Evil eye known in Urdu as Nazar is a reality confirmed in Islam. It is not superstition. Rasoolullah ﷺ said clearly:
When someone looks at a person, child, or possession with excessive admiration even without bad intention it can cause harm. This is why Islam has given us specific supplications and a practical method to remove the effects of the evil eye.
Nazar Utarne Ki Dua refers to the supplications recited to remove or protect against the evil eye. These duas come directly from the Quran and authentic Hadith of Rasoolullah ﷺ, making them the most reliable and spiritually powerful protection a Muslim can turn to.
Nazar Utarne Ki Dua in Quran
Allah ﷻ has blessed us with two complete surahs specifically for seeking protection from harm, envy, and the evil eye. These are Surah Al-Falaq (Chapter 113) and Surah An-Naas (Chapter 114), collectively known as Al-Mu’awwidhatayn the two surahs of seeking refuge.
Surah Al-Falaq
Arabic Text:
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ﴿١﴾ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ﴿٢﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ﴿٣﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ﴿٤﴾ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ﴿٥﴾
Transliteration: Qul a’udhu bi Rabbil-falaq. Min sharri ma khalaq. Wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab. Wa min sharrin-naffathati fil-‘uqad. Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad.
Meaning: “Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the daybreak from the evil of what He has created, from the evil of the darkening night when it settles, from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of the envier when he envies.”
Surah An-Naas
Arabic Text:
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ﴿١﴾ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ ﴿٢﴾ إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ ﴿٣﴾ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ ﴿٤﴾ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ ﴿٥﴾ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ ﴿٦﴾

Meaning: “Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind the King of mankind, the God of mankind from the evil of the retreating whisperer who whispers in the hearts of mankind, from among jinn and mankind.”
Nazar Utarne Ki Dua – From Authentic Hadith
Beyond the Quran, Rasoolullah ﷺ taught specific supplications for removing the evil eye. These are part of the Islamic practice of Ruqyah healing and protection through Quranic recitation and prayer.
Dua 1 – The Dua Rasoolullah ﷺ Recited for Hasan and Husain (RA)
Arabic Text:
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ
Transliteration: A’udhu bi kalimatillahit-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammah, wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah.
Meaning: “I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and every harmful creature, and from every evil eye.”
This dua is especially important for Bacho Ki Nazar Utarne Ki Dua it is directly established from the Sunnah and was personally practiced by Rasoolullah ﷺ for children.

Transliteration: Bismillahi arqeek, min kulli shay’in yu’dheek, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘ayni haasid, Allahu yashfeek, bismillahi arqeek.
Meaning: “In the name of Allah, I perform ruqyah upon you — from every thing that harms you, from the evil of every soul or envious evil eye. May Allah heal you. In the name of Allah, I perform ruqyah upon you.”
Dua 3 – Ayatul Kursi for Daily Protection
Arabic Text:
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ…
Transliteration: Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyoom, la ta’khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm…
Meaning: “Allah — there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep…”
Rasoolullah ﷺ said: “Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except death.”
Ayatul Kursi is one of the most powerful verses for protection and is regularly recited as part of Nazar Utarne Ki Dua aur Tarika practiced by Muslims worldwide.
