She is so generous, always volunteering in the masjid and an all around a great person. She has brought me closer to Islam Alhamdulillah and taught me a lot about it. I believe that recently she has had evil eye on her.\\n\\nEvery time she gets close to marriage, something random happens last minute and ruins it. She has the mindset that Allah saved her, which I am sure is true. However, something bad is almost always happening to her Subhanallah.\\n\\nIs my thinking inappropriate? Do you preform ruqya or know of anyone in our community who does? I want her to try because I really care about her.\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"May Allah (ﷻ) continue to bless your friendship and make it a means to bring you both closer to Him, insha’Allah. Although these potential marriages may have seemed like they would have been beneficial for her, Allah ﷻ reminds us in the Quran:\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"bold\":true},\"insert\":\"“Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you.

Completely entrusting your affairs to the One who created you, is the only guaranteed lifeboat we have in this life. He ﷻ knows our hearts, our futures, and what we need without us even uttering a word.\\n\\nTo address your fears of hasad (being afflicted with the evil eye), it is important to avoid immediately attributing everything to hasad. While it is a possibility, it is much rarer than most think.\\n\\nWhether one feels they are afflicted with hasad or not, It is highly recommended to regularly seek Allah’s refuge and recite the last three chapters of the Quran, along with Ayat al-Kursi. In addition, I strongly encourage adopting a daily practice of reciting a structured litany, such as the one compiled by Imam Nawawi.\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"link\":\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5835313c6a4963bb18246ee9/t/61841ef9abce594ec6018f35/1636048633169/The+Litany+of+Imam+al-Nawawi+_+Musa+Furber.pdf\"},\"insert\":\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5835313c6a4963bb18246ee9/t/61841ef9abce594ec6018f35/1636048633169/The+Litany+of+Imam+al-Nawawi+_+Musa+Furber.pdf\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"link\":\"https://soundcloud.com/taqwasingapore/wird-al-nawawi\"},\"insert\":\"https://soundcloud.com/taqwasingapore/wird-al-nawawi\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"link\":\"https://daralhadith.org.uk/shaykh-al-buti-on-the-blessings-of-the-wird-al-nawawi/\"},\"insert\":\"https://daralhadith.org.uk/shaykh-al-buti-on-the-blessings-of-the-wird-al-nawawi/\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"link\":\"https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/452743\"},\"insert\":\"https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/452743\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328fc","tag":"Unseen: Evil Eye","count":11},{"_id":"66e21ee844ff6b092d439b43","tag":"Supplication","count":5},{"_id":"672259acf809463c0a046abf","tag":"Imam Nawawi","count":2},{"_id":"674b80d6590d1c166348baf4","tag":"Quran Healing","count":1},{"_id":"676ac45a631b2ecff5b5cb92","tag":"Litany","count":1}],"createdOn":"2024-12-24T14:25:30.148Z"}
