Interpreting An Unusual Event


Question

Dear Sir,

I am working and living in Dubai from last five years. Everything was working fine. But from the last few weeks we are having some blood drops on our clothes. One morning when I woke up in the morning there were some blood drops on my T-Shirt. And today some drops on my son’s new clothes which were there in the cupboard.
Please guide me regarding this. I will be too much thankful to you.
Regards,
A. Sajid Shahid

Answer

My first advice is to make sure that there is no common sense or scientific explanation for your observation. Since people have some background thoughts and assumptions they often rush to interpret simple things in a complicated way. In most of the cases the incident has a very simple explanation.

After thorough investigation if you find that there is no simple explanation for your observation then in order to assure that you are immune from any ill intentions you need to seek the shelter of the Almighty:
First make sure that you and the other adults in your family are practicing their religious obligations, in particular prayers.
Second, give some money to charity, it does not need to be a big amount of money.
Third, read the last two chapters of the Qur’ān. Regularly.
Forth, regularly pray to God for your safety and peace with your own words that will certainly come from your heart.
Fifth, read some of the supplications narrated from the Prophet (sws) in more reliable books, for instance:

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا

Allāh is sufficient for us. He is the best disposer of affairs. In Allāh [only] we repose trust. (Tirmidhi, No: 3355)

أعوذ بكلمات الله ‏ ‏التامات ‏ ‏من شر ما خلق

I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allāh from the evil of what He has created,” (Muslim 4881)

I hope this helps.
