Protection from nazar

Q: We are a close family of 4. Our 2 grown up sons still live at home. We have just had a terrible start to 2017 with car acccidents one after the other. People are always paying me compliments about me sons and their good manners and also their looks are Marsha Allah (forgive me if I sound vain). We hear people talk about nazar. I do not want to believe it as I make my daily salaah and read my 4 Quls and make lots dua for my sons which Alhamdulillallah, Allah has accepted as they were never hurt in the accidents but the cars were written off or damaged badly. If it is nazar, like everyone says, what must I do?

A: Don't let the comments of people turn your heart away from Allah Ta'ala. Continue to turn to Him and beg of His grace. Recite the following Duaa in the mornings and evenings and whenever people praise your children then you should thank Allah Ta'ala and recite 'Masha Allah Laa Quwwata illa Billah':

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِى دِينِى وَدُنْيَاىَ وَأَهْلِى وَمَالِى

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
