In today’s world, many people experience unusual physical, psychological, and emotional disturbances that cannot be explained by medical science alone. If you have visited a doctor and the only diagnosis given is stress, anxiety, or a vague “fancy name,” it is possible that the cause may be spiritual in nature—such as black magic (Kala Ilm), the influence of Jinn, or the Evil Eye (Hasad). Recognizing the signs early can help you seek the right Islamic spiritual treatment (Ruqyah Shar‘iyyah) and restore peace in your life.
