FEAR ALLAH, AND FEAR NOT EVIL!

In recent times there has been a lot of delusion and imagining on the part of people speculating that whatever afflicts them is due to magic, the jinn and the evil eye. Even if a person is stricken with cold he says it’s the evil eye or magic. This is a great error. Turn away from all of this, oh Muslim! Trust and depend on Allah! (by maintaining salah times, reciting the adhkaar of the morning and the evening, reciting the Qur’an in your homes!) Don’t allow yourself to be confused by whispering and ultimately this (these thoughts) will be diverted from you. The reason for that is if a man has something on his mind, he will be preoccupied with it. Whereas if he ignored it and left it alone, no harm would touch him. [Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullah), Fataawa Noor ‘Alaa ad-Darb, Tape. 366: ‘Poor Character’]
