How is sorcery treated?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah reward you. A questioner says: I am afflicted with sorcery; I feel it in my stomach and in my head, and it significantly affects my intimacy with my wife. I have tried hard to get rid of it, but I have not been able to. I pray in congregation, I recite the adhkar, and I read the Qur'an, praise be to Allah, but this sorcery has persisted with me, and I do not know what to do about it. What do you advise me?

Answer : I advise him to persist in reading, dhikr (the remembrance of Allah), and du'a' (supplication). Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
(1) Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allah. To Him belongs dominion, and to Him belongs [all] praise, and He is over all things competent. (2) It is He who created you, and among you is the disbeliever, and among you is the believer. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ هُوَ
[At-Taghabun 64:1-2]
(Exalted and Majestic is He) is the One in whose hand are the disease and the cure,
and despair not of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ
[Yusuf 12:87]
, and I hope for him a speedy recovery, and that Allah the Exalted grants him good health.
