The envier is the en*my of blessings, and this evil stems from the heart and nature of the envier. It is not something that he has acquired from elsewhere; Rather it is because his nafs is evil, in contrast to witchcraft, which happens by acquiring certain knowledge and seeking help from devilish spirits." (Badaaโiโ al-Fawaaโid 2/458).

1. Seeking refuge with Allah, may He be exalted, from his evil.
2. Fearing Allah and adhering to His commands and prohibitions. For whoever fears Allah, Allah will take care of him and will not let others harm him.
3. Showing patience towards his enemy and not fighting him, complaining about him or thinking of harming him at all. There is no better victory against an envier an enemy than showing patience in putting up with him and putting oneโs trust in Allah.
4. Putting oneโs trust in Allah: whoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him. Putting oneโs trust in Allah is the strongest means by which a person may ward off what he cannot bear of the harm, transgression and enmity of other people. It is one of the strongest means of achieving that.
5. Not being distracted by the envier or thinking of him, so that you do not pay any attention to him or fear him, and your heart is not filled with thoughts of him. This is one of the most beneficial remedies and most effective means of warding off his evil.
6. Turning to Allah with sincerity.
7. Turning to Allah in repentance from sins because of which Allah allowed the individualโs enemies to harm him.
8. Giving charity and doing acts of kindness as much as you can, for that will have an amazing effect in warding off calamity, the evil eye and the evil of the envier.
9. This is the most difficult and hardest of means for the individual, and no one is able to do it except one whom Allah blesses greatly. It is extinguishing the fire of the envier, hater and one who causes harm by showing kindness to him. The greater the harm and evil, the more kindness you should show to him, show sincerity towards him and feel compassion for him.
10. The main thing, to which all the others are connected, is thinking of Allahโs oneness and attributing means and causes to the One Who is the Creator of the causes, namely the Almighty, the Most Wise, and realizing that these means and measures are like the movements of the wind: they are in the Hand of the One Who moves them, Who created them, and nothing can cause harm or bring benefit except by His leave."(Badaaโiโ al-Fawaaโid 2/463-469).
