Harming someone else – because of jealousy, vengeance or pride, – will not
benefit you or bring you happiness and satisfaction at all. You can be
jealous over someone’s success, wealth, beauty, intellect, car, mansion,
husband, or job, but by harming them for something that is purely their
destiny, won’t change anything, or transfer their success to you. You will
not become more popular or wealthy by harming those whom you envy. In fact,
it will have the reverse effect: You will become more depressed and
desperate. So, the joke is always on the one who harms the other, and not
on the harmed.
In reality, by harming the next person, you are doing him a huge favour!
You can scratch his car, send a Jinn to possess him, or bring down his
reputation by gossiping about him – all this will eventually work in his
favour. If you scratch his car, he will have to repair it. Since he uses
his car to travel to the Masjid or to his workplace and back; by repairing
it, he will be incurring extra expenses in fulfilling his duties to the
Almighty and to his family. He will be rewarded for it, but you will be
punished for it in both the worlds. Sending a Jinn to possess him is a huge
trial, but affected people normally recite Qur’an the entire day, drink
gallons of Zam Zam water and stay in a state of purity all the time. This
is how every Muslim should behave in any case, whether he is affected or
not. Trials normally make a person, not break them. And if you gossip about
others, you are simply transferring all your good deeds to them. So, go on,
harm the next person. You are only harming yourself.
Why use the Jinn?
I am not advocating that everyone who has a slight headache or who had a
misunderstanding with their wife should start suspecting others of working
Jadoo on them; what I’m saying is that the practice of visiting
witch-doctors or sangomas to do people’s dirty work, is becoming
increasingly common. An affected person usually does not dream, feels
heaviness in the chest and head, may have some type of marks on his body,
and may look at his partner with resentment. So, first seek medical help
for any condition before visiting a genuine Aamil. Nowadays, instead of
wishing a person well over his happiness or good fortune, and praying that
the Almighty increase him in the bounties he currently enjoys, we become
envious of the person and wish the opposite for him. As this jealousy turns
to rage, and then to malice, many think that visiting a witch-doctor or a
sangoma to harm or paralyze the person in question will bring them
satisfaction: “Why is she so happy in her marriage, when I landed up with a
loser. Both of us must suffer together!”
Well, this is the biggest mistake you will ever make in your life – a
mistake which is near impossible to reverse. A person confessed: “O my!
She looked so dazzling on her engagement day that I decided on her wedding
day, I’ll get my neatly-dressed witch-doctor to either affect her through
her sight or by placing something in her food. We managed to sprinkle some
“invisible powder” in her food, and when I heard that she suffered from a
tummy-ache for her entire honeymoon, I was overjoyed. As time went on, she
was cured, but my health and mental well-being deteriorated and today I
continue to suffer diseases I didn’t suffer before this evil deed of mine.
Today, I’m suffering more than her and I’ve got no way out of it.”
Indeed, visiting a witch-doctor is dangerous in three ways for you –
financially, spiritually, and physically. There is no winner at all in this
madness. Financially, you will be charged up to R10 000-00 a visit, and you
will be given false promises and half truths. Then just as your problem is
on the verge of being sorted out, a “complication” will arise, and you will
be another R10 000- poorer. This “complication” will either be your own
health, the opposite party trying to take revenge on you, or the Jinn not
satisfied with his job. People have lost up to R500 000- in this way before
they smelt the rat! You may think that you are securing the services of the
Jinn to harm another person; yes, this may be true, but you are also being
hypnotized in the process to come back again and again until either you are
financially drained or you die. Visiting a witch-doctor is like paying
protection-fees to the mafia. The day you decide to back out, the Jinn
which you sent to possess someone else will be sent to possess you, or you
will be killed.
After losing your wallet, you will lose your heart too, along with the
faith (Iman) within it. In an Islamic country, a witch-doctor and his
customer is killed on the spot as black-magic is nothing but clear *kufr*
(disbelief). In is narrated in Muwatta Imam Malik that Sayyidah Hafsah,
our Mother and beloved wife of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) had
a slave of hers killed on the spot when she was found guilty of bewitching
her, even though she had a contract of freedom with her. The same goes for
her customers.
In order to become a medical doctor, you study for seven years at a medical
university, but to study the dark sciences, you firstly need to empty your
heart of faith in the Almighty, and vow to become enemies with God and all
religions. Then you need to soak your soul with the devilish traits of
extreme hatred, jealousy, evil, greed, and malice. Witch-doctors need to
sell their soul, in this world, and the next, to the devil in order to be
able to harness the awesome power of the evil Jinn. In order to gain their
approval, they need to perform various devilish rituals like drinking
menstrual blood, fornicating with the dead, mocking at religion, killing
pigs and anointing themselves with its blood, and defecating on the Qur’an.
Remember, a witch-doctor is for now and forever; his customer too, is for
now, and forever. If a witch-doctor wants to repent from this open *kufr*
(disbelief) and evil, and if his customer wants to also reform himself, the
jinn will not be pleased at this and they may pay for it with their lives.
Then too, paying with their life to die on imaan (faith) is a worthy
price to pay.
By visiting a witch-doctor, you are preferring the power of the Jinn – an
inferior species of creation, – over the power of the Almighty, and
spreading evil instead of good. You are joining in rebellion with Satan
against God to create chaos on earth. Satan becomes your new savior and
benefactor, and once you become his follower, he wants you as his company
in hellfire too, for ever and ever. As you are being consumed by hatred and
jealousy for someone else, you are being by the devil himself. And all the
while you thought you were harming someone else!
After your wallet and heart have been emptied of all goodness, your victim
will be trying to cure himself with the power of the Almighty, but your
health and mental state will take a nosedive. Anxious to see the results of
your black-magic, you will stalk your victim – usually a relative, friend
or a family member – to see how devastated he is. Can he still walk? Did
his wife elope with someone else? Did he meet up in an accident? Is she
pregnant? Who is torturing who here, the perpetrator or the victim? You
will suffer from schizophrenia, dementia and insomnia long after your
victim has been cured. Your victim’s condition will elevate him and he may
even overpower his black-magic, but your actions will debase you forever.
It’s just not worth it.
The Afflicted Person and the Spell
Don’t ever underestimate the power of witchcraft, but at the same time, do
not fear it or let it overwhelm you. The power of God is above all power.
Usually, a witchdoctor will ask for the name of the victim and his mother’s
name only, as all his victims are assumed to be fatherless and
illegitimate. After putting the two names together, he will decide where to
place the spell: in water, under the earth, or on a tree. If the spell is
temporary, it is written on items such as paper and leaves that will
decompose in time, but more durable spells are carved in stone and other
durable items. Black magic can be made via your picture, your voice, merely
seeing a person, your scent or through any body-parts like one’s nails and
hair. Once the master Jinn agrees to harm a person, he then sends a
slave-jinn to the person in order to possess him.
Many a time, the afflicted person comes to know who afflicted him, but it’s
best to continue treating him with kindness. This is like rubbing salt into
the wound. The best way to overcome one’s condition is to recite all the
recommended prayers from the Qur’an and Sunnah, eat seven ‘ajwah dates
daily, drink lots of Zam Zam, stay in a condition of purity all the time
and avoid places of sin. If done effectively, the slave-jinn will become
like a fish out of water, and you will become a lion in its den. The jinn
will either die or become so weak that he will become ineffective – unable
to communicate or fulfill the commands of the master-jinn, or the
master-jinn himself will not be inclined to renew the spell if it
disintegrates. Remember, some become physically sick, and some spiritually,
but both conditions and cures are in the control of the Almighty.
To all those who are affected, be strong as this is your means of becoming
close to the Almighty. Persevere in your treatment. To all those jealous
ones, save your souls and repent and reverse what you did whilst you have
life in you. Today you may be laughing at someone, but tomorrow they will
be laughing at you in hellfire. The doors of forgiveness are still open.
It’s never too late to repent.
