Re: Black magic anyone???
Jesus Christ. If we were to really study and learn what the Prophet (SAW) went through, his level of poverty, the poverty and torture his people faced, then one would say that their entire population was under heavy evil jadu from day one until the present time and day.
Crap happens. What makes someone successful? I used to know this and somehow along the way, I forgot.
Do not let go of your faith. Your faith in God, your prayers, your passion for your deen (without violence) is what will GROUND you.
Accept that bad will happen to you, and that it's in your power to make the best of it.
Bad things happen. In any economy, some businesses fly, some do not. It's not JADOO. It's the natural way of things. And in the destruction, you have to find a way to reinvent yourself and work hard and try again.
The minute we stop thinking of material gains as the way God rewards us, then we will be free. You think if you've been good, God just will give you a fancy house, car and nice bank balance?
No, it doesn't work like that. Some people are blessed with success, and it's a true blessing, I don't discount that. But some people are not, and it's not a punishment or form of jadoo, it's just a test on you - a test on your iman, that can you say "thank-you" to God even when you're being destroyed in this world?
And for some, their success is nothing more than a heavy bell around their necks tying them down. They may be rich, but maybe not in the hereafter.
So, stop seeing wealth and comfort as a sign that you're good with God, and that you're free of any jadoo, or nazar.
My family has done the same thing - go to these useless "peers". It started with some of my distant relatives, and this frikkin cancer has now spread to my dad too. They think they can't make a move in their lives without talking to these "religious" folks. True religious people, at best, may do an ishtikhara for you if you don't know how to do it, to help guide a decision. They may give you ayats to read, and may direct you to a surah that may help you. Key is you gotta read the meaning. When they talk about reading Manzil or reading Surah Baqra or Surah Rehman, READ the actual translation, then you'll understand why these are the go-to verses for this sort of thing.
Anything other than that, and guaranteed the "peer" is using jadoo himself to get info on the jadoo done on you, to get info on that jadoogar, to fight the jadoo with their own form of jadoo, and this is manifest in the culture of taweez's. These are talisman, actually. No place for this in Islam, otherwise, I'm sure the Quran would have mentioned it, and also taught you how to make them and use them, which it doesn't. Hence, it's not in the realm of what you need to use and do. So avoid these guys, EVEN IF THEY DON'T CHARGE.
I warn you. There is a man who our family has recently over the past years been going to, and he doesn't charge, but he gives everyone these taweez, and in the 5-7 years this nonsense has been going on, NOTHING HAS GOTTEN BETTER. My relatives in Pakistan are in sheer depression. And instead of putting in the extra effort to work and work hard, what they're doing is wasting their time being depressed about how people are trying to do jadoo on them.
