Sihr Treatment

If someone is under black magic effects, and he wants to reverse the spell so that it affects the person who has cast it on him, so he can do this with the help of the Quraan verses.

One important thing is that, if someone has got a talisman from the magician for this spell, then you can use the reversal spell, otherwise, if the magician himself has done this spell on you then dont do this reversal spell. because you cannot defeat the magician yourself. If you try it and you dont know much about it, then you will suffer at the hands of the magician. Because the magician has jinnat and they help him.

If you reverse the spell on the magician then he will order the jinnat to again reverse the spell on you. Because he will know what you are doing. 

The magician has the help of the king of jinnat and a lot of other jinnat who help him and are at his service. These jinnat can reverse any spell 24 hours all the time. Even if you bring a lot of other people and try to reverse the spell, you wont be able to harm the magician because he has 1000s of jinnat to help him, and they also have an alim jin who teaches them all kinds of magical spells. He has solutions to all kinds of reversal spells. That’s why be cautious while doing this spell.

If its some simple magician, and he does not have any jinn then you can do this reversal spell yourself. But if he has arvah and jinnat then it is difficult and risky for you, and in that case you will also lose your money. And then you will be looking for treatment everywhere. if this black magical spell was cast upon you by some woman or man through some taveez/talisman then you can try the reversal spell and keep in mind and say that if it’s through some woman or man, then cast this reversal spell, otherwise dont.

11 times durood, then Sura Abas (as much as you can recite) again durood 11 times in the end. And then say that, whoever has cast black magical spell on me, it should all go back to him/her and should all affect him/her and should stay with them.

Read these verses 11 times, after every prayer below on your hands & body. This ritual will save you from magic effects and give you protection. You may also below on water, use to drink. 

If the victim have these symptoms, see bad dreams, feel a little pain in head & whole body, anger and irritation increase, memory loosing and more interrupted sleep/insomnia then its confirm that person is under a strong kind of black magic. He have to write these verses with Mushk Wa Zafran on white or Yellow paper and tie round the nick. after some time he will feel much relax.

He also write these verses with Mushk Wa Zafran, mix in water and daily use to drink 3 times. Carry on same procedure till 21 days. During this time he will be fine day by day. Every Muslim have permission to use this method for magic cure. 

There are means of protecting oneself against the dangers of witchcraft before it happens, the most important and beneficial of which is protecting oneself by reciting the dhikrs, du’aa’s and prayers for protection that are prescribed in sharee’ah, such as reciting Aayat al-Kursiy after every obligatory prayer, after the dhikrs that are prescribed after the salaam. It may also be recited when going to sleep. Aayat al-Kurisy is the greatest verse in the Holy Qur’aan, in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning).

“Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursiy extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great”

One may also recite Qul Huwa Allaahu ahad, Qul ‘Aoodhu bi Rabb il-Falaq and Qul ‘a’oodhu bi Rabb il-naas (i.e., the last three soorahs of the Qur’aan) following every obligatory prayer, and recite these three soorahs 21 times at the beginning of the day, after Fajr prayer, and at the beginning of the night, after Maghrib.

You should also frequently recite du’aa’s seeking refuge in the “perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He has created, night and day, when stopping in any place in the city or in the desert, by air or by sea, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever makes a stop then says: ‘A’oodhu bi kalimaat Allaah il-taammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He has created),’ nothing will harm him until he moves on from that place.”

The jinn are a world of their own, different from that of the humans or the angels . They do, however, possess some characteristics in common with humans, such as the ability to think and reflect. similarly, they also have the ability to chose between the path of good and the path of evil in the same manner as humans. they, though, differ from humans in other characteristics, including one very important characteristic: their origin.

They are called jinn because they are obscured from human sight, (INNA HOO YARLA KUM HOO WA WA qabeela hOO MIN HAISOO LAA TARAO NA HUM) " Lo ! He SeeS you , he and his tribe, from whence you seem not" (al-Araaf  2 7 ).

Their Origin

Allah has informed us that the jinn have been created from fire as He Says in the Quran, (a'al ja'aanna khalaqna hoo min qablu min'naari assamoo mi)'' And the jinn did we creat aforetime of essential fire" (al-hijr 27). in Surah al-Rahman (Verse 15), 

He says, ( Wa khalaqa alja'aanna min'ma tijinn min'na rin) "And the jinn He did creat of a smokeless flame of fire". According to Ibn Abbaas, Ikrimah, mujaahid, Al-Hasan and others the meaning of  marajin-min-nar, is "the extermity of the flame,'' and in one narration it is described as the purist and best (of fire).' An-Nawawi said in this commentary to sahih muslim, "The smokeless flame of fire is that mixed with the blackness of the fire."

In a hadith recorded by Muslim on the authority of Aisha, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,

( khuliqattil mala'eekatu min noor wa khuliqal jaanu min marjin min naar wa khuliqa adaamu mimma wusifa lakum) "The angels were created from light, the jinn were created from a smokeless flame of fire and adam was created from what has been described to you [ by Allah in the Quran]."

There is no doubt that the jinn were created before mankind, as Allah says, 
"Verily we created man of potter's clay of dark mud altered. And the jinn did we created aforetime of a flameless fire" (al-Hijr 26-27). This verse clearly states that the jinn we created before mankind. some of the earlier scholars were of the opinion that they were created a thousand year before mankind, but for that statement they have no proof in ether the Quran or the sunnah.

The names for the jinn in the Arabic language

Ibn Abdul Barr said, " The jinn according to the scholars of the language, are of different types:

1. If one is mentioning the jinn purely of themselves, they are called jinni
2. If one is mentioning the jinn that live among mankind, they are called aamar whoes plural is ammar whoes plural is ammar
3.If one is mentioning the ones that antagonize the young, they are called arwaah
4.If one is mentioning the evil ones that  antagonize humans they are called shaitaan for the singular [and shayateen for plural].
5. If they cause even more harm and become strong, they are called afreet.

Types of jinn

 The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,

"There are three types of jinn: one that files through the air, one that are snakes and dogs, and one which stay in places and travel about."

There is no room for the denial of the existence of the jinn

A small number of people absolutely deny the existence of another being known as jinn. some of the polytheists cl aimed that the meaning of jinn was the souls of the planets.

some of the philosophers claim that the jinn are the evil inclinations in the souls of mankind in the same way that the angels are the inclination for good in the souls of mankind.

Some of the modern-day people allege that the jinn are the bacteria and microbes that modern science has recently discovered.

Muhammad al-Bahi, in his commentary on Surah al-jinn, says that the jinn are the angels. to him, the jinn and angels are one existence without any difference between them. His proof is that the angels also cannot be seen by mankind. Except that the includes among the jinn those who hide from the world of human beings concerning their belief or disbelief and their good or evil.

Not possessing knowledge concerning them is not a type of proof
The most that these deniers can say is that they have no knowledge concerning their existence. but not having any knowledge about them is not a proof that they do not exist.' they mind that denies everything that it does not know of certainly is blameworthy  In fact, that is a reason why Allah blames the unbelievers. Allah says in the Quran,''Say, but they denied that, the knowledge whereof they could not compass." ( yunus 39 ). 

This thought is a modern invention that no one should be obstinate enough to stick to. Is it permissible for man who has live hundreds of year to reject their possibility even if a trustworthy person informs him of it? Was our lack of hearing the sounds that go on throughout the world evidence that those sound did not exist until the radio was invented and gave us the ability to hear and confirm those sounds?

The truth of the matter

The correct position is that the jinn are a third type of being, apart from angels or humans. They are intelligent and understanding creatures; they are not philosophical accidents or germs and are not like the microorganisms. they are responsible for their actions and have been ordered by Allah to perform some deeds and to abstain from others.

1. Mutawatir [Undeniable agreement about their existence by different groups of people]

Ibn Taimiya says in majmu al- fatwa, None of the different groups of Muslims have differed about the existence of the jinn, nor in the fact that Allah sent Muhammad as a messenger to them also . The majority of the different group of the unbelievers  also confirm their existence. And the people of the book from among the jews and the christians also accept their existence in the same way as the Muslims do, even though one may find  some among them who will deny their existence, but in the same way one can find among the Muslims some who deny their existence like the jahamiyya and the mutazila.

But the majority of the sects and their leading scholars accept their existence.This is because the reports about their existence have come in a mutwaatir manner from the Prophets which necessitates automatic and certain knowledge. It is also known with certainty that they are alive, thinking and acting by choice. They have been ordered to do certain deeds and have been prohibited from certain other deeds. they are not attributes or characteristics of humans or other creatures, as some of the "atheists" claim. 

Since the matter of the jinn is something narrated in muawaatir from the Prophets, the scholars and masses know about them and no group that claims any relationship with a messenger may deny them.'

on page 13 he also wrote, All of the groups of the Muslims acknowledge the existence of the jinn, as do the majority of the people of the book (jews and christians), the polytheists among the Arabs and other from the children of ham ( the son of noah). similarly, the majority of canaanites and the Greek from the children of yaafith believe in them. Therefore, the majority of all people accept their existence.

2. Quranic and Hadith statements about them.

[There are numerous statements in the Quran and hadith that affirm the existence of the jinn.] For example, Allah says in quran,
"Say ( O Muhammad) : It is revealed unto me that a company of the jinn listened" (al-jinn 1). Allah also says,"And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of mankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn, so that they increased them in revolt" (al-jinn 6). Infact, there exist many statements about them in the Quran and hadith, and we shall mention most of them in the rest of this work, Allah willing

3. Eyewitness Accounts.

Many people of our times and of the previous times have witnessed something of the jinn, even though many who had seen them or who had heard them were not aware that they were jinn. They thought that they were ghosts, spirits, invisible men, creatures from outer space and so forth.

Many trustworthy narrators, of the present day and previously, have narrated events concerning them. the famous scholar of hadith, al-Amash said, "A jinn appeared among us. i said to him, ' what is your favourite food?' He said,  'Rice.' we brought some to him and i would see the spoon go up and down but could not see any one. I said, 'Do you also have people of desires [and innovations] among you like what we have?' He said, 'yes' i said, 'what is the situation of the Rafidha [ extremeshia] among you.' He said, ' They are the worst of us."

Ibn Kathir wrote, after recording the above story, " I presented its chain to our teacher abu al-Hajjaj al-mizi. He said, ' the chain is authentic back to al-Amash.'Then he said, 'Ibn Asaakeer recorded in the biography of al-Abbas Ibn Ahmad al-Dimishqi that he said, 'I  heard some off the jinn recite, 'The hearts are in pain until they connect with their beloved and are with Him in any place, in the West or East; They are filled with the love of Allah, and Allah is their lord, they are connected to Allah and not to anything of his creation."

I [Dr. al-Ashqar] add: many trustworthy people have told me about their speaking with the jinn and their seeing them. Allah willing, some of these events will be mentioned later in this work where we will discuss the ability of the jinn to take on different forms.

4. The source from which they were created.  

The messenger of Allah (peace be upon him ) has informed us that the angels were created from light and the jinn were crheated from fire. He made a distinction between their two sources. This refutes the claim of those who says that the jinn and the angels are nothing but one and the same being.

Donkey and Dogs see the jinn

even though we humans do not see the jinn, some animals, like dogs and donkeys, can see them. it is recorded in Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Abu Dawud with a sahih chain from Jabir that the Prophet said,

If you hear the bark of dogs or the braying of donkeys during the night, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, as they see what you do not see.'' This is not strange as many scientists have confirmed that animals are capable of many things that humans are not capable of. Bees can see ultraviolet light and can also see the sun on an overcast day. An owl can see a mouse running in a crowded corn patch on a dark night.

Satan and the jinn

satan, which Allah mentions to us many times in the Quran, is from the world of the jinn. He lived among the angels in the heavens. He entered paradise. But then he disobeyed Allah when he refused to prostrate to Adam  out of pride, arrogance and envy. Therefore Allah cast him out of from his mercy.
Satan, in the Arabic language, is a general term for any arrogant rabel. It is used, in general  for that one specific being because he was so arrogant and rebelled against his Lord. He is called taaghoot in al-Nisaa, verse 76,

"Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of taaghoot. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo, the devil's strategy is weak." Taaghoot is a word that is well-Known to many of the people of the earth, with exactly the same lettering, according to al-Aqaad in his book Iblees. He is called a taaghoot because he has transgressed the limits, rebelled against his Lord and tried to set him self up as a god to be worshipped. Satan has despaired of any chance of mercy from Allah and for that reason Allah has named him Iblees. Alabalas means he has no good in him. and ublis means despaired and lost. Many of the early scholars have mentioned that his name before he disobeyed his Lord was azaazeel. Allah knows best how correct that is.

Satan, the created

The one who studies the Quran and in the hadith knows that satan is one of Allah's creation and he has a mind, ability to understand, he moves and so forth. He is not like what some of the ignorant have claimed, "an evel spirit that takes the shape of the evil conscience animalistic part of man, who leads the person when it takes the place of the spiritual, good conscious in the heart."

His Origin

We have already stated that satan is a jinn. Some modern and past writers have disputed this point. They use as a proof the statement of Allah,
"And when we said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam  they fell prostrate, all save Iblees. He demurred through pride, and so became an unbeliever" (al-Baqara 34) . [They also quote] other similar verses in which Allah makes an exception from the angels of Iblees. and they argue that if he is being excepted from a group, it must have been that he was a member of that group as this is the customary mode of speech. 

in many books of Quran commentaries and book of history we find narrations from many scholars on this point. They mention that satan was among the angels and that he was the treasurer of paradise or of the lowest heaven. He was the most noble and honorable of the angels and so forth. Ibn katheer states in his commentary of the Quran,

These stories have been related from many of the early scholars. Most of them are from Jewish and Christian legends ( Ar., Zsraaeeliyaat) which must be investigated more closely. Allah alone knows the truth of most of these types of reports. Many of them are clearly false since they contradict the truth that we possess in our hands [that is, the Quran and the hadith of the prophet]. Whatever the Quran contains is sufficient and we need not delve in to the stories of the earlier peoples. Their reports have not been safe from changes, additions and deletions. They have fabricated many things in their reports. 

They did not have among them those trustworthy people who safeguarded their scriptures and reports from being contaminated by the extremists and others as this nation ( of Islam  has had. This nation has had scholars, experts, leaders, memorizers, preservers and pious people who recorded the hadith and scrutinized them, making clear which of them are authentic, acceptable, weak, rejected , fabricated,  false. They were familiar with who the forgers were and who were the unknown narrators  who should  not be considered fully trustworthy. All of that is due to the position of the Prophet Muhammad and the fact that he is the seal of all the Prophet and leader of mankind. Therefore forgeries and interpolations have not been able to be attributed to him and to be accepted by the scholars. concerning their proof that Allah excepted Iblees from the angels, it is not a definitely the case as Allah states that Iblees was one of the jinn. 

Allah says in the Quran, "And remember when we said unto the angels; Fall prostrate before Adam  and they fell prostrate, all save Iblees. He was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command'' (al-kahf 20) . Furthermore, it has also been confirmed from an authentic text that the jinn are not the same as the angels or as the humans. The prophet said, "The angels have been created from light, the jinn from fire and Adam was created from clay." (This was recorded in sahih muslim).

Al-Hasan al-Basri said, "Iblees was not from the angels even for the blinking of an eye." Ibn taimiya said, "Verily , satan was from the angels with respect to his appearance, but not with respect to his origin, and not with respect to him being of the same nature as them"

Was satan the origin of the jinn or was he just one of them ? We do not possess any clear text that states satan to have been the origin of all the jinn or that states that he was simply one of them. The latter is more apparent from the Quranic statement,

"Except Iblees and he was of the jinn" ( al-kahf50). Ibn Tamiya is of the opinion that satan was the origin of all the jinn in the same way that Adam is the origin of all mankind.

The food and Drink of the jinn

The jinn, and satan among them, eat and drink. in sahih al-Bukhari it is recorded on the authority of Abu huraira that the Prophet (peace be upon him) told him to get some stones in order for the prophet ( peace be upon him) to clean him self after defecation.

 The Prophet (peace be upon him) told Abu Huraira, "Do not bring me bones or dung." Abu Huraira asked the prophet (peace be upon him ) why he specifically mentioned not to bring those two items. "The Prophet ( peace be upon him ) told him, "They are food for the jinn. A delegation of Naseeb came to me, and what nice jinn they are, and asked me about their provision. I supplicated to Allah for them that they would never pass by dung or bones except that they would find meat upon them." and it is recorded in sunan at-Tirmidhi, with a sahih chain, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Do not clean your selves with dung or with bones for they are food for your brothers among the jinn" 

And in sahih Muslim it is recorded from Ibn Masud that a messenger from the jinn came to the prophet (peace be upon him) and he went with them. The Prophet (peace b upon him) read to them some Quranic verses. The prophet (peace be upon him) showed the people  the remains of their embers. They asked the prophet (peace be upon him) about their provisions and he told them, "Every bone on which the name of Allah has been mentioned will have meat on it for you. And the dung are fodder for your animals." 

Then he said, "Do not clean your selves with them as they are food for your brothers. The prophet also informed us that the devils eat with their left hands and he ordered us to be different from them in this respect. Muslim recorded in his sahih, on the authority of Ibn umar, that the Prophet ( peace be upon him) said, "If one of you eats, he should eat with his right hand. And if he drinks, he should drink with his right hand. verily, satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand." In Musnad Ahmad, the following hadith is recorded,

The World of the Jinn and Devils

"whoever eats with his left hand, satan eats with him. And whoever drinks with his left hand, satan drinks with him." The following hadith is also recorded in Musnad Ahmad, "If the man enters his house and mentions the name of Allah upon entering it and upon eating therein, satan says, " I have found loading for you." And he does not mention Allah's name upon eating his meal, satan says, 'I have found  lodging and a meal. " This hadith was also recorded by muslim. these hadith are clear texts that definitely prove that the devils eat and drink. 

In the same manner that it is prohibited for man to eat any meat that has not had the name of Allah  pronounced over it, the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) permitted the believing jinn to eat any bone that has had the name of Allah pronounced over it. they are not permitted to eat meat over which Allah's name has not been mentioned. 

All that has been eaten without having the name of Allah mentioned over it Provides food  for the non-believing jinn who are the devils. In other words, the devils seek as permissible all the food  that has not had the name of Allah mentioned over it. This is why many scholars are of the opinion that carrion that have died by themselves are food for the devils because the name of Allah was not mentioned over them. Ibn Qayyim concludes from the verse of the Quran,

"o" you who believe  strong drink and games of chance and idols and divinning arrows are only an infamy of satan's handiwork. Leave it aside in order that you might succeed' ( al- Maaidah 90), that intoxicating liquros are the beverages of the devils. And it is the drink that he orders his patrons to drink, and he participates with them in that action, in its drinking, its din and its eventual punishment.

Do the jinn marry and procreate  
   
It is apparent that the jinn do have saxual intercourse. to prove this, some of the scholars refer to the description of the spouses in paradise. Allah says concerning them, " Therein are those of modest gaze, whom neither man nor jinn will have touched before them"  (al-rahmaan 60 ). the author of Lawaami al-Anwaar al-Bahiya mentions a hadith which deserves a closer look to see at its chain to see whether it is authentic or not . the hadith states, "The jinn have children in the same way that the sons of Adam have children, but theirs are more in number.' This was related by ibn Abu Haatim and Abu al-shaikh in al-udhma on the authority of Qataada. ' Regardless of whether or not this hadith is authentic, the verse above is clear that the jinn have intercourse and that satisfies us as proof.Some people allege that the jinn do no eat, drink or have sex, but that claim is falseas we have shown in our clear proofs from the quran and the sunnah.

Some scholars are of the opinion that there are different types of jinn and some of them do eat or drink while others do not. wahb Ibn Munabih said, "The jinn are of different kinds. One is a pure jinn, and that is like a wind that does not eat or drink, nor does it die or procreate  And there is a class of them that does eat, drink, procreate and has sex and dies. And those are those female demons and desert demons and similar others." This was recorded by ibn Jarir at Tabair but what wahb said is itself in need of evidence and cannot be considered a proof on its own.

Many scholars have delved into the nature of their eating: is it similar to that of the humans, do they swallow or is it by sniffing and so forth. It is a mistake and not allowed to delve into such matters  and we are not required to know about such things. neither Allah or his Messenger ( peace be upon him) have informed us of such matters.
                   
 Marriage between the jinn and humans 

one still hears about some man marrying a jinn or some woman marrying one of the jinn or a woman being proposed to by one of the jinn. Al-Suyooti mentioned many such reports from the early generations and scholars pointing to the existence of marriages between humans and jinn.Ibn Taimiya said,

"Humans and jinn have gotten married and have had children, this has happend often and is well-known" Assuming it is possible, many of the scholars showed a dislike for such a marriage. Scholars such as al-Hasan, Qutaada, al- Hukum and Ishaaq were known to have shown a dislike for it. Imam Malik  could not find any text that would prohibit it but he himself did not like for it to occur and he gave his reasons for saying so, " I hate that it would b the case that we  would find a woman who is pregnant and we ask her, 'who is your husband ?' and she replies, 'One of the jinn.' Much evil would be the result of that.''

A group of people are of the opinion that it is not permitted to marry from the jinn. From the blessings of Allah is that he created for man kind spouses of their own spices. Allah save in the Quran. "And of his signs is this:  He created for y mates from yourselves that you might find rest in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy" (al-Room21 ). 

If it could occur, it would not be possible to have that companionship and love between the spouses due to their different spices. The goal and wisdom of marriage would not be attainable since the tranquillity and love mentioned by Allah in the Quran would be impossible In any case, although people claim that such marriages occur presently and have occurred in the past, if such does occur  it is rare and strange. 

Furthermore, the one who performs it must seek the Islamic ruling concerning it. it could be the case that the one who does it is, in a sense, overpowered and has no to escape that situation. And what points to the possibility of marriage between the two species is the mention of the female companions in paradise. Allah says about them,

"Whom neither man nor jinn have touched before them" (al-Rahmaan 56). And this verse point to both the jinn and mankind being equally suitable for them.

DO the Devil die?

There is no doubt that the jinn, and the devils among them, do die. the following Quranic verse applies to them, "Everyone that is therein will pass away; There remains but the countenance of your Lord of Might and Glory. Which is it, of  the favours of your Lord, that you deny?" (al-Rahmaan 26-28). 

In sahih al-Bukhari it is reported from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet used to say, "I seek refuge, by your Glory, the One, whom there is no other god but you, the one who does not die, and mankind do die." Concerning the length of their lives, we do not know much except what Allah has said concerning the accursed satan who has been given respite and life until the Day of judgement. 

Allah says, "He said: Reprieve me till the day when they are raised (from the dead). He said: Lo! you are of those reprieved" (Al-Asaaf 14-15). concerning other jinn or devils, we do not know their lifespans. But we do know that their lifespans are longer than that of the humans. Further evidence that they do die is the report that Khaalid ibn Waleed killed the devil of al-Uza ( atree that the arabs used to worship). And a companion killed a jinn that took the shape of a serpant, as shall be discussed later.

The residence of the jinn and their places and the times that they can b found

The jinn live upon the same earth as humans do. Most of them can be found among the ruins and dilapidated areas, as well as the places where there are many impure things, such as, bathrooms, hashish dens, the places of the camels, cemteries. For that reason, as Ibn Taimiya said, those people who are close to satan usually inhibit such areas. There are hadith that say that one should not pray in bathrooms due to the impurities present and because it is the abode of setan, or in cemeteries as the leads to polytheism and it is also a home for the devils.

Many of them are in the places which may b sources of evil, such as the marketplaces. The prophet( peace be upon him) gave the following advice to one of his companions, "If you can, do not be the first one to enter the marketplace. And do not be the last to leave it. For they are the places of satan and there in he raises his banner." This hadith was recorded in sahih Muslims.

The devils live in the same houses in which people live. One can stop them from entering or repel them from such houses by mentioning Allah upon entering those houses, by remembering or mentioning Allah (Ar., dhikr), reciting the quran, in particular, surah al-baqara and "The verse of the Throne" ( verse 255 of that surah ). 

The prophet ( peace be upon him) stated that the devils spread out and roam about increasingly when the dark first comes, and, therefore, he has advised Muslim to bring in their children during that period of time. This is stated in a hadith that was recorded by both Al-Bukhari and muslim.

 And the devils run away from the call to prayer and cannot stand listening to it. And in the month of Ramahdaan they are chained.

The places where the devil sit or gather

The devils love to sit between the shade and the sunlight. For this reason the prophet (peace be upon him) forbade the Muslims to sit in such places.This hadith was recorded in the books of sunan and other works and it is sahih.

The animals of the jinn

In the hadith of Ibn Masud, recorded in sahih muslim, the jinn asked the prophet about their provisions. He told them, " Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The time it will fall in your hand it would be covered with flesh. And the dung of ( the camels) is fodder for your animals.'' Thus the prophet ( peace be upon him) has informed us that they possess animals and that the fodder for their animals is the dung of the animals of mankind.

Specific animals that the devils accompany

The devils accompany some animals. Such as camels. The prophet (peace be upon him) said, " verily the camel has been created from devils. And behind every camel is a devil.'' For this reasons, the prophet ( peace be upon him) has prohibited us from praying in the pastures of the animals. It is recorded in Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Abu Dawud that the prophet  ( peace be upon him) said, "Do not pray in the pasture of the camels, for they are from the devils. But pray in the fields of the sheep, for they are blessed ," Ibn majah recorded in his Sunan, with a sahih chain, "Do not pray in resting places' of the camels [that they go to after being] watered, for they have been created from the devils.''

These hadith refute the claims of those who state that the reason it is forbidden to pray in the places of the camels is that their urine and dung are impure. Actually, the urine and the dung of any animals that is permissible to eat is not considered impure.

How to Make a Hisar

Islam is an Arabic word which means Surrender. This means to accept  the power of Allah, and follow his commands. Happiness in this life and success in the life after death can only be obtained by obeying Allah.

Islam is not only religion, but a complete way of life. This means that it shows us how to live all aspects of our lives in the best possible way. There are five pillars on which Islam stands. There are,

1: To firmly believe in the heart and declare

2: To pray five times a day (perform Salat)

3: To pay Zakat (obligatory charity)

4: To fast during the month of Ramadan

5: To go on Hajj (pilgrimage) to Makkah once in a lifetime if one can afford it.

A Hisar is a Protective circle a fortress where no harm or danger can come to anyone, It is very important to make a Hisar before doing any Jinn Mukhals rituals as the Hisar will protect one and enable ones ritual to be a success. No Jinns or Mukhals can ever penetrate into the Circle if they do try then they will be burned into ashes, So again when one makes a Hisar then one is protected and no harm can come to anyone inside the circle.

A Hisar (Protective Circle) should be made big enough to the size of ones height, So for example someone's height is 5'8 then the length of the Circle should be 5'8, This way of making of Hisar has been taught to be very effective and reliable this way of Hisar is better as it keeps a ''distance'' between the Jinns and you. It is our wish that people who want to do Jinn rituals should be entitled to get the full information so that the Jinn rituals are effective and successful.

The Wazeefa (recitations) below are very powerful and will protect one when one recites the Wazeefa below and makes a Circle. I have added three rituals on making a Hisar each is effective and powerful, It is up to the individual to choose which one is easier.

Ritual 1. Wazeefa for Hisar (Protective Circle)

First recite Surah Al Fatiha, Ayah Kursi and three times Surah Al Kafiroon, Surah Ikhlas, Surah Al Falaq, and Surah Al Naas, These Surah are from the Quran and can be found easily. Then when finished with the recitations then blow on ones finger or Knife, etc. and make a Circle.
Surah Al Fatiha (1st Chapter) 1x
Ayah Kursi (Verse 255 Chapter 2) 1x
Surah Al Kafiroon (Verse 109 Chapter 30) 3x
Surah Ikhlas (Verse 112 Chapter 30) 3x
Surah Al Falaq (Verse 113 Chapter 30) 3x
Surah Al Naas (Verse 114 Chapter 30) 3x

Ritual 2. Wazeefa for Hisar (Protective Circle)

This Wazeefa below is also very powerful and effective this Wazeefa below first needs to be activated by reciting the Verse for 111 times for 21 days at the start of the Islamic month, One needs to eat vegetarian food throughout the ritual and after the ritual one will be empowered with the verse to help protect one against all sorts of harm, disasters, and dangers.

Always Recite for 3 times everyday from then on, And when doing Jinn rituals then blow on finger, Knife or Chalk and make a Circle doing this will make the Ritual successful and also protect one from all jinns and dangers doing this will enable the Circle to be like a Fort and protected by Mukhals as well.

Also this Wazeefa is very powerful in protecting against Jinns and Evil Spirits this verse can also be used for exorcism as well, One will need to recite the Wazeefa 21 times on 21 black Chillies and give to the Patient to smell or eat inshalla the Evil Spirit will disappear and leave the person. The strongest to strongest Spirits will also leave by the ritual.

If for some reason the Jinn does not leave from the affected person then one should for one week use 7 Black Chillies each day and consecrate 21 times and give to the patient to eat doing this will get rid off the Evil Spirits.

To protect one house from Evil Spirits or Jinns then one should Recite on Sugar 11 times and sprinkle in ones house in each corner of the room, Inshalla this will protect the house and make the Jinn or Evil Spirits to go away.

بِحَقِ یَا جِبۡرَایلَ یَا میکَا یلَ

یَا اِسرَا فیلَ یَا عِزۡرَا یلَ وَ بِحَقِ رَحۡمَتِکَ یَا اَرۡحَمَ

الرٰ حِمِیۡنَ

BE HAQ E YA JIBRAEEL YA MIEKA'EEL YA ISRAFEEL YA IZRAEEL WA BA HAQ E RAHMATIKA YA ARHAMARA HEMEEN

This Wazeefa should be recited for 313 times before commencing a Jinn ritual after reciting it is essential to consecrate ones finger or knife and then make a circle around oneself. This Ritual is easy to do and is very effective.

Categories of Sihr

One: The sihr of the Chaldeans who used to worship planets, believing that these planets controlled the world and where behind the forces of good and evil. These people where the ones to whom the Messenger Ibrahim (as) was sent.

Two: The shir of people who have fantasies and hallucinations. Ar-Razi argued how fantasy may have an effect on people. For instance, a man may be able to walk on the trunk of tree on the ground surface, but cannot do so if he trunk is placed alongside a river or a similar place.
The common advice of doctors to a person with a nosebleed not to look at red objects and to a possessed person not to look at bright or revolving objects is simply because  man soul has been created weak and is submissive to fantasies.

Three: Seeking the assistance of worldly spirits (the Jinn) who are two types; believers and the disbelievers who are demons. Professionals and experts in this field hold that communicating with these worldly spirits is achieved by simple means such as Ruqya (reading over people or objects) using words of disbelief and polytheism, and smoke. This type of shir is known as al-azaim which is putting a spell on somebody; or the sihr of Taskhir which is using the assistance of Jinn in performing acts of sihr.

Four: This type includes the performance of magic and eye-catching trickery. It is based on tricking the eye and preoccupying it solely with the object viewed. A skilled magician can perform a trick that stuns the minds of the viewers and catches their eyes, leaving them preoccupied with gazing at an object; thereby immediately performing another trick, which appears to them other than what they are expecting, and are; thus, left dumbfounded. If the magician remains silent, dose not say things which distract the minds of the viewers, they would be aware of all the tricks he had intended to perform.

Five: Marvellous objects such as a geometrically-made artwork. For example, a knight riding on a horseback, holding a horn in his hand, appearing to below every hour. This type including the construction of a clock mechanism, should not be considered as part of sihr, because it is based on positive causes, and if man understands science better, he will be able to produce more advanced machines. These things have become known now following the advance of technology which has been the driving force behind the invention of a number of marvellous objects.

Six: The use of specific medication in food and oinments, Bear in mind that there is no gainsaying the effect of such medication, as the effect of hypnotism is clear.

Seven: The shir claims that he knows the supreme name of God and that the Jinn obey his commands in many things. If the person listener is attached ti what he believes is the truth, and so could be easily frightened. Once fear is instilled  his sensory perception is weakened, and the shir would be capable of doing whatever he wishes.

Eight: Slandering people is one of the softer forms of shir, which is common among people. According to Ibn Kathir, Ar-Razi included several forms of this type in shir as it is easily noticed, as shir in reality something subtle, with a hidden cause.

Agreement Between a Sahir and a Demon

In most cases, an agreement is set up between a sahir and a demon, requiring that the former commit certain pagan rituals, whether secretly or openly, and the latter provide the services he need someone to do the job. Usually, the agreement is set up between a sahir and one of the chiefs of the tribe of Jinn and demons. The chief instructs one of the tribes disrespectful demons to work for the sahir obeying his orders and informing him of past events, causing separation of a man from his wife, a love spell between two people, making someone incompetent, and other conditions.

The sahir send the demon on an evil mission, but if the demon disobeys his orders, he would come close to the chief of tribe through some enchantments which would carry words of praise, seeking refuge in his instead of Allah. In return, the chief would punish the demon and command him to obey the sahir orders, or instruct someone else to obey the polytheistic.

Therefore, the relationship between the sahir and the recruited Jinn is based on hatred. Usually, the Jinn would harm the sahir wife, children, or wealth  or even sahir himself, although the sahir would not be aware the cause of his suffering; such as constant pain, insomania and sudden frightful waking-up during the night. Furthermore, the suflist sorcerers usually became infertile, because the Jinn would kill the foetus inside the womb before it is formed. This is so common among the sorcerers, and some of them have even given up their profession in order to have children.

The Voodoo doll is used to represent the spirit of a specific person. You can address the doll as if you are talking to that person, requesting a change in attitude, influencing the person to act in accordance with your wishes, your desires. Voodoo Witchcraft comes from the African continent & is extremely lethal. In the last few years it has spread into other parts of the world & is being mixed with other forms of Black magic to harm and kill people.

The clothes, hair, nails and picture are used to make a doll that resembles the victim; the heart area of the doll is kept open for the final ritual. A ritual is performed and a heart is pulled out from a live animals body while it is vibrating and placed into the heart area of the doll, at this point the doll is infused with life connecting the doll with the victim with an invisible psychic chord.

Once the doll and the victim are connected, 2-3 inch needles are pushed in the doll at specific acupuncture points to break the energy system of the victim. As the pins are pushed into the doll the victim feels as if a needle is being pierced into his body. The victim can be sitting thousands of miles away and will experience the attacks instantaneously. If the victim was made to eat or drink food and/or water that consists of "Masaan" (Ash of the Dead) infused with negatively charged energy by the black magician, the effects are life threatening and gives unlimited control over the victims Mind & Body. The prime focus of the black magician is to destroy the immune system of their victim.

In case of a man: head & temple area, thumbs & big toes are targeted to break the immune system. In case of women, breasts and private parts are attacked to terrorize & harm the victim. The individual can be killed using this technique in as little as 28 days (one Moon cycle). If the individual is physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually strong it becomes very difficult for the attacker to kill the victim within a specific time period and the attacks can continue for years until the victim or the black magician dies.

The excruciatingly painful and distressing reality of black magic stares you in the face: what will you do? What are your chances as a Muslim or even as a human being to protect yourself from this heinous black craft practiced by the dwellers of Hell?

The bad news is that black magic is very much alive and kicking in our rapidly, morally degenerating society. But the good news is that you can be saved! Just like Allah [swt] has created all diseases and evil in the world, He is also the Creator of all the cures of all diseases. And this is undoubtedly the biggest diseases of all on Earth. The people who practice black magic and the people who go to such magicians, both are doing shirk according to Quran and Hadith and will be severely punished in both the worlds:

“And when there came to them a Messenger from Allah confirming what was with them, a party of those who were given the scripture threw away the book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know. And they followed what the devils gave out falsely of magic of the reign of Solomon; for Solomon did not disbelieve but the devils disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angles) taught anyone (such things) until they had said: we are only for trial, so don’t disbelieve. 

And from them (magicians) people learn that through which they would cause separation between a person and his spouse, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah’s leave; and they learn that which harms them rather than profits them. And indeed they knew that its practitioner would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their own selves if they but knew“. (QURAN 2:101-2)

This is a very extensive topic and a lot can be written about what black magic is and is not. But  I will chiefly focus on preventive measures and cure from it. We all know from Quran and Sunnah that it is a fact.

What is Black Magic? 

It is first and foremost about the control over your mind! First the black magician attacks your mind and then body. The magician takes you to the mental state of depression, anxiety, anger and pain and then a stage comes when nothing seems good in the world. Such a person loses hope in Allah [swt] and becomes an easy prey for the Satan so it is easy to inflict any bodily pain on a person. People go to the practitioners of this black art and pay them to hurt or destroy or even murder other human beings. For this evil purpose, the services of evil Jinn are used. Prophet Mohammad [sm] said that the Satan runs in the blood of humans. It is this ability of the Jinn that the magician uses to inflict pain on another person.

Symptoms

How do we know that we are under the influence of black magic? Symptoms can vary from person to person depending upon the intensity of magic and the reason [job, marriage, health, etc]  for which the magic was done. Some general symptoms are:

1. Difficulty in reading Quran and offering Salat [for those who are in a habit of doing it. Those whose lives lack these blessings are already in some sort of hell.]
2. Feeling tired without working
3. Feeling irritated and angry without any reason or on trivial matters
4. Pain in any part of body without any apparent reason or cause
5. ‘Heaviness’ on head, neck and shoulders
6. Feeling pressure on heart / increase in pulse rate / increase in blood pressure
7. Medical Reports always come clear even when you are in acute pain
8. Difficulty at work and problems in family matters
9. Erratic behavior of pet animals. For instance, birds will start screeching when they see a person who is under the influence of black magic because they can see the things that human beings cannot.
10. Feeling a presence with you in your house or sometimes even seeing unknown beings or listening to strange sounds.
11. Being attacked by ‘beings’ in the form of an animal or Jinn in your dreams and waking up feeling physically drained, hurt or ill.

These are some general indications of black magic. 

Some acute forms of magic have even resulted in cuts and bruises on body that appeared from out of nowhere to the complete possession of a person by a Jinn where he / she is unaware of his / her activities and surroundings and does things that he / she normally would not. But no matter how over-powering this black magic may look or sound, we should always remember that there is nothing more powerful in this world than our Creator, Allah and His words [Quran] can heal ANYTHING.

Preventive measures [for those who do not want to be affected by black magic]

How to avoid the influence of evil Jinn and magic if someone wants to avoid being afflicted by the black magic?

1. Daily recitation of the Quran
2. Offering of Salat
3. Doing zikr of Allah [swt] at fixed time daily
4. Reciting excessive Darood Shareef for Prophet Mohammad [sm]
5. Keeping clothes, body and surroundings clean
6. Recitation of Surah Falaq and Surah Nas before going to sleep as prescribed in the hadith below.

Cure [for those who are already affected by black magic]

How can a person be cured of black magic? Besides following the above 6 points, also strictly follow these practices:

Recitation of Manzil [a collection of  Quranic verses given at the end of this post] every day after Fajr or Asr salat. The use of these Quranic verses for the cure of magic is proven from the Sunnah of Prophet [sm].

Surah Al-Baqara to be recited continuously for at least 11 days in the house, between any time from Fajr to Asr salat. It is the longest Surah in Quran and if it is difficult to recite it in one sitting, then its audio should be played regularly in the house. To be on the safe side, continue with this practice even after 11 days. Those who have suffered black magic know that people who do it, will never stop and keep on attacking with magic again and again.
Give sadqa regularly, in form of money, as well as ‘zabiha‘ of animals [goat or hen]
Drinking of Zam Zam water or water at which Surah Fatiha or Manzil has been recited and blown.

Recitation of Surah Ikhlas, Surah Falaq, Surah Nas 3 times each before going to sleep. Blow it on your hands and rub your hands over your body from your head to toes. Hazrat A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) narrates:”Whenever the Messenger of Allah [sm] would become ill, he would recite the Mu’awwizat (Surah al-Falaq and Surah an-Nas) and blow over himself. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite these two Surahs and blow my breath over him and make him rub his body with his own hand, for its blessings.” (Sahih al-Bukhari No. 4728)

There should be NO pictures of living things, dolls, statues, mascots, stuffed toys or any thing resembling these in the house as the Jinn like to dwell inside such things. Clear your house immediately if you have these. Also avoid haraam music. Create ‘hisaar‘ protective shield around your house and yourself.

Method of creating a protective shield: 

At the time of Fajr and Maghrib Salat, recite Darood Shareef 3 times, Surah Fatiha, Ayat-al-Kursi, Surah Kafiroon, Surah Ikhlas, Surah Falaq, Surah Nas and then again Darood Shareef 3 times. Then blow it on the right hand’s index finger. Then envision your whole house and your family members and with this index finger, draw a circle around them horizontally 7 times. This should be done daily.

Using good non-alcoholic smells in the house as the evil Jinns abhor all things good and clean. Use rose water and also mix some of it in the water with which you take bath.

All bones of the meat [chicken, mutton, beaf] that you eat should be put in a separate place while saying ‘Bismillah’ so that evil Jinn cannot eat it. These bones are the food of Jinn and should not be left lying all over the place. It is better if they are not put into your trash-bins but put into a bag and thrown at some place away from the house.

Recitation of the masnoon dua [prayers by the Prophet (sm)] of dawn and dusk after Fajr and Maghrib Salat.

Lastly, but most importantly, the stronger the belief in Allah, the quicker the person will be cured. Recite Quran and prayers of the Prophet [sm] with the strong BELIEF that you will be cured and you will be.

I hope this article helps the distressed souls who are suffering at the hands of the people who go to black magicians. Know one thing that if you suffered because of black magic, it was also Allah’s will. No blessing or suffering comes to us without Allah’s will. Trust in Him, pray and believe and you will be cured, inshaAllah. And in the end, I must say that I cannot stress enough the importance of Surah Al-baqarah and the 30 verses of Manzil.

Surah Al-Falaq
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak (1) From the evil of that which He created; (2) From the evil of the darkness when it is intense, (3) And from the evil of malignant witchcraft, (4) And from the evil of the envier when he envieth. (5)

Surah An-Nas
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, (1) The King of mankind, (2) The God of mankind, (3) From the evil of the sneaking whisperer, (4) Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind, (5) Of the jinn and of mankind. (6)

Note: This article is written solely for the purpose of helping those who are affected by the black magic. All recommended precautions and cure are in the light of Quran and Sunnah.

25 Ways to Deal with Stress

Stress is life. Stress is anything that causes mental, physical, or spiritual tension. There is no running away from it. All that matters is how you deal with it. This article does not deal with the factors of stress, anxiety, and depression, nor is it a clinical advice. If you feel depressed, you are not alone. It has been estimated that 75 to 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians in America are for stress-related problems. This is why it is wise to consult a doctor if you are having physical symptoms of stress. However, here are some tips that can help from a spiritual perspective. Please send us your feedback so that we can improve this article Insha Allah.

Torture. Beatings. Loss of property. The death of loved ones. These were just some of the enormous challenges the Muslims of Makkah faced in the seventh century following their acceptance of Islam in fiercely tribal and polytheistic Makkah.

Detention. Harassment. Beatings. Discrimination. Loss of Job. Profiling. Hate Crimes. Constant media attention. Surveillance. These are just some of the challenges Muslims in America today face, post-9/11. Like our predecessors in Makkah, we have begun to face great stress, anxiety, and pressure, more than ever in our recent history on this continent, although Muslims who were brought here as slaves faced worse than what we can even imagine.

Turn each anxiety, each fear and each concern into a Dua (supplication). Look at it as another reason to submit to God and be in Sajdah (prostration), during which you are closest to Allah. God listens and already knows what is in your heart, but He wants you to ask Him for what you want. The Prophet said: Allah is angry with those who do not ask Him for anything (Tirmidhi).

The Prophet once said that in prayer, he would find rest and relief (Nasai). He would also regularly ask for God’s forgiveness and remain in prostration during prayer praising God (Tasbeeh) and asking for His forgiveness (Bukhari).

Allah wants you to be specific. The Prophet advised us to ask Allah for exactly what we want instead of making vague Duas. Dua is the essence of worship (the Prophet as quoted in Tirmidhi).

"Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for Allah loveth not those who trespass beyond bounds. Do not make mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order, but call on Him with fear. And longing (in your hearts): for the mercy of Allah is (always) near to those who do good"  (Quran 7:55-56).

One day Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it. He asked the Bedouin, "Why don't you tie down your camel?" The Bedouin answered, "I put my trust in Allah." The Prophet then said, "Tie your camel first, then put your trust in Allah" (Tirmidhi).

Muslims must never become fatalistic. Although we know only Allah is in control and that He has decreed all things, we are each responsible for making the right choices and doing the right thing in all situations of our lives. We must take action (link to planning articles on SV). We must work to alleviate the hardships we, our families and our communities face.

Ask yourself the following questions if you are worried about the state of the world: are you part of the peace movement? Is your Masjid part of the peace movement? Are you part of an interfaith group with an agenda of peace and justice? Are you working with a group fighting discrimination? If your answer is no, it is time that you sat down to plan your share of time and money in finding solutions to the problems you face. "Verily Allah does not change men’s condition unless they change their inner selves" (Quran 13: 11).

Turn each worry into a Dua and each Dua into an action plan. That will show your commitment to your request and will focus your energy in the right direction.

While we need to carry out our duty to the best of our abilities, always remember that you don't control the outcome of events. Even the Prophets did not control the outcome of their efforts. Some were successful, others were not. Once you have done your duty, leave the results to Allah. Regardless of the results of your efforts, you will be rewarded for the part you have played.

However, never underestimate your abilities. Understand the concept of Barakah (blessings from Allah) and remember that Allah can and Insha Allah will expand them if you are sincerely exerting your energies for the right path.

Use the five daily prayers as a means to become more Hereafter-oriented and less attached to this temporary world. Start distancing yourself as soon as you hear Adhan, the call to prayer. When you perform Wudu, keep repeating Shahada, the declaration of faith, as water drops slip down your face, hands, arms, and hair. When you stand ready to pray, mentally prepare yourself to leave this world and all of its worries and stresses behind you.

Of course, Shaytan will try to distract you during prayer. But whenever this happens, go back and remember Allah. The more you return, the more Allah will reward you for it. Also, make sure your Sajdas (prostrations) are talking Sajdas, in which you are really connecting to God and seeking His Mercy, praising Him, and asking His forgiveness.

Seek help through Sabr and Salat (Quran 2:45). This instruction from Allah provides us with two critical tools that can ease our worries and pain. Patience and prayer are two oft-neglected stressbusters. Sabr is often translated as patience but it is not just that. It includes self-control, perseverance, endurance, and a focussed struggle to achieve one’s goal. Unlike patience, which implies resignation, the concept of Sabr includes a duty to remain steadfast to achieve your goals despite all odds.

Being patient gives us control in situations where we feel we have little or no control. ‘We cannot control what happens to us but we can control our reaction to our circumstances’ is the mantra of many modern-day self-help books. Patience helps us keep our mind and attitude towards our difficulties in check.

It is important to remind ourselves that we don’t control all the variables in the world. God does. He is the Wise, the All-Knowing. Sometimes our limited human faculties are not able to comprehend His wisdom behind what happens to us and to others, but knowing that He is in control and that as human beings we submit to His Will, enriches our humanity and enhances our obedience (Uboodiah in Arabic) towards him. Read the story of the encounter of Moses with the mysteries behind God’s decision (Quran: 18:60-82). Familiarize yourself with God's 99 Names, which are also known as His Attributes. It is a powerful way of knowing Him.

"God-there is no deity save Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsistent Fount of All being. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. Who is there that could intercede with Him, unless it be by His leave? He knows all that lies open before men and all that is hidden from them, whereas they cannot attain to aught of His knowledge save that which He wills them to attain. His eternal power overspreads the heavens and the earth, and their upholding wearies Him not. And He alone is truly exalted, tremendous." (Quran 2:255).

The Prophet recommended reading this verse, known as Ayat al kursi, after each prayer, Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him. Once Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, approached the Prophet during a difficult time and he found the Prophet in Sajda, where he kept repeating "Ya Hayy Ya Qayyum", words which are part of this verse.

Allah is al Razzaq (the Provider). "How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance? It is Allah Who feeds them and you, for He hears and knows all things (Quran 29:60)." By reminding yourself that He is the Provider, you will remember that getting a job or providing for your family in these economically and politically challenging times, when Muslims are often the last to be hired and the first to be fired, is in God’s Hands, not yours. As Allah says in the Quran: "And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose. Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion (Quran 65:3).

1. Ask Him. He Listens: Dua
2. Tie your Camel: Do your Part
3. Remember that human responsibility is limited
4. Leave the world behind you five times a day
5. Seek help through Sabr
6. Excuse Me! You are Not Running the World, He is.
7. Birds Don’t Carry their Food
8. God controls Life and Death

If you fear for your physical safety and security, remember that only Allah gives life and takes it back and, that He has appointed the time for it. No one can harm you except if Allah wills. As He says in the Quran: "Wherever you are, death will find you out, even if you are in towers built up strong and high!" (Quran 4:78).

9. Remember that life is short

It's easy to get caught up in our own stress and anxiety. However, if we remember that our life is short and temporary, and that the everlasting life is in the Hereafter, this will put our worries in perspective.

This belief in the transitory nature of the life of this world reminds us that whatever difficulties, trials, anxieties, and grief we suffer in this world are, Insha Allah, something we will only experience for a short period of time. And more importantly, if we handle these tests with patience, Allah will reward us for it.

"… without doubt in the remembrance (Zikr) of Allah do hearts find tranquility" (Quran 13:28).

If you commute, use your time in Zikr. Pick any Tasbeeh and do that instead of listening to the radio or reading the newspaper. Maybe you can divide it up between Zikr and planning. Personally, I recite the Tasbeeh of "Subhana Allahe wa be hamdihi, subhan Allahil Azeem" 100 times as I drive. The Prophet taught us these two short phrases which are easy to say but will weigh heavy on our scale of good deeds in the Hereafter.

When your heart feels heavy with stress or grief, remember Allah and surround yourself with His Zikr. Zikr refers to all forms of the remembrance of Allah, including Salat, Tasbeeh, Tahmeed, Tahleel, making supplication (Dua), and reading Quran.

"And your Lord says: ‘Call on Me; I will answer your (prayer)…" (Quran 40:60)

By remembering Allah in the way He has taught us to, we are more likely to gain acceptance of our prayers and His Mercy in times of difficulty. We are communicating with the only One Who not only Hears and Knows all, but Who can change our situation and give us the patience to deal with our difficulties.

"Remember Me, and I shall remember you; be grateful to Me, and deny Me not" (Quran 2:152).

When you awaken in the morning, thank Allah for giving you life after that short death called sleep. When you step out of your home, say 'in Your Name Allah, I put my trust in Allah, and there is no power or force except with Allah' (Bismillahi Tawakal to al Allah wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah). At night, remember Allah, with His praises on your lips.

Once you have established a plan you intend to follow through on to deal with a specific issue or problem in your life, put your trust in the most Wise and the All-Knowing. "When you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah" (Quran 3: 159).

Rely on Allah by constantly remembering Him throughout your day. When you lay down to sleep, remember that sleep is death. That is why one of the recommended supplications before going to sleep is "with Your (Allah's) Name I die and become alive".

You are not alone. Muslims are not alone. We are not suffering in silence. There are millions of good people who are not Muslim with beautiful hearts and minds. These are people who have supported us, individually and collectively, post-9/11, by checking up on us and making sure we are safe. These are individuals and organizations who have spoken up in defense of Muslims as we endured harassment and discrimination.

We must think of them, talk to them, connect with them, and pray for them. Through our connections, we will break the chain of isolation that leads to depression and anxiety.

The Prophet said: Whenever you see someone better than you in wealth, face or figure, you should look at someone who is inferior to you in these respects (so that you may thank Allah for His blessings) (Bukhari, Muslim).

Next time you sit down to eat, eye the table carefully. Check out the selection of food, the quality, the taste, the quantity, and then think of the millions of others who don't have even half as much. The Prophet's Hadith reminds us of this so that we can appreciate and thank God for all that we have.

Also remember that the Prophet only encouraged us to compare ourselves to others in two respects: in our Islamic knowledge and level of belief in God (Deen). In these two areas, we should compare ourselves with those who have more than what we do.

Find a corner of a lake, go out in the wilderness, or even stand on your lawn at your home and call the Adhan with your heart. While driving, instead of listening to the same news over and over again, say Allahu Akbar as loudly as you can or as softly as you want, based on your mood. Year ago, I remember calling Adhan on a Lake Michigan shore in Chicago after sunset as the water gushed against my knees. I was calling it for myself. There was no one else accept the waves after waves of water with their symphony. It was relaxing and meaningful. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.

10. Do Zikr, Allah, Allah!
11. Relying on Allah: Tawakkul
12. Connect with other human beings
13. Compare your dining table with that of those who don't have as much as you do
14. Say it Loud: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar: Takbirat & Adhan
15. Pray in congregation (Jamat)

Pray with other people instead of alone. If you can't pray all five prayers in congregation, at least find one or two prayers you can pray with others. If you are away, establish Jamat in your own family. During the Prophet's time, even though the Muslims endured great persecution, including physical beatings, they would sometimes meet on the side of a mountain or valley and tried to pray together. This is a great morale booster.

16. How is your Imam's Dua?

Does the Imam at your local mosque make Dua silently or out loud? Ask him to supplicate with the whole congregation. Suggest Duas for him to make. Ask him to make Dua for other people.

Bringing Muslims together will not only help the Muslims, but it will also encourage you to focus your energies on something constructive versus zeroing in on and consistently fretting about difficulties you are going through.

Invite Muslims from other ethnic groups to your functions. Visit Masjids other than yours in your city. When you meet a Muslim leader, after thanking him for his efforts, ask him what he is doing for Muslim unity. Ask Imams to make Dua for this. These are just small ways you can help yourself and the Muslim community.

End your day on a positive note. Make Wudu, then think of your day. Thank Allah for all the good things you accomplished, like Zikr and Salat. Ask yourself what you did today to bring humanity together and what you did to help Muslims become servants of humanity. For everything positive, say Alhamdu lillah (Praise be to Allah). For everything negative say Astaghfirullah wa atoobo ilayk (I seek Allah's forgiveness and I turn to You [Allah]). Recite the last two chapters of the Quran, thinking and praying as you turn on your right side with your hand below your right cheek, the way the Prophet used to sleep. Then close your day with the name of Allah on your tongue. Insha Allah, you will have a good, restful night.

Get up early. Get up thanking God that He has given you another day. Alhamdu lillahil lazi ahyana bada ma amatana, wa ilaihin Nushoor (Praise be to Allah Who gave us life after death and unto Him will be the return). Invest in an audio tape driven alarm clock so you can get up to the melody of the Quran. Or Let Dawud Wharnsby's joyful notes put you in a good mood. Sing along if you like. Develop your to do list for the day if you didn't do it the night before. Begin with the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing in the heavens or the earth can hurt you. He is the Highest and the Greatest. (Bismillahillazi la yazurru maa ismihi shaiun fil arze wa la fis samae, wahuwal Alee ul Azeem). The Prophet used to say this after every Fajr and Maghrib prayers.

Don't spend too much time checking out the news on the radio, television or internet. Spend more time reading good books and journals. When you listen to the persistent barrage of bad news, especially relating to Muslims nowadays, you feel not only depressed, but powerless. Cut down media time to reduce your stress and anxiety. It's important to know what's going on but not to an extent that it ruins your day or your mood.

The Prophet was always concerned about other people, Muslims and non-Muslims, and would regularly pray for them. Praying for others connects you with them and helps you understand their suffering. This in itself has a healing component to it. The Prophet has said that praying for someone who is not present increases love.

Reading and listening to the Quran will help refresh our hearts and our minds. Recite it out loud or in a low voice. Listen to it in the car. When you are praying Nafl or extra prayers, pick it up and use it to recite portions of the Quran you are not as familiar with. Connecting to the Quran means connecting to God. Let it be a means to heal your heart of stress and worries. Invest in different recordings of the Quran and their translations.

"O humanity! There has come to you a direction from your Lord and a cure for all [the ills] in men’s hearts - and for those who believe, a Guidance and a Mercy" (Quran 10:57).

"If you are grateful, I will give you more" (Quran 14:7).

Counting our blessings helps us not only be grateful for what we have, but it also reminds us that we are so much better off than millions of others, whether that is in terms of our health, family, financial situation, or other aspects of our life. And being grateful for all we have helps us maintain a positive attitude in the face of worries and challenges we are facing almost daily.

Ideals are wonderful things to pursue. But do that gradually. Think, prioritize, plan, and move forward. One step at a time.

18. Sleep the way the Prophet slept
19. Begin the Day on a Positive Note
20. Avoid Media Overexposure: Switch from News to Books
