7-DAY PROTECTION FROM THE EVIL EYE PLAN
In the Quran, the evil eye is treated as a real phenomenon; Surah Al-Qalam's 51st verse points to it explicitly. This seven-day plan aims to turn surahs and verses on the evil eye and general protection into a lasting morning-and-evening routine, spread across a week rather than one day. Day one begins with the evil eye's place in the Quran. Days two and three are devoted to Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas — together known as the two Refuge Surahs, teaching refuge from outer and inner evils. Day four turns this pair into the 'Three Quls' with Surah Al-Ikhlas, which conveys monotheism. Day five focuses on Ayat Al-Kursi, which most intensely conveys God's protection. Day six combines the four learned elements into a single morning-and-evening routine. Day seven closes the week with a repetition of the two Refuge Surahs and Al-Baqarah's last two verses (Amanar-Rasulu). Throughout this plan, the point emphasized is that the source of protection is not an object but a sincere consciousness of taking refuge in God. Repeating the routine for seven days turns this consciousness into a natural part of daily life, rather than something confined to a moment of anxiety.

Day 1
The Evil Eye's Place in the Quran
Surah Al-Qalam's 51st verse points to the evil eye as a real phenomenon. Starting with this verse today, remember that protection is a matter of the heart's refuge in God.
- Al-Qalam 51 — the verse pointing to the reality of the evil eye
- Ayat Al-Kursi — 'read it morning and evening, it will protect you' (An-Nasa'i)
Day 2
Surah Al-Falaq
Surah Al-Falaq teaches seeking refuge in God from darkness, those who blow on knots, and the envy of an envier. Reading it three times morning and evening is recommended (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi).
- Al-Falaq — refuge in God from the evil eye, magic, and envy
- Al-Falaq 4 — 'from the evil of those who blow on knots' (focus verse)
Day 3
Surah An-Nas
Surah An-Nas teaches seeking refuge in God from inner whisperings and, together with Al-Falaq, forms the two 'Refuge Surahs'. Read them back to back to bring together outer and inner protection.
Listen to Surah An-NasDay 4
Surah Al-Ikhlas
Surah Al-Ikhlas, which conveys monotheism, completes the group of three (the 'Three Quls') recommended to be read three times morning and evening together with the two Refuge Surahs (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi).
Listen to Surah Al-IkhlasDay 5
Ayat Al-Kursi
Ayat Al-Kursi, which conveys God's protection most intensely. Try reading it twice today, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Listen to Surah Al-BaqarahDay 6
The Morning-and-Evening Routine
Combine the four elements you have learned so far — Al-Falaq, An-Nas, Al-Ikhlas, Ayat Al-Kursi — into one routine. Read or listen to the whole set once in the morning and once in the evening.
- Al-Falaq — repeating the routine (1/4)
- An-Nas — repeating the routine (2/4)
- Al-Ikhlas — repeating the routine (3/4)
Day 7
Review and Reflection
The close of the seven days: re-read the two Refuge Surahs (Al-Falaq and An-Nas) and Al-Baqarah's last two verses (285-286). Which surah gave you the most confidence this week?
- Al-Falaq — closing repetition
- An-Nas — closing repetition
- Amanar-Rasulu (Al-Baqarah 285-286) — the repetition that closes the week
