Traditional healers vs frauds = khurafat

In my culture, people still believe in traditional healers. Most traditional healers in this country consist of frauds. A lot of them are and have been prosecuted for money laundering, cheating, molest and rape. They are sick people who make others believe that they are genuinely sick and that they have just the cure for it. And they make people pay a fortune for the cure.

Come back a few days later, problem still persists. Cancer is still there.

But money has disappeared.

It is unfortunate that despite all the prosecutions and stories on the news, ignorant people still believe in them so strongly that they sideline the one and only most powerful of all. God. When one has a problem or an illness, the best one could do is to believe that God is enough. Of course, one has to put an effort in finding the best, valid and safest treatment and solution available. God willing, the problem will solve. And the illness will pass.

Stop believing that a black string tied around the wrist will cause a baby to stop crying, or getting the viral flu. It is utterly absurd.
