Fear of the Evil Eye
A Missional Approach Toward the Envious Gaze Among Young Jordanian Muslim Women
About this 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.
