“The ibtilaa’ (testing) of the believer is like medicine for him. It cures him from illness. Had the illness remained it would destroy him or diminish his reward and level (in the hereafter). The tests and the trials extract these illnesses from him and prepare him for the perfect reward and highest of degrees (in the life to come)”.
Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah
Pre-treatment Stage
- Remove pictures from the place of treatment so that angels may enter it. Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.
- Talismans (taweez), must be removed (cancelled and destroyed).
- Switch off the TV or any other distractions that will interfere with the treatment.
- Understanding of Aqeedah and Tawheed must be correct so that your heart is cleansed from any attachments to anything other than Allāh (Azzawajal).
The first point of treatment and protection is when a person is close to Allāh, always remembering Him (dhikr) and reading Qur’ān, he is less likely to be effected by the evil eye and other kinds of harm from the devils. The individual constant in this will be content, peaceful and have a better understanding of the purpose of his creation.
