Jinn,witchcraft, evil ,- I want my relationship with my husband to go back to the way it was.

I have a problem and only my Lord knows howbad it is. My problem is
that my husband treats me badly and betrays meand does not acknowledge
his Lord. This complete change happened three years ago and I have
been putting up with it for so long for the sake of my children and in
the hopethat he would change. I used to think that his mother was
influencing him, because his mother used to criticize me all the time
behind my backeven though I treated her well and respected her and
took care of her.But she used to feel jealous of my husband's love for
me, and I felt that, even though in front of me she pretended to show
love because I used to treat her well. This happened three years ago
when she stayed with us in ourhouse for five months after her husband
passed away, and she left us after we traveled abroad for work. Since
that time I have been suffering terribly.
My husband is no longer the husband that I know. I hope that you can
help me, because I do not know what to do any more to bring him back
to the way he was before. My sister is certain that he has been
bewitched and is not in his right mind. Is this possible? And if it is
thenwhat can I do? I hope that you can advise me, because I do not
want toget divorced or to turn to charlatans. My sister told me that
there is a man of religion who treats people by means of Qur'aan, and
she asked me to give her my picture and a picture of my husband. But I
was afraid that this might incur the wrath of Allaah. Is that
permissible? What should I do in this situation? I hope that you will
help me, because I am in a difficult situation. I hopethat you will
answer me quickly. I am turning to you – after Allaah – in the hope
that my Lord will show me a way out. May Allaah relieve you ofall
difficulty and may Allaah reward you with all good.
Praise be to Allaah.
You should note that by His wisdom, Allaah tests His slaves with good
andevil, to show who among them will obey Him in all circumstances and
who will only obey Him in some circumstances. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is
best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving"
[al-Mulk 67:2]
"and We shall make a trial of you with evil andwith good. And to Us
youwill be returned"
[al-Anbiya' 21:35]
One of the kinds of tests is that Allaah may test one spouse with bad
treatment on the part of the other, for whatever reason. Based on
this, if what you have mentioned is correct andyour husband has been
bewitched or affected by strong hasad (envy) – for witchcraft and the
evil eye do have an effect, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said, "The evil eye is real" (narrated by
al-Bukhaari, no. 5408; Muslim, 2187) – then youhave to do the
following:
1 – Remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr) and pray for forgiveness. Ask
Allaah to heal your husband and to make him be as he used to be.
Nothing can alter the divine decree except du'aa'.
2 – Think about yourself and the way you treat your husband. It may be
that you have changed in the way you treat him, without realizing. Be
the best wife you can to him, and the best help, after Allaah. Stand
be his side during this trial and be his support, after Allaah.
3 – Do not go to that so-called man of religion, for he is asking for
your picture in order to practice trickery. See question no. 21124 .
4 – There is nothing wrong with you going with your husband to a
trustworthy shaykh, whotreats people by means of the Qur'aan and
du'aa's prescribed by theProphet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him). You could also recite Qur'aan over some water and you
andyour husband drink from it, and you could recite ruqyah over him
every day, and recite Soorat al-Baqarah in the house. For more
information on the waysof undoing the effects ofwitchcraft please see
thefollowing questions: 11290 , 4010 , 21124 , 12198 , 8291 , 20954 .
For information on protection against witchcraft, please see questions
no. 2662 and 22816 . For information on various kinds of witchcraft
please see questions no. 12578 , 9432 , 240 .
5 – Assuming that what has happened to your husband is not witchcraft
or hasad (envy), then sit with him and discuss things frankly. Tell
him what you feel, and agree to go back to the way things were.
6 – You can ask some people – especially trustworthy relatives -
tointervene and seek a solution to this problem, and to look into its
causes and try to find a way of resolving it.
Finally, we advise you to weigh up your husband's good points and bad
points, and do not forget his good qualities and his kind treatment of
you, because that will motivate you to try to bring him back to the
right path in his religion and in his relationship with his Lord,
first of all, then in his relationship with you.
May Allaah make things easy for you, and make your husband happy with
your obedience and make you happy with his good treatment.And Allaah
knows best.

Struggles benefit - The man who wanted to help the butterfly

A man found a cocoon ofa butterfly. One day a small opening
appeared.He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it
struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed
to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as
it could, and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors
and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and
small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at
any moment, thewings would enlarge and expand to be able tosupport the
body, which would contract in time.
Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life
crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was
able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was
thatthe restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly
to get through the tiny opening were Allah's way of forcing fluid from
the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for
flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If Allah
allowedus to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would
cripple us.
We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never "fly"!
I asked for Strength.........
And Allah gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom.........
And Allah gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.........
And Allah gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage.........
And Allah gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love..........
And Allah gave me Troubled people to help.
I asked for Favours.........
And Allah gave me Opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted ........
I received everything I needed!
"So blessed be Allah, the best of creators!"
Sura The Believer (23) verse 14

Ibrahim ibn Adham and the man who didn't disobey Allah again

A man came to Ibrahim ibn Adham, may Allah be pleased with him, and
said, "Abu Ishaq, I am unable to control myself.Please give me
something to help me with it"
"If you accept five conditions," said Ibrahim, "and are able to put
them into practice, your disobedience will not cause you any problem."
"Just tell me what they are, Abu Ishaq!" the mansaid. "The first is
that when you want to disobey Allah you do noteat anything He
provides." "Then how will I get anything to eat? Everything on the
earth is from Him!" "So isit right to eat His provision and disobey
Him at the same time?" replied Ibrahim.
"No, it is not. What is thesecond condition?""When you want to disobey
him, move off His land."
"That is even more difficult! Exclaimed the man. "In that case
wherewill I live?"
"Is it right to eat his provision and live on His land and then to
disobeyHim?" asked Ibrahim."No, it is not."
"What is the third condition?" "When you want to disobey Him in spite
of eating His provision and living on His land, find a place where He
will not see you and disobey Him there."
"What do you mean, Ibrahim? He knows everything that happenseven in
the most hidden places!" "So is it right to disobey Him when you eat
His provision and liveon His land and when you know that He can see
everything you do?""It certainly is not!" the man replied.
"Tell me the fourth condition." "That when the Angel of Death arrives
to take your soul,you say to him, 'Give me a reprieve so that I can
repent and act righteously for Allah.'"
"But he won't listen to me!" "Then if you cannotward off death long
enough to give yourself time to repent, and you know that when it
comes there will be no reprieve, how can you hope to be saved?"
"What is the fifth?" "Thatwhen the angels of the Fire come to you to
take you to the Fire, you do not go with them.""They will take me
whether I like it or not!" exclaimed the man.
"So how can you hope to be saved?"
"Enough, enough, Ibrahim! I ask Allah's forgiveness and I turn toHim!"
The man's repentance was sincere and from that time on he was
assiduous in his worship and avoided acts of disobedience until the
day he died.

There is no compulsion in Islam, everyone enjoys freedom of worship and belief

There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. Right guidance
has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who rejects false
deities and believes in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which
will never give way. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.(Surat
al-Baqara, 256)
Islam is a religion of loveand beauty. Since people who live by
Islamsee the essence and beauty of this beautiful faith and have a
profound belief in Allah, they live in a state of great excitement and
enthusiasm. This is an opening of the heart. The source of devotion to
Islam is love of Allah. AMuslim prays because of his love of Allah. He
performs his religious obligations and lives by the Qur'an because of
his love of Allah. In the Qur'an, Allah describes Muslims in that
regard as"those whose hearts turn to Allah" and "thosewho are
unreservedly devoted."
A Muslim comprehends Islam and the might of Allah with his mind and
confirms them with his heart. As set out in a definitive pronouncement
in the Qur'an, nobody can impose the religion on anyone else by the
use of force or compulsion. If attempts are made to force anyone to
convert to Islam, that may make him a hypocrite rather than a Muslim.
The resultis the kind of person who is totally opposed to Islam. Under
pressure,the hypocrite will say that he is a Muslim, though in his
heart he harbors a conception that is a far cry from the moral values
of the Qur'an and is a fraud who harbors hatred for and is inimical to
Islam and Muslims. Allah describes those who engage in hypocrisy in
these terms in the Qur'an:
Among the people there are some who say, 'We believe in Allah and the
Last Day,' when they are not believers. They thinkthey deceive Allah
and those who believe. They deceive no one but themselves but they are
not aware of it. There is a sickness in their hearts and Allah has
increased their sickness. They will have a painful punishment on
account of their denial. (Surat al-Baqara, 8-10)
When they meet those who believe, they say, 'We believe.' But then
when they go apart withtheir demons, they say, 'We are really with
you. We were only mocking.' (Surat al-Baqara, 14)
That is because they have had belief and thenreturned to unbelief. So
their hearts have been sealed up and they cannot understand. (Surat
al-Munafiqun, 3)
There is a group of you who propagated the lie... (Surat an-Nur, 24)
There is a sickness in their hearts and Allah has increased their
sickness. They will have a painful punishment onaccount of their
denial. (Surat al-Baqara, 10)
Every Muslim has an obligation to preach the word of Islam and tell
people of its pronouncements and excellent moral values. But this, the
Qur'an states, can never be done through compulsion. The Qur'an may be
communicated to Christians and Jews, but if these people insist of
living by their own faiths, then there can be no question of forcing
them to do otherwise.
For that reason, Allah says, "There is no compulsion in the religion"
and speaks of the need for voluntary love. Compelling people to be
Muslims is prohibited in Islam.
By the will of Allah, the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times
in which we are living is close at hand. In the time of Hazrat Mahdi
(as)people will comprehend the essence of the religion and will turn
to belief in Allah en masse. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will rule Muslims with
the Qur'an, Christians with the Gospel and Jews with the Torah. Hazrat
Mahdi (as) will spill no blood and, as commanded in the Qur'an, will
call on people to believe in Allah and see the essence of the religion
with love and sound counsel.
