Belief in the evil eye features in Islamic mythology; it is not a part of Islamic doctrine, however, and is more a feature of folk religion.
In Hebrew and Arabic it is called עין הרע ayin ha'ra عين حارة (the evil eye, with ha'ra carrying the connotation of that which is unlawful or wicked); in Yiddish this is variously spelled ayin horoh, ayin hora, or ayen hara.
In some forms, it is the belief that some people can bestow a curse on victims by the malevolent gaze of their magical eye.
