Question
I get very frightened when I face some situations in a way that saps my will to resume my studies. Could this be the harmful effect of an evil eye? I suffer from headaches when I read the Quran. What is the ideal solution to this problem? I have heard that there are some people whom Allaah The Almighty has endowed with special power to solve such problems. Is this true? Where can I find them
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
Perhaps what you feel is some harm caused by an evil eye, as you said, or it may be a disorder mixed with some obsessive doubts. In either case, the ideal solution for this problem is to constantly obey Allaah The Almighty, avoid disobeying Him, remember Him The Almighty often, recite the Quran regularly, observe the 'Athkaar (remembrance) of the morning and the evening, supplicate Allaah The Almighty and seek only His Help at all times. Such actions guarantee that your current and future problems will be solved without the help of any person – Allaah willing.
This matter is easy for the person for whom Allaah The Almighty has made it easy. Thus, never hesitate to seek help from Allaah The Almighty and you will achieve positive results – Allaah willing.
Nevertheless, there is no harm in performing the Shar‘i Ruqyah (Ruqyah legislated by Islamic law) with some chapters or verses of the Quran or the Athkaar authentically narrated from the Prophet 
such as Soorat Al-Faatihah and Al-Mu‘awithataan. You may allow others to do it for you using the same verses, chapters or supplications or others. They just have to be from the Quran or authentic Prophetic tradition. Finally, you are advised to read some books that compile the necessary 'Athkaar, and daily verses that are necessary for every Muslim.
Allaah Knows best.
