We often hear about cases of lunacy, constant
headaches and stomach aches, insomnia, lethargy, hearing voices, sexual
inability, sterility, frigidity, shattered marriages, woman's continuous
bleeding; and we often tend to have the undemanding answer that 'it is Allah (SWA),
or, as the ignorant would put it, 'it is nature.' Certainly, it is undisputable
that anything in the Heavens and the Earth is managed by Allah , but we should
not discard that Allah ;U- has also commanded us to consider the causes of
events. It is high time that we stopped and considered for a moment that,
besides normal causes, there is the evil force of Sihr, the Arabic equivalent to
sorcery. The sorcerer and Satan work in partnership to provide an
'intent-to-harm service' to their client, in return for a mere pittance which
they receive from those with weak personalities and from the wicked, who hold
grudges against their Muslim brothers and sisters and who love to see them
suffer under the effects of sorcery.
'Say: I
seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn. From the evil of what He has created. And
from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes. And from the evil of
those who blow on knots. And from the evil of the envious when he envies.'
(TM Qur'an Al-Falaq: 1-5)

-The ways in which one can show
them kindness and respect are many, e.g., visiting them, speaking kindly to
them, lowering to them the wing of humility, giving them gifts, and so on. When
you go to visit them with the hope of earning reward from Allaah, this is a
great form of worship Don’t be a Muslim 'activist' if
all your activity is going to be outside the home. And don’t be an Islamic 'terror'
to your family: coming in like a whirlwind, from time-to-time, upsetting your
Parents and Family
'Your
Lord has decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents.
Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word
of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour'

Dar Ibn Hazm,
'And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his
parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was
his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents:
to Me is (thy final) Goal'
{TM Qur'an Luqman 31:14}
On
the authority of Abu Hurairah, who quotes the Prophet (Pbuh) as saying: “Three
prayers are answered without doubt: a prayer by a person suffering injustice,
and a prayer by a traveller, and a prayer by parents against a child of their
own”
(Related by
Ahmad, Al-Tirmithi )
'O
my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all)
believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase
but in perdition!

ENJOINING RIGHT AND FORBIDDING WRONG

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him, seek His aid, and
seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil which is within our
selves, and from the evil in our actions. Whoever Allah guides, none can send
astray; whoever Allah sends astray, none can guide.
I bear witness that there is no deity other than Allah alone,
and with no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His
messenger. Allah sent him with the guidance and the way of truth, that He might
raise it above all other ways of life. Allah is sufficient as a witness. May
Allah send His prayers and his greetings upon Muhammad and upon the people of
Muhammad.
Enjoining right and forbidding wrong is that with which Allah
sent the revealed books, and with it He sent His messengers, and it is an
integral part of the way (i.e. the deen). The message of Allah is
composed of informative and directive parts. As for the informative, it is Allah
informing us about Himself, such as tauhid (theology), or His informing
us about His creation, such as the stories of previous peoples and Prophets in
which are contained for us lessons, threats and promises. The directive part
consists of commands to do, commands not to do, and things left to our choice
and discretion.
Thus, it has been mentioned in the hadith that the chapter of
the Qur'an which starts out: [Say: He is Allah, the One...] is equal to one
third of the Qur'an, because of its including the third of tauhid. The
Qur'an consists of tauhid, commands, and historical events.
