual interference.

19. Social Withdrawal

You stop enjoying being around people, avoid family or friends, and prefer isolation, not because you want to, but because you feel uneasy around others.

20. No Interest in Worship

A person affected by the evil eye often feels too lazy or distracted to pray, read the Qur’an, or make dhikr, even if they used to love it before.

Prophetic Warning in Hadith Sahih

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ clearly warned us about the reality of the Evil Eye.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5740

Real Effects of the Evil Eye Backed by the Hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ)

There are several hadiths describing the severe effects of the evil eye, which can act like a hidden curse.

• Asma bint Umays (RA) once said to the Prophet ﷺ:

(Musnad Ahmad, Tirmidhi – Hadith No. 2059)

• Narrated Um Salama:

 (Sahih al-Bukhari 5739)

This means that the evil eye is so powerful, it could almost overcome what has been written if Allah didn’t will otherwise.

Good vs Envious People’s Gazes with Bad: Amazing and Surprising Difference

Not all eyes carry the same energy. In Islamic teachings and spiritual insight, the effect of a person’s gaze depends on the intention and energy behind it.

Understanding this subtle difference helps you guard your energy, attract positivity, and avoid unseen harm.

1: A good person’s gaze:

called A‘in (عائن), carries positive or neutral energy:

• It comes from admiration, love, or kindness, not jealousy.

• Any subtle energy transmitted through their eyes is harmless and can even be neutralized with remembrance of Allah, such as saying:

• Masha Allah, La quwwata illa billah → “What Allah has willed has happened; there is no power except with Allah.”

• Barak Allahu fihi → “May Allah bless it.”

Example: A teacher smiles at your success, or a friend admires your children. Their gaze is pure and safe, sometimes even bringing blessings.

2: An envious person’s gaze:

called Hasid (حاسد), carries negative or destructive energy:

• It arises from envy, resentment, or ill intent.

• Their gaze can subtly act like a spiritual curse, impacting your health, mood, or success, even if they don’t consciously intend harm.

• Protection is essential; remembrance of Allah safeguards your blessings.

  
  

Example: A coworker envies your promotion, or someone resents your happy family. Their eyes can convey harmful energy without a word being spoken.

Why the Difference Is Amazing and Important:

• Good gazes are harmless and sometimes bring blessings.

• Envious gazes can subtly harm and disrupt your life.

• Recognizing the amazing difference helps you protect yourself and maintain your blessings.

• Even a person who is blind or not physically present can cast the evil eye by hearing about someone’s qualities, success, or blessings.

• This is why protection through remembrance of Allah, reciting ruqyah, and saying “Masha Allah”, along with the guidance of the “Shaitan tie knot” Hadith, check it out on our homepage. (open now)

• Helps safeguard your energy from the evil eye.

  
  

How the Evil Eye Works (According to Scholars)

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (RA) explained it beautifully:

(Zad al-Ma‘ad, Ibn al-Qayyim)

In simple words, the evil eye is not superstition. It’s an unseen energetic arrow, and our spiritual armor (duas, dhikr, and faith) determines whether it hits us or bounces off.

Quran says:

(Surah An-Nur 24:30)

Kanz-ul-Iman

• It is the eyes through which temptation spreads,

• The eyes that give birth to evil and lead towards wrongdoing.

That is why Islam commands both men and women to guard their gaze and protect what they look at.

The Incident of the Evil Eye in the Quran (Surah Al-Qalam 51–52)

It is narrated that in Arabia, there were certain people well-known for their powerful “evil eye.” They claimed that if they looked at something with the intention to harm it, that thing would immediately perish, and they had witnessed such incidents many times.

When the disbelievers of Makkah heard of this, they said to those men,

So they stared intensely at the Prophet ﷺ and said,

They were known for causing harm simply by looking with astonishment or envy. But all their efforts, like their other conspiracies and tricks, failed.

Allah Almighty protected His beloved Prophet ﷺ from their harm, and these verses were revealed on that occasion.

(Khazin Madarik, Surah Al-Qalam, under verses 51–52, pp. 1271–1272)

Psychology Behind Evil Eye: Spiritual Science

Modern psychology may not see the evil eye as supernatural, but research shows that a person’s emotions, intentions, and even their gaze can affect those around them.

Spiritually, this is called the evil eye. Psychologically, it’s emotional contagion that moods, feelings, and intentions subtly spread from one person to another.

For example, two people chatting happily can suddenly feel tense if a resentful or negative person joins. The energy shifts instantly, even without a word being spoken. Facial expressions, tone, and body language send signals that others pick up subconsciously, leaving them uneasy, drained, or anxious.

A 2021 study in Frontiers in Psychology confirms:

Ruqyah and Modern Sciences

1. The Prophet’s Dua for Hasan and Husain رضی اللہ عنہم Against the Evil Eye

   
   

Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) reported:

The Prophet ﷺ used to seek protection for Hasan and Husain by saying:

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 3371)

2. Ruqyah method in Islam

The Prophet ﷺ said:

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 5738)

3. Best Remedy for Evil Eye: Glass of Water Silva Method

   
   

There’s a gentle, time-tested way to help clear the effects of the evil eye, a method that many people have relied on for centuries.

With the Glass of Water Silva Method, you can gently and naturally clear negative energy using faith, focus, and Qur’anic recitation, combining spiritual healing with the science of intention and energy vibration.

This method not only aligns the soul and mind but also helps the body respond positively, promoting calm, balance, and a sense of protection.

Take clean water in a glass cup (glass is preferred over metal or plastic). With full focus and faith, recite one of the following:

• Surah Al-Fatiha 7 times,

  or

  
  

• Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas 3 times each,

  or

  
  

• A verse from Surah Al-Qalam (68:51–52) 3 times.

  
  

Start and end your recitation with Durood Shareef (salawat on the Prophet ﷺ).

After reciting, lightly blow on the affected person and gently move the glass around him/her, as if spiritually cleansing them.

⚠️ A Few Important Tips

• Do each recitation separately. For example, if you recite Surah Al-Qalam today, don’t combine it with Surah Al-Falaq or Al-Fatiha in the same session.

  
  

• Rotate recitations on different days to keep the process effective.

  
  

• Important: recite the Ruqyah Surah and blow over the person, not the water.

  
  

• When finished, pour the water into the toilet, avoiding clean areas or gardens it has absorbed negative energy.

  
  

Cure for Evil Eye: Scientific Perspective

Modern research shows that sound, intention, and focused energy can actually influence water and human energy fields. When Qur’anic verses are recited over water with full faith, these vibrations can help restore emotional balance, ease stress, and promote a deep feeling of calm and relaxation.
