When he sneezes he receives a call from his wife

9-8-2005 | IslamWeb

Question:

I have quite a peculiar enquiry about sneezing. Although it might sound a bit strange, I believe it is quite an amazing experience that I'm having and I'd like your opinion on this. I got married recently, me and my wife love each other very much, all praise and thanks to Almighty Allaah.
Now, whenever I am away from my wife and when she thinks about me I sneeze (usually twice) and very soon after I get a call from her.
For example, I went away on business for a week and I found that this happened on many occasions at various times of the day. At first I thought it was just a coincidence but after several experiences (more than 10) I have started to feel that there is more to it than this. I experience this at any time of the day whenever I am away from her (i.e. if at work) and 90% of the time she usually calls me on the phone telling me that she was thinking about me.
Please advise as I am eager to know whether there is any Islamic/spiritual explanation of this.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

 

We do not know any evidence in the Quran or the Sunnah of the Prophet which suggests that if a person sneezes, it means that someone has mentioned him, and we do not have any explanation for this matter.

Lastly, our site exclusively answers religious Fataawa.

Allaah Knows best.
