About the Book

In a world where the evil eye is often dismissed as mere superstition, young Jordanian Muslim women reveal a different story: ""The evil eye is real, and we were raised with it."" Amid the competitive landscape of university life, envy among friends and family can manifest in dangerous ways, creating a palpable fear of harm through the gaze of the envious. These women turn to the texts of the Qur'an for protection yet also embrace traditional folk practices and incantations. Through captivating narratives and original field research, this book delves into the intricate dynamics of envy and the pervasive belief in the evil eye. It offers a profound exploration of how these women confront their fears and challenges, inviting readers into a conversation about divine generosity and protection. Join the author on a journey to discover a biblical truth that offers freedom: a God who blesses abundantly and shields against the harm of envy. Together, model a spirit of generosity and prayer, illuminating the path to freedom in Christ's name.

Review :
"Safia Yun has written an essential work on an understudied area of Islamic folk belief: the evil eye. This work combines historical background with fascinating interviews with contemporary Jordanian Muslim women. I highly recommend this work to anyone doing ministry among Muslims." --R. Don Deal, director of classical apologetics, Norman Geisler International Ministries "The custom related to the Evil Eye has long been a deeply rooted religious practice in the Muslim world, especially in the lives of Muslim women. This work is based on in-depth interviews with young women in Jordan, including university students, and provides a detailed analysis of how this custom has impacted their lives, particularly their social relationships with acquaintances. Such lived experiences solidify the credibility of the study. It does not merely emphasize the negative worldview of this custom but also proposes a missionary approach to prevent its resulting negative effects through the practice of giving mutual compliments. This helps remind individuals of God's grace and blessings towards each other rather than fostering mutual rejection and hatred. It is a meaningful work that suggests transforming curses into expressions of gratitude for blessings, offering a beautiful missionary application." --Ah Young Kim, professor, Torch Trinity Graduate University, Seoul "As a colleague of Safia Yun for several years in India, I learned with great interest of her new work, Fear of the Evil Eye. It is based on her field research and life among Jordanian Muslim women as well as connections between the Evil Eye and envy. The sensitivity and attention to context I saw in Yun's work in India is also evidenced here. It is an important resource for ministry not only in the Middle East but beyond." --Steve Cochrane, Youth With a Mission, University of the Nations "An insightful exploration of the evil eye and a rich engagement with its contemporary practice among young Muslim women in Jordan! Far from being just a folkloric symbol, the belief in the evil eye is deeply ingrained in the lives of people, reflecting the spiritual and emotional needs of individuals and societies. This research offers readers a deeper understanding of modern folk practices and provides insights on how to engage with people through God's abundant blessings." --Sam Kim, assistant professor of intercultural studies, School of Christian Studies, Asbury University
