Summary
The fatwa advises that change should begin with oneself, by increasing seeking refuge in Allah (isti'adzah), supplication and asking Allah SWT for healing. One should live and carry out religious duties sincerely without shirk, increase remembrance of Allah, fear Allah rather than the devil by abandoning sins, and seek forgiveness and repent. Seeking religious knowledge together with the Muslim community is also encouraged, since the devil only influences those who follow his whispers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hendaklah juga perbanyakkan zikrullah kerana syaitan lari daripada orang yang berzikir.
