I Envy Thee

I've always seen people who envy others for something that they don't have, or hearing about the girl who tripped and broke her leg during a wedding party because she got the "evil eye" from someone.
One person told me that she throws salt around her to protect herself from people's envy. I would never believe that. She also mentioned some other kind of food or seeds which I never heard about. I don't believe that food or other material stuff would protect someone from an evil eye.
I remember my last year in university, when three incidents happened in less than a week. I was helping someone with a photography project and stood on a thin wooden box, I fell off it and hit my face hardly on a hard surface. Later that week I was driving my car on my way to Dubai and a huge six wheeler collapsed with my tiny car. A day after that, I had a flu and got a fever too. people who knew me were telling me all sorts of things about evil eye. But I believe in fate. If it's meant to be, it would happen eventually.
I know that the Qura'an is the main protector from all the envious eyes. That's one thing I truly believe in, but throwing salt and pepper and other food seasonings...I don't think I want to be a steak.

LooooooooooooooooooL. A steak mara wa7da:P. Seriously, I couldn't agree more! Ultimately, the only protector is Allah and to protect your self recite "almu3awithat and thiker Allah." Every thing else is B.S.! (Excuse my french :P). I had the one that tells me to sacrifice a roaster in front of the car's tire and spill some salt as well. In the end, the person who comes up with such ideas was probably starving when he/she invented such non-sense! What we ought to do McReemy is to open a Deli called "evil eye 5" and make meals for every single envious incident :P. Are you in? hehehe
