Once, someone said to Hazratjee Moulana Maseehullah Khan Saaheb (rahmatullahi \u2018alaih) that a woman was badly affected by sihr (black magic). Hazrat replied: \u201cI am not an \u2018aamil but I will make du\u2018aa that Allah Ta\u2018ala relieve her of whatever sickness she may have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thereafter he advised them as follows: \u201cClear your mind of any thoughts of jaadoo (black magic). Otherwise no matter how much of treatment you may do, it will all be insufficient. Nowadays there are signs of this sickness but, more so, it is in people\u2019s minds. Part of it is related to this sickness but most of it is just in the mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMany people have also started doing this ta\u2019weez work. They then stir up people by saying, \u2018You have jaadoo and you are possessed by a jinn, etc.\u2019 Some people even end up going to Hindus for treatment. The biggest weakness within us is weakness in our yaqeen (conviction).\u201d (Hazrat Moulana Maseehullah Khan Saaheb [rahmatullahi \u2018alaih] \u2013 A Brief Biography, pg. 213<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lessons-from-the-lives-of-the-pious"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12396"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12396\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21329,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12396\/revisions\/21329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhaadi.org.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
