Ask an Alim

Salamun Alaykum

Thank you for your query.

Just cursing without any valid reason won’t affect the other person rather if the cursing in invalid then it may affect the curser itself.

As it is not clear for me, how you’re certain someone cursed you 4-5 years ago and for what reason, hence, I am looking at it generally and answering.

If you think you had wronged someone or have harmed him financially, then you must pay the amount to the same person but if you don’t know the person and know the amount then that should be paid as Radd-al-Madhalim(رد المظالم) to your Mujtahid’s office.

Therefore, if someone has cursed because you had oppressed him/her, then the only way to remove the curse is to compensate for the oppression you had done to the curser and to gain his satisfaction. And if you haven’t oppressed or harmed that person, then you shouldn’t worry about this.

And if the case is none of the above and you are just feeling bad because of your life’s situation then do Tawakkul and Tawassul.
Recite Qur’an everyday even if less. If you already recite Qur’an every day, then start reading the translation. Recite Duas and Hadithe Kisa and ask for Allah’s satisfaction.

set aside charity as that helps immensely.

May Allah(swt) grant you success
