Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah
What should we do regarding some cats which cry and howl a lot outside our house?
Walaikumassalam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu
Do not deal harshly with the cats, as sometimes due to our behavior they get motivated to act mischievously while at other times there may be other reasons for this behavior. You all should make a habit of reading maudhatain along with the following supplications every evening and blow it on yourself:
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ ۔هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلَامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ۔ هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ۔
سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِنْ رَبِّ الرَّحِیْمْ۔
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِى لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَىْءٌ فِى الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِى السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ۔
اَعُوْذُ بِکَلِمَاتِ اللہِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ۔
