HQ202253. ا شاء الله لا قوة الا بالله (Maa shaa’ Allaah laa quwwata illaa billaah

Wording:  ما شاء الله لا قوة الا بالله 

Seeking protection from the evil-eye by saying 

ما شاء الله لا قوة الا بالله (Maa shaa’ Allaah laa quwwata illaa billaah – Whatever Allaah Wills! There is no power but with Allaah).

A longer version is لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّٰهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ (lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata ʾillā bi-llāhi l-ʿaliyyi l-ʿaẓīmⁱ), meaning "There is no power nor strength except by Allah the Lofty, the Great".

It is spread (and has become common) among the people of today that whenever one sees in his brother that which amazes him and he wants to prevent from giving him the evil-eye, he would say: “Maa shaa’ Allaah tabaarak Allaah” or he would “Maa shaa’ Allaah laa quwwata illaa billaah”, thinking that this is the Dhikr (remembrance) which is to be said at the times of amazement to push-away (prevent) the evil-eye from his brother.
