what are you making me blush for?

Men being envious? Well not in the looks department that’s for sure. If a man is going to be jealous and give evil eye, it’s going to be for the signs of success, power and such in another man.

So yeah there is a preventative measure for the individual, and that’s called giving your success (wealth) to the women (quran 4:34), and if you don’t have any woman, get one (quran 4:3).
That way, a man might have a lesser likelihood of looking successful.

There’s another point about decreasing the love/desire of worldly things (quran 3:14), and that’s the love of God (quran 2:165).

Your post is fantastic – a story in itself, I learned much. Perhaps you can also provide new insight?

Why are men excluded from the preventative cover-up concept? Would they not also be incited to envy one another’s looks, possessions (watches, clothes)?

I also buy into prevention, but in terms of modest dress, am puzzled why it isn’t applied/adopted by all regardless of gender. Thanks again for the great info share!

My God I loved your mom (and dad). Isn;t it a riot that she taught Nanny and Margie to be proper Italian wives?

Next time I’m heading back to Grove Ave I’ll give you a shout, you can teach me the magic… then we’ll go ring Mrs. Habernack’s doorbell and run and hide in her bushes; or see if any of the Bitondos or Shelleys want to come out and play slap; we can tease Sophie Ruskewitz; or just go up to County Discount to buy new Spaldines.

Whatever we do – we have to avoid Uncle Lou and Bob’s homemade wine. Your message made my day!

For at least the Muslim and the Christian, and the Torah following Hebrew who does not adhere to kabbalah, they will not have any desire to submit themselves to the use of symbology. Simply because they have come to learn that it is of black magic. And they do not want the help of spirits/jinns, as they do not want to declare worship to those jinns. And as well as harboring jinns in their local space.

Personally as for the evil eye symbol, I believe it’s a declaration of being under ownership or allegiance to the anti-christ.

As for what I know of when it comes to removing evil eye. Let me give an example… and obvious one to that. A woman is very very pretty, other women give her the eye. An eye of either jealousy or what not.

Another example, a woman is dressed up in a way another woman doesn’t like. An eye of hatred and elitism develops against that first person.

In occult method, to push away any evil spirits than coming on to you, you take on symbology. In religious method, you and the other person are advised to reduce the thing making others feel the need to give out evil emotions.

One such religious example I know of:
Quote
(On that hijab verse)The reason for the revelation of this Ayah was mentioned by Muqatil bin Hayyan, when he said:

“We heard — and Allah knows best — that Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari narrated that Asma’ bint Murshidah was in a house of hers in Bani Harithah, and the women started coming in to her without lower garments so that the anklets on their feet could be seen, along with their chests and forelocks. Asma’ said: `How ugly this is!’ Then Allah revealed: وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ (And tell the believing women to lower their gaze…).”
unquote.

In one way, the spirits or forces are removed. In the other way, the prevention of pollution is push forth.

I personally believe prevention is better than clean up, it’s a lot less messier. Just a little bit more work than TV dinners (microwaves vs eco-solution). And to me, an evil eye symbol equivalent to commercial TV dinners.

Jewish tradition has a problem with false idols of any kind, but any religious Jews I know do not have a problem wearing the evil eye.
