However, similar to instances of sorcery and jinn possession, such occurrences are not as frequent as they may seem. Therefore, there's no need to harbor fear or undue anxiety about these matters.

You're welcome to select either or both, according to your preference.\\n\\nDuring my time studying in Yemen, I came across an amusing anecdote concerning Shibam, a town notorious for its association with the evil eye.
