Black Magic, Jadu Tuna or a Health Problem - Part IV

Another person told us this story:

Some people have, by experience and observation, the ability to tell by signs and symptoms, the cause of illness. If you vomit blood you will be wrong in assessing that it was caused by hurting contemptuous language during altercation, the person who can evaluate by symptoms can describe this more precisely; like a "throw of blood" is supposed to be "a bursting of an ulcer". Once it happened to my wife. If it was known earlier, I could, at least, try to find the best possible treatment available. We did go to surgeon for removal of her kidney stone and did some blood tests for diabetes. No doctor or lab traced this. “Ignorance is no excuse” but believe me, we had had no indication. My wife passed away and I feel ashamed I was unable to get around her ulceration. Yes, we knew the daughter who suffers from an ulcer in the stomach for years now. May Allah Almighty make her healthy and relieve her of this injurious problem.

Inspite of the effect that we are taking medical treatment and in the middle of things, we are confused when somebody whispers "it looks like an effect of a jadu-tuna" and we should go to a babaji. God forgive us. Not believing that jadutuna can bring death closer that fixed by God, we just take chance and do go to babaji who’s saying that "this is a 'strong' jadutuna effect but he will remove it". He may be the same person who originally had himself done this jadutuna. For a moment we are satisfied that by paying some money and doing some tactics (you will not otherwise do). I wish we should have spent same time in acting upon "Eyya-Ka na'bodu - wa eyya-Ka nastaee" - "We worship You (God) and we seek Your Help" that could certainly bring good result. But we failed in test - We turn back to God or Not.

Such things, then, create a doubt that we have a jadutuna effect. We received few gifts which always carry good intentions; but that doubt of jadutuna would keep clicking in our minds. Religiously we are suggested to exchange gifts to strengthen our relations and affection.

First gift: I will mention of a gift a sweet dough of fine flour, in a bowl; telling my wife that it is for “me” because they knew I like sweets; and that she should make some dumplings for me. Thanks for their consideration. Otherwise custom is that you bring a cake etc. and hand over to the house lady; then everybody including guests would have some tea and a piece of that cake or sweetmeat. My wife was worried; naturally, why this for “me” alone!

Second gift: It was a white scarf which had two three burns on it. It was no occasion but gifts can be presented on simple visits also.

Third gift: For my wife a white shirt but cut in several parts; like, back part, front part, and collar, the front opening below neck, the arms and the cuffs. I think this should have cost them much more than buying a ready-made shirt. This pattern was cut by herself or she had paid some money to the cutter and now we will take it to a tailor who will certainly (a) not like that cutting and (b) charge some extra money to rearrange and stitch.

Fourth gift: We got another piece of cloth for my wife. The packet, unfortunately, had some shoe marks as someone had stepped over it. Whatever intention, how it happened, it didn’t look respectful.

One day we found a fancy dotted egg of a game bird in a flower pot. In the afternoon there was a game bird who cried, jumped up down and changed sides with cramps and in couple of minutes died.

Every thing may have good intention but we took it as a malpractice. My apologies to them and God for our misunderstanding. We should all speak out if we have "doubts" to wash out our hearts. I seek Allah's guidance in all our affairs and He may bless them also with all His Kindness (A’MEEN sum A’AMEEN).
