Nazre Bad Ki Dua is the Prophetic supplication “U’eedhuka bi kalimaatillaahit-taammati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammatin wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah,” which asks Allah to protect you or your child from the evil eye.
That is the short version for anyone standing over a baby’s cradle right now. Say it, mean it, and breathe lightly over your child. Nazre Bad Ki Dua comes from an authentic hadith in Sahih Bukhari, and it takes about ten seconds to recite. The rest of this post gives you the Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Roman English text, the meaning, a daily routine for kids, and the mistakes that quietly weaken a good habit.

The Prophet ﷺ originally said this over his grandsons Hasan and Husayn, so the text says “you both.” For other people, only the first word changes.

Nazre Bad Ki Dua Sahih Bukhari |
The hadith source |
What Is Nazar, and Why Do So Many People Take It Seriously?
Nazar (also called nazre bad or the evil eye) is harm that reaches a person through an envious or admiring glance. The Arabic word is ‘ayn. A few terms help here:
- Hasad: envy, the feeling behind most nazar.
- Dhikr: remembering Allah through words like “Ma sha Allah” and “Subhanallah.”
- Ruqyah: reciting Quran and authentic duas for protection or healing.
- Tawakkul: relying on Allah while still taking practical steps.
The Prophet ﷺ confirmed it in Sahih Bukhari (hadith 5740): the evil eye is real. Sahih Muslim (hadith 2188) adds that if anything could outrun the divine decree, it would be the evil eye. That is a serious statement, and it explains why families act early.
The numbers behind the belief
- 2.0 billion. Pew Research Center (2025) estimates the world’s Muslim population at 2.0 billion in 2020, about 25.6% of all people.
- 20 of 39. In Pew Research Center’s landmark 2012 survey, half or more Muslims in 20 of the 39 countries surveyed said they believe in the evil eye.
- 69% and 66%. The same survey found clear majorities in Turkey (69%) and Kazakhstan (66%) who say the evil eye is real.
- 61% and 53%. Pakistani Muslims (61%) and Afghan Muslims (53%) were far more likely than Bangladeshi Muslims to believe in it.
Translation for a content-minded reader: this is not a fringe topic. Billions of people share a daily need for a clean, authentic, easy-to-recite protection routine, and most of what they find online is a mix of forwards and folk habits.
Nazre Bad Ki Dua Sahih Bukhari: The Source You Can Trust
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ used to seek protection for Hasan and Husayn with these words, and said that their forefather Ibrahim (peace be upon him) used to seek protection for Ismail and Ishaq the same way. This is recorded in Sahih Bukhari, hadith 3371.
Not every dua online carries this weight. Here is a simple ladder for judging what you read.
| Source level | Example | How much to trust it |
|---|---|---|
|
Quran |
Surah Al-Falaq, An-Nas, Al-Qalam 68:51 |

|
Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim |
Hadith 3371 and 2188 |

Why this dua works (the part most posts skip)
It works because it is not a spell. Look at the structure: you are asking Allah, through His perfect words, for refuge from three named dangers: the devil (shaytan), any harmful creature (hammah), and the harmful eye (‘ayn lammah). You are not guarding yourself with a charm. You are handing the matter to the One who controls it.
In my view, this is why the dua is so short and so complete. It covers the unseen threat, the physical threat and the human threat in one breath, and it is easy enough for a tired parent at 3 a.m.
Nazre Bad Ki Dua Surah Qalam and the Two Protective Surahs
Three Quranic sources come up again and again alongside Nazre Bad Ki Dua.
1. Surah Al-Qalam (68:51 to 52). Many classical commentators connect verse 51 with the evil eye:
وَإِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
Many scholars recite these two verses in ruqyah. Treat it as a recitation, not a charm to hang or wear.
2. Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas. Tirmidhi (hadith 2058) reports that the Prophet ﷺ used to seek refuge from the jinn and the evil eye of people until these two surahs were revealed. After that, he took them and left everything else. That is a strong hint about where to put your daily effort.
3. Surah Al-Ikhlas with the two above. Abu Dawud (hadith 5082) reports that reciting Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas three times each in the morning and evening is enough for you.
Nazre Bad Ki Dua for Kids, Babies and Bachon Ke Liye
Children are the main reason this dua gets searched, and the reason is simple. Everyone loves to praise a plump baby, and nobody wants to be rude to a proud relative.
Nazre Bad Ki Dua for Babies: a gentle routine
- Wash your hands and sit calmly.
- Recite the dua with the right first word (U’eedhuka for one child).
- Recite Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas once, softly.
- Blow a light, dry breath into your cupped palms and wipe them over the child’s head, arms and back.
- Repeat after Fajr and after Asr or Maghrib.
For a newborn, never blow directly on the face. Wiping with your breath-warmed palms is enough.
Bacho Ko Nazre Bad Ki Dua: teaching older kids
From age four or five, teach children to say it themselves. Make it a game: “Who can say the dua before the school bus comes?” Kids who learn the words early carry them for life, and they learn that safety comes from Allah, not from a black dot or a bead.
Mini case study: how one family changed their habit
A mother in Lahore had a six-month-old who got compliments everywhere. Each time, she felt a knot in her stomach and then spent the evening worrying. Her habit was to quietly tie a black thread on the stroller and say nothing. Here is what changed.
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
|
When someone praises the baby |
Says nothing, worries all evening |
Says “Ma sha Allah, Barakallahu fihi” out loud and invites the guest to say it too |
|
Daily protection |
Black thread on the stroller |
Morning and evening dua plus the three surahs |
|
Mindset |
Fear |
Calm reliance on Allah |
|
If the baby cries or runs a fever |
Blames nazar and waits |
Gives the dua, then calls the pediatrician |
The last row matters most. Dua and medicine work together. Persistent crying, poor feeding or fever needs a doctor, whatever you believe the cause is.
The Hifazat Loop: A Four-Step Daily Framework
I call this the Hifazat Loop, because hifazat (protection) is the thing most families actually want. It is a routine you can copy as-is.
| Step | Action | Time needed |
|---|---|---|
| Say | Recite Nazre Bad Ki Dua over your child or yourself | 10 seconds |
| Seek | Recite Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas (3 times each, morning and evening) | 2 minutes |
| Speak | Say “Ma sha Allah, la quwwata illa billah” and “Barakallah” when admiring anything | 3 seconds, as needed |
| See a professional | Take real symptoms to a doctor, and ask a trusted scholar if you need ruqyah guidance | As needed |
The third step comes from the Quran (Surah Al-Kahf 18:39) and from the hadith reported in Ibn Majah (3509) where the Prophet ﷺ asked why a person did not say “Barakallah” after admiring something. The lesson is that the best protection against your own accidental nazar is a blessing on your lips.
Your daily checklist
- Morning: dua plus the three surahs
- Before leaving the house: dua over each child
- When admiring someone or something: “Ma sha Allah” first
- Evening: dua plus the three surahs again
- Before sleep: Ayat al-Kursi
- Any real symptom: doctor first, dua alongside
Nazre Bad Ki Dua Dawateislami and Shia Practice
Different communities share the same core belief and recite largely the same Quranic protections.
Dawateislami. Dawat-e-Islami, the Karachi-based Sunni movement, shares dua collections in Urdu, Hindi and Roman text through its booklets and apps. If you read a Nazre Bad Ki Dua Dawateislami card, compare its wording with the Sahih Bukhari text above. The authentic core should match.
Shia practice. Shia scholars also affirm that the evil eye is real and commonly recommend Ayat al-Kursi, Al-Falaq, An-Nas and Al-Ikhlas, along with salawat on Muhammad and his family. For the exact Nazre Bad Ki Dua Shia wording and its chain of narration, ask your own marja’ or a trusted scholar rather than a random forward.

7 Common Mistakes With Nazre Bad Ki Dua
- Reciting without understanding. The meaning is the point. Read the English or Hindi line once every day.
- Treating it like a charm. Hanging verses or beads and believing the object protects is a different thing from reciting and trusting Allah.
- Skipping the doctor. Dua is not a replacement for medicine.
- Using the wrong first word. Say U’eedhuka, not U’eedhukuma, for one child.
- Blaming nazar for everything. Not every bad day is an evil eye. Stay balanced.
- Relying on cultural symbols. A black dot or a blue bead has no basis in the Sunnah. Use the words the Prophet ﷺ taught.
- Reciting only after something goes wrong. The Prophet ﷺ made this a routine, so make it one.
Conclusion: Keep Nazre Bad Ki Dua Simple and Steady
Nazre Bad Ki Dua is not complicated. One authentic line from Sahih Bukhari, three short surahs, a blessing on your lips when you admire something, and a doctor on speed dial. Learn the Arabic, understand the meaning, and make it part of your morning and evening. In 2026, with so much noise online, the best protection is still the simplest one the Prophet ﷺ taught.
Key Takeaways
- Nazre Bad Ki Dua comes from Sahih Bukhari, hadith 3371.
- Change the first word to match the person: U’eedhuka (one), U’eedhukuma (two), U’eedhukum (group).
- Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas three times each, morning and evening, are a core daily protection.
- Say “Ma sha Allah” and “Barakallah” when you admire anything.
- Dua works alongside medicine, never instead of it.
- Avoid charms, beads and unverified PDFs.
