mustanamalik,
If all that you said is true, Im truely saddened to know whatever you had to go through. It’s really sad and may God protect you and all the people from any kind of evil.
Mirch,
With regards to the part of your post which is highlitened, no doubt believing any power other than Allah can cause you good or bad things is ‘shirk’. With that in mind, what do you have to say about the following:
"Muslim, Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The evil eye is real and if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye. When you are asked to take a bath (to provide a cure) from the influence of the evil eye, you should take a bath.” This was classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi, and also by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1251. "
The above para taken from the following link:
It is not about black magic but since muslims agree that no power is greater than Allah to cause humans any good or bad, then why is evil eye (of humans or jins) given the status of divine decree by hadees?? Does that mean these hadees are not authenticated? Because if such is the case then just like this one, there must be more hadees in the same hadees books (Muslim, Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi) which actually advocate practices closer to shirk or other bad deeds which, perhaps, muslims should not practice as per the teachings of Quran.
