Re: jaadoo aur its effect
I haven't read all the responses, and to some extent I agree that most people blame Jadoo for simple normal misfortunes in life. Having misfortune is normal and it is human. No one is perfect, no one is successful 100% of the time, and even if there is a PATTERN of misfortune, chances are it is your fault. Maybe you're making some bad choices in life.
However.
We do have an aunt in our family that has picked certain key members in my family to do jadoo on. I normally would not believe it, and didn't until I saw with my own eyes and smelled with my own nose the kind of junk she was cooking in her kitchen. She had weird ingredients and she has been for sure followed by family members to a hindu jadoo-gar in Karachi where she goes and gets taweez's and learns her recipes for disaster.
How did we know. For a period of a year, a family member who is normally fine and successful, just had a number of endless problems. It was such a bad year for him. Likewise, many of us, myself included, suffered from a lot of weird problems that year. Like for ex. I was a straight A student, and that year I kept failing exams left and right which were EASY. It just wasn't making sense, and I just figured I was finally burned out and I just needed a break from school.
Turned out when we went to some people in the community who can do ishtikharas, that this lady was cooking up recipes against us.
Now, how effective it really is, who knows, and for many years we battled with the sheer psychology of it. Because the minute you find out someone is really doing jadoo on you, you begin to blame EVERY problem for them including problems they're not even causing. It causes you to enter a stage of paranoia. So, now we've adjusted I think. We've all come to accept she will continue casting spells, and we just hold tight to our prayers. Since we've been praying, thankfully, her jadoo is not having the same type of effect.
In one situation, she supposedly cast a REALLY NASTY spell which was meant to cause a death, which backfired because of all our prayers. She ended up in near respiratory failure from a really bad pneumonia. Her husband who aides her in these things, has now lost his mind and is now a psychiatric patient.
Not sure even know how true all this is, but I did see weird ingredients in her kitchen, smelled the smell of nasty potions, and can testify that her bahu, who was a very good childhood friend of mine has caught her cooking up this stuff and has tried to protest it to no avail. She gets beaten and threatened if she opens her mouth about it. However she has disclosed to some of us what she's seen.
Why is she doing this? Good question. She lives in our family home in a portion of the house, and we are in the process of selling, but are unable to find buyers. If sold, we have promised her family half of the profit, although they never invested in the property, never paid rent on it either....so they don't deserve it. But out of our goodness, they will still get half. However the half they will get will barely be enough to purchase a decent apartment in Karachi. They have 2 sons who are totally beqaar and don't generate enough income, and one of the sons is bullying his parents about living arrangements as well and refuses to contribute any money to a new apartment (doesn't have much to contribute anyway).
Whole thing is a mess, but yes, this is a real situation we are going through. So she keeps us all in jadoo, we think, so we don't sell the property. Eventually, she would like a full take over of the house. Our family there has bought another property, but refuses to move out, because the aalims we go to have told us that she WILL move into the entire house and then there will be no way to remove her family from the house. They already tell everyone they own the entire building (which was incidentally, how my friend was duped into marrying their son - her family believed the owned the property and family business, while actually our family owns it all, but we just keep them because we know they dont have anywhere to go).
Great to have freeloaders in the family.
