Evil Eye. According to hadith, the Prophet Muhammad confirmed that the evil eye, borne by jealousy or envy, is real and capable of causing harm or misfortune. The Verse of Evil Eye (Arabic: * وَإِنْ يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ. * وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ ) is verse 51 and 52 of Al-Qalam (Q68:51-52) in the Quran.
