Re: Nazar?
why is it not shirk when you go to a person and ask him to use the same means/methods that were used by someone that meant you harm? maybe I don’t know enough…but knowledge is knowledge…it’s how you use it that makes it good or bad.
my understanding is that the Quran has acknolwedged the existence of this “knowledge” or “ilm” if you will, and has forbidden us from it hence my position that I will not seek remedy from the same.
the reason why I have elevated it to the level of shirk is the implication that mere prayer and supplication to Allah is not enough to remove the “jadoo” and that you must seek the remedy from a “buzurg” or “maulana”…this reasoning, to me, is preposterous.
surely in the grand scheme of things and the heirarchy or Islam, the Almighty supersedes all prophets, alims, buzurgs and maulanas.
surely Allah is capable of doing all that those beneath him in the org chart can do…
the argument about going to a doctor is valid but only at the lowest level of intellect…no offense meant to AQ.
the knowledge that is being used in the medical field is meant generally for goodness…knowledge of jadoo is not meant for goodness…
agreed.
so why even chance a failure?
why not avoid any and all avenue of potential risk?
I would never want to stand before Him and say, “Oh Allah, I succumbed to the belief that a person could give me relief from a pain that came from jadoo. I strayed from the path that led to You. I failed the test that you put me through! Forgive me now and let me enter paradise!”
you are welcome to your opinion…
are you suggesting that Allah cannot or will not do this?
one could argue that using jadoo for a remedy is, in fact, using it for goodness…but why even go there when you can appeal directly to a greater power?
why go to a dealer when the wholesaler is open for direct business? 
let me reiterate… I mean no offense…only Allah can know the intentions and characters of people…I am no one to judge…
As I said before, I am glad that you are better.
