Question:
How can the person who is "mashor" know that he is "mashowr", is that effect his prayer or his reading Quran, if you can help me with details please… Most of the times I feel that I didn't do something in my prayer like I didn't read the Tashahhud after the second Raka'h or I did not read al-Faatihah or I did not say Iqaamah “the Athaan” after I start praying. This is about the realign side, the medical side I feel pain in my back, tired all the time and some times I can't wait to get to wash room I went to the doctor I did some test for that, always he says that there is nothing. Everything is ok. But still I have that pain. I live in Canada, all that test (“x-ray", “poul” test) it says I am ok. I am married, last year my wife got pregnant for just two weeks and lost her pregnancy, from that time till know we are trying to get her pregnant again but we can't we went to the doctor we did to many test, the result for the test we are ok. But nothing happed. "She can't pregnant again". In your opinion is that related to “sehar”.
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 ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
A person should not rule that everything which happens to him is magic or envy and the like, as this could lead him to whispers in most cases; nonetheless, we confirm that both magic and evil eye are a true fact. Nonetheless, a person should put his trust in Allaah in all his affairs, and then he should take the necessary means to get rid of the hardship and troubles that he is experiencing. If what he experiences is a mere whisper, he should treat it religiously by referring to the scholars, may Allaah protect them. If it is magic or envy, he should treat it with Ruqyah by referring to specialized religious people in the field, and if it is a disease, he should consult doctors and so forth.
In our view, what you should do is to contact to the nearest Islamic centre in your country and seek the advice of people who are founded in knowledge in these centres in regard to your case. Besides, you should repeatedly treat yourself with Ruqyah and supplicate Allaah as much as possible. Allaah Says (which means): {Seek help in patience and prayer…}[Quran 2:153]. You should cast off your whispers when purifying yourself and when performing the prayer, because it is very dangerous to give in to your whispers.

Allaah Knows best.
