Gina I respect what you have said and pretty much Mr. Ambassador sums up what I have said earlier but would just like to add a few points.
As I said earlier black magic very much exists, and there certainly are "some" people who have geniounly been effected by it. However the cure, as Mr. Ambassador said lies in the Quran.
If you have the motivation, the courage, the belive in Allah(SWT) and fear ONLY HIM, not the magic, you will be cured God Willing.
Most of this is psychological. It effects only those of the weeker mental state and of weak iman. You have to consider alot of factors in that persons life. I dont consider most of the successfull stories of those who found some "evidence" and went to alim and he sorted them out in a jiffy. No. Because if you really ask people around, then you will find out that 7 out of 10 did not work. And the others that did, like marriage working could be a coincidence as well.
Doctors play the same trick with some patients who are mentaly ill but belive they will be cured only by medicine. They fake it. The medicine only is only vitamins, but the patient is told that its the pain killer or something else that appeals to the patient. They start to belive and they are cured. Later they are told what was really given.
Unfortunatly, most of the pakistanis are illitrate, and even the litrate ones are purhay likhay jahil. Our faith in Allah(SWT) is weak, but strong towards black magic. When we go to an Alim we trust him completly, and belive in him rather then the self.
This is similar to hypnosis. I cant be hypnotized because my mind does not allow to be over run by some other being. But more then half the population of pakistan will easily be. And is already. I think karachi residents are the proof of that. Where Altaf hussain is the person hypnotyzing karachi residents.
The point is: we have weak minds. There is a reason why this does not happen in the western side because they use their intellect more then we do, even if there faith is not in God, but they think logically. We belive in fairy tales and give in so easily.
My friends have blamed theire relatives due to black magic and that destroyed their credibility in their hearts. All based on assumptions. One thing led to another a relationship destroyed. I ask him how he can be so certain, he says he asked many alims and they all said the same. The details on black magic on him sounds very much like a genuine case but I could always give a logical answer but he could not understand because he did not have the power to comprehend. Why? Because his mind was filled with black magic.
Remeber. Quran is the cure. NOT some alim. Prayers are the cure, NOT magic "khul ja sim sim". Stay positive, understand and ACCEPT the bad events and have faith.
