The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ confirmed that the evil eye is real. He taught us to seek protection in Allah from envy and the harm caused by the gaze of others.
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ
A’udhu bi-kalimatillahi at-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammati, wa min kulli 'aynin lammati.
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous pest, and from every envious, harmful eye.
