Does the Quran mention the evil eye?

[Applause] right so okay [Music] then they say you know he's he's insane they say this about the prophet so these are the two key verses that people use then they allude to certain hadith which are found um in various books of hadith um that

the evil eye is a reality now the this is found in terms of hadith it is in bukhari uh it's in muslim it is in ibn maja and there's a bunch of narrations in the muslims and we'll come to them as well none of these narrations are authentic okay and they do clash with the understanding of the quran and the quran has never ever spoken of the evil eye just to be clear the quran has never

spoken of the evil eye never not even once as it mentioned the evil eye it does mention hasad which is envied which is not the word for the evil eye in arabic the evil eye is a line now yet it will mention jealousy does mention envy these things but it does not mention the evil eye so yes some people have tried to fit that onto the evil eye which is fine i mean that's their interpretation but it's not the quran has never mentioned it um just immediately beginning with this particular verse that was mentioned

about slipping up you will see that this is ibn ashur the maliki legend the great sheikh islam of the 20th century and the kind of who i have and ijaza going through as well through um now he he writes in the tafseer of this america now he writes and i said oh i say that you he says on

all perspectives no matter basically no matter how you know the cookie crumbles no matter how you look at this um he says the fact that they're trying to slip you up this this usage in the quran is a metaphor it is metaphorical usage it's not literal

he says that it is that the absar are then the metaphor is likened to arrows it is as though um and then he mentions it is as though uh and that's that they're trying to kind of aim at you it's how we would say in english almost like looking daggers at someone and he says oh he says

it's like the verse of the quran when allah says the shaytan tries to that indeed the shaitaan has caused them to slip like he has slipped them up he's tripped them as a consequence of some of their actions but this the devil making them slip is not a physical slipping it's a metaphorical usage so that's mentioning that in the tafsir and the reason i'm highlighting this is because people will state that look um these are the verses of the

quran and you will see here that's uh by the alabi a tafsir that will mention this the same kind of thing he's got there and he quotes the he quotes uh a po a poem as well as evidence to say that one he quotes the poem so he's just a bit far out not appearing so large on my um

on my screen but he he mentions as well very clearly that this is not a physical and then he does go on to say some people claimed oh this is to do with the evil eye but his first interpretation at the top um he mentions is to do with while adawa is to do with an enmity that they look daggers at you okay that is the alabi this here is

okay now you can see here as well that he mentions he quotes obviously now people might say oh zuma is mata but still will bring him in obviously wasn't the other person uh tha alabi isn't but we're still uh bringing the people do quote zamakshari as well he's from the mufassian that mentioning a similar thing that look it's to do with the way they're staring at you it's from their hatred like they give you know it's they're looking daggers at

you he says that the arabs would say that oh he looked at me in such a way boy he almost you know knocked me out like like he's staring at me with such kind of uh spitefulness and he also quotes the same poem um where it mentions that some people they look at you in such ways that it almost uh trips the steps of people but it's nothing to do with the evil eye

now this is quoted from his father um and he mentions that how does he's trying to highlight how does the evil eye work and he mentions that look this is something that has been massively problematic for many people and he goes into explaining that people differ it might be by uh means summing a kind of poison that is sent from the eye and it goes from the ainul a in as you can see there the anal atin in
