An evil of society, that harms every aspect of ur life. It destroys ur capabilities of thinking, decreases

productivity & can even cause death at times. I was a victim at one stage too, but I held tightly on to Allah

Almighty's rope. Alhamdulillah now Im out of it, but I still feel there are some barriers to cross. Let me give

u my point of view, that I have always believed that Allah's power is far more powerful than black magic or

any other evil. This has to be every Muslim's primary belief; else black magic will have more influence on u.

I have always regarded black magic as **** & will continue to do so.

The magicians would stoop to the lowest Xtreme to achieve their level of status within their evil culminated

society. They eat all the rotten trash that u can think of, from **** to dead baby foetus, from lizards to

snakes...!!!!! There are various forms of black magic, the most dangerous being sifli.

They are the worst form of evil. From what I've heard, the black magic that we see 2day is only a page from

a book that was destroyed centuries ago.

A lot of guppies asked for my help my via pm so here is my reply in detail. Im not here to intimidate all of u

folks, rather instill a cure for this fear that everyone has in the back of their head, & remove it permanently.

Anyone affected by this evil can notice its effects instantly. There will be "strange" events like blood on the

walls, or ur clothes, smell of rotten flesh, bad foul stenches etc...But this should not deter u from staying on

the right path nor should it bring even the faintest hint of fear in ur heart. Remember satan breeds on fear &

hate, so let the fear of Allah grow in ur heart & make it strong, not the fear of the unknown.

Having said all of this, here are some cures, that I've found in my research after sticking around with

some aalims.

If the person feels he is under a black spell, recite Surah Al Baqarah over a bucket of water(with leaves from

a neem tree) & bath with it everyday for 7 consecutive days. This has to be done consecutively without any

breaks in between.

If the person feels his/her home is affected, then recite Surah Al Baqarah for 7 consecutive days clearly so

that the recitation can be heard in every corner of the home. A stereo playing the recitation of Surah Al

Baqarah is also valid, & has the same effect.

Recite Ayat Al Kursi followed by Surah Al Kafiroon, Al Uhud, Al Falaq, Al Nas after every obligatory

prayers. One can also recite this before driving a car or travelling, to protect him/her from any harm.

Performing Wodhu before u go to sleep at night.

Recite Ayat Al Kursi every night before u sleep, this also protects u from nightmares.

From other sources

There are means of protecting oneself against the dangers of witchcraft before it happens, the most important

and beneficial of which is protecting oneself by reciting the dhikrs, du’aa’s and prayers for protection that are

prescribed in sharee’ah, such as reciting Aayat al-Kursiy after every obligatory prayer, after the dhikrs that

are prescribed after the salaam. It may also be recited when going to sleep. Aayat al-Kurisy is the greatest

verse in the Holy Qur’aan, in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever

Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him

belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him

except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will

happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which

He wills. His Kursiy extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and

preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great”

[al-Baqarah 2:255]

One may also recite Qul Huwa Allaahu ahad, Qul ‘Aoodhu bi Rabb il-Falaq and Qul ‘a’oodhu bi Rabb il-

naas (i.e., the last three soorahs of the Qur’aan) following every obligatory prayer, and recite these three

soorahs three times at the beginning of the day, after Fajr prayer, and at the beginning of the night, after

Maghrib.

Another dhikr is to recite the last two verses of Soorat al-Baqarah at the beginning of the night. In these

verses Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the

believers. Each one believes in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) “We make

no distinction between one another of His Messengers” — and they say, “We hear, and we obey. (We seek)

Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).”

Page 3: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

286. Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and

he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our

Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord!

Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy

on us. You are our Mawlaa (Patron, Supporter and Protector) and give us victory over the disbelieving

people”

[al-Baqarah 2:285-286]

It is narrated in a saheeh report that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)

said: “Whoever recites Aayat al-Kursiy at night will have protectors from Allaah and no devil will come near

him until morning comes.” And it is reported in a saheeh report that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be

upon him) also said: “Whoever recites the last two verses of Soorat al-Baqarah at night, that will suffice

him.” The meaning – and Allaah knows best – is that they will suffice him against all evil.

You should also frequently recite du’aa’s seeking refuge in the “perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that

which He has created, night and day, when stopping in any place in the city or in the desert, by air or by sea,

because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever makes a stop then says:

‘A’oodhu bi kalimaat Allaah il-taammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah

from the evil of that which He has created),’ nothing will harm him until he moves on from that place.”

At the beginning of the day and at the beginning of the night, the Muslim should say three times: “Bismillaah

illaahi laa yadurru ma’a ismihi shay’un fi’l-ard wa la fi’l-sama’ wa huwa al-samee’ ul-‘aleem (In the name of

Allaah with Whose name nothing is harmed on earth nor in heaven, and He is the All-Hearing, All-

Knowing)” because it is narrated in a saheeh report that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) encouraged that, and that is a means a protection against all evil.

These dhikrs and prayers for protection are among the greatest means of protecting oneself against the evils

of witchcraft and other evils, for the one who recites them regularly and with sincerity, faith and trust in

Allaah, depending on Him and keeping their minds and hearts open to what the evidence says. They are also

one of the greatest weapons for removing the effects of witchcraft once it has taken place; as well as that one

should beseech Allaah a great deal and ask Him to relieve the harm.

Another du’aa’ that has been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) for

treating sickness caused by witchcraft and other things, and which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah

Page 4: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

be upon him) used as a ruqyah to treat his companions, is: “Allaahumma Rabb al-Naas, adhhib al-ba’s

wa’shfi, anta al-Shaafiy, laa shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka, shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqaman (O Allaah, Lord of

mankind, remove the evil and grant healing, for You are the Healer. There is no healing except Your healing,

which does not leave any sickness).” This should be recited three times.

And there is the ruqyah with which Jibreel (peace be upon him) treated the Prophet (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him): “Bismillaah urqeek, min kulli shay’in yu’dheek, wa min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin

haasidin Allaah yushfeek, bismillaah urqeek (In the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you, from

everything that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye may Allaah heal you, in the name

of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you).” This should also be repeated three times

Cure From Black Magic, Jinn & Illness by Shaykh Muhammed Saleem Dhorat

In recent times, people distressed with ailments - internal and external - have resorted to people who cure through ta'weez and, in some cases, through the agency of jinn (or mu'akkal as some call it). I do not intend to go into the depth of the evils that lie within this institution, but would sincerely request readers to take note of the following points with a fair mind and without being biased so that we may be saved from the deceit of Shaytan which is hidden in the form of pious saintly people who claim to have supernatural powers to cure illnesses and solve problems.

1. Illnesses, problems, calamities, quarrels are natural for humans, and one should look for remedy and solution through lawful means. One should not, without any endeavour, assume the problem or illness to be through black magic or an outside effect. Refer to the doctors and have it treated.

2. If one is suffering from anxiety and depression, and cannot find peace of mind, then he/she should check his/her life and see where the Commands of Allah and His Rasool sallallahu alayhi wasallam are being violated. Come nearer to Allah through His Remembrance, for that is where the contentment of heart and peace of mind lies.In the Remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction. (Al Qur (€™aan 13:28¢أ

3. The knowledge of the unseen is an Attribute of Allah the Almighty Only. None in the heavens and on earth knows the unseen except Allah. Many of these "so called" healers claim to know many things of the unseen, and to believe such people could lead one to kufr. Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said, "One who resorts to an arraf (fortune-teller) and asks him about anything, Salaah will not be accepted from him for forty days."(Muslim)

Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has also said, "One who resorts to a kahin (soothsayer/claimant to the knowledge of the unseen) and believes him in what he says, has rejected that which has been sent down to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam."

4. Those who violate the law of Allah cannot be pious. A Walee (Friend) of Allah is one who abstains from disobedience to Allah. Those who touch women, who treat women without any veil or partition, who sit with women in solitude i.e. without a male mahram, how can they possibly be the Friends of Allah. Do not be deceived, friends.

5. In case of doubt, contact your local ulama or those who have been known to you for years for their taqwa, piety and reliability. insha'Allah, their guidance will save you from going into the wrong hands.

NOW TO SAFEGUARD YOURSELF FROM BLACK-MAGICAllah ta'ala, through his Infinite Mercy, has taught His Servants such du'a and recitation which does not only cure, but saves them from the evil effects of black-magic, jinn, etc.:

1. After completing fardh Salat, recite the masnoon waza .€™if and thereafter ayatul kursi¢أ

Page 6: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Note: Ayatul kursi is a verse from Soorah Baqarah starting Allahu laa'ilaaha illaa huwal...(Al Qur (€™aan 2:255¢أ

2. Before going to Sleep, read Ayatul kursi. Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said, "Whoever recites Ayatul kursi at night, a protector (angel) from Allah continually safeguards him and Shaytaan will not come near him until morning."(Bukhari)

3. Read Soorah lkhlas, Soorah Falaq and Soorah Nas after every fardh Salaat. (Read them thrice after the Fair and Maghrib Salat).

4. Before going to sleep, read the last two verses of Soorah Baqarah. Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said, "Whoever recites the last two verses of Soorah Al Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him. " (They will save him from Shaytaan and other misfortunes).(Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi, Aboo Dawood, Nasaee, Ibne Majah)

5. Read the following du :€™a in abundance¢أ

A'oozu bikalimaatil'laahit taam'maati min shar'ri maa khalaq

Translation: I seek refuge in all the Perfect Words Of Allah from the mischief of His Creations.(Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibne Majah)

6. Read the following du'a at the beginning of the day and night:

Bismil'laahil lazi laa yadhur'ru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil ardhi walaa fis samaa'i wahuwas samee'ul 'aleem

Translation: In the Name of Allah with Whose Name nothing can cause harm in the earth and the heaven. And He is All Hearing, All Knowing. (Aboo Dawood, Tirmizi, Ibne Maiah, Hakim)

The above mentioned prayers will, insha'Allah, prevent the evil effects of black-magic and other outside effects. These are measures derived directly from the teaching of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and, if recited regularly, with sincerity, yaqeen and Trust in Allah, then one will never complain of evil-effects.

REMEDY FOR ILLNESSES

Regular recitation of the above mentioned is also effective in removing evil effects. Along with these azkar, turn to Allah, repent sincerely and beseech Him. After all, it is He Only that brings cure to every illness and solution to every problem.

The following du'a are also effective for cure:

Allaahumma rabban naas, azhibil ba's, ishfi antas shaafi, laa shifaa €™a illaa shifaa¢أ ,€™uk¢أshifaa .€™an laa yughaadiru suqman¢أ

Translation: 0 Allah 0 the Lord Of the people! Remove the pain. Grant cure, You are the Curer. There is no cure except Your Cure. Grant such a cure that leaves no sickness. (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi, ibne Majah)

Page 7: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Bismillaahi arqeeka, min kulli shay'in yu'zeeka, wa min sharri kulli nafsin aw 'aynin haasidin, allaahu yashfeeka, bismillaahi arqeeka.

Translation:In The Name of Allah I make damm (blow) upon you from everything which harms you and from the evil ofevery person or jealous eye. May Allah grant you cure. In The Name of Allah I make damm (blow) on you. (Muslim, Ibne Majah)

Once again, remember that those people who violate the laws of Allah, cannot be saintly persons. Seek guidance from ulama who are known to you. Insha .€™Allah, you will not go wrong¢أMay Allah safeguard all Muslims from calamities; may He safeguard their Deen; may He give them the correct understanding of Deen; may He keep them away from every action which is contrary to the teachings of Islam and which brings the Displeasure of Allah. Ameen.

Black magic (sihr) is something that definitely exists and causes harm to people. The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) was also afflicted with black magic.

A Jew by the name of Labid ibn Asim who outwardly posed to be a believer (munafiq) carried out black magic on the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace). He took the hair of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) and made eleven knots and placed it under a rock in a well called Zarwan. The effect of this was that it created uncertainty in the mind of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) as to whether he had done or not done certain things (although this had no effect on his religious and prophetic obligations). At times the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) felt he had accomplished something yet he had not done so and vice versa. The angel Jibra’il informed the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) as to what had occurred and came down with the two Surahs, namely Surah al-Falaq and Surah an-Nas. The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) together with the Companions (Allah be pleased with them all) went to the well and removed the knotted hair. As each verse was recited, the knots untied miraculously. At the eleventh knot, the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) was relieved from the effects of this black magic. (See: Tafisir Ibn Kathir & Ma’arif al-Qur’an)

Thus, scholars mention that the recitation of the Mu’awwazatayn (the two Quls: al-Falaq and al-Nas) is very beneficial in the removing of and protection from black magic. One should make a habit of reciting these especially when retiring to bed and after the Fardh prayers. There are many virtues of these two Surahs mentioned in the Ahadith.

Sayyida A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) narrates that whenever the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) would become ill, he would recite the Mu’awwizat (Surah al-Falaq & Surah an-Nas) and blow over himself. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite these two Surahs (and blow my breath) over him and make him rub his body with his own hand, for its blessings. (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 4728)

Apart from these two Surahs, the recitation of Surah al-Fatiha, Ayat al-Kursi, and last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah is also very beneficial.

Moreover, the famous Tibi’i Ka’b al-Ahbar (Allah be pleased with him) states: “Had it not been for the phrases that I recite regularly, the Jews would have turned me into a donkey (m: out of black magic). It was said to him: “What are these phrases?” He replied:

Page 8: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

(Transliteration): “A’uzu bi wajhillah al-Adhim alladhi laysa shay’un a’dhamu minhu wa bi kalimatillah at-tammati allati la yujawizuhunna barrun wa la fajir wa bi asmaillah al-husna kulliha ma alimtu minha wa ma lam a’lam min sharri ma khalaqa wa bara’a wa zara’a.”

Translation: “I seek the protection of Allah the Great; He, than whom there is nothing greater. And I seek the protection of the perfect words of Allah which no man, virtuous or evil, can even transcend; and I seek the protection of all the beautiful names of Allah, those of them which I know and those which I do not know, from the evil of everything He (Allah) created, to which He has given existence, and which He has spread (over the earth or universe).”

(Recorded by Imam Malik in his al-Muwatta, 2/541, no. 2737)

Thus, the above supplication can be very beneficial in the removing of the effect of black magic.

Also, the consuming of Ajwa dates has been prescribed by the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) as a remedy for black magic.

Amir ibn Sa’d narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “He who eats seven Ajwa dates every morning, will not be affected by poison or magic on the day he eats them.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, no. 5130)

The above are just some of the methods in removing the effect of black magic that have been prescribed in the Sunnah, thus one may resort to any of them. There are also other remedies besides the above, but time does not allow me to mention them all.

Finally, before parting, I would like to state that undoubtedly black magic is something that exits but it is observed that many people experience some type of downfall or illness and quickly jump to the conclusion that somebody has carried out black magic and start pointing fingers at others. If a child refuses to marry someone whom the parents want him/her to marry, then the parents begin to regard it to be the cause of black magic. Similarly, if the relations of the husband and wife turn sour, the first assumption is that it must be black magic that was carried out by such and such person. Black magic is regarded to be the cause behind every minor and major illness.

This type of understanding is incorrect. One should not be too hasty in concluding that the cause of a problem is black magic, because more often than not, black magic has nothing to do with the problem.

Secondly, due to this, many people have made it a business, in that they deceive people in making them believe that they have some sort of black magic done upon them, thus they are charged with a massive sum for the treatment. People have made thousands in this business.

Thus, one should be very careful in these matters, for in it rests the benefit of this world and the hereafter. Do not be too hasty in determining that the cause behind the problem is black magic. However, if there is substantial evidence such as the sudden break of illness, etc, then one may determine whether it is the cause of black magic or otherwise. And in the case of being afflicted with it, one must primarily turn to Allah Most High and resort to the remedies mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah. Also, if the help of others is sought, then one should only turn to those who are god-fearing and pious.

May Allah Most High guide us all towards the right direction, Ameen.

And Allah knows best.

Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari

Protection with Ruqya Shield

From the works of Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Phillips, who made such research.

Conditions According to some Islâmic scholars, both parties to the exorcism must fulfill certain spiritual and legal characteristics for effective treatment to take place. In describing these necessary attributes, Ibn al-Qayyim said:Treatment of fits due to spirit-possession requires two factors on the part of the possessed and on the part of the healer.1) On the part of the possessed it requires (a) personal strength and turning to the Creator of these spirits truthfully, and (b) the correct method of seeking refuge wherein the heart and tongue will be in harmony. Indeed this type of treatment is, in fact, warfare, and the warrior will not be able to defeat his enemy unless he possesses two qualities: that his weapon itself be good and sharp and that his arm be strong. If either of these two conditions are not met, a long sword will be of no value. And if both are missing? The heart which is in a state of desolation and ruin with respect to tawheed (belief in the unity of Allaah), trust in Allaah, fear of Allaah and turning to Him, will have no weapon.2) The requirement on the part of the exorcist is that he also possess both [of the above-mentioned] factors.[23] Ibn Taymeeyah warned:If the possessing demon is an ifreet among jinn and the exorcist is weak, it could harm him. Consequently, he should shield himself by reciting prayers through which he seeks refuge in Allaah, the mu‘awwidhataan[24] and Aayah al-Kursee; by performing formal prayer (salaah); by making supplications and doing other similar things which strengthen his faith; and by putting aside sins through which the evil jinn may gain control over him. Such a person is a soldier of Allaah, and since exorcism is among the greatest forms of jihaad, he should beware not to help his enemy overcome him by his own sins. If the circumstance is beyond his capacity, he should remember that ‘Allaah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity.’ He should not expose himself to tribulation by taking on what he is unable to handle.[25]

Methodology The following steps of exorcism have been deduced from the texts of the Sunnah, the practice of the Prophet’s companions and early scholars. The order in which the steps are mentioned is not intended to be unalterably fixed, but merely a possible sequence which may be followed.First Step: (a) Undo Charm In cases where possession is a result of magic the most effective method of canceling its effects is by finding and undoing the charm used in the bewitchment. Ibn al-Qayyim stated, “Removing the charm and neutralizing it is the most profound treatment.”[26] Once the charm has been found and dismantled, the spell will be broken and the jinnee connected with it will leave the person alone. This was the method used by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) on the occasion of his own bewitchment. Zayd ibn Arqam reported that a Jew, by the name of Labeeb ibn A‘sam [from the Zuraaq clan],[27] cast a spell on the Prophet (pbuh). When he began to suffer from it, Jibreel came to him and revealed the two chapters for seeking refuge (mu‘awwidhataan) and then said to him, “Surely, it was a Jew who cast this spell on you, and the magical charm is in a certain well.” The Prophet (pbuh) sent ‘Alee ibn Alee Taalib to go and fetch the charm. When he returned with it, the Prophet (pbuh) told him to untie the knots, one by one, and to recite a verse from the two chapters with the undoing of each knot. When he did so, the Prophet (pbuh) got up as if he had been released from being tied up.[28] Although destroying the charm is the best method of breaking the spell, it is the most difficult, unless someone confesses or the charm is discovered accidentally. The Prophet (pbuh) only found out the location of the charm by revelation. Consequently, the cases of jinn-possession induced by magic may be treated by the usual method for general demonic possession outlined below.

Page 10: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

First Step: (b) Address It was the practice of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to address the possessing spirit and command it to leave. In his narration Ya‘laa ibn Murrah reported that on one occasion a woman brought her demented son to the Prophet (pbuh). The Prophet (pbuh) said [to the boy], “Get out, enemy of Allaah! I am the Messenger of Allaah!” The boy recovered, and she gave the Prophet (pbuh) a gift of two male sheep, some aqat (dried curd)[29] and fat. Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) said, “Take the aqat, the fat and one of the sheep and return the other.”[30]According to some early scholars, an attempt should be made to communicate with the intruding spirit(s), encouraging it/them to leave by giving advice and admonishment. This procedure was proposed by Ibn Taymeeyah, who said:In the first instance, where possession is due to sexual desire on the jinnee’s part – even with the consent of the human partner – it (i.e., sexual relations) is as forbidden by Allaah as it is among [unmarried] humans. Without the possessed human’s consent it becomes an even graver case of atrocity and oppression. In such circumstances the jinn should be addressed and informed that their acts are either abominable and prohibited or vile and tyrannical. They are informed [of this] so that evidence may he brought against them on the Day of Judgment and that they are made aware that they have broken the laws of Allaah and His Prophet, whom He sent to both worlds – that of men and jinn.In cases of the second category wherein the [possessed] human was unaware that he had harmed a jinnee, the jinnee should be addressed and informed that the human’s act was unintentional and therefore not deserving of punishment. If it (i.e.. the accidental injury) took place in the man’s house or on his property, the jinnee should be informed that the house and property belong to the man and, as such, he is permitted to use them in allowable ways as he pleases. The jinn should also be told that they do not have the right to inhabit human property without the permission of the occupants. They only have a right to dwell in places not occupied by humans, like abandoned buildings and open country.[31][In summary], if the jinn attack a human, they should be informed of Allaah and His Messenger’s ruling on the matter, and proof of their error should be pointed out. They should be instructed to be righteous and to abstain from evil, just as is done with humans, based upon Allaah’s statement:‘We will not punish [the wayward] until a messenger has been sent [to them].’ Qur’aan, 17:15As a result of this obligation, the Prophet (pbuh) forbade the killing of snakes found in houses until after they have been told to leave three times. In Saheeh Muslim and other books of hadeeth there is a narration front Aboo Sa‘eed al-Khudree in which he stated that the Prophet (pbuh) said, “Madeenah has a group of jinn who became Muslims, so whoever sees any snakes [in their homes] should request them to leave three times. If any of them appear after that, he should kill it, because it is a devil.”[32]Second Step: Cursing If the jinnee refuses to respond appropriately by leaving, the exorcist may then use harsh language wherein Allaah’s curse is invoked upon the jinnee. This step was specifically referred to by Ibn Taymeeyah, and he brought evidence in support of it in one of his works, saying, “The commanding of a jinnee to righteousness and its prohibition from evil should be carried out in the same way that humans are admonished. Whatever is allowable in the case of humans is also allowable in the case of jinn. For example, the repelling of jinn might require scolding, threatening and even evoking Allaah’s curse.Aboo ad-Dardaa’ narrated, “Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) stood up [in prayer] and we heard him say, ‘I seek refuge in Allaah from you.’ Then he reached out his hand as if he were catching something, and he said three times, ‘I curse you by Allaah’s curse.’ When he finished praying, we asked him, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, we heard you say something in your prayer which we have never heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your arm.’ He replied, ‘Indeed, Allaah’s enemy, Iblees, brought a fiery torch and tried to thrust it in my face, so I sought refuge in Allaah and cursed him by Allaah’s perfect curse three times. But he did not retreat. So I caught hold of him and, by Allaah, had it not been for the prayer our brother, Sulaymaan,[33] he would have been tied up for the children of Madeenah to play with.[34] This hadeeth provides the foundation for the practice of seeking refuge in Allaah from the jinn and cursing them by Allaah’s curse.”[35]Third Step: (a) Recitations Since the time of the Prophet (pbuh), recitation of the Qur’aan for the sick has been an accepted practice among Muslims. Textual evidence for the use of the Qur’aan in curing illnesses is based upon the following

verses:“We revealed in stages of the Qur’aan that which is a healing and mercy for believers. But for the unjust it only adds to their loss.” Qur’aan 17:82“O mankind, there has come to you [in the Qur’aan] an admonition from your Lord and a healing for the [diseases] in your hearts and, for the believers, a guidance and mercy.” Qur’aan 10:57Soorah al-FaatihahThe companions of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) used to recite chapters and verses of the Qur’aan as a cure for possession as well as other illnesses.The uncle of Khaarijah ibn as-Salt reported that he went to the Prophet and embraced Islaam. During his return journey, fie came across a tribe which had among them a madman fettered in iron chains. The madman’s family said to him, “We have been informed that your companion (i.e., Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) has come with good. Do you have anything with which to treat illnesses?” He recited over him Faatihah al-Kitaab,[36] and he got well. [In another narration it stated: “He recited over him Faatihah al Kitaab every morning and evening for three days. Whenever he would finish his recitation, he would gather his saliva and spit. And he got well.”] They gave him one hundred sheep [but he was in doubt about whether he should accept them] so he went back to Allaah’s Messenger and informed him of the incident. The Prophet (pbuh) asked him, “Did you recite anything else besides this?” He replied that he had not. The Prophet (pbuh) then said, “Take them, for by my religion, whoever devours the payment for a false incantation will be destroyed. Indeed, you have eaten the price of a truthful incantation.”[37]Aboo Sa‘eed al-Khudree said, “While we were on a journey, we dismounted at a place, whereupon a servant girl came to us and said, ‘The chief of our tribe has been stung by a scorpion and our men are not present. Is there anyone among you who can recite incantations?’ A man from among us, whom no one suspected knew incantations, got up and went with her, He subsequently recited over him. When the chief got well, he gave him thirty sheep and gave us milk to drink. On his return we asked him, ‘Did you have previous experience at reciting incantations?’ He replied, ‘No, I only recited over him Umm al-Kitaab.’[38] We agreed not to speak about it until we reached Madeenah and sought the Prophet’s advice. When we arrived and asked the Prophet (pbuh) about it, he said, ‘How did he know that it exorcises? Distribute the sheep among yourselves and set aside a share for me also.’”[39]Aayah al-Kursee[40]Among the greatest weapons which may be used to exorcise the jinn is Aayah al-Kursee, as confirmed in Abu Hurayrah’s narration:Allaah’s Messenger put me in charge of the zakaah of Ramadaan.[41] While I was doing so, someone came and began to rummage around in the food, so I caught hold of him and said, “By Allaah, I am going to take you to Allaah’s Messenger!” But the man implored, “Verily, I am poor and I have dependents. I am in great need.” So I let him go. The next morning the Prophet (pbuh) said, “O Aboo Hurayrah, what did your captive do last night?” I replied, “He complained of being in great need and of having a family, so I let him go.” The Prophet (pbuh) then said, “Surely, he lied to you and he will return.” Since I knew that he was going to return, I laid in wait for him. When he returned and began to dig about in the food, I grabbed him and said, “I am definitely going to take to you to Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh).” Again he pleaded, “Let me go! Verily, I am poor and I have a family. I will not return.” So I had mercy on him and let him go. The next morning Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) said, “Aboo Hurayrah, what did your captive do last night?” I said that he complained of being in great need and of having a family, so I let him go. The Prophet (pbuh) replied, “Surely, he lied to you and he will return.” So I waited for him and grabbed him when he began to scatter food around. I said, “By Allaah, I will take you to Allaah’s Messenger. This is the third time, and you had promised that You would not return; yet you come back anyway!” He said, “Let me give you some words by which Allaah will benefit you.” I said, “What are they?” and he replied, “Whenever you go to bed, recite Aayah al-Kursee from beginning to end. If you do so, a guardian from Allaah will remain with you and Satan will not come near you until the morning.” I then let him go. The next morning the Messenger of Allaah said, “What did your captive do last night?” I said that he claimed that he would teach me some words by which Allaah would benefit me, so I let him go. When the Prophet (pbuh) asked what they were, I told him that they were the saying of Aayah al-Kursee before going to bed. I also told him that he said that a guardian from Allaah would remain with me, and Satan would not come near me until I awoke in the morning. The Prophet (pbuh) said,

Page 12: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

“Indeed he has told the truth, although he is a compulsive liar. O Aboo Hurayrah, do you know with whom you have been speaking these past three nights?” I replied, “No,” and so he said, “That was a devil.”[42]Regarding Aayah al-Kursee Ibn Taymeeyah said:The countless many who have experience in this field unanimously confirm the incredible effectiveness of this verse in warding off the devils and breaking their spells. Indeed, it is greatly effective in repelling the evil jinn from human souls and exorcising them from the possessed as well as those prodded by the devils, like tyrants, those easily enraged, the lustful and lecherous, musicians and those who ecstatically whistle and clap. enraptured by their music. If this verse is sincerely recited over them, it will drive away the devils and neutralize their illusions. It will also disrupt satanic visions and devil-aided, supernatural feats performed by humans.[43]Soorah al-BaqarahAnother means recommended for repelling the devil is reading the second chapter of the Qur’aan, Soorah al-Baqarah (The Cow). Aboo Hurayrah quoted the Prophet (pbuh) as saying,“Do not make your houses like graveyards.[44] Verily, the devil flees from a house in which Soorah al-Baqarah is read.”[45] According to the prophetic traditions, the last two verses of this chapter also have special merit for exorcism. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was reported by an-Nu‘maan ibn Basheer to have said,“When the last two verses of Soorah al-Baqarah are read in a home for three consecutive nights, the devil will not come near it.”[46]Basmalah[47]Also reported to have preventive and curative properties is the basmalah. This is written before each chapter of the Qur’aan, excluding the 9th chapter, and is also found in verse 30 of chapter 27 (Soorah an-Naml).Aboo al-Maalih’s father quoted the Prophet (pbuh) as saying, “Do not say, ‘May Satan be degraded,’ for surely, he will grow until he becomes the size of a house and he will say, ‘By my power, I will possess him.’ Say instead, ‘Bismillaah (‘In the name of Allaah’). If you do that, he will shrink until he becomes the size of a fly.”[48]‘Uthmaan ibn Aboo al-‘Aas ath-Thaqafee reported that when he complained to the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) about a pain which he felt in his body from the time he accepted Islaam, the Prophet (pbuh) said, “Place your hand at the place where you feel the pain in your body and say, ‘Bismillaah’ three times, then say seven times, ‘A‘oodhu billaahi wa qudratihee min sharri ma ajidu wa uhaadhir.’ (‘I seek refuge in Allaah and His power from the evil that I find and (from the evil) that I fear.’)”[49]Ta‘awwudh[50]Seeking refuge in Allaah has been prescribed in some Qur’ânic verses as a means of warding off the devils:“If Satan touches you, seek refuge in Allaah, for verily, He is the Hearer and Knower.” Qur’aan, 41:36 “Say, ‘My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the prodding of the devils, and I seek refuge in You, My Lord, from their presence.’ ” Qur’aan, 23:97In regard to one whose face had become red with anger, the Prophet said,“Verily, I know some words which would cause his anger to subside if he said them. He should say, ‘A‘oodhu billaahi minash-shaytaanir-rajeem.’ (‘I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan, the cursed.’)”[51]Before the recitation of the opening chapter of the Qur’aan in formal prayer, the Prophet (pbuh) used to say,“A‘oodhu billaahi minash-shaytaani min nafkhihee wa nafathihee wa hamzih.” (“I seek refuge in Allaah from the pride, poetry and touch of Satan, the cursed.”)[52]Among the most powerful Qur’ânic formulas for seeking refuge are the last two chapters of the Qur’aan, collectively referred to as the mu‘awwidhataan. According to a number of reports, these two chapters were specifically revealed to break the magical spell which had been placed upon the Prophet (pbuh).[53]The Prophet’s wife, ‘Aa’ishah, also reported that whenever any of the members of the household fell ill, Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) used to blow[54] over them by reciting the mu‘awwidhataan.[55]Adhaan and Iqaamah[56]Both calls to pray have been defined by the Prophet (pbuh) as having the ability to drive away the devils. Aboo Hurayrah reported Allaah Messenger (pbuh) as saying,“When the adhaan is made, Satan runs away and breaks wind to drown it out. When it is finished, he returns, but when the iqaamah is proclaimed, he again turns and runs away. When it is finished, he returns to distract

Page 13: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

a man [praying], saying, ‘Remember such and such; remember such and such,’ referring to something the man did not have on his mind. As a result, he forgets how much he has prayed.”[57]Suhayl reported that his father sent him to the Haarithah clan along with someone. On the way there, a voice from an enclosure called him by his name. When the person with him looked into the enclosure, he saw no one. Upon his return, he mentioned it to his father, who said, “Had I known that you would have met such a situation, I would never have sent you. But whenever you hear such a call, pronounce the adhaan, for I have heard Aboo Hurayrah say that he heard Allaah’s Messenger say, ‘Whenever the adhaan is given, Satan runs away vehemently.’”[58]It was also the practice of the Prophet to recite the adhaan in the ears of children at the time of their birth.Aboo Raafi‘ said, “I saw Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) call the adhaan in the ear of [his grandson] al-Hasan ibn ‘Alee, when Faatimah gave birth to him.”[59] This was to neutralize or to reduce the effect of the devil’s influence on the newborn. According to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), all newborn children are touched by the Devil. He was reported by Aboo Hurayrah to have said, “Satan pricks with his finger every newborn child of Aadam’s descendants. They all begin screaming from Satan’s jab, except Mary and her son [Jesus].”[60]Prophetic PrayersThe Prophet (pbuh) taught a number of prayers for a variety of occasions. Some cure illnesses caused by the jinn and others ward them off. The following are a selection of them:‘Bismillaahi yubreeka wa min kulli daa’in yashfeeka wa min sharri haasidin idhaa hasad[61] wa sharri kulli dhee ‘ayn.”(“In the name of Allaah, may He make you well and may He cure you from every ill, from the evil of the jealous when they envy, and from the harm of the evil eye.”)[62]“Bismillaahi arqeeka min kulli shay’in yu’dheeka, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin haasidin. Allaahu yashfeeka. Bismillaahi arqeek.” (“In the name of Allaah I exorcise you from everything which harms you, from the evil of every soul or jealous eye. May Allaah cure you. In the name of Allaah I exorcise you.”)[63] “A‘oodhu bi kalimaatillaahit-taammati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammatin wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah.”(“I seek refuge with the perfect words of Allaah from every devil, poisonous pest and every harmful evil eye.”)[64]“Adh-hibil-ba’sa rabban-naasi washfi antash-shaafee laa shifaa’a illaa shifaa’uka shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqamaa.” (“Remove the suffering, O Lord of mankind, and heal it perfectly –You are the true healer; there is no cure except Your cure – a cure which is not followed by sickness.”)[65]“Whoever says, ‘Laa i1aaha illallaahu wahdahoo laa shareeka lah, lahulmulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer,’ (‘There is no god but Allaah, Who is alone without partner; the dominion and praise are His, and He is able to do all things,’) one hundred times per day will have a reward similar to freeing ten slaves, one hundred good deeds will be recorded for him, one hundred of his sins erased, and he will have a charm against Satan for the whole day until the night. No one can do better than that except one who does it more often.”[66]“If one of you goes to his wife and says, ‘Allaahumma jannibnash-shaytaana wa jannibish-shaytaana maa razaqta-naa,’ (‘O Allaah, keep Satan away from us and keep Satan away from what (offspring) You have bestowed upon us,’) and they have a child, Satan will not harm him or gain control over him.”[67]“If a man enters his house and remembers Allaah while entering and while eating, Satan says [to his companions], ‘There is no place to pass the night and no dinner.’ But if he enters without remembering Allaah while entering, Satan says. ‘You have caught a place to pass the night.’ And if he does not mention Allaah’s name before eating, he says, ‘You have caught both a place for the night and dinner.’”[68]Third Step: (b) MedicinesThe Prophet (pbuh) prescribed certain natural medicines for sicknesses associated with the jinn.DatesFor protection against magic or for its treatment, the Prophet (pbuh) recommended the eating of dates in the morning. Sa‘d quoted the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) as saying,“Whoever takes seven [Madeenite][69] ‘ajwah[70] dates in the morning, neither magic nor poison will hurt him that day.”[71]TrufflesThe Prophet (pbuh) was reported to have said.“Truffles are a form of manna (mann) and their water is a cure for the eye.”[72]

Page 14: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

BathIn cases of suffering from the evil eye the Prophet (pbuh) recommended taking a bath with water used by the source of the evil eye. Ibn ‘Abbaas quoted Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) as saying,“The effect of the evil eye is real, for if there were anything which could overtake destiny, it would have been [the effect of] the evil eye. So if you are asked to take a bath [as a cure] for the evil eye, do it.”[73]‘Aa’ishah also said that the Prophet (pbuh) used to instruct the possessor of the evil eye to perform ablution (wudoo‘) and then for the one suffering to bathe from its water.[74]Fourth Step: BeatingIf the above-mentioned three steps fail to bring the desired results, the exorcist may then resort to striking the possessed individual in order to inflict pain on the possessing spirit and to elicit a response to commands, prayers or recitations. Ibn Taymeeyah spoke on this subject, saying,Curing a possessed person and removal of the jinn may require that the afflicted individual be beaten several times. However, the blows fall upon the jinn and the possessed human does not feel them. When a demented person regains his senses after a beating, he often informs those present that he did not feel anything, and that they (i.e., the blows) did not have any effect on his body. Even when some are struck over three or four hundred times with severe blows on their feet, the effects of which would normally kill a man, only the jinn feel it. The jinn will scream and yell and inform those present about many things. We have ourselves experienced such cases in the presence of crowds on so many occasions that it would take a long time to describe them all.[75]Ibn Taymeeyah’s student, Ibn al-Qayyim, described an exorcism performed by his mentor in which he struck the patient. He said,Often the shaykh (i.e., Ibn Taymeeyah) would recite in the ear of the insane, “Afa hasibtum annamaa khalaqnaakum ‘abathan wa annakum ilaynaa laa turja‘oon.” (“Do you imagine that We created you in jest and that you will not return to Us?”)[76] He told me that on one occasion he read this verse in a madman’s ear and the possessing spirit replied in a drawn-out voice, “Ye-e-e-e-s.” So he took a stick and beat the man on the veins of his neck until Ibn Taymeeyah’s arm became fatigued from hitting him and those present were sure that that man was dead from the beating. During the beating the jinnee cried out, “I love him.” The shaykh said, “He does not love you.” It said, “I want to make hajj with him.” He replied, “He does not want to make hajj with you.” It said, “I will leave him in your honor.” He replied, “No, do so in obedience to Allaah and His Messenger.” It said, “Then I will leave him.” The madman sat up, looked left and right and said, “Why did I come to the honorable shaykh?” Those present said to him, “What about all of the beating you have received?” he asked, “Why would the shaykh beat me when I have not committed any sin?” He was not at all aware that he had been beaten.[77]The practice of beating was attributed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in a narration related by Umm Abaan from her father, al-Waazi‘, that her grandfather, az-Zaari‘ ibn ‘Aamir al-‘Abdee, went to Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) with his son (or nephew) who was insane. She reported that her grandfather said,When we reached Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) I said, “I have a son [or nephew] with me who is insane. I have brought him to you so that you may pray to Allaah on his behalf.” He said, “Bring him to me.” So I went to get him from the group of riding animals [among which I had left him]. I took off his traveling clothes and dressed him in his good clothes. I then took him by the hand back to the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh). He said, “Bring him closer to me and turn his back to me.” He then grabbed the boy’s garment and began to beat him on the back so vigorously that I saw the whiteness of his (i.e., the Prophet’s) armpits. While doing so, he said, “Get out, enemy of Allaah! Enemy of Allaah, get out!” The boy then began to gaze in a healthy manner quite different from his earlier gaze. Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) then sat him down directly in front of him, called for some water for him and wiped his face. Then he prayed for him. After the Messenger of Allaah had prayed for him, there was no one in the delegation better than him.”[78]This narration is weak, however there is an authentic narration in this regard collected by Ibn Maajah:“When the Messenger of Allaah appointed me as governor of at-Taa’if, something began to appear to me in my salaah so that I wouldn’t know how many rak‘aahs I had prayed. When I noticed that, I traveled to the Messenger of Allaah (pbuh). He said, ‘Ibn Abee al-‘Aas?’ I said ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allaah.’ He said, ‘What brings you here?’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, something appears to me in my salaah, so that I don’t know how many rak‘aahs I have prayed.’ He said, ‘Come close.’ So I came close to him and sat on the

Page 15: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

soles of my feet. He struck my chest with his hand, blew into my mouth and said, ‘Get out, Enemy of Allaah!’ He did that three times, then said, ‘Resume your duty.’ After that, I swear I was never confused [in my salaah].”[79]

Worldwide Victims of Exorcism or Witchcraft

Last month in the city of Milwaukee, an autistic American boy has died during an aggressive exorcist ceremony held by members of the Faith Temple Church to supposedly cure him of the evil spirits.

Those involved in the ceremony, were arrested shortly after the incident on suspicion of physically abusing the child. In January 2003, a Japanese exorcist has been arrested along with his eight "disciples" on suspicion of fraud, after taking millions of yens in fees for performing exorcism rites on the public. A 1991 exorcism in Florida of a young girl was filmed for US network television.

Media reports say that in other countries such as Greenland and Swaziland, top civil servants used exorcists

Page 18: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

to chase away evil spirits in government offices and promote better harmony between the employees. These incidents had prompted local indignation.

Despite the advances in science and psychiatry, magical rites or exorcism is actually more popular in many countries and the exorcists have a strong International Association.

It is believed that spirits or demons cause mental illness and thus the mentally ill persons become the objects of beatings, restraint, and starvation-of the victim to drive the evil spirits out, instead of receiving care from physicians. So many fraudsters claim to have psychic power and cheat the victims and their families.

It is reported that Pope John Paul II himself performed exorcism during his papacy. The boom in new religions and the growth in spiritual confusion are being blamed for the rising tide of exorcisms or witchcraft being performed around the world without distinction between cases of mental illness and demonic influence.

Historical background

Many religions in various parts of the world continue the practice of exorcism. In the Christian and Jewish traditions, exorcism is an adjuration addressed to demons or evil spirits to force them to abandon a possessed object, place, or person; technically, a ceremony used in religious traditions to expel demons from persons who have come under their power.

In general, the term exorcism denotes prayers to "curb the power of the devil and prevent him from doing harm." It is written in Holy Scripture, "your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour." (1 St.Peter 5,8)

The rites and practices to ward off or to expel evil spirits are also a form of exorcism. In the Roman Catholic Church, exorcism is an order that priests may practice with special permission.

It is mainly used as a preparation for the sacrament of baptism. This practice is usually performed by a priest, shaman or a person with special religious authority, with a Bishop's permission.

The Bible includes a number of references to demons and exorcism. The New Testament describes occasions when Jesus Christ expelled demons and evil spirits by prayer and the power of his command. His followers and others as well, drove out demons "in his name."

In the first two centuries of the Christian era, the power of exorcism was considered a special gift that might be bestowed on anyone, lay or cleric. About AD 250, however, there appeared a special class of the lower clergy, called exorcists, to whom was entrusted this special function.

About the same time, exorcism became one of the ceremonies preparatory to baptism, and it has remained a part of the Roman Catholic baptismal service. The exorcism of persons possessed by demons is carefully regulated by canon law in the Roman Catholic Church, and the elaborate rite is contained in the Roman ritual.

Exorcism Today

The leading Christian exorcist Father Jeremy Davies, from the Westminster Diocese, believes that the incidence of the demonic influence on the whole is rising. To cope with the modern rise in demonic influences, more exorcisms need to be performed and thus the Vatican is promoting greater distribution of its new manual on exorcism.

Page 19: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

In Britain, each Catholic diocese has an exorcist, but they are forbidden to speak publicly about the ritual and are rarely identified. One new rule by the Vatican is to ban media coverage of exorcisms.

The Japanese exorcist is suspected of charging more than 1,000 people between 30,000 and 1 million yen (253-8,449 dollars) for an exorcism.

Most of the victims were believed to be women in their 20s or 30s, the Daily Yomiuri said. The group allegedly operated in the Tokyo area, as well as in Nagoya, Osaka and Kanagawa prefecture.

In January 2003, in Greenland there was a row over a top Greenland civil servant who used an exorcist to chase away evil spirits in government offices.

Jens Lyberth, the home rule government's newly appointed manager, also urged nearly 600 civil servants to use similar spiritual healing methods in an attempt to promote better harmony between them.

The healer told Greenland Radio that she "contributed to restoring the respect for the special Greenland spirit that has been suppressed for too long".

A church pastor in Swaziland has performed a ceremony to cleanse the offices of Swaziland's government officials.

Reverend Advent Dlamini, performed the rituals by reading out biblical verses condemning devilish activities in the office in front of journalists and the entire staff.

New Guidelines

In January 1999, the Roman Catholic Church has revised its exorcism rituals for the first time in nearly 400 years. Pope John Paul II himself has approved the guidelines for deciding when and how to perform exorcisms, last issued in 1614.

Except for some new formulas for priests authorised by bishops to read during exorcisms, the text is largely unchanged. What is new is the caution that determines if exorcism is warranted.

"The exorcist will decide with prudence" after consulting with spiritual experts and "if considered opportune, with experts in medical and psychiatric science," the new rules stress.

The rite of official Roman Catholic exorcism itself remains essentially the same, including making the sign of the cross, sprinkling holy water and ordering the devil to leave the possessed person.

People convinced they are victims of the "evil eye" and other curses do not need exorcisms, say the rules, but special prayers are suggested.

In November 2000, the Catholic Church has issued strict new rules governing exorcism. Vatican insiders say the guidelines - which include getting permission from a bishop, and discouraging media coverage - are aimed at controlling a popular African bishop who lives in Rome.

Emmanuel Milingo was summoned to Rome 18 years ago from his native Zambia when European missionaries complained that he was using the practices of African witchdoctors.

The Vatican believed it could keep a closer eye on Archbishop Milingo there, and put him in a flat next door to the Apostolic Palace. But exorcism has gained him a wide following in Europe. Vatican attempts to ban him from preaching in Rome and Milan have merely led him to hold masses elsewhere.

Page 20: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The "instruction" from the Vatican says that it is legitimate to pray for relief from suffering, but says that exorcisms must be carried out according to the letter of the law laid down in 1999 - the first update of the exorcism service since 1614.

The new guidelines say the atmosphere at exorcisms must be kept under control. "Anything resembling hysteria, artificiality, theatricality or sensationalism should be absent from such gatherings, above all on the part of those who are in charge," one said.

It is reported that Pope John Paul II himself once performed exorcism during his papacy. The Italian news agency ANSA said he carried out the rite in 1982, driving out the devil from a woman who was brought to him.

Father Davies, a former doctor and a co-founder of the 200-strong International Association of Exorcists, warned there was a tendency in the West to mistake the spiritual for the psychological. This, he said, was opposed to the African continent where the reverse was true.

The 1998 manual, which replaces the one in use since 1624, was translated from Latin for distribution to bishops and exorcists around the world. The 90-page ritual, entitled (On Every Kind of Exorcism in Supplication) encourages priests to spend more time in prayer with the possessed person.

A Vatican commission of theologians and liturgists has been working on the manual for the past 20 years. It retains much of the symbolism of the original, but tones down the most aggressive imprecations against the devil. This article is from www.islamweb.net

I have started out with this article to show the importance and need for proper knowledge of Ruqyah to be spread out around the world by the will of Allah.

Regarding how sihr begins to take effect on victims:

In Sword against Black Magic and Evil Magicians, Wahid Abdussalam Bali goes on to say, "The agreement between a Sahir (magician) and a Demon

In most cases, an agreement is set up between a sahir (magician) and a demon, requiring that the former commit certain pagan rituals, wether secretly or openly, and the latter provide the services he needs or send someone to do the job. Usually the agreement is set up between a sahir and one of the chiefs of the tribe of the jinn and demons. The chief instructs one of the tribes disrespectful demons to work for the sahir, obeying it's orders and informing him of past events, causing seperation of a man from his wife, a love spell between two people, making someone incompetent and other conditions.

Distinctive Features of A Sahir's Work

If you find one of these following charcteristics in a person who treats people suffering from sihr or other relate illnesses, then this person is definetly a sahir (magician).

1.) He asks the patient his and his mother's names.

2.) He takes a sweaty garment from the patient (a piece of cloth, hat ect..)

Page 21: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

3.) He sometimes asks for an animal, with certain specifications, in order to slaughter it without saying the name of Allah. He may use the sacrificial blood to stain some painful areas of the patient, or throw the carcass in on a ruined site.

4.) He writes incantations.

5.) He recites unclear incantations 6.) He gives the patient a hijab (incantation written on a piece of paper), which contains squares within which letters or figures are written.

7.) He instructs the patient to isolate himself/herself in a dark room and to not talk to people for a certain period of time.

8.) He sometimes instructs the patient to not touch water for a certain period of time, usually forty days. This indicates the this particular jinn working for the sahir is Christian.

9.) He gives the patient some items to bury in the ground.

10.) He gives the patient some pieces of paper to burn to use as incens for their body.

11.) He murmurs unclear words.

12.) He sometimes informs the patient his name, his town and the reason for his visit.

13.) He writes broken letters on a piece of paper (hijab) or on a plate made of white porcelain, and instructs the patient to dissolve the writing in water, and then drink it."

Shaykh Sulaymaan al-‘Alwaan (www.islam-qa.com) had this to say about practioners of magic:

" Magic in all its forms in haraam according to all divinely-revealed laws, and there is scholarly consensus that magic and learning magic are haraam. Magic goes against that which the Messengers brought and it opposes the purpose for which the Books were revealed. Most of the scholars were of the view that the one who practices magic is a kaafir whom the authorities are obliged to execute.

”but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, ‘We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us “‘(

]Quran al-Baqarah 2:102[

This proves that magic is kufr (disbelief.(

Once it is proven that a person is guilty of practicing magic, then he must be killed. This was proven from a group of the Sahaabah, but it is not for individuals to carry out this hadd punishment without the command of the ruler or his deputy, because carrying out the hadd punishments without the authority of the ruler may

lead to mischief, and destroy any sense of security in the society, and undermine the position of the ruler.

Magic In The Exorcist Tradition, Bilal Phililps

Real Magic is the product of satanic intervention. Both the acts of magic and the effects of spells on humans involve the agency of jinn. Al-Aaloosee addressed the issue saying, saying, " What is meant by magic is an

Page 22: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

act which resembles a miracle but is not, because it (magic) is learned. And in order to perform it, the help of the devil is sought by pleasing him with abominable acts. [These acts may be in the form of ] statements, like incantations containig phrases of shirk (polytheism) and praises of satan; acts like acts, like planet worship, and an adherence of crime and licentiousness;and beliefs, like the preference and love of whatever is neccessary to please [the devil]. " [ Rooh al-Ma'aanee, vol.1, p.338.] ll

Dr. Umar al-Ashqar explicitly stated, "Real magic is that in which the magician relies upon the devil. Our (Rubb) Lord, whose knowledge encompasses all things , has informed us that it was the devils

who who taught mankind magic :

' And they followed what the devils used to read during the rule of Sulaiman(Solomon - peace and blessings be upon him); and Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved - they teach people magic; and that which was sent down to the two angels, Harut and Marut in Babylon; and the two (angels) never taught a thing to anyone until they used to say, "We are only a trial, therefore do not lose your faith" and they used to learn that by which they cause division between man and his wife; and they cannot harm anyone by it except by Allah’s command; and they learn what will harm them, not benefit them; and surely they know that whoever bargains for this will not have a share in the Hereafter; and for what an abject thing they have sold themselves; if only they knew!" [Quran 2:102] e

A good example of the relationship of magic to possession can also be seen in the incident in which 'Abdulla ibn Mas'ud found his wife wearing a knotted cord necklace and asked her about its purpose. She informed him that it was given to by a Jewish magician and that a spell had been placed on it to stop her eye from discharging, which it did. Ibn ' Mas'ud snatched it from her neck, told her it was caused by a jinnee, who desisted when the spell was placed on her." [See Sunan Dawud, vol.3, p. 1089, no.3874] j

Symptoms of Magic for Seperation of two people

A sudden change from love to hate

A great deal of suspicion is aroused by between the two parties concerned No excuses are accepted by either party even if one of them is in the wrong

Exaggerating the causes of disputes between two people even if they may be\ trivial

Changing the mental image of that they have for each other so that they see the other one in an ugly way even even though the other one might be beautiful. in reality it is the demon who is entrusted with the task of performing this type of sihar is the one who would appear to the person as the other in a ugly way

The person affected by sihar hates anything that the other person does The person affected by sihar also hates the place in which the other party stays. For instance, a husband may be in a good mood when he is out doors but when he gets home he feels quite depressed

According to Ibn Kathir, the cause of seperation between two spouses through this sihr is that each of them appears to the other as an ugly or ill mannered person. (Tafsir ibn Kathir1:144) ds

The Evil Eye

A part of Islamic traditional belief is the concept of a type of glance capable of casing harm to those whom it befalls. Ibn Abaas reported the Prophet

ExorcismsFatwa

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

We ask Allah to cure you and protect you from all misfortunes. We emphasize on seeking help from Allah and having unshakable trust in Him, He is the Best Protector and Most Merciful. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {Is not Allah Sufficient for His slave?}[39:36]. He also Says: {And if Allah touches you with

harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things.}[6:17]. Allah also Says: {And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And

whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him.}[65:3.[What you are enduring may be due to magic or evil eye or influence of jinn or merely a physical disease or

complex thoughts etc. However, regardless of what it is, we would like to give you some guidelines that are useful in the case of magic, evil eye or epilepsy.

First, give up all kinds of complex thoughts and delusions. They strike one only when his faith is distorted, or when he fails to have the strong trust in Allah, and does not have the sufficient knowledge of Shariah.

Ibn Qayyim said: A bewitched person brings harm for himself because he gets attracted by something and heeds to it thus it overrides his heart due to his deep love and attraction .

Second, using the legal incantations i.e. the verses of Qur'an and Prophetic supplications. Ibn al-Qayyim said: Among the Shariah incantations; frequently reciting the Mu'awwazatain (last two chapters from

Qur'an), Surah al-Fatihah, Ayah al-Kursi and the supplications that are reported from the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) such as "A'uzhu Bi Kalimati Allahit Tammati Min Sharri Ma Khalaq". (I seek

refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.("And "A'uzhu Bi Kalimati Allahit Tammati Min Kulli Shaitanin Wa Hammatin Wa Min Kulli Aynin

Laammtin". (I seek protection with Allah's perfect words from every Satan and crawling creature and every evil eye .('.

Anyone who keeps on reciting the above supplications knows their benefits and even recognizes how badly a Muslim is in need of those supplications .

In addition, one should bear in mind that the supplications are like a weapon which itself cannot bring any benefit rather the benefits depend on its user, how effectively he uses the weapon. Therefore, one should

supplicate using the authentic supplications properly i.e. the heart should act in accordance with the tongue besides having strong faith in Allah.

Third, reciting Qur'an, and authentic supplications upon the affected person could dispel the effect of magic and evil eye.

Fourth, avoiding to become entrapped by jugglers and magicians who take away peoples' money wrongfully. Ahmad narrated that the Prophet said: Whoever goes to a soothsayer or a fortune-teller and

Page 25: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

believes him he has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him .(Fifth, being steadfast on the path of Shariah internally and externally. The Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa

Sallam) said: Do not go beyond the limits of Allah, Allah will protect you… [ al-Tirmizi[ Ibn al-Qayyim said: Most of the time evil Jinn affect only due to lack of sound Islamic knowledge and

ruination of hearts .He also quoted from some Salaf as saying: If a heart is full of the remembrance of Allah and Satan comes near to such heart, he (the person) will strike down the Satan. The other Satans will come to their defeated

fellow and ask about what happened to him? It will be said that the human being has affected him .So, a Mumin overcomes a Satan with his strong faith as reported in Musnad Ahmad that the Prophet (Salla

Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: A Mumin emaciates his Satan as you emaciate your riding camel .Know that the conspiracy of Satan is very weak; nothing will befall you except what had already been

decreed by Allah. So, by being steadfast on the path of Shariah, following the rulings of Shariah and avoiding the prohibitions you may protect yourself from Satans of Jinn as well as those of human beings.

Allah knows best.just wanted to inquire about the cures for magic or jinn possessions. I will post some symptoms of the

person concerned

*sudden loss of interest in socializing, even with very close relatives.

*unexplained physical and mental pressures when reciting the Qur'aan or the kalima or namaz.

*nervousness of being with people or looking at people, this could be explained as lack of confidence but it is not, the person concerned is quiet confident. Another sign is that other people that come in contact

with that person become nervous which can be detected from their appearance.

*sudden significant DECREASE IN MEMORY, even though the person concerned has had very good memory in the past and has won prizes in Qur'aan memorization competitions and he is just a teenager to

have brain diseases such as Alzheimer.

*all these symptoms have started quite at the same time about 2-3 years a go and has worsen since (except the memory problem which started in the last 15 months .(

*his fathers family have contacts with people that practice magic and the person concerned has no good relations with his father and his relatives.

I would really thank u for your input on whether this might be caused form magic or jinn possession (or not), and if it is, the possible cures for them.

FatwaAll 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, may Allaah exalt his mention as well as

that of his family and all his companions.

The symptoms that you had mentioned about the patient like neglecting to socialize with people, mental

and physical pressures when reading the Qur'aan, getting nervous when being with people or looking at

them, sudden loss of memory, and the fact that the people who get near to him or deal with him get

nervous as well, and so forth, are more likely to be magic rather than being possessed by Jinn. No matter

Page 26: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

what the condition is, the cure is in the Book of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of meaning): {And We

send down from the Qur'aan that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islaamic

Monotheism and act on it).}[17:82.[

It is also reported that the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, used to make Ruqyah (to read some

Qur’aanic verses and prophetic supplication) by reading chapters number: 112, 113, and 114. The Prophet,

sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: "These chapters are the best for seeking refuge in Allaah." [Muslim] A

treatment for magic is to read the verses in which magic is mentioned or have someone read over the

patient, like the saying of Allaah (interpretation of meaning): {Then when they had cast down, Moosaa

(Moses) said: "What you have brought is sorcery, Allaah will surely make it of no effect. Verily, Allaah

does not set right the work of Al-Mufsidoon (the evil-doers, corrupts, etc.)}[10:81]. One can also protect

himself by the legislated mention of Allaah, like the designated remembrance of the morning and the

evening, and by being in a state of ablution all the time. Another method of treatment for the patient is to

read or have someone read for him the verses of the Qur'aan on water and oil, like reading the beginning of

chapter As-Saaffaat [37] and the Ad-Dukhaan [44.[

In addition to this, one can seek refuge in Allaah by saying the following supplications:

"I commend you to the protection of Allaah's perfect words from every devil, vermin and every evil eye.",

"I take refuge in Allaah's perfect words from the evil He has created.", "In the Name of Allaah with whose

name nothing is harmed on Earth nor in the heavens and He is the Samee' (The All-Hearing), the

Al-'Aleem (The All-Knowing)". One should read each of the above supplications three times then blow on

the water and olive oil. The patient should drink the water and massage his body with it (or have someone

massage him). But the patient should believe that the cure is from Allaah and that the treatment is

beneficial only with the Will of Allaah.

This person has to repent to Allaah about the bad relations with his father. It could be that what had

happened to him was due to bad relations with his father. The family of the patient has to cut relations with

the people who practise magic, as magic is one of the seven destructive great major sins. Indeed it is

forbidden to go to magicians as this is considered one of the greatest major sins .

The Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said: "A person who goes to a soothsayer or magician or diviner

and asks him (about something) and believes his sayings, he has indeed disbelieved in what has been

revealed to Muhammad, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam (i.e. the Message of Islaam.)." [Al-Bayhaqi and Abu

Imam Ibn Hajar reported in his book "al-Fath" from Wahab Bin Munaabbih the way of using leaves of Sidr (Lotus jujube) as a remedy to get rid of the witch. He said: 'One should take seven leaves of green Lotus

jujube, grind them between two stones, put the stones and the leaves in some water. Then take out the two stones. Having done so, one recites the verses of Kursi, (2:255) and the last three Surah (chapters) of the

Qur'an (112,113,114). After that, one drinks three sips of that water and showers himself with what remains from it. One will - Insha Allah - feel delighted of what he had. This is particularly useful for the

Dear sister, At first, it is badly needed to state that magic is made up of blowing on knots, incantations and secret plotting - in written or spoken forms. For sure, it produces an effect on the bewitched one's mind, heart or even body, but by Allah's will. Allah Says in the Holy Qur'an (Interpretation of meaning): {But

they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's permission}.[2:102] Without a doubt, magic is not only Haram (forbidden), but also one of the seven grave sins. The Beloved Prophet (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Avoid the seven grave sins. The companions asked: O Messenger of Allah!

What are these grave sins? He answered: Making anybody or anything as partner with Allah; practising magic; killing without justification a living being whose like has been declared sacred by Allah; practising

usury; misappropriating the property of an orphan, running away during the battle and slandering chaste, innocent believing woman" . Bukhari and Muslim. One is liable to be affected with magic. He may know of being bewitched, but can not find out reasons, except feeling some changes in his behaviour or nature.

So, treatment can be achieved via: (1) bringing the magic out, or (2) reciting some specific passages of the Holy Qur'an on a vessel of water and then, drinking from the vessel and showering oneself. These passages

comprise:1: al-Fatiha or Sura 1. 2 :Sura 2: verse 255. 3 :Sura 2: verses 285-286. 4 :Suras 113-114. 5 :Sura 7: verses

18-122. 6 :Sura 10: verses 80-82. 7 :Sura 20: verse 69. In addition to that, one has to do good actions regularly, avoid evil and forbidden things and remember Allah much, especially by repeating the known

forms of remembrance specific to the morning and evening in their specific times. Allah knows best.

Spiritual Warfare Prayer Ruqyah III

Stop. If you have not read Spiritual Warfare Prayer I and/or Spiritual Warfare Prayer II yet please go back and read them. This is the third of a four part series.

Page 29: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

As you read Spiritual Warfare Prayer II you learned about Satans hatred for mankind and many of his devious ways and tricks. It is very important to understand how to be close to the only God whose name is Allah, to worship him at all times and to stay away from that which he has forbidden to protect our selves from the evil plots of satan. It is detrimental to the well being of the Muslims heart that we adhere to the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) correctly and follow all of his righteous and blessed advice; this is especially true when it comes to daily supplications and thikr of Allah Ta'ala. Allah says in interpretation of Quran: "Therefore remember me, and I will remember you. Be grateful to Me and never show me ingratitude"

Quran 2:152

"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest."

Quran 3:134

"And the men and women who remember Allah frequently, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward."

Quran 33:35

"Whoever sits and does not mention the name of Allah (before he rises) will find it a cause of sorrow from Allah. Whoever lies down to to sleep and does not mention the name of Allah before rising will find it a cause of sorrow from Allah."

hadith Abu Dawud 4/264

"Or do you think you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty, ailments and were shaken."

Quran 2:214

How to get up and Pray on time by the permission of Allah

Prayer if done correctly can be a shield for us from hell fire and shaitans plots. it is very important that we

oblige by Allah rules and laws as they are to grant ease for us in this life and the next from hardship. In

www.islamweb.net, #7043 the students of knowledge had this to say:

"It is a bad deed of a worshipper to think about worldly matters while he/she is prayer saying: "You alone we

worship, and You alone we seek for help". (www.islamweb.net) "Fajr prayer is of great importance in the

sight of Allah, as well as all other obligatory prayers. Allah says: "Perform As-Salat (Iqamât-as salat) from

mid-day till the darkness of the night (i.e. the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha' prayers), and recite the Qur'an

in the early dawn (i.e. the Morning Prayer). Verily, the recitation of the Qur'an in the early dawn is ever

witnessed (attended by the angels in charge of mankind of the day and the night)"(Al-Isra 17:78), i.e. it is

witnessed by the angels of the night and the angels of the day.

Page 30: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "Congregational prayers are 25 times better than individual

prayers, and the angels of the night and those of the day meet at Fajr prayer." Reported byAl-Bukhari.

What also proves that Fajr prayer is important is that the prophet considered missing Fajr prayer in

congregation a sign of hypocrisy.

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "There is no prayers more difficult for hypocrites (to

perform) than al-Fajr and al-Isha. But had they known what is in them (the great reward of these prayers)

they would have come to them (these two prayers) even crawling (if they cannot walk)." Reported by Al-

Bukhari.

So Fajr prayer is of great importance and you have to take the following means to wake up to perform it on

time:

1. To sleep early.

2. To recite the remembrance of Allah when going to bed, and to sleep after performing a Wudu.

3. To set the alarm clock on the appropriate time.

4. To ask a person who prays Fajr on time to wake you up, either a member of your family or a friend

by telephoning you.

5. Not to get exhausted by doing hard work.

6. To supplicate Allah as much as you can to enable you to wake up on time.

If you take all the above measures, you will InshaAllah wake up and pray on time."

www.islamweb.net #7043

The Five Levels of Prayer

Ibn al-Qayyim writes in his book al-Wabil al-Sayyib:

· The first is the level of the one who wrongs himself and is negligent. He does not do

wudu properly, or pray at the right time or make sure he does all the necessary parts of prayer.

· The second is one who observes the outward essentials of prayer, prays on time and

does wudu, but he has lost the battle against his own self and is overwhelmed with waswaas

(insinuations).

· The third is one who observes the outward essentials of prayer, prays on time and

does wudu, and also strives against his own self and against waswaas, but he is preoccupied with his

struggle against his enemy (Shaytan), lest he steal from his prayer, so he is engaged in salah and jihad

at the same time.

Page 31: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

· The fourth is one who when he stands up to pray, he fulfils all the requirements of

the prayer, and his heart is fully focused and alert lest he omit anything, and his concern is to do the

prayer properly and perfectly. His heart is deeply immersed in his prayer and worship of his Lord.

· The fifth is one who does all of that, but he takes his heart and places it before his

Lord, looking at his Lord with his heart and focusing on Him, filled with love and adoration, as if he

is actually seeing Him. That waswaas and those thoughts diminish, and the barriers between him and

his Lord are lifted. The difference between the prayer of this person and the prayer of anyone is else

is greater than the difference between heaven and earth. When this person prays, he is preoccupied

with his Lord and content with Him.

The first type is punishable; the second is accountable; the third is striving so he is not counted as a sinner; the fourth is rewarded and the fifth is drawn close to his Lord, because he is one of those for whom prayer is a source of joy. Whoever finds their joy in prayer in this life, will find their joy in being close to Allah in the Hereafter, and will also find his joy in Allah in this world. Whoever finds his joy in Allah will be content with everything, and whoever does not find his joy in Allah, will be destroyed by his feelings of grief and regret for worldly matters."

It is important that as a Musim you fulfil you obligations of doing morning and evening supplications to make sure that you are properly praising Allah and protecting your self from harm by the permission of Allah.

Among the means of treating ailments: the saheeh haseeth narrated from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him):

“There is no believer who is stricken by anxiety, distress or grief, and he says, ‘Allaahumma inni ‘abduka ibnu ‘abdika ibnu amatika, naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka, as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw asta’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘indaka an taj’ala al-Qur’aan al-‘azeem rabee’a qalbi wa noora sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi wa ghammi (O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or taught to any of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Holy Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety and distress)’, but Allaah will relieve him.” This is one of the medicines prescribed in sharee’ah.

Similarly, one may say,

“Laa ilaaha illa anta, subhaanaka, inni kuntu min al-zaalimeen (none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allaah), Glorified (and Exalted) be You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers)”

[cf. al-Anbiyaa’ 21:87]

Page 32: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

If you want to know more, please refer to the writings of the scholars on the topic of adhkaar (dhikr, remembering Allaah), such as al-Waabil al-Sayyib by Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Karim al-Tayyib by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, al-Adhkaar by al-Nawawi, and Zaad al-Ma’aad, by Ibn al-Qayyim.

But when faith grows weak, the soul’s acceptance of remedies prescribed in sharee’ah also grows weak. People nowadays have begun to rely on physical medicines of U.S Doctors as well as new age medicine that consists of different mixes of plants and herbs, more than on the spiritual remedies prescribed in Islam. But when faith is strong, the spiritual remedies prescribed in Islam have a more complete effect; their effect may be faster than that of physical medicines. We are all aware of the story of the man whom the Messenger SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent on a campaign. He camped near some Arabs, but those people near whom he camped did not show him any hospitality. Allaah willed that their chief should be stung by a snake, and they said to one another, “Go to those people who are camped (near us), maybe you will find a raaqi (one who recites ruqyah, i.e., incantations or prayers for healing) with them.” The Sahaabah said to them, “We will not recite ruqyah for your chief until you give us such and such number of sheep.” They said, “We agree.” Then one of the Sahaabah went and recited over the one who had been stung; he recited Soorat al-Faatihah only, then that person who had been stung got up as if he was released from a chain.

This recitation of al-Faatihah had such an effect in this man because it came from a heart that was filled with faith. When they came back, the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “How didyou know that it is a ruqyah?”

But in our own times there is this weakness of religious commitment and faith, and people have started to rely on outward physical matters, and this is causing them further suffering. Sometimes it is the body that has told a lie not that the ruqya has not worked.

One hadeeth, reported by Bukhari, states that a man came to the Prophet (SAWS) because his brother had a stomach disorder. The Prophet said, "Let him drink honey." The man returned a second time and again the Prophet (SAWS) responded again, "Let him drink honey." The man returned again, and said, "I have done that." The Prophet then responded, "Allah has said the truth, butyour brother's stomach has tolda lie. Let him drink honey." He drank it and was cured.

On the other hand there are those who cheat people and deceive them, claiming to be pious reciters of Qur’aan, but they consume people’s wealth unlawfully. People are of two extremes, one which thinks that recitation of Qur’aan has no effect at all, and the other extreme composed of cheaters who deceive people by reciting devious recitations, and some are moderate.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/465, 466

But as there is no contradiction between using permissible physical medicines as prescribed by doctors and using spiritual medicines such as ruqyah and seeking refuge with Allaah and other du’aa’s that are proven in sound reports, the two may be combined, as the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did. It was proven that he used both kinds of treatment, and he said, “Strive to pursue that which will benefit you and seek refuge with Allaah, and do not feel helpless.” And he said: “Seek treatment, O slaves of Allaah, but do not seek treatment with things which are haraam.”

Six-Remembrance of Allah & Recitation of the Qur'an

Send not away those who call on their Lord in the morning and the evening--< So remember Me-I will remember you. (Quran 2:152)-->

Page 33: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Even if this were the only reward for the remembrance of Allah, it would be mercy and honour enough, for such a heart is always aware and free from wrong actions.

Although remembrance is one of the easiest forms of worship, the mercy and honour that it brings cannot be acheived by any other means. Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet *saaws* said, "Whoever recites the words, "There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and All praise is due to Him, and He is Powerful over everything', one hundred times every day, there is a reward equal to freeing ten slaves for him, and a hundred good actions are recorded for him, and a hundred wrong actions are removed from his record. That is a safeguard for him against shaytan on that day until evening, and no one brings anything more excellent than this, except the one who has done more than this (that is, who recites these words more than one hundred times)."1

Jabir reported that the Prophet *saaws* said, "Whoever recites the words, "Glory be to Allah and His is the praise', will have a palm tree planted for him in the Garden."2

Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "To Praise Allah, may He be Exalted, is more dear to me than spending the same number of dinars (as the number of times I praise Him) in the way of Allah."

Remembrance of Allah is a remedy for hard hearts. A man once told al-Hassan, "O Abu Sa'id, I complain to you about the hardness of my heart." He said, "Soften it with the remembrance of Allah." Makhul said, "Remembrance of Allah is (a sign of) health, while remembrance of people is like a disease." A man once asked Salman, "Which deeds are the best?" He said, "Haven't you read in the Qur'an:

--<* And the remembrance of Allah is greatest. (Quran 29:45)<*-:

Abu Musa once related that the Prophet *saaws* said, "The difference between the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not is like the difference between the living and the dead."3

Abdullah ibn Busr related that a man once told the Prophet *saaws*, "The roads to good are many and I am unable to take all of them, so please tell me something to which I can hold fast, but do not overburden me lest I forget it." He said, "Make sure that your tongue is moist and supple with the remembrance of Allah, the Exalted."4

Continual remembrance of Allah increases a servant's good witnesses on the Day of Resurrection. It is a means which prevents him from talking in the wrong way, such as backbiting and spreading tales and their like. Either the tongue is mentioning Allah and remembering Him, or it is talking incorrectly.

Whoever has the gates of remembrance opened to him has an opening to his Lord, Mighty and Glorious is He, through which he will find what he seeks. If he finds Allah, he has found everything. If he misses the opportunity, he has missed everything.

There are several types of remembrance. The remembrance of the Names of Allah, Mighty and Glorious is He, the remembrance of His Attributes, and praising Him and thanking Him. All of these can take the form of saying, for example, 'Glory be to Allah', 'Praise be to Allah', 'There is no god but Allah'. A servant can also remember Allah by referring to His Names and Attributes, such as by saying, for example, "Allah, Mighty and Glorious is He, Hears all that his servants say and do"; or by mentioning what He has commanded and what He has forbidden, such as saying, "Allah, the Mighty and Glorious, commands such and such, or forbids such and such."

Page 34: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

A servant can also remember Allah by talking about His blessings, while the best type of remembrance is the recitation of the Qur'an, because this contains remedies to cure the heart from all illnesses. Allah, the Exalted, says:

--<*O mankind, there has come to you a protection from your Lord and a healing for what is in your hearts, and for those who believe, a guidance and a mercy. (Quran 10:57)-->

And also

--<* We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy for those who believe. (Quran 17:82)>--*

All the illnesses of the heart result from desires and doubt, and the Qur'an is a cure for both. It has enough clear signs and proofs to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and thus it cures the diseases of doubt which ruin knowledge, understanding and perception, by enabling a person to see things as they really are.

Whoever studies the Qur'an, and allows it to be absorbed by his heart, will recognise truth and falsehood and will be able to distinguish between them, just as he is able to distinguish between night and day.

As for curing the diseases that arise from desires, it is because it contains wisdom and good counsel. This recommends avoiding worldly gains and inspires a yearning for the akhira.

The Prophet *saaws* once said, "Whoever wants to love Allah and His Messenger should read the Qur'an."5

The Qur'an is also the best means for bringing the servant nearer to his Lord, Glorious and Exalted is He. Khabab ibn al-Arat said to a man, "Draw closer to Allah as much as you can, and remember that you can do so by no means more pleasing to Him than using His own words."

Ibn Mas'ud said, "Whoever loves the Qur'an loves Allah and His Messenger," and sayyedina Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "If your hearts were really pure, they would never have enough of reciting Allah's words."

All in all, the most benefical thing for the servant is to remember Allah, Mighty and Glorious is He, constantly:

--<* Surely in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. (Quran 13:28)*>-

Allah also says: "Say: "It is for those who believe a guide anda healing."(Fussilat 41:44)

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast. - Allah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

'Aamanar-Rasoolu bimaa 'unzila mir-Rabbihi walmu'minoon, kullun 'aamana billaahi wa malaa'ikatihi wa Kutubihi wa Rusulihi, laa nufarriqu bayna 'ahadim-mir-Rusulihi, wa qaaloo sami'naa wa 'ata'naa ghufraanaka Rabbanaa wa 'ilaykal-maseer.

The Messenger believes in what has been send down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say: "We make no distinction between any of His Messengers," and they say: "We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return." Allah burdens not a person beyond what he can bear. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us. Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector, and help us against the disbelieving people.

Reference: Al-Baqarah 2:285-6. These two Verses will be sufficient for anyone who recites them at night before sleeping. Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani, Fathul-Bari.9/94, Muslim 1/554.

Bismika Rabbee wadha'tu janbee , wa bika 'arfa'uhu, fa'in 'amsakta nafsee farhamhaa, wa 'in 'arsaltahaa fahfadhhaa, bimaa tahfadhu bihi 'ibaadakas-saaliheen.

With Your Name1 my Lord, I lay myself down ; and with Your Name I rise . And if my soul You take , have mercy on it , and if You send it back then protect it as You protect Your righteous slaves.2

Reference:1 "If any of you rises from his bed and later returns to it, let him dust off his bed with his waist garment three times and mention the Name of Allah, for he does not know what may have entered the bed after him, and when he lies down he should say. . . ". 2 Al-Bukhari 1 1/ 126 and Muslim 4/2084.

Allaahwmma 'innaka khalaqta nafsee wa 'Anta tawaffaahaa, laka mamaatuhaa wa mahyaahaa, 'in 'ahyaytahaa fahfadhhaa, wa 'in 'amattahaa faghfir lahaa . Allaahumma 'innee 'as'alukal-'aafiyata.

O Allah, You have created my soul and You take it back. Unto You is its death and its life . If You give it life then protect it , and if You cause it to die then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You for strength.

Spiritual Warfare Prayer Ruqyah II

Blog Readers Read on through~~Notice the picture that was here before was evidently one that promotes shirk due to its origin and meaning if you have copied it for some reason please discard, God willing

Page 59: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

If you are reading this to understand Ruqyah please know that this section is the second of a four part series to understand fully please read Spiritual Warfare Prayer Ruqyah I first before continuing on in this page, God Willing.~~

Ok, in this section we will explore the creation of jinn (invisible beings), their character, their vendetta against mankind, diseases of the human heart and other actions that make us more prone to fall prey to possession, sihr (magic), envy and low eman (faith).

In Watching for Satans Traps, Al Jumu'ah Vol. 15 Issue 05, says:

"Shun the Company of Satan's Disciples

Satan has human disciples, who sometimes surpass even him in evil. The believers should avoid their company.

"And when you see those who engage in (offensive) discourse concerning Our Verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people."

[Quran 6:68]"

A good way to be able to shun satan is through undestanding his existence, goal, and his ways of trying to achieve his goal.

In interpretation of the Quran Allah says:

"He created man from clay like that of earthenware."

Quran 55:14

"Indeed We created man from sounding clay made out of black smelly mud. And created the jinn before him, from smokeless fire."

Quran 15:26-27

"And created jinn from the flame of fire."

Quran 55:15

"And I created the jinns and men, only for them to worship Me. I do not ask any sustenance from them, nor wish that they give Me food. Indeed it is Allah, Who is the Greatest Sustainer, the Strong, the Able."

Quran 51:56-58

Allah says, "Every soul will taste death. And we test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned"

[Quran 21:35]

In his explanation of this verse, Ibn Katheer says, "It means 'We test you sometimes by bestowing bounty on you, sometimes by bringing you misfortunes; then We see who is thankful among you, who disbelieves, who is patient, and who surrenders to despair'."

Page 60: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

(Tafseer Ibn Katheer)

Of all trials, the greatest source of our misfortunes is from the Satan. Allah has warned us of this open enmity of the Satan times and again: "O mankind, indeed the promise of Allah is truth, so let not the worldly life delude you and be not deceived about Allah by the Deceiver (i.e. Satan)"

[Quran 35:5 - 6]

The Beginning Of Satans open animosity to mankind; our creation

"And recall when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create man from sounding clay made out of black smelly smelly mud. Therefore when I have properly fashioned him and breathed into him a chosen noble soul from Myself, fall down before him in prostration." Therefore all the angels, each and every one of them, fell prostrate. Except Iblis (Satan); he refused to be among those who prostrated. Said Allah, "O Iblis! What happened to you that you stayed apart from those who prostrated?" He answered, "It does not befit me to prostrate myself to a human whom You have created from sounding clay made out of black smelly mud." Said Allah, "Therefore exit from Paradise, for you are an outcast." "And indeed you are accursed till the Day of Judgement."

Quran 15:28-35

Describing Satan's eternal hostility to humans, Allah says, "(Satan) said, 'because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them (i.e. mankind) on Your straight path. Then I will come to (misguide) them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of

them grateful (to You)'."

[Quran 7:17-18]

Allah has warned His servants (us) against Satan saying, "He (i.e. Satan) promises them and arouses desire in them. But Satan does not promise them except deception"

[Quran 4:1 17-120]

In "What Are the Jinn?", www.islamweb.net writes:

"The Qur'an and Sunnah (Prophet's sayings) indicate that the jinn exist, and that there is a purpose for their existence in this life, which is to worship Allah Alone, with no partner or associate. Allah says (interpretation

of the meanings):

"And I (Allah) created not the jinn and humans, except they should worship Me (Alone)."

[Quran Al-Thariyat 51:56]

"O assembly of jinn and mankind! Did there not come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto

Page 61: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

you My Verses…?"

[Quran Al-An'aam 6:130]

The world of the jinn is an independent and separate world, with its own distinct nature and features that are hidden from the world of humans. Jinns and humans have some things in common, such as the possession of

understanding and the choice between the way of good and the way of evil. The word jinn comes from an Arabic root meaning "hidden from sight". Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"… Verily he (Shaytaan / Satan) and his qabeeluhu [his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe] see you from where you cannot see them…"

[Quran al-A'raaf 7:27]

Allah has told us in His Book the essence from which the jinn were created. He says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire."

[Quran Al-Hijr 15:27]"And the jinn did He create from a smokeless flame of fire."

[Quran al-Rahmaan 55:15]

According to a hadeeth narrated by 'Aa'ishah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The angels were created from light, the jinn were created from fire, and Adam was created from that which

has been described to you (soil)." (Reported by Muslim, 5314).

Types of jinn

Allah has created different types of jinn. Among them are some that can take on different forms, such as dogs and snakes; some who are like flying winds with wings; and some that can travel and rest. Abu Tha'labah al-

Khushani said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

'The jinn are of three types: a type that has wings, they fly through the air; a type that looks like snakes and dogs; and a type that stops for a rest then resumes its journey." Saheeh (authentic).

The jinn and the sons of Adam

Every individual among the sons of Adam has a jinn who has been appointed to be his constant companion (qareen). Ibn Mas'ood said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

'There is not one of you who does not have a jinn appointed to be his constant companion.' They said, 'And you too, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'And me too, but Allah has helped me and he has submitted (became a believing Muslim), so that he only helps me to do good.'" (Reported by Muslim, 2814).

Their powers

Allah has given the jinn powers that he has not given to humans. Allah has told us about some of their powers, such as the ability to move and travel quickly. An 'ifreet (genie) from among the jinn guaranteed to

the Prophet Sulaymaan (Solomon), peace be upon him, that he would bring the throne of the Queen of Yemen to Jerusalem in a moment faster than that needed for a man to get up from where he was sitting. Allah

Page 62: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

says (interpretation of the meaning):

"An 'ifreet (strong genie) from the jinns said: 'I will bring it [her throne] to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work.' One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: 'I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!' - then when

Sulaymaan saw it placed before him, he said, 'This is by the Grace of my Lord…'"

[Quran al-Naml 27:39-40]

The food and drink of the jinn

The jinn eat and drink. Ibn Mas'ood said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

'Someone from among the jinn called me, and I went with him and recited Qur'an for them.' He took me and showed me the traces of where they had been and the traces of their fires. They asked him for food and he

said, 'You can have every bone on which the name of Allah has been mentioned that comes into your possession, as meat, and all the droppings as food for your animals.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'So do not use [these things] for cleaning yourselves [after relieving oneself], for

they are the food and provision of your brothers.'" (Reported by Muslim, 450).

The believing jinn may eat any bone on which the name of Allah has been mentioned, because the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not permit them to have anything on which

Allah's name has not been mentioned - those are for the kuffaar (disbelievers) among the jinn.

The beasts of the jinn

According to the hadeeth narrated by Ibn Mas'ood, that we have quoted above, the jinn asked the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for provision, and he said to them: "…and [you can have] all the

droppings as food for your animals."

The dwelling-places of the jinn

The jinn live on this earth where we do. They are mostly to be found in ruins and unclean places like bathrooms, dunghills, garbage dumps and graveyards. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be

upon him) taught us to take precautions when entering such places, by reciting the athkar (prayers) prescribed by Islam. One of these was reported by Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him), who

said:

"When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered the toilet, he would say, 'Allahumma innee a'oothu bika min al-khubuthi wa'l-khaba'ith (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil

ones, male and female).'"

(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 142; and Muslim, 375).

Some jinns are Muslims and some are kaafirs (disbelievers)

Allah tells us that some of the jinn said (interpretation of the meaning):

Page 63: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"And some of us are Muslims, and of us some are al-qaasitoon (disbelievers - those who have deviated from the Right Path). And whosoever has embraced Islam, then such have sought the Right Path. And as for the

qaasitoon, they shall be firewood for Hell.'"

[Quran Al-Jinn 72:14-15]

The Muslims among the jinn are of different levels as regards righteousness and taqwa (God- consciousness). Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"[Some jinn said:] 'There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups, each having a different way (religious sects, etc.)'"

[Quran Al-Jinn 72:11]

The story of how the first jinn of this ummah ( nation) became Muslim was narrated by 'Abd-Allah ibn 'Abbaas, who said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out with a group of his

Companions heading for the marketplace of 'Ukaath. This was when the shayaateen (devils) were prevented from getting any news from heaven, and shooting stars had been sent against them. The shayaateen went

back to their people, who said, 'What is the matter with you?' They said, 'We cannot get news from heaven, and shooting stars were sent against us.' Their people said, 'Nothing is stopping you from hearing news from heaven except some new event that must have happened. Go and look in the east and the west of the earth,

and see if you can find out what it is that is stopping you from hearing news from heaven.'

Those who went out in the direction of Tihaamah came upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Nakhlah, when he was on his way to 'Ukaath, and found him leading his Companions in Fajr prayer. When they heard the Qur'aan, they listened to it and said, 'By Allah, this is what is stopping us from

hearing news from heaven.' When they went back to their people, they said,

'O our people, we have heard a wonderful Recital (the Qur'an). It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allah).

[QuranAl-Jinn 72:2 - interpretation of the meaning]

Then Allah revealed to His Prophet (peace be upon him) the words (interpretation of the meaning):

"Say (O Muhammad): 'It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened (to this Qur'an)…'

[Quran al-Jinn 72:1], and Allah revealed to him what the jinn had said."

(Reported by al-Bukhari, 731).

Their reckoning on the Day of Resurrection

The jinn will be called to account on the day of Resurrection. Mujahid (May Allah have mercy on him) said, concerning the ayah (verse) (interpretation of the meaning):

"… but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e., they will be brought to account)"

[Quran al-Saffat 37:158]

Page 64: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"They will be brought to judgement."

[Saheeh al-Bukhari]

Protection from the harm of the jinn

Because the jinn can see us while we cannot see them, the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us many ways to protect ourselves from their harm, such as seeking refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytaan, reciting Soorat al-Falaq and Soorat al-Naas (the last two Soorahs of the Qur'aan), and reciting the words taught by

Allah in the Qur'an (interpretation of the meaning):"Say: 'My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the whisperings (suggestions) of the shayateen (devils). And I

seek refuge with You, my Lord, lest they may attend (or come near) me.'"

[Quran Al-Mu'minoon 23:97-98]

Saying Bismillah (in the Name of Allah) before entering one's home, before eating or drinking, and before having intercourse will also keep the Shaytaan from entering the house or partaking with a person in his

food, drink and sexual activity.

Similarly, mentioning the name of Allah before entering the toilet or taking off one's clothes will prevent the jinn from seeing a person's 'awrah (private parts) or harming him, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said,

"To put a barrier that will prevent the jinn from seeing the 'awrah of the sons of Adam, let any one of you say 'Bismillah' when entering the toilet."

(Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 551; Saheeh al-Jaami', 3611).

Strength of faith and religion in general will also prevent the jinn from harming a person, so much so that if they were to fight, the one who has faith would win. 'Abd-Allah ibn Mas'ood (May Allah be pleased with

him) said: "A man from among the Companions of Muhammad ( peace be upon him) met a man from among the jinn. They wrestled, and the human knocked down the jinn. The human said to him, 'You look small and

skinny to me, and your forearms look like the front paws of a dog. Do all the jinn look like this, or only you?' He said, 'No, by Allah, among them I am strong, but let us wrestle again, and if you defeat me I will teach

you something that will do you good.' The human said, 'Fine.' He said, 'Recite:

'Allah! None has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever-living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists…'

[Quran Aayat al-Kursi - al-Baqarah 2:255 - interpretation of the meaning].

The human said, 'Fine.' He said, 'You will never recite this in your house but the Shaytan will come out of it like a donkey breaking wind, and he will never come back in until the next morning.'"

(Reported by al-Darimi, 3247)."

"So O men and jinns! Which favour of your Lord will you deny?"

Quran 55:40

"We have indeed adorned the lowest heaven with stars as ornaments.And to protect it from every rebellious devil. They cannot listen to the speech of those on higher elevations and they are targeted from every side. To make them flee, and for them is a never-ending punishment. Except one who sometimes steals a part, so

a blazing flame goes after him."

Quran 37:7-10

"And they have appointed a relationship between Him and the jinns; and indeed the jinns surely know that they will be brought forth."

Quran 37:158

In The Exorcist Tradition Bilal Philips writes:

"The angels were created from light and the Jinn from a flame of fire. However, it is the view of most Suni Scholars, past and present that the relation of the Jinn to fire is like the relation of man to earth. Although man's origin is from the elements of earth, man himself is not composed of earth. Similarily, Jaann (Father of the Jinn)was created from the elements of fire, but neitrher he nor his descendents are any longer composed of fire. According to some scholars proof of this can be found in the Prophets statement:

"Satan appeared before me in my prayer and I chocked him and felt the coldness of his saliva on my hand.."

[Collected by Ahmed disagreed over isnaad possibly weak]

They argued that if satan was himself a fiery being, then how could his saliva be cold or how could he even have saliva?" [Ahkaam al-Jaann, p.27]

It is generally held that the Jinn, like the angels, were created before mankind. This belief is based upon the apparent meaning of the following Quranic verse:

"Indeed We created man from sounding clay made out of black smelly mud. And created the jinn before him, from smokeless fire."

Quran 15:26-27

This amy be deduced from the following Quranic text in which the creation of the Jinn is mentioned before man:

"And I created the jinns and men, only for them to worship Me."

Quran 51:56

Ibn Kathir narrates [1300-1373] quotes a narration from the Prophets companion, 'Abdulla ibn Umar [d 693 CE], wherein the Prophet (saw) stated that the Jinn, descendents of jaann, were on earth two thousand years before the creation of Adam.[Tafseer al- Qur'aan al-'Atheem, voli, p.108]

Page 66: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The Jinn are created beings, consequently they die as do humans. Evidence for this belief may be found in the general statements from the Qur'aan which indicate that all of creation will cease to exist:

"Everything [that exists] will perish except His [i.e.,Allah's] face."

Quran 28:88

"Everything in the world will vanish..."

Quran 55:26

Furthermore there is a verse which addresses the issue directly

"It is these upon whom the Word has proved true, among the nations that passed away before them, of jinns and men; indeed they were losers." Quran 46:18

Al-Aaloosee said, "The statement of [Allah], Most Great and Glorious, '....among the previous generation of jinn and men that have passed away,' is used to prove that the Jinn die generation after generation, like humans."

[Rooh al-Ma'aannee, vol.26, 9.21]

Proof can also be found in authentic traditions of the Prophet (s)

"I seek refuge in Your power. There is no god beside You, [You are the One] who does not die, while the Jinn and mankind die."

[Bukhari vol.9, p.357, no.480]

Satan [Arabic Shaytaan] This term is equivelent in meaning to the words "devil" or "demon" when used indefinitely or in the plural, but with the definite article "al," it specifically refers to the Devil, i.e. Satan.

Arabic English Lexicon, vol.2, p. 1552.

It is clearly apparent from the authentic hadeeths that satan was a jinnee and not an angel , When taken by themselves some verses of the Quran imply that he might have been an angel; however, there are alsomany others which infer that he was a jinnee, an done that explicitly states that he was a jinnee:

"And indeed We created you, then designed you and then ordered the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they all prostrated, except Iblis (Satan); he did not become of those who prostrate."

Quran 7:11

The above verse iondicates that Iblees (personal name of satan) was among the angels. Iblees is derived from ablasa, which means, he despaired or gave up hope for the mercy of Allah."

Page 67: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Relationships with Humans

Like blood, Satan flows through man's veins. One of his most lethal weapons is false hopes. As we know from our father Adam's story, Satan knows our weakness and attacks us on the most vulnerable point. Allah says,"... and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing."

[Quran 6: 4]

Safiyyah reported that the Prophet (s) said:

"Verily, Satan flows in the blood stream of Adams descendents."

[Bukhari vol. 3, pp.142-3]

The Jinn are able to affect the subconscious human mind, according to the Prophets statement,

"Verily, the dreams which a man sees in his sleep are of three types: a dream from the most Merciful (Allah), a sad dream from satan, and a subconscious dream."

[Muslim, vol. 4, p. 1224, and no 5621]

Thoughts

"Satan will come to one of you and say, 'Who created this and that? ' Until he asks, 'Who created your Lord?' When he comes to that, one should seek refuge in Allah and stop [such idle thoughts]."

[Bukhari, vol. 4, p.320, no.496]

BirthMuhammad (saw) said:

"Satan pricks with his finger every newborn child of Adams descendents. They all begin screaming from Satans jab, except Mary and her son Jesus (Esa) ."

[Bukhari vol. 4, p.426, no.641]

Abu Hurayrah narrated:

The reason for their protection is the supplication made by Mary's mother at Mary's birth .[Bukhari vol. 4, p. 426, no. 641] It is recorded in the Quran

Page 68: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"So when she gave birth to it, she said, “My Lord! I have indeed given birth to a girl!” And Allah well knows what she gave birth to; and the boy she had prayed for is not like this girl; “And I have named her Maryam and I give her and her offspring in Your protection, against Satan the outcast.”

Quran 3:36

Sickness

Some physical human sicknesses are caused by the effects of jinn.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said:

"[One of the causes for] the destruction of my nation of followers will be [assassination by] stabbing and the plague, which is harassment from you enemies among the jinn. [Death] by either way is martyrdom."

[al-Albaanee Saheeh al-Jaami' as Sagheer, vol 2, p. 779, no 4231]

"Can you not see that We (Allah) have set the devils on the disbelievers, excitedly prodding them [to sin and disbelief]."

Quran 19:83

The fact is that the Jinn fear those who are strong among the righteous and therefore avoid them. Prophet Muhammad (saw) said:

"Surely I can see the devils among the Jinn and mankind fleeing from 'Umar (Ra)."

In Watching for Satans Traps, Al Jumu'ah Vol. 15 Issue 05 says,

"Find Tranquility in Remembering Allah

Allah has urged His servants to remember Him, ask His forgiveness, and to show patience in way of observing His Deen (Religion).

"Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Truly, it is in the remembrance of Allah that the hearts ever find peace."

[Quran 13:28]

The Best Defense: Supplications

The Prophet (SAWS) has taught us the best defense against the Satan, and that is consistent remembrance of Allah with the help of beautiful supplications for every occasion. These awraad (Supplications) bring us abundant reward and high ranks with Allah. This technique has been time-tested by the Prophets and the pious people in overcoming the Satan.

The Prophet (SAWS) being so merciful to his Ummah (Society), explained the supplications, Salah (prayer) and rules in all situations, times, and places; in deeds and in words, when eating, drinking, answering nature's

Page 69: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

call, and when misfortunes strike, when going to bed and even when having intercourse with one's spouse. The Prophet (SAWS) says, "If one wants to make love to one's spouse, and says, I seek refuge in your Name, 'O Allah, protect us from Satan, and save what you have bestowed upon us from Satan,' Allah will protect his offspring from Satan all his life." (Bukhari)"

In The Exorcist Tradition, Bilal Philips wrote,

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

"Evil spirits mostly gain control of those having little religous inclination and those whose hearts and tongues faith has deserted; those whose souls are desolate of the remembrance of Allah and of the formulas for strengthening faith. When evil spirits meet a man who is isolated, weaponless and naked, they are easily able to attack him and overcome him."[Zaad al-Ma'aad, p.69]

Ibn Taymeeyah suggested the following three circumstances to be main reasons why Jinn may possess humans:

1. "The occasional possession of man by the Jinn may be due to the sexual desires on the part of the Jinn...or even love, just as it may be among humans."

2. " Demonic possession sometimes also occurs as a result of horseplay, jest or plain evil on the part of the jinn, just as eviland mischief occurs from among humans for similar reasons."

3. " However, possession is most often a result of the Jinn being angry because some wrong has been done to them. Thus, the jinn punish those who wronged them. For example, when humans accidentaly harm or hurt them by urinating on them, pouring hot water on them or by killing some of them, the jinn think that they have been intentionally harmed. Although humans may not realize what they have done, the jinn by nature are very ignorant, harsh and volatile in their behavior, so they may vengefully punish humans much more severly than they deserve."

Thus, in the view of Ibn Taymeeyah, possession may occur with relative frequency to practising Muslims as well as to weak and non practising Muslims.

Partial Possession

Ibn Taymeeyah says:

"The Jinn usually communicate by either visions or voices with those seeking information among the idol worshippers , Christians, Jews and heretical Muslims driven astray by the devils....The devils will often respond while taking the form of one besought , whether dead or alive...This frequently happens to Chrisitans (survivorsareus.com note: or heretical Muslims like Sufi's and so on and so forth) who call upon those whom they edify, whether dead or alive...." Elsewhere he said, "And among them (i.e., disbelievers, pagans, magicians, ect..) are those who believe that when someone dies he can return and communicate with them, pay their debts, retrieve their lost items, and advise them. Images of those who who die come to them [doing these things], but they are actually devils taking their forms."

According to Islamic beliefs one of the many ways the devils lead humans astray is to appear to them in images which reinforce their false beliefs. They become visible as apparitions or visions.

Page 70: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

In Majmoo' al Fatawaa, Ibn Taymeeyah said:

"The devils may appear to those who worship them in forms which humans mistakenly identify as heavenly spirits.... Jinn may also make humans hear the voice of those whom they call upon who are far away. Such cases are frequent among idolaters , Christians, Jews, and ignorant Muslims who seek refuge in those whom they consider Holy.""

You may be wandering why devils cause so much mischief so I will now give you some of the reasons why.

Interpretation of the Quran

"Iblis said, "Give me respite till the day when people will be resurrected. Said Allah, "You are given respite. Iblis said, "Hence I swear by the fact that You sent me astray, I will certainly lay in wait for them on Your Straight Path. Then I will certainly approach them - from their front and from behind them and from their right and from their left; and You will find most of them not thankful. Allah said, "Exit from here, rejected, outcast; indeed whoever among them follows your bidding, I will fill hell with all of you."

Quran 14-18

"The one whom Allah has cursed; the devil said, I swear, I will certainly take an appointed portion of Your bondmen. And I will surely lead them astray, and I will certainly arouse desires in them, and I will definitely order them so they will pierce animals’ ears, and I will definitely order them so they will alter Allah’s creation; and whoever chooses the devil for a friend instead of Allah, has indeed suffered a manifest loss." Quran 4:118-119

"And indeed We (Allah) sent to every nation a Noble Messenger (proclaiming) that "Worship Allah and beware of the devil; therefore Allah guided some of them, and error proved true upon some of them; therefore travel in the land and see what sort of fate befell the deniers! If you (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) desire for their guidance, then indeed Allah does not guide one whom He misleads, and they do not have any aides. And they swore by Allah most vehemently in their oaths that, Allah will not raise up the dead; yes He will, why not? A true promise obligatory upon Him, but most men do not know. In order that He may make clear to them the matter in which they differed, and the disbelievers may realise that they were liars." Quran 16:36-39"

Shaykh Saleem Al-Hilaalee in Protection against the plots of Shaytaan wrote:

"These ayat (The above) prove that shaytaan is on the onslaught of a firce war holding arrogance and malice against man and inciting people to manifest their evil. Allah has permitted him to do this, oblivious of the threats of Allah and with no regards, for His slaves. Allah, glorified is He, has not left man unprotected . He has made faith and abundant remembrance of Him means to protect our selves and weapons for our defense.

Allah has uncovered the plots of shaytaan for man so that if he becomes negligent about his protection and incabable of knowing shaytaans schemes, then fortune will turn against him, There Is No Might Nor Power Except with Allah.

This old enemy of the children of Adam (as) in his pursuit of trickery and schemes, is determined to embark

Page 71: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

boldly in the battle against the course of time. He plots and plans in organized stages and continues in this way, one fight after another. He executes his polices with man step by step. Allah says in interpretation of the Quran:

"...do not follow the footsteps of the devil; undoubtedly he is your open enemy."

Quran 2:168, 208 and 6:142

Shaytaan invades the human soul at a moment of neglect and weakness

"And if shaytaan causes you to forget, then sit not in the company of those people who are the wrongdoers."

Quran 6:68

Shaytan's pace is swift and harmful as he affects man with speed. He searches for ways to take complete control over the way in, therefore man should take precaution against him.

Shaytaan luring into destruction by persuasion

In interpretation of Quran Allah says,

"Indeed those of you who turned back on the day when the two armies met - for as it was the devil who caused them to waver, because of some of their deeds; and undoubtedly Allah has forgiven them; indeed Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Forbearing."

Quran 3:155

These ayat describe what happened in the mind of the archers, imagine the whole of mankind and their state of mind when they commit a sin. The confidence of Allah's pardon and pleasure are reduced.

In interpretation of Quran Allah says,

"And do not be like those who came out from their houses proudly, and to be seen by men, and they prevent people from Allah’s way; and all their actions are within Allah’s control. And when Satan made their deeds seem good in their sight and said, This day no one can overpower you, and you are under my protection; so when the two armies came face to face, he scrambled back and said, "I am unconcerned with you - I can see what is not visible to you - I fear Allah; and Allah’s punishment is severe."

Quran 8:47-48

The cores of satanic beautification are false promises and glimmering hopes. Just as Adam (As) was promised eternal life and rule likewise were the poytheist promised victory;

"The devil promises them and arouses desires in them; and the devil does not give them promises except of deceit. "

Quran 4:120

Iblees establishes the courtyard of his battle using his tools of beautification-beautification of ugliness.. the gullible see his false attraction and it leads them to sin. So the people should be warned that whenever a matter appears beautiful to them or whenever they find a longing desire in themselves, shaytaan will already

Page 72: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

be there.

In "Watching for Satans Traps," Al Jumu'ah Vol. 15 Issue 05 writes:

"Satan intercepts us in every path of righteousness, dissuading us from good and persuading us to do evil. This struggle is depicted in a hadeeth [Tradition of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam (SAWS) / peace be upon him)]. "Satan sat in Man's paths," the Prophet says. "He sat for him in the path of Islam and said, 'How could you embrace Islam and discard your religion and the religion of your forefathers?' But man, disobeying Satan, embraced Islam. Then Satan sat for man in the path of hijrah (emigration) and said, 'How could you emigrate and leave your land and sky?' But man, however, disobeyed Satan and emigrated. Then Satan sat for man in the path of Jihad (Actions in the way of Allah) and said, 'How could you perform jihad sacrificing yourself and your money? You could be killed; your wife may re-marry and your money may be divided among inheritors.' However, man still disobeyed Satan and went out for Jihad. He who has done this verily deserves to enter paradise. He who gets killed has the right to enter Paradise; he who drowns has the right to enter Paradise, and he who falls off his horse has the right to enter Paradise," the Prophet concluded. (Ahmed and Nasa'ee)

To protect ourselves against the Satan and his party, we must cling to Allah's Book and follow the example of the Prophet (SAWS). Innovations in matters of religion, arguments about Allah's verses without proper knowledge are the time-tested traps of the Satan."

""It is the devil who threatens with his friends; so do not fear them and fear Me, if you have faith."

Quran 3:175

In Shaytaan Causing Fear and Terror, Tareeqah Al-Jannah writes:

"Thus when one has fear, fright and apprehension it is due to the shaytaan. Indeed shaytaan tries to make his enemies become a source of fright and he takes away their power and awe.

"And Satan will say when the matter has been decided, Indeed Allah had given you a true promise - and the promise I gave you, I made it untrue to you; and I had no control over you except that I called you and you obeyed me; so do not accuse me, blame only yourselves; neither can I help you, nor can you help me; I have no concern with your ascribing me as a partner (to Allah); indeed for the unjust is a painful punishment."

Quran 14:22

"The example of the devil - when he said to man “Disbelieve”; so when he has rejected faith, he says, “I am unconcerned with you - indeed I fear Allah, the Lord of The Creation.”

Quran 59:16"

In The Seven Tricks of Shaytaan Against You, Tareeqah Al-Jannah writes:

"As for the tricks of Shaytaan against you they are seven:

1. He obstructs you from doing acts of obedience. Repel him by realizing that you are in need of these acts of

Page 73: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

obedience in order to gather provision from this life for the next life, which will have no ending.

2. He commands you to procrastinate in acts of obedience. Repel him by realizing that your appointed time is not in your hands and that you could die at any moment.

3. He commands you to rush in acts of obedience by suggesting to you, "Hurry! In order that you can do so-and-so!" Repel him that realizing that few acts of obedience done with perfection is better than many done incompletely.

4. He commands you to perfect your worship in order to be seen of men. Repel him by realizing that the sight of Allah is enough for you over the sight of men

5. He whispers arrogance and pride in your heart by saying, "Who is greater and more precise than your obedience?" Repel him by realizing that your acts of obedience to Allah is a blessing from Allah, not from yourself. If it were not for the bounty of Allah, you would not be able to establish any act of obedience, which are nothing next to the blessing of Allah Ta`ala.

6. This is the greatest of his tricks, he says to you, " Make strenuous effort in keeping your obedience of Allah secret. Soon He will make your acts manifest before the world!" Repel him that you are a slave of Allah and that He alone is your Master. If He wills, He will manifest you and if He wills He will keep you concealed. If He wills, He will make you important and if He wills He will make you insignificant. That is for Him to decide, and you should not care whether He manifests your good deeds to people or not, because there is nothing in their hands worth seeking after.

7. He suggests in your heart, " There is no need for you to perform acts of obedience to Allah. Truly, if you were created and destined to be among the people of bliss, then there is no danger in you neglecting the acts of worship. And if you were created and destined to be among the people of wretchedness, then there is no benefit in doing them. Repel him that realizing that you are a slave. And that it is the duty of a slave to obey the commands as is the rights to slaveness (`ubuudiyya).

Allah is the Rabb (Lord), and He knows the rights of Lordship (rubuubiyya). Thus these acts of obedience will benefit you in every way if you were created and destined to be among the people of bliss. It will benefit you by increasing your reward. And if you were not created and destined for bliss, then in no way Allah will punish you for acts of obedience. These acts of obedience will not harm you. For to be entered into the fire while you are obedient to Allah is more precious to you than you being entered into the fire while you are disobedient.

And how is it possible for you to enter the fire when the Promise of Allah is true and His Words are Truthful for He has promised a tremendous reward for acts of obedience? Whoever meets Allah Ta`ala while he has faith and obedience will never enter the fire and he has duly earned the Paradise by the Promise of Allah the Truthful and not by any act. It is in that Allah has informed us by His saying,

"Allah's praises are due to Allah who made good to us His Promise and has made us inherit the earth and we may abide in the Paradise whenever we please. Excellent is the Reward of those who work."

(Quran 39:74)

Therefore my brothers (and sisters), wake up! It is as He said. So seek the aid of Allah alone and seek refuge with Him. All matters are in His hands and from Him alone is success. And there is neither power nor might except with Allah the Exalted the Great."

[From: Tareeqah Al-Jannah - Bab Muhaarabatush-Shaytaan (On the War with Shaytaan)

Page 74: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Reasons for possession

Some of the prominent reasons for people to suffer harm from devils through possesion and or magic is due to their lifestyle and sinful habits. Many Muslims for example are not fulfiling their religous obligations such as: worshipping correctly, seeking authentic Islamic knowledge, supplicating daily sunnah dhikr, protecting their eyes and private parts from temptation, covering their private parts (awrah), living according to Islam by adhering to what is halal (permissable) and staying away from what is harram (forbidden) and what could be harram for fear that it is harram (forbidden).

"Say: Allah has power to send punishment upon you from above you, or from under your feet; or to cover you in confusion with party strife; and make you taste the inter-fighting and violence of one another. See how We variously explain the Aayat (proofs and signs), so that they may understand." Quran 6:65

One benefit of the above ayat:

It shows the great power of Allah, the Exalted, in that whenever the Muslims abandon judging by the Sharee'ah (Divinely Prescribed Law) of Allah; but rather take to man made laws that oppose the Law of Allah - which, with deep regret, is happening now - then Allah causes the Ummah to split-up into sects and parties, and makes them fight one another.

[The above taken from Not Judging by the Book of Allah: A Cause for Calamities to Strike the Ummah By: Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Jameel Zaynoo]

"So do they not ponder the Qur’an deeply, or are there locks on some of their hearts?"

Quran 47:24

"Not at all – but rather their earnings have heaped rust upon their hearts."

or translated as

"Nay! But on their hearts is the covering of sins (ran) which they used to earn."

Quran 83:14

In Disease of the Hearts and their Cures Ibn Taymiyya writes:

"The hearts are of three types:

(1) The correct heart is secure that is secure from all desires that oppose the command of Allah and His prohibitions and it is also secure from doubts that contradict what He (Allah) informs. Just as it is secure from worshipping anything else besides Allah and from seeking judgement from any person other than His (Allah's) Messenger.

(2) The dead heart, this being the opposite of the correct heart containing no life, neither knowing it's Lord nor worshipping Him.

Page 75: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

(3) The Heart that has some life but also has a defect. So it contains love of Allah, faith in Him, sincerity and trust towards Him from those things that are essential to it remaining alive. It also contains the love of vain desires and preferences to them, despicable morals and manners from those things that cause it to die, and it continously wavering between those two conditions.

So the first type of heart is the living, humble, soft and gentle heart. The second is the dry, harsh, and dead heart. The third is the heart which is diseased, it can either be made secure or have its destruction sealed.

All of the diseases of the heart can be founded upon desires and doubts. The life of the heart and its illumination is the cause of all good to be found in it and its death and darkness is the cause of evil to be found in it. The heart can be perfected through purification of the heart, repentance, and the relinquishing of all types of false love and despicable manners. This can be attained through striving hard against ones soul that incites towards evil and bringing it to account and combatting the satans from among the Jinn by holding fast to Allah; knowing their plots and objectives, and safeguarding onself against them through remembrance of Allah, the exalted and seeking refuge in Him from them.

The heart becoming defective and weak revolves around two basic matters: the corruptioon of knowledge and corruption of intent. These in turn lead to two destructive illnesses-anger and-misguidance

Misguidance being the end result of the corruption of intent. So these two diseases are the lords of all the ailments that afflict the heart. It's cures lies in guidance based upon knowledge. Guidance based on knowledge is to know the truth and to follow it. The whole of the Qur'an is a cure for these two diseases, others and in it contains perfect guidance."

In interpretation of the Quran Allah says:

"He will heal the breast of a believing folk."

Quran 9:14

"And when I become sick, He (Allah) heals me."

Quran 26:80

"....There has come from unto you an exhortation from your Lord, a healing for that which is in your breasts, a guidance and mercy for the believers."

Quran 10:57

"And we reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers..."

Quran 17:82

"It is a guidance and a healing for those who believe."

Quran 41:44

"There has come to you good advice from your Lord and a healing for that which is in the hearts, a guidance

Page 76: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

and a mercy for believers."

Quran 10:57

"...and heal the breast of a beleiving people and removes the anger of their hearts..."

Quran 9:14-15

So now you should have a very good understanding of shaytaans plots and the need to properly protect your self. Establishing in you heart firm belief and practise of Islam is a good way of achieving the desired outcome. Prayer is not something that should be taken lightly by any means. Prayer is Islams second pillar and it is to be performed a minimum of five times a day. Prayer is so important that one should even read books from the scholars that properly instruct you on how to pray like the Prophet Muhammad (saw) (I have in my free e books) and that is not enough. You should practise the movements so that you do them correctly not just thinking that in doing them in your obligatory prayers as enough because that is not enough. The following will aid you in some of your prayer and supplications, insha Allah.

Spiritual Warfare Prayer Ruqyah I

This is the first of a four part series that will give you a introduction to the subjects that I will be going into detail about in the other sections like: magic, the condition of the heart, the legitimacy of seeking medical treatment, types of sihr (magic), types of ruqyah and forbidden forms of treatment for magic, jinn possesion and more. It is imparitive that you have a complete understanding of Islam's creed so I will go over this with you in this section.

I have written this at the best of my present ability to give you all of the proper tools you need to successfully accomplish the practise of doing Ruqyah. This is a very serious subject that deserves much elaboration on its different branches of neccessary knowledge. Learning about Ruqyah is a special and very fulfiling part of ones life. With the proper knowledge of it you can by the permission of Allah help your self and others from the unneccesary oppression of jinn, demons, sihr, envy, regular sickness and poision. I ask you to please read everything even if you are already familiar with the material as it is always a good idea to refresh your memory every so often to ensure that you are at your best mental capacity.

Allah says interpretation of the Quran:

"Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest."

Quran 3:134

"And the men and women who remember Allah frequently, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward."

Quran 33:35

The issue of seeking treatment from spiritual warfare with prayer is called ruqyah. Ruqyah with the Qur'an is a very serious one requiring frank discussion, due to the fact that a number of innovations and superstitions that have no support in the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet [sallallhu alayhi wa sallam (SAWS)], or the examples of his noble Companions are being practiced in the name of ruqyah and healing through Qur'an.

Literal meaning of Sihr –

Page 77: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

According to Al-Azhari:

Sihr means to make something appear in a form other than the real one

According to Ibn Mandhur:

Sihr means to make something false appear to be real, or makes something appear to people differently from its true form, it means that he has given an object a status other than its real one.

According to A’aisha:

Arabs have given it the name sihr because it can transform good health into illness,

Definition of Sihr- Sihr is an agreement between a Sahir and a satan which stipulates that the sahir commit certain illegal or polytheistic acts, in return for the Satans assistance and obedience in fulfilling the sahir’s requests.

A halal way to cure the evil efffects of sihr is with Ruqyah. Ruqyah entails reciting the Qur'an and making supplications to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, in order to aid in the treatment of illness and other problems. Ibn Hajar al-Asqalanee said that the definition of ruqyah further includes ta'awwuth, which means to seek refuge. In his words: "There is no disagreement whatsoever (between scholars) as to the permissibility of turning to Allah for help and seeking refuge with Him from whatever happens or is expected to happen."

In this spirit, the primary concern of the present article is to offer sincere advice and warn against the evil deviations that the improper practice of ruqyah may lead to. As we will see, the best defense against ignorance is faith in Allah and sound Islamic knowledge.

The Condition of the Heart

The heart is normally full and does not allow anything alien to enter it unless something else leaves it first. The believing servant knows his Creator, why he was created and the journey's end after death. In contrast, weak faith in monotheism, weak reliance on Allah and a lack of beneficial knowledge render the heart a breeding ground for devilish insinuations, illusions and trivialities.

Regarding this dangerous condition, Ibnul-Qayyim wrote, "Evil spirits mostly gain control of those having little religious inclination and those whose hearts and tongues faith has deserted - (people) whose souls are desolate of the remembrance of Allah and of the formulas for strengthening one's faith."

The Legitimacy of Seeking Medical Treatment

The Prophet (SAWS) sought medical treatment and ordered his Companions to do so as well. Jabir narrated that the Prophet (SAWS) said, "There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease, it is cured with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious." (Muslim)

Commenting on this hadith, Ibnul-Qayyim wrote, "The Prophet (SAWS) made cure conditional on applying medicine to the (right) illness. (Just as every creature has an opposite), every disease has an opposite remedy that can cure it…"

Page 78: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

In fact, numerous Prophetic ahadith support the view that seeking medical treatment is perfectly acceptable, and even encouraged, in Islam.

The Prophet's Guidance Concerning Protection and Cure

Our best guidance in life comes from studying the life and habits of the Prophet (SAWS) who showed us what to do in all circumstances. Allah says about him: "He is ardently desirous of your (welfare); and to the believers he is compassionate, merciful." [9:128]

We shall look here at some protective measures prescribed by the Prophet (SAWS) in addition to various remedies for combating the effects of the evil eye and magic.

Protective Measures

Protection against evil in general can be realized by asserting belief in the unity of Allah, finding out about Him through His beautiful names and lofty attributes, offering sincere worship to Him alone, obeying His commands, relying on Him, loving Him and frequently remembering Him. What is required here is remembrance that involves both the heart and the tongue.

Treatment of the Evil Eye

The power to harm others by a look or glance, known as the evil eye, is true. Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet (SAWS) said, "The effect of the evil eye (al-ayn) is real for if there were anything which could overtake destiny, it would have been (the effect of) the evil eye." (Muslim)

To ward off the effect of the evil eye, one should say, upon seeing someone or something that pleases him, "maa shaa-Allah" (only that which Allah wills comes to pass!), and then he should pray to Allah to bless that person or thing.

If the person with an evil eye is known, he should be asked to wash his body and retain ant wasted water that he has used. The water should be poured over the affected person from the back, and he will-with Allaah's leave-recover.

See hadith Sahih by Al-Abani in Sahih al-Jami(3908)

Ibnul-Qayyim said, "Among the formulas of seeking Allah's refuge and those (encompassing) ruqyah are: frequent recitation of surah Al-Falaq, surah An-Nas, surah Al-Fatihah and Ayatul-Kursy. One should also recite Prophetic supplications (related to seeking Allah's refuge and protection)."

Treatment of Magic

One should protect oneself from the effect of magic before it happens. Among other things, this can be achieved by demonstrating sincere devotion and worship to Allah alone, and seeking His protection by frequently remembering Him and by reciting Prophetic supplications at suitable times. As for treating magic after its occurrence, the affected person should be patient with Allah's decree, repent for his sins and insist on receiving treatment only from those (Muslims) who are known for their piety and uprightness.

Page 79: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

In Sword against Black Magic & Evil Magicians,Wahid Abdussalam Bali had this to say about the different types of magic (sihr): "Types of Sihr

Number OneSihr of Chaldeans who used to worship the seven planets, believing the planets control the world. These are the people Prophet Ibrahiim (Abraham) was sent.

Number TwoSihr of people who have fantasies and hallucinations. Man's soul has been created weak and is submissive to fantasies.

Number ThreeSeeking assistance of worldly spirits (Jinn)who are of two types.1. Believers in Islaam2. Disbelievers who are demonsThis type of sihr is known as putting a spell on someone or using assistance of jinn to to perform acts of sihr.

Number FourThis includes magic and eye catching trickery.

Number fiveMarvelous objects such as geometically-made artwork. This should not be considered as sihr as it is the driving force behind more advanced machines and other marvelous objects.

Number SixUse of specific medication in foods and ointments, there is no gainsaying the effect of such medication as the effect of hypnotism is clear.

Number SevenThe Sahir will claim they know the supreme name of God and that the jinn obey their command in many things.

Number EightSlandering people is one of the softer forms of sihr which is very common among the people."

Forbidden Supplications

Ibn Taimiyyah mentioned that Allah's answering someone's du'aa or fulfilling his wishes does not necessarily mean that the method that person used is acceptable in Islam. Jabir reported that the Prophet (SAWS) said, "Do not supplicate against your own selves, your children, your servants, or your property, lest you should supplicate at a time when supplications are accepted." (Muslim)

Ibn Taimiyyah specified some of the errors that people may make when supplicating to Allah, such as the following:- Associating partners with Allah. - Praying for unlawful or undesirable things in Islam.- Supplicating in a manner that is not pleasing to Him, as Allah says: "Call upon your Lord in humility and in secret. Surely, He does not love the transgressors" [Quraan 7:55]

Page 80: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

According to Ibn Taimiyyah, "There are (some) people who make forbidden supplications, and they get what they ask for but with a great deal of harm. Others also make undesirable (makrooh) supplications and they still get what they ask for…These and similar kinds of supplications are forbidden even if those who make them get their wishes granted. Those who believe in the effect of forbidden supplications are mostly ignorant people who do not realize the conditions for supplication. This generally happens to people who grope in utter darkness, namely the disbelievers, the hypocrites and those who commit major sins so much so that their hearts have become black as a result of sins and thus, they cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood. This is why such forbidden supplications continue to be a source of confusion for those whom Allah has not guided and whose hearts He has not illuminated with knowledge."

Ruqyah and Supplication

Ruqyah is similar to supplication. While it is preferred to use supplications that the Prophet (SAWS) taught us, Muslim scholars agree that it is also permissible to use supplications he did not teach us. The condition for doing so is that such supplications must not contain forbidden words, nor be forbidden in themselves or bound to lead to forbidden things, such as giving up the supplications that have been reported from the Prophet (SAWS) altogether. However, it is better and safer to adhere to those supplications that the Prophet (SAWS) taught us.

Consider the following hadith, which illustrates this point well: Abu Hurairah narrated that a Bedouin entered the masjid while the Prophet (SAWS) was sitting. He then offered two rak'ahs of salah and said, "O Allah, have mercy on me and on Muhammad, and do not have mercy on anyone along with us. 'The Prophet (SAWS) said to him, "You have narrowed down a thing (Allah's mercy) that is broad." (Ahmed and Abu Dawud)

Types of Ruqyah

There are two main types of ruqyah:1. Lawful Ruqyah: This is the kind of ruqyah that the Prophet (SAWS) used. It consists of permissible supplications as evidenced by Qur'anic verses and the authentic texts from the Sunnah, but without any additions and without practicing it in an enigmatic manner.2. Forbidden Ruqyah: This type of ruqyah may contain words of shirk, mysterious charms or anything else deemed forbidden in Islam like using pork, blood and ect...

Permissible Ruqyah

Ibn Hajar said, "Muslim scholars are in unanimous agreement that ruqyah is permissible if (the following) three conditions are met:1. Only Allah's Words (i.e., the Qur'an), Names or Attributes can be used.2. It must be in (comprehensible) Arabic or intelligible words in another language.3. Those taking part must believe that the incantation cannot have an independent effect, but that it is Allah the Almighty who causes it to have effect." (Fath Al-Baree)

As is the case with supplications being permissible so long as they do not contradict the principles of Islam or lead to shirk, the same ruling applies to methods of ruqyah that have not been reported by the Prophet (SAWS). However, such ruqyah should not contain mysterious words or be performed in an enigmatic manner that is reminiscent of the practices of magicians and charlatans.

Page 81: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Ibn Qudamah said, "Imam Ahmed was told about a man who claimed to neutralize magic by putting water in a pot and reciting incomprehensible words among other things. Imam Ahmad then disapprovingly shook his hand and said, I do not know about this (absurd practice)."' (Al-Kafee)

A Muslim should be extremely careful about these matters and always refer to the Qur'an and the Sunnah whenever he comes across something with which he is unfamiliar. Obscure practices that find no support in the Qur'an or the Sunnah should be rejected. Therefore, one should avoid confusion and simply go to the essence of what ruqyah actually is: a means of supplicating to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, through legitimate means coupled with the sincere practice of Islam and belief in Allah.

We conclude our study with the following invaluable quotation from Siddeeq Hasan Khan in his book "Sincere Devotion":"All acts and supplications that are bound to cure diseases are . . .permissible to practice if the words used in them are from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, or if they are supplications and practices reported from the early pious generation of Muslims, which are free from shirk; otherwise, (such practices) are forbidden and constitute acts of polytheism…"

"Indeed, Allah the Almighty is sufficient for His obedient servants if they are not attached to other than Him and (do not seek) recourse (except with) Prophetic supplications and permissible (types of) medicine. Whoever avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful. Given that shirk can easily be committed without realizing it, one should exercise extreme caution to avoid it."

Allah Knows Best

The Authentic Creed by: Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz

Table of ContentsIntroductionBelief in AllahBelief in AngelsBelief in the BooksBelief in MessengersBelief in the Last DayThe Invalidaters of Islam

Introduction

All praise is due to Allah, and Allah's Peace and Blessings be

upon His Final Messenger, his pure family, his noble

Companions, and all those who follow them with righteousness

until the Day of Judgment.

To proceed:

In view of the fact that the true 'Aqidah, or creed, is the

Page 82: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

foundation of Islam, I have decided on ' The Authentic Creed

and the Invalidators of Islam as a title for the present treatise.

It is evident from texts of the Noble Qur’aan and the Sunnah

that a person's words and deeds will not be accepted unless

they emanate from a true creed. If the creed is not authentic,

all words and deeds emanating there from are bound to be

rejected. The Qur'aan says:

"And whosoever disbelieves in Faith then, fruitless is

his work and in the Hereafter he will be among the

losers." (Soorah 5:5)

"And indeed it has already been revealed to you, as it

was to those before you, that if you join others with

Allah in worship, then surely all your deeds will be in

vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."

(Soorah 39:65)

The Verses to this effect are numberless.

The Qur’aan and the Prophetic traditions clearly state that the

true creed is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His

Messengers, the Last Day, and Al-Qadar (Divine Destiny), the

good of it and the bad of it. These six articles constitute the

basis of the true creed with which Allah sent His Book and with

which He sent His Messenger Muhammad !.

These articles also include all aspects of Al-Ghaib (Unseen

World), or in which a Muslim should believe. They also include

all that which Allah and His Messenger have informed us

thereof. The evidence of these articles come from many

Page 83: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Verses of the Qur’aan as well as Prophetic traditions. The

following are but a few examples. Allah says:

"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces

towards east or west; but it is righteousness to believe

in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, the Book and

the Messengers." (Soorah 2:177)

He also said:

"The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to

him from his Lord, as do the believers. Each one (of

them) believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His

Messengers. (They say) 'We make no distinction

between one another of His Messengers.' And they say,

'We hear and we obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our

Lord, and to You is the end of all journeys." (Soorah

2:285)

He further says:

"O you who believe! Believe in Allah and His Messenger,

and the Scripture which He sent to His Messenger (i.e.,

the Qur’aan) and the Scripture which He sent to those

before (him) any who disbelieves in Allah, His Angels,

His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day has indeed

gone far, far astray." (Soorah 4:136)

"Know you not that Allah knows all that is in the heaven

and on the earth? Verily, it is (all) in the Book (Al-Lauh

Al-Mahfaz), Verily, that is easy for Allah." (Soorah 22:70)

The authentic Prophetic traditions clearly stating these articles

Page 84: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

are also innumerable. We cite the following tradition as an

example. Muslim reported in his Sahih on the authority of

'Umar bin Al-Khattab that when Jibril asked the Prophet !

about Faith, he said:

"Iman or Faith, is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His

Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in

Destiny, the good of it and the bad of it."

This tradition has also been reported by Al-Bukhari on the

authority of Abu Hurairah. From these articles emanate all that

a Muslim should believe with regard to Allah's Right, the Day

of Judgment and all matters pertaining to the Unseen World.

Belief in Allah

Belief in Allah signifies that Allah is the true God Who Alone

deserves to be worshipped, as He is the Creator and the

Sustainer of all human beings. It also signifies that He is also

fully aware of their secret and open words and deeds and is

Able to reward the righteous and punish the disobedient. In

fact, Allah created mankind and the jinn for the sole reason to

worship Him Alone. As the Qur’aan says:

"And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except

that they should worship Me (Alone). I seek not any

provision from them (i.e., provision for themselves or

for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me

(i.e., feed themselves or My creatures). Verily, Allah is

the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong."

(Soorah 51 : 56-58)

Page 85: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

And He said:

"O mankind! Worship your Lord, Who created you and

those who came before you that you may become

righteous. Who has made the earth a resting place for

you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down rain from

the sky, and brought forth therewith fruits as provision

for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah (in

worship) while you know that He Alone has the right to

be worshipped." (Soorah 2:21,22)

Allah sent the Messengers and sent down the Books to clarify

this Truth, call to it and warn against all that which contradicts

it. The Qur’aan says:

"And verily, we have sent among every Ummah a

Messenger, (with the command), 'Worship Allah (Alone)

and avoid (or Keep away from) At-Taghut (i.e., all false

deities)." (Soorah 16:36)

"And We did not send any Messenger before you but we

revealed to them (saying): La Ilaha illa Ana (none has

the right to be worshipped but I, So worship Me."

(Soorah 21:25)

"(This is) a Book, the Verses whereof are perfected and

then explained in detail from One (Allah), Who is All-

Wise and Well-Acquainted (with all things): (Saying)

worship none but Allah. Verily, I (Muhammad) am unto

you from Him a warner and a bringer of glad tidings."

(Soorah 11:1,2)

Page 86: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The reality of 'worship' mentioned in the above-mentioned

Verses is to direct all one s acts to Allah Alone. These include,

amongst other things, supplications, fear and hope, prayers,

fasting, making sacrifices and taking vows. These should be

done in total submission to His Will, fearing His chastisement

and hoping for His Mercy as well as displaying love for Him.

Many Verses of the Qur'aan clearly state this Islamic

fundamental. The Qur’aan says:

"Verily, we have sent down the Book to you in truth: so

Worship Allah (Alone), offering Him sincere devotion.

Surely, sincere devotion (worship) is due to Allah

Alone." (Soorah 39:2,3)

"And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but

Him." (Soorah 17:23)

“So, call upon Allah with sincere devotion, making your

worship pure for Him (Alone)” (Soorah 40:14)

Al-Bukhari and Muslim also report on the authority of Mu’adh

who said, that the Prophet said:

“Allah’s right upon His slaves is that they should worship Him

Alone and not to associate anyone with Him in worship.”

Belief in Allah also necessitates the belief in all the apparent

obligations including the five pillars of Islam, namely the

declaration that none is worthy of worship except Allah and

that Muhammad ! is His Messenger, performing prayers,

paying Zakah, fasting during the month of Ramadan, and

performing pilgrimage to Ka’bah in Makkah, if one can afford

Page 87: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

it.

The mast important of all these pillars is the declaration of

Faith, That none has the right to he worshipped except Allah.

This declaration requires offering sincere devotion to Allah

Alone. Anyone who is worshipped besides Allah is but vain

falsehood, as the Qur’aan says:

"That is because Allah is the Only True God, and those

besides Him whom they invoke are but vain falsehood."

(Soorah 22:62)

We have mentioned earlier that Allah created the jinn and

men to worship Him Alone and that He sent His Messengers

and sent down His Books to explain this fundamental to them.

Many Muslims nowadays have neglected this fundamental and

have thus fallen into ignorance and have, wittingly or

unwittingly, worshipped others besides Allah, hence violating

this right of worship, which is His prerogative.

This belief also necessitates the belief that Allah is the

Originator and Creator of the creation and that He Alone is the

Disposer of their affairs with His Total Will and Absolute

Knowledge. He is also the Master of the present world and the

Hereafter and the Lord of the worlds. There is no creator or

lord but He. He sent the Messengers and sent down the Books

to call them to that which will benefit them in this world and in

the Hereafter. The Qur’aan says:

"Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the

Guardian and Disposer of all affairs." (39: 62)

Page 88: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"Indeed your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens

and the earth in six days, then He rose over the Throne

(in the manner that suits His Majesty). He covers the

night with the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created)

the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) are subjected to

His Commandment. Surely, His is the creation and the

commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the

worlds." (Soorah 7:54)

Belief in Allah also necessitates the belief in His Beautiful

Names and Lofty Attributes that are clearly stated in the

Qur'aan and are authentically mentioned by His Prophet

Muhammad !. We should believe in all His Attributes without

changing them, completely ignoring them, twisting their

meanings, or claiming that they resemble human attributes.

Rather, we should believe in these Attributes and describe

Allah in a manner that suits His Majesty and Grandeur, for

none of His creatures resembles Him in any way.

The Qur’aan says:

"There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-

Hearer, the All-Seer." (Soorah 42: 11)

"Invent not similitudes for Allah. Truly, Allah knows and

you know not." (Soorah 16:74)

Such is the creed of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, the

Companions of the Prophet and those who follow in their

footsteps. Imam Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ash'arI mentioned this creed

in his book 'A1-Maqalat 'an Ashabil-Hadithi wa Ahlis-Sunnah. '

Page 89: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Other leading scholars have also mentioned this true creed in

their works.

Imam A1-Awza said:

"Az-ZuhrI and Makhul were inquired about the Verses which

talk about Allah' s Attributes and they replied, 'Leave them as

they are." That is, do not interpret them.

Al-Walid bin Muslim said:

"Malik, A1-Awza'i, Al-Laith bin Sa'd, and Sufyan Ath-Thawri,

may Allah have mercy upon them, were asked about the

narration concerning Allah's Attributes, and they all said to

believe in them all without interpreting their meanings."

Al-Awza'i said:

"We used to say in the presence of At-Tabi'un, the successors

of the Prophet's Companions, that Allah is over His Throne,

and we believed in all the Prophetic traditions concerning

Allah's Attributes."

When Rabi'ah bin Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, the teacher of Imam

Malik, was asked about the Verse, "Allah rose over His

Throne." (Soorah 7:54), he replied:

"Allah's rising over the Throne is not to be denied, to imagine

the manner in which this is done is impossible, the Message is

from Allah, the Prophet conveyed this Message, and we have

to believe in it as it is."

When Imam Malik himself was inquired about the manner in

which Allah rose over the Throne, he replied: "Allah's action of

rising over the Throne is known, the manner in which this was

Page 90: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

done is not known, the belief in this matter is obligatory, and

inquiring about this manner is an innovation in religion, or

Bid'ah."

Then he addressed the inquirer thus, "You are but an evil

person." Then he asked people around him to send him out.

Umm Salamah, the Prophet's wife, is reported to have made

the same statement.

Imam Abu 'Abdur-Rahman 'Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak said in

this connection:

"We know that our Lord, Glorious is He, is over His Throne and

over His heavens, distinct from His creation."

The religious scholars have written so much on this subject

that it is impossible to quote them all in this treatise. Whoever

is interested to find out more about this subject can refer to

works written by scholars of Sunnah in this regard. These

include, among other things, 'Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad's As-

Sunnah, Muhammad bin Khuzaimah's At-TawhId, Abul Qasim

At-Tabari's As-Sunnah. One can also refer to Imam Ibn

Taimiyyah's reply to the people of Hamat, Syria, in which he

delineated the belief of Ahius-Sunnah. He also included in this

reply the statements of Ahlus-Sunnah as well as logical and

textual evidence from the Qur’aan and the Sunnah supporting

their position and exposing their opponents' opinions. He also

dealt with the subject in his treatise known as Ar-Risalatu At-

Tadmiriyyah in which he cited the belief of Ahlus-Sunnah along

with logical and textual evidence from the Qur'aan and the

Page 91: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Sunnah, leaving no room for argument for the objective

seekers of Truth.

Whoever adopts other than the position of Ahius-Sunnah as to

the issue of Allah's Names and Attributes will certainly

contravene massive logical and textual evidence from the

Qur’aan and the Sunnah.

Ahlus-Sunnah have confirmed all the Names and Attributes

that Allah confirmed for Himself either in the Qur'aan or

through the authentic traditions of the Prophet !, without

changing them completely, twisting their meaning, ignoring

them or likening them to those of His creatures. They have

taken into account all possible proofs and have thus avoided

falling into obvious contradictions. It is Allah's Plan to make

the argument of those objective and sincere seekers of the

Truth supreme:

"Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it

destroys it, and behold, falsehood is vanished." (Soorah

21:18)

"And no question do they bring to you but We reveal to

you the Truth and the best explanation (thereof)."

(Soorah 25:33)

Commenting on the Verse:

"Indeed your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens

and the earth in six days, then He rose over the Throne

(in a manner that suits His Majesty)." (Soorah 7:54)

The renowned exegete of the Qur’aan, or Mufassir, Al-Hafiz

Page 92: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Ibn KathIr said:

"People in this regard adopt far too many different opinions,

which are not possible to cite here. However, we adopt in this

regard the position of (the righteous predecessors), As-Salafus-

Salih, past and present, such as Malik, Al-Awza'i, Ath-

Thawri, Al-Laith bin Sa'd, Ash-Shafi'i, Ahmad and Ishaq bin

Rahwaih. They all believed in Allah's Attributes without

twisting their meanings, ignoring them completely, or likening

them to those of His creatures."

And whatever image comes to our minds about Allah should

be rejected, for "there is nothing like unto Him, and He is

the All-Hearer, the All-Seer." (Soorah 42:11)

Nu'aim Al-Khuza'i, the teacher of Imam A1-Bukhari, said:

Whoever likens Allah to His creatures is a disbeliever, and

whoever denies the Attributes that Allah ascribes to Himself is

a disbeliever. It is impossible to liken Allah to any of His

Creatures. Guided are those who confirm to Allah the

Attributes, in a manner suiting His Majesty, mentioned in the

clear Qur’aanic Verses and authentic Prophetic traditions and

rejects all blemishes as to Allah's Attributes."

Belief in the Angels

A Muslim should believe in all Allah's angels, whom He created

to worship Him and whom He describes as "honored slaves."

(Soorah 21 :26) and that:

"He knows what is before them, and what is behind

them, and they cannot intercede except for him with

Page 93: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear of

Him." (Soorah 21:28)

The angels fall into different categories and they are assigned

different duties. There are, amongst others, those who bear

the Throne of Allah (Soorah 40:7), those who guard Paradise

and Hell, and those who record the slave's deeds, to mention

but a few.

A Muslim should believe in those whom Allah named such as

Jibril (Gabriel), Mika'il, Malik the Guardian of Hell-fire, and

Israfil, who is in charge of blowing in the Trumpet.

'

Aishah reported that the Prophet said: "The angels were

created from light, the jinn were created from a smokeless

flame of fire, and Adam was created from what has been

described to you." (Muslim)

Belief in the Books

A Muslim should believe that Allah had sent down Books upon

His Prophets and Messengers to clarify His Right and to call to

it, as the Qur’aan says:

"Indeed We have sent Messengers with clear proofs,

and revealed with them the Scripture and the Balance

(Justice) that mankind may keep up justice." (Soorah

57:25)

"Mankind were one community and Allah sent Prophets

with glad tidings and warnings, and with them He sent

the Scripture in truth to judge between people in

Page 94: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

matters wherein they differed." (Soorah 2:2 13)

A Muslim should also believe in the Revealed Books that Allah

named, such as the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, and the

Qur’aan. The Glorious Qur’aan is the final and the best of all

these Books. It confirms the Scriptures that came before it

and is a witness over it, testifying the truth and falsifying the

falsehood therein. All Muslims should follow its commands,

shun its prohibitions and refer to its rulings to settle their

differences. They should also follow the authentic Sunnah of

the Prophet ! because Allah sent Muhammad ! to both the

jinn and mankind and sent down the Noble Qur’aan to judge

between them. He also made it a healing for the diseases,

such as hypocrisy, ignorance and doubt, an exposition of

everything, and a guidance and mercy for those who believe.

The Qur’aan says:

"And this is a Book (i.e., the Qur’aan) which We have

sent down as a blessing, so follow it and fear Allah, that

you may receive mercy." (Soorah 6: 155)

"And We have sent down to you the Book (i.e., the

Qur’aan) as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a

mercy, and glad tidings to Muslims." (Soorah 16:89)

"Say (O Muhammad): 'O mankind! I am sent to you all

as the Messenger of Allah, to Whom belongs the

dominion of the heavens and the earth there is no God

worthy of worship but He; it is He Who gives life and

causes death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger,

Page 95: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e.,

Muhammad !), who believes in Allah and His Words:

follow him that you may be guided." (Soorah 7:158)

The Qur’aanic Verses to this effect are many.

Belief in the Messengers

A Muslim should believe in all Allah's Messengers without

exception. He must believe that Allah sent mankind

Messengers from amongst them as warners, bearers of glad

tidings, and callers to the Truth. Whoever follows them will

certainly attain bliss and happiness, and whoever disobeys

them will be doomed and disgraced. Muhammad ! was the

best of all these Messengers. Allah says:

"And assuredly We have sent amongst every people a

Messenger (proclaiming), ' Worship Allah (Alone) and

avoid the worship of Taghut (false deities)." (Soorah

16:36)

"Messengers who gave good news as well as warning in

order that mankind should have no plea against Allah

after the Messengers." (Soorah 4:165)

"Muhammad is not the father of any man among you,

but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the

Prophets." (Soorah 33:40)

A Muslim should also believe in those Prophets and

Messengers that Allah or His Messenger was authentically

reported to have named, such as Nüh, Hud, Salih, and Ibrahim

– alaihum as-salaam

Page 96: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Belief in the Last Day

Belief in the Last Day includes the belief in all that which will

happen after death and about which Allah and his Messenger

! informed us. This includes the trial in the grave, the torment

or the bliss therein. This also includes the belief in all that will

be witnessed on the Day of Judgment, such as the Bridge set

over the Hell-fire, The Balance, Reckoning, Reward and

Punishment, the giving of the records, which the successful

believers will be given in their right hand while the wretched

disbelievers will be given in their left hand behind their back.

This also includes the belief in the River that will be given to

Prophet Muhammad !, belief in Paradise and Hell-fire, belief in

the believers' looking at their Lord and His talking to them. A

Muslim should believe in all these facts and others that are

clearly mentioned in the Qur’aan and authentically reported to

have been said by the Prophet.

Belief in the Divine Destiny

Belief in the Qadar (Divine Destiny) comprises four things:

First, the belief that Allah knows what has been and what will

be; He is Aware of everything concerning His slaves, knows

their provision and sustenance, their appointed terms on

earth, their deeds, and everything else relating to them.

Nothing is hidden from Him. The Qur’aan says:

"Verily, Allah is the All-Knower of everything." (58:7)

"That you may know that Allah has power over all

things, and that Allah comprehends all things in (His)

Page 97: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Knowledge." (Soorah 65:12)

Second, the belief that He keeps all that He decrees in a Clear

Book, or Al-Lauh-Al-Mahfuz, as the Qur’aan says:

"We know that which the earth takes of them (their

dead bodies), and with Us is a Book preserved (i.e., the

Book of Decrees)." (Soorah 50:4)

"And all things We have recorded in a Clear Book."

(Soorah 36:12)

He further says:

"Know you not that Allah knows all that is in heaven

and on earth? Indeed, it is all in a Book (Al-Lauh-Al-

Mahfuz), and that is easy for Allah." (Soorah 22:70)

Third, the belief that His Will is absolute and powerful and that

whatever He decrees will be, and whatever He does not decree

will never come to pass:

"Verily, Allah does what He wills." (Soorah 22:18)

"Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, 'Be',

and it is." (Soorah 36:82)

"And you will not will except as Allah Wills, the Lord of

the worlds." (81:29)

Fourth, the belief that He is the Sole Creator of all things, as

the Qur’aan says:

"Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the

Guardian and Disposer of all affairs." (39:62)

"O mankind! Remember the Grace of Allah Upon you! Is

there a creator other than Allah who provides for you

Page 98: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

from the sky and the earth? There is no God worthy of

worship except He. How then are you turning away

(from Him)?" (Soorah 35:3)

Belief in the Divine Destiny, therefore, comprises all these four

categories. This is the position of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah.

Only those who yield to innovations in religion deny some of

these categories.

The belief in Allah also includes the belief that Faith comprises

both words and deeds, that this Faith increases with acts of

obedience and decreases as a result of committing acts of

disobedience, and that it is not permissible to accuse a Muslim

of disbelief, or Kufr, as a result of committing acts of

disobedience and major sins, such as adultery, stealing, usury,

drinking alcohol, and disobedience to parents, as long as he or

she does not regard these sins permissible. The Qur’aan says:

"Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up

with Him in worship, but He forgives anything else, to

whom He pleases." (4:116)

Authentic Prophetic traditions also state that Allah will

ultimately take out of Hell-fire whoever has an atom's weight

of Faith.

Belief in Allah also necessitates love for His sake, hate for His

sake, and making friends and enemies for His sake. A true

believer loves the believers and takes them for friends, and

shows hate towards the disbelievers and does not take them

for friends. The best of the believers one should love are the

Page 99: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Companions of the Prophet !. Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah love

them and believe that they are the best of mankind after the

Prophets, as the Prophet said in the well-known authentic

tradition:

"The best of generations are my generation, then those

who follow them, then those who follow them."

They also believe that the best of them are in the following

order: Abu Bakr, then 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, then 'Uthman bin

'Affan, then 'Ali bin Abi Talib. Then there are those

Companions who were given the glad tidings of entering

Paradise, then the rest of the Companions. They keep their

tongue in check regarding the arguments that arose amongst

them and believe that they did their best to do only that which

they believed was right. Whoever was right in his judgment

would get a double reward, and whoever was wrong in his

judgment would get one reward. They also love the believing

members of the family of the Prophet and his wives the

Mothers of the Believers.

They free themselves from the position the Sheite Sect holds

in this regard. They (the Sheites) hate the Prophet's

Companions, blaspheme them, and place the Prophet's family

members in a position higher than that Allah chose for them.

They also declare themselves free from the position held by

An-Nawasib who harm the Prophet's family members in word

and deed.

What we have mentioned in this brief treatise on the true

Page 100: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

creed with which Allah sent His Messenger ! represents the

belief of the Saved Sect, that of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jama 'ah,

about which the Prophet said:

"A group of my followers will continue to be given

victory while holding on to the Truth, no harm will be

done to them by those who forsake them until Allah's

Command comes to pass."

He also said:

"The Jews were divided into seventy-one sects, the Christians

were divided into seventy-two sects, and my followers will be

divided into seventy-three sects which will all be (punished) in

Hell-fire with the exception of one."

When the Companions asked him to identify it, he replied:

"Those who are upon that which my Companions and I

follow."

Indeed, this is the authentic creed one should follow.

Those who contradict and deviate from this belief fall into

many categories. They include, among others, those who

worship idols, angels, saints, the jinn, trees, and stones.

These people have not followed the call of Allah's Messengers;

rather they stubbornly rejected their call. This is exactly what

the Quraish and some other Arab tribes did when Prophet

Muhammad ! came with the Truth from His Lord. They used

to beseech their false gods to fulfill their needs, heal their sick,

and grant them victory over their enemy. They would also

offer sacrifices to them and make vows in their names. When

Page 101: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

the Prophet ! disapproved of their foolish beliefs and called

them to worship Allah Alone and not to associate any partner

with Him in worship, they replied:

"Has he made the gods (all) into one God? Truly this is

a strange thing!" (Soorah 38:5)

The Prophet did not yield to despair. He continued calling them

to worship Allah Alone, warning them against associating

others with Him in worship, and explaining to them the reality

of Islam. His efforts eventually paid off when they entered

Allah's religion in crowds. Islam then reigned supreme and

prevailed over all religions due to the huge efforts made by

the Prophet, his Companions, and those who followed them in

righteousness. The situation changed again after ignorance

dominated and an overwhelming majority of people reverted

to their foolish, ignorant practices, including the commission of

all forms of Shirk. This phenomenon is increasingly spreading

in our present-day society because of ignorance.

The argument these people put forward is not different from

that of their predecessors, namely:

"These are our intercessors with Allah." (Soorah 10:18)

And:

"We only worship them in order that they may bring us

closer to Allah." (39:3)

Allah refuted this false claim and made it clear to them that

worshipping any other person or thing other than Allah is

blatant Shirk and disbelief. The Qur’aan says:

Page 102: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"They worship, besides Allah, what can hurt them not

nor profit them, and they say: 'These are our

intercessors with Allah." (Soorah 10:18)

Allah refuted this claim in the same Verse thus:

"Say: 'Do you indeed inform Allah of something He

knows not, in the heavens or on earth? Glory be to Him!

And far is He above the partners they ascribe to Him!”

(Soorah 10:18)

These Verses clearly indicate that worshipping Prophets, saints

and others besides Him is a major form of Shirk, which is an

unpardonable sin. Only those who commit it have invented

this name. The Qur’aan says:

"We only worship them in order that they may bring us

closer to Allah." (Soorah 39:3)

Allah refuted their false claim thus:

"Truly Allah will judge between them in that wherein

they differ. But Allah guides not him who is a liar and a

disbeliever." (Soorah 39:3)

In this Verse, therefore, Allah makes it crystal clear that the

worship they offer to other than Him, whether in the form of

invocation, hope, fear or otherwise, is blatant disbelief. He

also calls them liars when they claim that their false gods

bring them closer to Allah.

There are a number of ideologies and philosophies in our

present time which contradict this true belief in every detail.

The followers of these ideologies and philosophies, which were

Page 103: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

invented, by Marx, Lenin and others who call to atheism and

disbelief, give their beliefs different names, such as socialism,

communism, and Ba'thism. These people are in essence

disbelievers, because they do not believe in the Last Day,

Paradise and Hell. They also reject all religions because they

claim that there is no god and that life is only matter. Those

who follow these ideologies and philosophies will certainly bear

the worst of consequences both in this life and in the

Hereafter.

Other beliefs, which contradict the true belief, include Al-

Batinyyah and Sufism whose followers believe that their socalled

saints are Allah's partners in His rule and disposition of

the world's affairs. They give them such names as Aqtab,

Awtad, and Aghwath. Indeed, this is the worst form of Shirk

with relation to Allah's Lordship; it is even far worse than the

form of Shirk which was prevalent in Pre-Islamic Arabia, for

the Arabs at that time joined partners with Allah only in

worship not in His Lordship. As the Qur’aan says:

"And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah,

making their Faith pure for Him only: but when He

brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of

their worship to others.” (Soorah 29:65)

"If you ask them who created them, they will certainly

say, 'Allah." (Soorah 43:87)

"Say: 'Who provides for you from the sky and from the

earth? Or who has power over hearing and sight? And

Page 104: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

who brings out the living from the dead and the dead

from the living? And who rules and regulates all

affairs?' They will certainly say, 'Allah.' Say: 'Will you

not then show piety (to Him)?" (Soorah 10:31)

Those who commit Shirk these days are worse than their

predecessors in that some of them join partners with Allah in

Lordship and that they commit Shirk in both times of ease and

hardship. This is quite obvious from their practices at the

shrines of Al-Hussein, Al-Badawi and others in Egypt, the

shrine of Al-Eidarous in Aden, the shrine of Al-Hadi in Yemen,

the shrine of Ibn 'Arabi in Syria, the shrine of 'Abdul-Qadir Al-

Jilani in Iraq, and other well-known shrines across the Muslim

World. To make matters worse, there are only a few people

who take great pains to remind these ignorant people of the

reality of TawhId with which Allah sent His Messenger. We

pray to Allah Almighty to guide them to the Truth and to help

Muslim leaders combat and uproot this phenomenon.

Of the beliefs that contradict the true belief with regard to

Allah's Names and Attributes are the beliefs held by Al-

Jahmiyah and Al-Mu'tazilah sects and their likes. These sects

completely ignore Allah's Lofty, Perfect Attributes as though

He is non-existent or an inanimate being! Far is He above

what they say about Him!

Al-Asha'irah is another sect that deny some of the Attributes

while confirming others, thus contradicting clear logical as well

as textual evidence from the Qur’aan and authentic Prophetic

Page 105: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

traditions.

The correct and true belief is that of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-

Jama'ah who confirm all the Names and Attributes that Allah

has confirmed for Himself in the Qur'aan or through His

Prophet. They set Him far above His creation, as there is no

one who bears resemblance to Him in anything. They refer to

all proofs in the Qur'aan and the Sunnah without twisting the

meaning thereof in the least. In this way they avoided

confusion into which others have fallen. This belief is the way

to salvation and bliss in this life and in the Hereafter. It is the

Straight Path, which was followed by the pious predecessors

and their leaders. The condition of the present-day Muslims

will not be rectified except by following the same path of the

predecessors who held tight to Allah's Book and the Sunnah of

His Messenger and shunned all that contradict them.

The Invalidators of Islam

You should know, dear Muslim brother, that Allah made it

obligatory upon all His slaves to enter Islam and hold on to it,

and warned them against following other than Islam. He also

sent His Prophet Muhammad to call mankind to it. Allah has

informed us in the Qur’aan that guided are those who follow

the teachings of Islam, and misguided are those who reject

them. He warned us in many Verses against the causes of

apostasy and all forms of Shirk and disbelief Religious scholars

have mentioned that there are a number of invalidators that

are bound to take one out of the fold of Islam. For the sake of

Page 106: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

attaining salvation in the Hereafter, I have briefly cited in the

following pages, with some explanation, the ten most critical

of these invalidators so that you will avoid them and make

others aware of them.

1 . To associate others with Allah in worship.

The Qur’aan says:

"Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners with

Him in worship, but He forgives whom He pleases other

sins than this." (Soorah 4: 1 16)

"Whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, Allah

will forbid him Paradise, and the Fire will be his abode.

For the wrongdoers there are no helpers." (Soorah 5:72)

Forms of worship include calling upon the dead, seeking their

assistance, offering sacrifices to them, and taking vows in

their names.

2. To set up intermediaries between oneself and Allah, seeking

their intercession and putting absolute trust in them. Those

who do so are unanimously considered disbelievers.

3. Not to accuse polytheists and those who commit Shirk or

disbelief, to be in doubt as to their being disbelievers, or to

approve of their beliefs.

4. To believe that the Prophet's guidance is not complete or

perfect or that other people's ruling and judgment is better

than his. Those who prefer the rule of false gods are blatant

5 . Those who hate anything that the Prophet came with are

also disbelievers even if they act upon them. The Qur’aan

Page 107: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

says:

"That is because they hate that which Allah sent down,

so He has made their deeds fruitless." (Soorah 47:9)

6. Those who ridicule anything that Islam came with, such as

punishment and reward in the Hereafter, are disbelievers. The

Qur’aan says:

"Say: 'Was it at Allah, and His Signs, and His Messenger,

that you were mocking? Make no excuse; you have

rejected Faith after you had accepted it." (9:65,66)

7. Magic in all its forms, including turning someone away from

somebody that he or she loves, and making someone love

someone or something he or she does not normally like.

Whoever practices magic or approves of it is a disbeliever, as

evidenced by the Qur’aanic Verse that says:

"But neither of these (two angels) taught anyone (such

things) without saying, We are only for trial, so

disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." (Soorah

2:102)

8. To take the disbelievers for friends, give them support and

assistance against the Muslims is an act of disbelief. The

Qur’aan says:

"And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship)

is of them. Verily Allah guides not a people unjust."

(Soorah 5:51)

9. Those who believe that it is in their power or authority to

forsake the law of Islam are disbelievers. The Qur’aan says:

Page 108: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will

never be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will

be one of the losers." (Soorah 3:85)

10. To turn away from Islam and to stubbornly refuse to learn

its teachings or act upon them. The Qur’aan says:

"And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of

the Signs of his Lord, then he turns away there from?

Verily from those who transgress We shall exact (due)

retribution."

Relief Through Supplication

Shaykh Saalih Muhammad Aal Taali

Muharram 18, 1424 (March 21, 2003

All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of all the worlds. Peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Prophet, his household and companions.

Fellow Muslims! Fear Allaah and be dutiful to Him. Stay away from sins. For sins destroy. Know that you have a Lord Whom you are going to meet and a house in which you are going to live after your death. Seek the pleasure of your Lord before you meet Him and properly build your house before you move into it.

Fellow Muslims! We are the ummah of Qur’aan and Sunnah, the ummah of divine guidance. We are the ummah of the right path but we did not stay on this path.

Brethren in faith! All hardships and tribulations that afflict the Muslims are just like whips that drive them back to Eemaan and Tawheed. They remind them of Allaah the Almighty; they encourage them to turn back to Him in repentance and to fear the Day of Judgement. Allaah says:

“See they not that they are tried once or twice every year (with different kinds of calamities, disease, famine)? Yet, they turn not in repentance, nor do they learn a lesson (from it).” (At-Tawbah 9:126)

Materialism has prevailed over the hearts of many people, and as a result they see nothing except in the light of materials. It is when man keeps away from the light of Eemaan and his relationship with Allaah becomes weak that his soul lives in spiritual isolation and his heart becomes hardened. He then lives a disturbed and fearful life. All this is a result of his abandonment of the real source of life and his forgetfulness of Allaah. He forgets that it is Allaah Who created the soul and Who knows the means by which it lives. The life is not that of the body but of the soul. Allaah says,

Page 109: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

“Is he who was dead (without Faith by ignorance and disbelief) and We gave him life (by knowledge and Faith) and set for him a light (of Belief) whereby he can walk amongst men - like him who is in the darkness (of disbelief, polytheism and hypocrisy) from which he can never come out?” (Al-An‘aam 6:122)

Hence, belief in Allaah is the source of security and peace. And the hearts that are devoid of Eemaan are always far from Allaah and are full of fright and confusion.

Fellow Muslims! When a man’s heart is full of Eemaan, he knows his place of refuge and the remedy for his ailments. For this life is based on toil and man is seldom free from dangers. He suffers ailments and calamities; sorrows and wars; injustice and transgression and all kinds of tribulations. However, Allaah is Ever Compassionate with His slaves. He always provides for them relief through a door of His mercy and blesses them with tranquillity and peace of mind. That door is the door of supplication to Allaah, humbling oneself before Him and putting one’s trust in Him. For supplications are the security of the frightened, the refuge of the weak and the solace of invocators. Who is He that has sought refuge with Allaah and has not been protected and who is he that has relied on Him and has not been given guidance?

Supplication is the essence of worship. Allaah says,

“And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship (i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness, they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!” (Ghaafir 40:60)

He also says,

“And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.” (Al-Baqarah 2:186)

Supplication is the dearest thing to Allaah. It is the way to patience in the cause of Allaah. It is a sign of sincere dependence on Allaah and keeping away from incapacity and laziness. It is an easy-to-make act of worship and it can be done at all places and times. Allaah tells us that Prophet Ibraaheem said,

“And I shall turn away from you and from those whom you invoke besides Allaah. And I shall call on my Lord and I hope that I shall not be unblessed in my invocation to my Lord.” (Maryam 19:48)

Many are the afflictions that have been removed by supplications! Many are the sins that have been forgiven through invocations! And many are the blessings that have been endowed through supplications! The Messenger of Allaah said, “What has been destined cannot be prevented from happening. Invocation is helpful in things that have happened and things that have not happened. Calamity and supplication sometimes meet and engage in duel till the Day of Resurrection.” (Al-Haakim)

Supplication is the worship of the Prophets. Allaah says about them,

“Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us.” (Al-Anbiyaa 21:90)

The Messenger of Allaah said, “No Muslim makes a supplication in which there is no sin or severing of the tie of kinship except that Allaah gives him by that one of three things: He gives him what he asked for immediately or He saves for him by that supplication some reward (which He gives him on the Day of Resurrection) or He saves him from a calamity which is equivalent to the supplication he made.” The

Page 110: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

companions then said: ‘We will then make more supplications.’ The Messenger of Allaah replied: “And Allaah also will give more.” (Ahmad)

When Prophet Ibraaheem called upon Allaah after he was thrown into fire, Allaah commanded the fire saying:

"O fire! Be you coolness and safety for Ibraaheem (Abraham)!” (Al-Anbiyaa 21:69)

Allaah also says about Prophet Ayyoob,

“And (remember) Ayyoob (Job), when he cried to his Lord: "Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy. So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his family to him (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, as a mercy from Ourselves and a Reminder for all those who worship Us.” (Al-Anbiyaa 21:83-84)

He says about Prophet Yoonus,

“So We answered his call, and delivered him from the distress. And thus We do deliver the believers (who believe in the Oneness of Allaah, abstain from evil and work righteousness).” (Al-Anbiyaa 21:88)

And about Prophet Zakariyya He says,

“And (remember) Zakariyya (Zechariah), when he cried to his Lord: "O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors. So We answered his call, and We bestowed upon him Yahyaa (John), and cured his wife (to bear a child) for him.” (Al-Anbiyaa 21:89-90)

O you who is afflicted with calamities! O you who has been weakened by ailments! O you who have been overwhelmed by debts! Why don’t you call upon Allaah the Self-Sufficient and the Most Gracious? O you who have been submerged by sins! Why can’t you call upon Allaah the Oft-Forgiving to forgive you? O you who lives in fear and distress! Why can’t you call upon Allaah to give you relief?

Brethren in Islaam! The nation of Islaam has experienced many crises and hardships and it was only through sincere return to Allaah that it was able overcome those hardships. Allaah says,

“Verily, We sent (Messengers) to many nations before you (O Muhammad) And We seized them with extreme poverty (or loss in wealth) and loss in health (with calamities) so that they might humble themselves (believe with humility). When Our Torment reached them, why then did they not humble themselves (believe with humility)? But their hearts became hardened.” (Al-An’aam 6:42)

Even some ancient polytheists would sincerely call upon Allaah alone whenever they were faced with calamities.

The Muslim nation is now in dire need of the mercy of its Lord as it is in need of His help. Let us return to Allaah, invoke His blessings and hope for His mercy.

Fellow Muslims! Supplication has its condition and manners, which every Muslim must learn in order to have his supplications answered. Foremost among these is that the intention and means of supplication should be compatible with Islaamic Monotheism. It is this condition that makes supplication an act of worship that must be solely directed to Allaah alone. Man must call, seek assistance from and seek refuge with Allaah alone.. He must seek forgiveness, victory, guidance, realization of his goals and aid from Allaah alone. He should ask only Allaah for the removal of his afflictions and for security against all evils.

Page 111: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

All these are rights of Allaah over His slaves. Man must call upon Allaah alone. For neither does slumber or sleep overtakes Him. It is He alone who hears the supplication of the supplicants wherever they are and whichever language they speak. He is never distracted by a slave whom he listens to from listening to another and He is never annoyed because of the multitude of those who call upon Him. He alone has the power to give benefit or harm.

It is therefore an act of associating partners with Him to call upon the dead, the angels, the jinn and others besides Him. He says about Himself,

“He is the Ever Living. None has the right to be worshipped but He; so invoke Him making your worship pure for Him Alone (by worshipping Him Alone, and none else, and by doing righteous deeds sincerely for Allaah’s sake only, and not to show off, and not setting up rivals with Him in worship).” (Ghaafir 40:65)

The observer of the invocations of the Prophets will notice that Tawheed characterizes them. An example of this is the invocation made by Prophet Yoonus,

“He cried through the darkness (saying): None has the right to be worshipped but You (O, Allaah) Glorified (and Exalted) are You (above all that (evil) they associate with You). Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers.” (Al-Anbiyaa 21:87)

Allaah answered his supplication through Tawheed.

Brethren in Islaam! The supplicant should make sure that he follows the Sunnah while making the supplication. He should call upon Allaah with His sublime Names and Attributes. He should seek for His forgiveness and acknowledge His favour on him. It is good if he starts his supplication with praising Allaah as it is due and invoking His blessing on His Prophet, Muhammad –peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him. The supplicant should also not transgress while making supplication nor be in haste to have his supplication answered. He should also not despair. For the One he calls is the Graceful Lord.

Further, the supplicant must be a sincere believer. He should face the qiblah while making the supplication and should be sure that he is in the state of purity. He should raise his hands to Allaah. He should be resolute in his supplication, supplicate at the times when invocations are most likely answered and select the supplications that are authentically reported from the Prophet. He should also not forget to make a sadaqah before his supplication. If he can do all these, his supplication will never be rejected. If he however does not see a sign of the acceptance of his supplication, let him examine himself.

The Messenger of Allaah said, “O you people! Allaah is Pure and does not accept but only that which is pure. He indeed commands the believer with that which He commanded the Messengers. He says:

“O (you) Messengers! Eat of the lawful foods (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, fruits, etc.), and do righteous deeds. Verily! I am Well-Acquainted with what you do.” (Al-Mu’minoon 23:51)

And He commands the believers saying:

“O you who believe! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to Allaah, if it is indeed He Whom you worship.” (Al-Baqarah 2:172)

The Messenger of Allaah then mentioned a man who was on a long journey, and he was shoeless and dust-covered. He was raising his hands to heavens saying: O my Lord! O my Lord!’ while his food, drink, dress and nourishment were all from unlawful sources. How could his supplication be answered?” (Muslim)

Page 112: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Brethren in faith! Listen to this call from your Lord:

“Invoke your Lord with humility and in secret. He likes not the aggressors. And do not do mischief on the earth, after it has been set in order, and invoke Him with fear and hope. Surely, Allaah’s Mercy is (ever) near unto the good-doers.” (Al-A‘raaf 7:55-56)

Fellow Muslims! Whoever fears Allaah in times of ease Allaah, Allaah will stand by him in times of hardship. Allaah says about Prophet Yoonus when the whale swallowed him:

“Had he not been of them who glorify Allaah, He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.” (As-Saaffaat 37:143-144)

Which means: Had it not been for the good deeds that he had done before, he would have been made to remain in the belly of the whale till the Day of Resurrection.

The Muslim must therefore remain steadfast during afflictions and return to Allaah in repentance.

Brethren in Islaam! We are also in dire need of uniting our ranks and removing our differences. For disunity is the cause of failure. Allaah says,

“O you who believe! When you meet (an enemy) force, take a firm stand against them and remember the Name of Allaah much (both with tongue and mind), so that you may be successful. And obey Allaah and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allaah is with those who are patient.” (Al-Anfaal 8:45-46)

Fellow Muslims! Let us always follow the teachings of Qur’aan and Sunnah. It is the duty of the scholars to teach people and direct them to all that can benefit them and remove their distress. They should remind people of Allaah and teach them the importance of unity and the harm of disunity

Realities of Awrad:

Grand Shaykh said, "If someone reads Fatiha, he will not leave this world without attaining those Divine Favors that are hidden behind the meaning of the Fatiha which enable him to reach a state of submission to Allah, Almighty and Exalted. The blessings that Allah has sent down with the Fatiha when it was revealed to the Prophet (s) will never cease, and will last forever, with the one who recites the Fatiha. No one is able to know how much blessings there are except Allah and His Messenger (s). Whoever recites surat al-Fatiha, with the intention of sharing in these tajallis, will attain a high position and a great rank. And whoever recites without this intention, gets general Divine Favors only. This surah possesses innumerable and limitless stations (maqamat) in the Sight of Allah, Who is Powerful and Sublime.

He will enter the Circle of Security in the Presence of Allah Almighty and Exalted, and he will reach all the stations of the Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order. He will be an inheritor of the Secret of the Prophet (s) and of saints, and will arrive at the stage of Bayazid al-Bistami, the Imam of the Order, who said, "I am the Truth (al-Haqq)." This is the magnificent tajalli (manifestation) which belongs to this ayat, and to other ayats also.

GrandShaykh Khalid al-Baghdadi, one of the imams of this Order, received the Vision and the Secret of this Ayat, through which Allah made him special for his time.

Page 114: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Surah Inshira: On each letter and on each ayat there is a tajalli which is different from that on any other. Whoever recites an ayat or letter of the Qur'an, will attain the Divine grace that is particular to that ayat or letter

If anyone recites this Surat of Qur'an, he will receive those Divine Graces, tajallis and virtues. Whoever wishes to obtain these virtues, must keep these awrad daily along with his obligations. Then he will gain True Life and Eternal Life.

Surah Nas & Falak: Since they mark the end of the Qur'an, they are linked and associated with the completion of the Divine Graces and tajallis. By means of these awrad, the Masters of the Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order became Oceans of Knowledge and Gnosis. GrandShaykh Abdullah ad-Daghestani said, "You have now reached the beginning, where each verse, letter and surah of the Qur'an has its own special tajalli, which do not resemble any others. For that reason the Messenger of Allah said, "I have left three things with my Ummah, death which makes them afraid, true dreams which give them good tidings, and the Qur'an which addresses them." By means of the Qur'an Allah will open up the gates of Divine Grace in the Last Times, as it came down in the time of the Holy Prophet and the Companions, and in the times of the khalifas, and in the time of the saints.

These stations and continuous Divine Graces are closely bound together and they cannot be separated, so any deficiency in the awrad will automatically create a deficiency in the Divine Graces being sent down. As an example, if we want to wash our hands, we may wait in front of the tap for water to come out. If the pipes do not connect properly so that the water escapes before reaching the tap, then, no matter how long we wait, the water will not flow out. So we must not let any deficiency enter our dhikr until we obtain all the tajallis and Divine Graces.

These awrad for the of followers, must be performed once every 24 hours, together with all other obligations, according to the shari'ah of the Prophet (s). Everything which the Prophet (s) brought was founded in these awrad. It is the way that the slave reaches the key of nearness to Allah, Who is Powerful and Sublime. It was by means of it that the prophets, messengers and saints reached their Creator, and it is by means of these awrad that we reach all these stations of the Most Distinguished Tariqat.

The Masters of the Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order say that whoever claims that he is affiliated to one of the 40 Orders, or to the most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order, but nevertheless has not entered seclusion (khalwat) even once in his life, and then such a person should be ashamed of connecting himself with the People of the Path.

In our time, Grand Shaykh Abdullah ad-Dagestani said, "Whichever of the People of the Last Time (akhir az-zaman), wishes to attain a high rank and an exalted state, and get what a murid normally gets by means of seclusion (khalwat), and spiritual exercises, then he must continuously perform these awrad (Dhikr). With this awrad we have set the foundations for the higher stations, which are built on this foundation. The murid ought to know that if he fails to attain an exalted station and high grade in this world because of his lack of effort, then he shall not be separated from this world, but that the Shaykhs make him reach it, and reveal for him his station, either during his lifetime, or at the time of the seven last breaths during the agonies of death."

"If anyone performs these awrad (dhikr) and then performs an action which is forbidden he will be like the one who builds his house on the side of a cliff, and then his house collapses down the side of the cliff. So we should always be aware of our actions, gauging them to see if they are halal or haram, if Allah is going to be angry with our actions or not. And we need to think about every action that we are about to do so much that ultimately we do not do any haram thing which might weaken our foundation. And that is why we have to think before every action. As the Prophet (s) said in his hadith 'One hour's contemplation is better than seventy years of worship.' We should perform our actions in the perfectly correct way that is to say without any haram deeds intervening."

Page 115: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"On this basis Allah has divided the day into three parts: eight hours for worship, eight hours for earning a living and eight hours for sleeping. Anyone who does not accept and follow this division of energies will exemplify the hadith, 'He who is erratic will be erratic in the Hellfire.' He who goes according to his own will and reasoning does not progress and he who wishes to obtain exalted stations, levels and stages which previous generations earned by means of retreats and other spiritual exercises, must remember Allah throughout the course of the day."

GrandShaykh continued, "He who makes a regular practice of the awrad (dhikr) shall attain the Water of True Life, and with it he will perform ablution. He will bathe in it and drink it and by means of it shall he reach his goal. There is such a person who claims that he has been in the Order for thirty years, and as yet has not seen anything and not attained anything. The answer to that person is to search and look at his actions over the past years. How many deficient actions has he performed? When you know the deficiency you should quickly avoid it, then you will reach Allah Who is Powerful and Sublime. When the murid forsakes that which the Shaykhs have told him to do of the daily duty (wazifa), then he will be absolutely incapable of making further progress and he will be unable to reach any state he had previously attained. No Prophet ever attained prophethood, nor did any saint ever attain sainthood, and no believer ever attained the stage of faith without utilizing his time for his daily dhikr."

Then one of the angels addressed her and spoke, ‘Oh Amina, I bring you good news of the blessed boy you bear, for this son is meant to be the last and the seal of all prophets, and the prince of them all, and a leader of his people. Allah Almighty bears witness to this from his beginning up to the end. When you have given birth to this blessed child, recite over him these words for his protection:

Understanding Ruqya { Talisman/Healing}4. Narrated Ibn `Abbas (Allah be well pleased with him)

Some of the companions of the Prophet passed by some people staying at a place where there was water, and one of those people had been stung by a scorpion. A man from those staying near the water, came and said to the companions of the Prophet, "Is there anyone among you who can do Ruqya as near the water there is a person who has been stung by a scorpion."

• So one of the Prophet's companions went to him and recited Surat-al-Fatiha for a sheep as his fees. • The patient got cured and the man brought the sheep to his companions who disliked that and said,

"You have taken wages for reciting Allah's Book." When they arrived at Medina, they said, ' • O Allah's Apostle! (This person) has taken wages for reciting Allah's Book" • On that Allah's Apostle said, "You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's

Book." (Saheeh Bukhari)

The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:

What is the definition of the evil eye? Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from the evil of the envier when he envies”

[al-Falaq 113:5]

Is the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saheeh in which it says that “One third of those who are in the grave are there because of the evil eye”? If a person thinks that someone is envying him, what should the Muslim do and say? If the person who put the evil eye on someone washes himself, will the water he used bring healing to his victim? And should he drink the water or wash himself with it?

They replied:

The Arabic word al-‘ayn (translated as the evil eye) refers to when a person harms another with his eye. It starts when the person likes a thing, then his evil feelings affect it, by means of his repeated looking at the object of his jealousy. Allaah commanded His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to seek refuge with Him from the envier, as He said (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from the evil of the envier when he envies”

[al-Falaq 113:5]

Everyone who puts the evil eye on another is envious, but not every envier puts the evil eye on another. The word haasid (envier) is more general in meaning than the word ‘aa’in (one who puts the evil eye on another), so seeking refuge with Allaah from the one who envies includes seeking refuge with Him from the one who puts the evil eye on another. The evil eye is like an arrow which comes from the soul of the one who envies

Page 138: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

and the one who puts the evil eye on another towards the one who is envied and on whom the evil eye is put; sometimes it hits him and sometimes it misses. If the target is exposed and unprotected, it will affect him, but if the target is cautious and armed, the arrow will have no effect and may even come back on the one who launched it.

Adapted from Zaad al-Ma’aad.

There are ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which speak of the effects of the evil eye. For example it is narrated in al-Saheehayn that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to tell me to recite ruqyah for protection against the evil eye.

Muslim, Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The evil eye is real and if anything were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye. When you are asked to take a bath (to provide a cure) from the influence of the evil eye, you should take a bath.” This was classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi, and also by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1251.

Imam Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi (2059, where he classed it as saheeh) narrated that Asma’ bint ‘Umays said: “O Messenger of Allaah, the children of Ja’far have been afflicted by the evil eye, shall we recite ruqyah for them?” He said, “Yes, for if anything were to overtake the divine decree it would be the evil eye.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

Abu Dawood narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The person who had put the evil eye on another would be ordered to do wudoo’, then the person who had been afflicted would wash himself (with that water). This was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

Imam Ahmad (15550), Maalik (1811), al-Nasaa’i and Ibn Hibbaan narrated from Sahl ibn Haneef that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came out and traveled with him towards Makkah, until they were in the mountain pass of al-Kharaar in al-Jahfah. There Sahl ibn Haneef did ghusl, and he was a handsome white-skinned man with beautiful skin. ‘Aamir ibn Rabee’ah, one of Banu ‘Adiyy ibn Ka’b looked at him whilst he was doing ghusl and said: “I have never seen such beautiful skin as this, not even the skin of a virgin,” and Sahl fell to the ground. They went to Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, can you do anything for Sahl, because by Allaah he cannot raise his head.” He said, “Do you accuse anyone with regard to him?” They said, “ ‘Aamir ibn Rabee’ah looked at him.” So the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) called ‘Aamir and rebuked him strongly. He said, “Why would one of you kill his brother? If you see something that you like, then pray for blessing for him.” Then he said to him, “Wash yourself for him.” So he washed his face, hands, forearms, knees and the sides of his feet, and inside his izaar (lower garment) in the vessel. Then that water was poured over him, and a man poured it over his head and back from behind. He did that to him, then Sahl got up and joined the people and there was nothing wrong with him.

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Mishkaat, 4562.

The majority of scholars are of the view that people can indeed be afflicted by the evil eye, because of the ahaadeeth quoted above and others, and because of the corroborating reports and other evidence.

With regard to the hadeeth that you mention, “One third of those who are in the grave are there because of the evil eye,” we do not know how sound it is, but the author of Nayl al-Awtaar said that al-Bazzaar narrated with a hasan isnaad from Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Most of those who die among my ummah die because of the will and decree of Allaah, and then because of the evil eye.”

Page 139: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The Muslim has to protect himself against the devils among the evil jinn and mankind, by having strong faith in Allaah and by putting his trust in Him and seeking refuge with Him and beseeching Him, reciting the prayers for protection narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), reciting al-Mi’wadhatayn [the last two soorahs of the Qur’aan], Soorat al-Ikhlaas, Soorat al-Faatihah, and Aayat al-Kursi.

Du’aa’s for protection include the following:

A’oodhu bi kalimaat-illaah il-taammati min sharri ma khalaqa (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of that which He has created).

A’oodhu bi kalimaat-illaah il-taammati min ghadabihi wa ‘iqaabihi, wa min sharri ‘ibaadihi wa min hamazaat al-shayaateeni wa an yahduroon (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from His wrath and punishment, from the evil of His slaves and from the evil promptings of the devils and from their presence).

And one may recite the words of Allaah:

“Hasbi Allaahu laa ilaaha illa huwa, ‘alayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa Rabb ul-‘arsh il-‘azeem

(Allaah is sufficient for me. Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne)”[al-Tawbah 9:129 – interpretation of the meaning]

And there are other similar du’aa’s that are prescribed in sharee’ah. This is what was meant by Ibn al-Qayyim in the words quoted at the beginning of this answer.

If it is known or suspected that a person has been afflicted by the evil eye, then the one who put the evil eye on him should be ordered to wash himself for his brother. So a vessel of water should be brought, and he should put his hand in it, rinse out his mouth into the vessel. Then he should wash his face in the vessel, then put his left hand into the vessel and wash his right knee, then put his right hand in the vessel and wash his left knee. Then he should wash inside his garment. Then the water should be poured over the head of the one on whom he put the evil eye, pouring it from behind in one go. Then he will be healed, by Allaah’s leave.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Buhooth al-‘Ilmiyyah wa’l-Ifta, 1/186

Shaykh Muhammad al-Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen was asked:

Can the evil eye afflict a person? How is it treated? Does being on one's guard against it contradict putting one's trust in Allaah?

He replied:

Our opinion concerning the evil eye is that it is real and is proven both by Islamic teachings and by real life experiences. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And verily, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes (through hatred)”

[al-Qalam 68:51]

Ibn ‘Abbaas and others said, commenting on this verse: this means, they put the evil eye on you with their glances. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The evil eye is real and if anything

Page 140: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

were to overtake the divine decree, it would be the evil eye. When you are asked to take a bath (to provide a cure) from the influence of the evil eye, you should take a bath.” Narrated by Muslim. Al-Nasaa’i and Ibn Maajah narrated that ‘Aamir ibn Rabee’ah passed by Sahl ibn Haneef when he was bathing… and he quoted the hadeeth.

Reality confirms that and it cannot be denied.

In the event that you are afflicted by the evil eye, you should use the treatments recommended in sharee’ah, which are:

1 – Reciting ruqyah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “There is no ruqyah except in the case of the evil eye or fever.” al-Tirmidhi, 2057; Abu Dawood, 3884. Jibreel used to do ruqyah for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and say, “Bismillaahi arqeeka min kulli shay’in yu’dheeka, min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin haasid Allaahu yashfeek, bismillaahi arqeek (In the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you, from everything that is harming you, from the evil of every soul or envious eye may Allaah heal you, in the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you).”

2 – Asking the person who has put the evil eye on another to wash, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded ‘Aamir ibn Rabee’ah to do in the hadeeth quoted above. Then the water should be poured over the one who has been afflicted.

With regard to taking his waste, such as his urine and stools, there is no basis for doing so; the same applies to taking any of his belongings. Rather what is narrated is that which is mentioned above, washing his limbs and washing inside his garment, or likewise washing inside his headgear and garments. And Allaah knows best.

There is nothing wrong with taking precautions against the evil eye before it happens, and this does not contradict the idea of tawakkul (putting one's trust in Allaah). In fact this is tawakkul, because tawakkul means putting one’s trust in Allaah whilst also implementing the means that have been permitted or enjoined. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to seek refuge for al-Hasan and al-Husayn and say: U’eedhukuma bi kalimaat Allaah al-taammati min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli ‘aynin laammah (I seek refuge for you both in the perfect words of Allaah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).’” Al-Tirmidhi, 2060; Abu Dawood, 4737. And he would say, “Thus Ibraaheem used to seek refuge with Allaah for Ishaaq and Ismaa’eel, peace be upon them both.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3371.

Protection of Black Magic in Islam'Magic' (the Arabic word for it is "SIHR") and 'magicians' (ie those who preform magic) is mentioned in the Holy Quran. Some examples are:

"But there are certain men of mankind who wouls take refuge with certain men of the Jinn, and they increased them in vileness" (62:6)

Page 141: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"Satan only desires to precipitate enmity and hatred between you in regard to wine and arrow-shuffling, and to bar you from the remembrance of Allah, and from salat. Will you then desist?" (5:91)

"O believers, follow not the steps of Satan, assuredly he bids to indecency and dishonour." (24:21)

There are also countless evidences form the sunnah regarding this subject and are referred to in such hadiths related by Bukhari, Iman Ahmad and Malik to name but a few.

Punishment under Islamic law for those who practice magic (Sihr), is the death penalty (as instructed by Iman Malik for example). The Holy Quran tells us that the practice of magic (Sihr) is forbidden and that those who do so, are unbelievers.

Magic can be performed against a man and wife, brother against brother, sister against sister, individual against someone looking for marraige, no name a few examples.

Below are a 15 protective measures against magic (Sihr):

1) Eat 7 pressed dates in the morning before eating any food if you can (preferably dates form Al-Madina). If this is not possible eat any pressed dates. The Prphet (PBUH) said: "Whoever eats seven pressed dates every morning before eating any food, will not be affected by poison or sihr" (Al-Bukhari)

2) Al-WuduSihr does not affect a person in a state of wudu for he is protected by an angel sent by merciful Allah (SWTA). Preform wudu before you sleep each night, then read the last three ayats from the Quran. Once this has been done, say "ALLAH AUAKBAR" whilst blowing into your 2 palms and then wipe your hands over you entire body (beginning with the head and moving over your body - the right side first and then the left). This was performed by Prophet Muhammed who would also do this act before he left His home.

3) Observing congregational salat

4) "Qiyyamu Al-Layl" - Observing optional salat during the night, and neglecting salat during the night, enables Satan to dominate a man. (Abu Dawud 1/50)

5) "ISTI'DA" - seeking refuge with Allah (SWTA) upon entering the toilet.

6) Seeking refuge with Allah (SWTA) upon starting salat

7) Protecting one's new wife against sihr at the time of marraige - perform the relevant du'a for this

8) Initiating marital life with salat - preform the relevant dua for this

9) Protection from the Satan druing intercourse - perform the relevant du'a for this

10) Say : "lailaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu lahumuk wa lahullamd wa huwwa ala kulli shay'in qadir" 100 times after salatul fajri

11) Seek refuge with Allah (SWTA) from the cursed Satan upon entering the Mosque.

12) Upon leaving the house say:

"Bismillahi tawakkaltu'ala Allahi la hawla wala quwwata illa billahi"

Page 142: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"In the Name of Allah, I trust in Allah and there is no strenth nor power except with Allah."

Remeber brother, that thoses evil people who practice magic, can do so through food, tea, water, perfume, etc. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to ALWAYS remember Allah (SWTA) and say "Bismillah" whenever we do somehting such as eat or drink for example.

Other ways to protect your home from evil Jinn and Sihr is to play the Quran/recite it from morning to night - especially ayat Al-Kursy and Baqara. Keep your homes clean and remove any pictures/photos from your home. Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) said that the angels do not enter your home if there are pictures in it.

REmemberance of Allah (SWTA) should be adhered to at all times, insha'Allah.

A good book to read on sihr is "SWORD AGAINST BLACK MAGIC AND EVIL MAGICIANS" BY WAHID ABDUSSALAM BALI - publishers 'Al-Firdous Ltd London" and can be purchased from Islamic bookshops - I recently brought my copy form the London Cultural centre bookshop - the Mosque near REgents Park.

A book of specific du'as can also be brought form any Islamic bookshop, insha'Allah

Shield Yourself against JINNS AND BLACK MAGIC The following notes were taken from a lecture at the Islamic Foundation of Toronto, on Friday, March 23, 2007. The speakers were Sh. Salem Bashir and Sh. Ahmed Shehab.

JINNS AND BLACK MAGIC

Jinns don't like to live in human environments unless they are invited.

1. If you don't say Bismillah when entering the home, they have a place to sleep. 2. If you don't say Bismillah before you eat, they have food. 3. If you listen to haraam music, etc., they have entertainment. 4. If you keep pictures in the house, Angels don't come inside, allowing room for jinns. 5. If you don't say Bismillah before you change your clothes, they will see your awrah. 6. If you stay outside after night falls, you make yourself susceptible to the active jinns at night—kids are especially vulnerable.

Jinns will only attack humans by their own will (Al Mas) for two reasons:

1. For revenge

Page 143: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

· This may occur if you accidentally hurt them or a family member. (e.g. if you throw water or garbage out without saying Bismillah, you can hit them) · When you "invite" jinns to live with you, you are more likely to end up hurting them. 2. For love · A female jinn may fall in love with a male human or vice versa. This occurs if you allow them to see your awrah, or if you go outside at night uncovered.

When jinns attack humans by order, it is through Black Magic. There are five parts to this:

1. The person who asks for the service 2. The magician 3. The materials 4. The human victim/target 5. The jinn who implements the order

The main cause for Black Magic is a weakness of iman. People with this problem are filled with envy and hate, which leads them to want to harm someone physically and/or emotionally. If the target is vulnerable (i.e. does not take steps of prevention), the magician will succeed.

Types of Magic · Prevent woman/man from getting married · Prevent woman from having children · Make people ill · Make people miserable in the home (e.g. problems with family members)

How is this done? · With incanted food and drink (e.g. by not saying Bismillah before eating/drinking or using the left hand) · By putting something in your way ( e.g. stepping in incanted water on the ground in front of the door) · By walking through incanted smoke · By taking your hair/nails (everyone human has a unique sweat smell which jinns can track)

The Symptoms: How do you know if you are affected? · Jinns will enter the body and work from the inside, causing a pain in the head, the shoulders, or

Page 144: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

the lower back. (e.g. If the jinn is dealing with feelings/emotional problems, the pain will be in the head. For a women trying to conceive, pain will be in the lower back) · You generally don't feel well, feel agitated, and don't like anything. This is especially true before sunset, when the agitation will suddenly rise. · You have difficulty sleeping. (For children, they wake up at night without any reason) · Failing relationships between family members, inexplicable problems. · Women who experience miscarriages before three months of pregnancy (painless). · Unexplainable reasons for delaying prayers, going to the mosque, or reading Quran. · If you dream of black dogs or snakes biting you, you may be possessed by a jinn—but, if you dream of black dogs barking or trying to bite, it means a jinn is trying to possess you. · If it is painful to listen/recite the Quran (particularly Surah Baqarah), or you start to yawn and tear up when you read (this may also be true for someone affected with the evil eye). · Recite the Ayatul Kursi, Surah Fatihah, Naas, Falak, and Ikhlas on water. Say Bismillah and drink half with the right hand, then, without saying anything, drink the rest with the left hand. If the water tastes very bitter, sour, salty, etc., you may be affected.

Magic is a type of kufr and one of the seven major sings. Magicians are generally dirty people who write verses of the Quran backwards and with najasa. There is no halaal use of magic (even sihr mohabbah—a use of magic to help someone you love).

Treatment/Prevention There are two ways to treat someone infected with black magic: 1) the wrong way and 2) the right way.

1) The Wrong Way · There are many people today who claim to be 'shaykhs' or exorcists. Many of these people are actually magicians. These are the signs of a fraud: · They ask you what your mother's name or the victim's mother's name is. · They don't read the Quran in a clear voice. · They give you a piece of paper covered in something and tell you to wear it (e.g. a necklace, bracelet, etc.).

Page 145: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

2) The Right Way · Protection comes from Allah (SWT) alone, and the only real cure for black magic comes from the Quran and Sunnah. · Reciting and listening to the Quran (Surah Baqarah) · Recite the Quran on water and drink it (e.g. Ayatul Kursi, Surah Fatihah, Naas, Falak and Ikhlas) or wash the body with it. · Recite the Quran on oil and rub it on the body. · Give Sadaqa. · Do good deeds. (Remember that those suffering from black magic are being cleansed of their sins) · Dua: during the last daylight hour of Friday, an hour before Fajr, when it rains, during sujood, between the athaan and iqamah, Dua-us-Saifi. (The dua of an affected person is equal to an oppressed person—don't underestimate it's power) · Jinns can enter your body when you are very angry, very scared, or away from the All-Mighty. This is the most dangerous time for them because if one utters Bismillah while they are trying to enter, they will be killed instantly. Many jinns have been shocked/disabled by the mere touch of a human performing dhikr. · Keep your guestrooms/washrooms free of any personal items (e.g. hairs, nails, sanitary napkins, etc.).

Jinns and black magic are a reality. The number of cases increase daily and it is very difficult for aamils to deal with so many of them at once. The best medicine is prevention. It is more difficult to inflict magic on someone than to prevent it for yourself! Protect yourself and your children with reciting the Quran, duas, and by remembering Allah (SWT) with constant dhikr.

Charms and Amulets

Good and bad Fortune

Page 146: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The life of this world is a test from Allah, Allah says: "(Allah is) Who has created death and life, that He may test which of you is best in deed." [Soorah al-Mulk (67): 2]

He, the Most High, in His Great Wisdom has also created fluctuations, which are a part of the test, in order to test our patience and perseverance. Allah says: "We shall make a trial for you with evil and with good, and to Us you will be (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam)eturned." [Soorah al-Ambiyah (21): 34-35]

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "Afflictions continue to befall believing men and women in their body, family and property, until they meet Allah burdened with no sins."[(Saheeh) by Shaikh al-Albanee in Sahihah (2280) at-Tirmidhee]

Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "Those who are most afflicted among the people are the Prophets, then the best, then the (next) best. One is afflicted in accordance with (the strength of) his Deen. If his Deen is firm, his affliction is hard, and if his Deen is weak, his affliction is light. Indeed, one would be so much subjected to adversity until he walks among the people with any sins." [(Saheeh) by Shaikh al-Albanee in Saheeh al-Jamee (993) Musnad Ahmad and at-Tirmidhee]

Therefore, afflictions and testing are required for a believer to achieve victory, honor and, well being.

The Qur'aan explains that the complete wisdom behind these occurrences is beyond our understanding, since our knowledge is limited to the apparent occurrences. Therefore, as Allah says in the Qur'aan: "Perhaps you may dislike something which is really good for you or like something (which is actuallly) bad for you, but Allah knows (what is best for you) and you do not." [Soorah al-Baqarah (2): 216]

Thus, what we know as good fortune and bad fortune are mere events predestined by Allah as a test for the human. They take place only by the Permission of Allah and He alone has the Power to avert their harm. It is the duty of a Muslim to have complete Tawakkul (reliance) on Allah and seek His aid in times of afflictions and trial.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) elaborated on this issue in his advise to Ibn Abbas (radhiallahu anhu), he said: "O young man! I will teach you a few words: "I'hfath (remember or observe the commands of) Allah and He will Ya'hfath (direct His care and aid at) you. I'hfath Allah and you will find Him with you (by His aid, knowledge and protection). When you invoke, invoke Allah alone, and when you ask for help, ask Allah alone. And know that if the nation (meaning mankind and the Jinn) came together to bring you benefit, they can never bring you any benefit except that which Allah has written for you. And if they came together to harm you, they will never be able to harm you, except what Allah has written for you. The pens have already been raised (and stopped writing) and the pages have dried." [Musnad Ahmad and at-Tirmidhee]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The belief associated with Charms and Amulets that they attract good fortune and avert evil is contradictory to the Islamic belief that Allah Alone has the Power to benefit and harm, and it is He alone Who can bring good and avert evil

Page 147: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Charms and Amulets contradict Tawheed

Tawheed (belief in the Oneness of Allah) is the core of Islam. One of the fundamental beliefs of Tawheed is that Allah alone has the Power to benefit and harm, it is He alone Who can bring good and avert evil. Any notion, belief or saying, which contradicts this belief, leads to the unforgivable sin of Shirk (associating partners with Allah). Allah says: "Verily, Allah will not forgive Shirk, but He forgives anything besides it to whomsoever He wishes." [Soorah an-Nisa (4): 48]

The belief associated with good luck charms that they attract good fortune and avert evil is thus committing Shirk. It was the practice of the Arabs at the time of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) to wear lockets, bracelets, beads, shells, etc. as charms. Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) is reported to have rejected all such practices.

Uqbah (radhiallahu anhu) reported: "Once a group of men approached the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) to give their oaths of allegiance. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) accepted the oath from nine but refused one. When he was asked the reason, he (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) replied: "Verily, he is wearing an amulet (a charm)." The man put his hand in his cloak, pulled the amulet off and broke it, then made the oath. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "Whoever wears an amulet has committed Shirk." [Musnad Ahmad. This Hadeeth was classed as Saheeh by Shaikh al-Albanee in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, (492)]

When new people accepted Islam during the time of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) ; they often carried with them some pagan beliefs. One of them was the belief in charms, Abu Waaqid al-Laythee reported when Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) set out for Hunayn (the site of a major battle), they passed by a tree called Dhat Anwaar. The idolaters used to hang their weapons on its branches for good fortune. Some of the Sahabah y who were new to Islam asked the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) to assign a similar tree for the Muslims. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) reprimanded them and said: "Subhan-Allah! This is just like what Moosa's people said to him: 'O Moosa! Make for us a god like they have gods." [At-Tirmidhee, Musnad Ahmad and others.]

This Hadeeth demonstrates the grave danger of believing in charms, which are objects, like beads, bones, seashells, threads, horseshoe, nails etc. worn in the necks or hung on walls in order to avert evil and bring good fortune. Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) compared charms to idols and fake gods, who are worshiped instead of Allah.

This is because belief in charms represents the same belief of the idol worshipers. One who wears charm considers it (the charm) to have the Divine Power to benefit and harm. Besides, the charm is supposed to be more powerful than Allah, because they are considered to be able to avert misfortune, which Allah has already destined. Therefore, Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) has cursed those who use them. Uqbah Ibn Amir reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) once said: "May Allah cause failure and unrest to whoever wears a charm or puts it on others." [Musnad Ahmad and Haakim]

Page 148: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Charms as a means of idol worship:

Charms sometimes include pictures of saints and graves. Pictures are forbidden in Islam, and it should be made known that the basic reason behind the prohibition of pictures was to prevent Shirk from entering into the Aqeedah of the Muslims.

Shirk first crept into the previous nation through pictures and graves. When righteous men died, people would erect their statues and make their pictures in places of gathering. The later generations eventually venerated these pictures and statues, and worshiped them besides Allah. When the churches of Ethiopia containing pictures were mentioned to Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam), he said: "If any religious man dies amongst those people they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the worst creatures in the Sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection." [Saheeh al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim]

Islam has prohibited all means, which could result in Shirk; one of them is the prohibitions is portraying pictures and hanging them. Moreover, hanging pictures of saints and graves in necks and believing them to be a means of blessings, or believing them to be able to avert evil is a clear Shirk, because this belief implies giving Divine Power to avert evil and bring good fortune, which is unique for Allah alone, to created beings. __________________"It is not befitting for a believing man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision." [Soorah al-Ahzaab (33):36]

Charms as a means of Healing SicknessAnother popular use of charms is that it is regarded as a remedy to many diseases or protection from the evil eye. This kind of use is also prohibited, Imraan Ibn Hussain (radhiallahu anhu) reported that when the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) saw a brass bangle on a man's upper arm, he said to him, "Woe be on you. What is this?" The man replied that it was to protect him from a sickness called Waahinah (weakness). The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) then said: "Cast it off, for verily, it would only increase your weakness. And if you die with it on, you will never succeed." [Musnad Ahmad and others]

Meaning Allah will not protect him, who hangs charms on his body, rather He would abandon him and assign him to the charm, which will avail him nothing. Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "He who wears a thing shall be committed to it." [At-Tirmidhee]

A Muslim's attitude in times of sickness should be to be patient and seek help with Allah. "And (remember) Ayyub, when he called to his Lord, 'Verily, adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the Merciful.' So, we answered his call, and removed all afflictions." [Soorah al-Ambiya (21): 83]

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) advised Ibn Abbas (radhiallahu anhu) and said: "When you invoke, invoke Allah alone, and when you ask for help, ask Allah alone. And know that if the nation (meaning mankind and the Jinn) came together to bring you benefit, they can never bring you any benefit except that which Allah has written for you. And if they came together to harm you, they will never be able to harm you, except what Allah has written for you. The pens have already been raised (and stopped writing) and the pages have dried." [Musnad Ahmad and at-Tirmidhee]

Allah says: "Give glad tidings to the patient those who when afflicted with a calamity, say: 'Truly, to Allah we belong; truly to Him will we return.' It is those who will be awarded blessings and mercy

Page 149: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

from their Lord; and it is these who are the guided ones." [Soorah al-Baqarah (2): 155]

Therefore, he who resigns to Allah, seeks refuge in Him and commits his affairs to Him, Allah will suffice him, and make the difficulty easy for him. But he who attaches himself to the creation of Allah, like charms and amulets, Allah will abandon him to what he attaches himself to, and nothing will avail him of those things which neither harm nor benefit anyone. By using charms, the slave severs his relation with Allah and destroys his own creed.

It is a duty on the Muslim to safeguard his Aqeedah and the Aqeedah of his family members against all defects. He should not take unlawful remedies, nor approach misleading healers, because they will blemish his heart and creed. He who depends on Allah, Allah will suffice him.

The Sahabah (radhiallahu anhu) were very strict in regards to charms and omens, whether it be within one's family or outside it. Zaynab, the wife of Abdullah Ibn Mas'oud, reports that once Ibn Mas'oud saw a cord of necklace around her neck and asked, 'What is it?' She replied: 'It is a cord in which a spell has been placed to help me.' He snatched it from her neck, broke it and said: "Surely the family of Abdullah has no need for Shirk! I have heard Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) say: 'Verily spells, talismans and charms are Shirk.'"

Zaynab replied: 'Why are you saying this? My eye used to twitch and when I went to so and so, the Jew, he put a spell on it and it stopped twitching.' Ibn Mas'oud said: 'Verily, it was only a devil prodding it with his hand, so when you had it bewitched he left it. It would have been sufficient for you to say:

Transliteration: "Idh-habil-ba's Rabban-naas washfi antash-shafee Laa shifaa' illa shifaa'uk shifaa'aan laa yughaadiruhu saqama"

"Remove the suffering, O Lord of mankind and heal it perfectly as You are the True Healer. There is no cure except Your cure; a cure which is not followed by sickness." [Sunan Abu Dawood (vol: 3, no: 3874)] Classed as Saheeh by al-Albanee in al-Silsilat al-Saheehah (331 and 2972)]

A sick person can resort to permissible means of treatment like medicines, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "Seek treatment, because Allah did not create a sickness but has created a treatment for it, except for old age." [Abu Dawood. Authenticated by Shaikh al-Albanee in Saheeh al-Jami no: 29302] In this context, magnetic belts, etc., which have been medically proven to have health benefits can be used for treatment. They do not fall under the category of charms and omens.

Casual use of Charms

Sometimes the use of charms is not due to false beliefs, but is merely an imitation of the Kuffar, which is also a very serious issue. Muslims are strictly prohibited from adopting any non-Islamic practice or imitating the non-Muslims, whether it be creed or actions. Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) has warned the Muslim Ummah in several Ahaadeeth on different occasions against imitation of the Kuffar, he (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) once said: "Whoever imitates a people, he is one of them." [(Saheeh) Musnad Ahmad (vol: 2, no: 50)]

Therefore, any resemblance to the Kuffar in any aspect must be strictly avoided. If the charm used has a religious significance to the disbelievers, like the cross of the Christians, saffron strings or black threads of the Hindus, etc. then the matter becomes even more grave.

Qur'aanic Charms

Qur'aanic charms are those objects, which have parts of the Qur'aan or some of Allah's Names and

Page 150: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Attributes inscribed on them. These objects are worn for the purpose of healing. Scholars are at variance concerning wearing them; some believe in its permissibility, while others reject them. The second opinion is correct, due to many reasons:

(a) The general prohibition of wearing them. Ibn Mas'oud (radhiallahu anhu), who disapproved the practice of Qur'aanic charms said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) say: "Charms, Amulets and Tiwalah* are all acts of Shirk." [Abu Dawood and Musnad Ahmad]

[* Tiwaalah (bewitchment) is a spell, which is used to make a man love his wife, or the other way round.]

(b) Barring access to what may lead to the unlawful.

(c) If one wears an amulet containing Qur'aanic verses, he is apt to carry it with him to washrooms, while relieving or cleaning himself or the like.

(d) The use of Qur'aan in such a manner is neither proved by the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam), nor the practice of the Sahabah. Therefore, using the Qur'aan as a charm is categorized as a Bidah (innovation in the religion), regarding which Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "Whoever innovates in Islam something which does not belong to it will have it rejected." [Saheeh al-Bukharee (vol: 3, no: 861)]

Furthermore, wearing Qur'aanic verses for healing contradicts the Prophetic way of curing sickness through the means of Qur'aan.

Imaam Muslim (rahimahullah) records the following Hadeeth under the chapter, 'Curing of the Patient with the recitation of Mu'awwidhatan.' Aaishah (radhi allahu anha) reported that when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) fell ill, he recited over his body Mu'awwidhatan (Soorah al-Falaq and Soorah an-Nas) and blew over him and when his sickness was intensified, I used to recite over him, and rub him with his hand with the hope that it was more blessed. [Saheeh Muslim vol: 3, no: 5440]

So, the correct way is to recite Qur'aanic verses and supplications mentioned in the Sunnah and blow by mouth on the sick. This practice is known as 'Ruqya', and is proved from a number of authentic narrations. "Some Companions of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) went on a journey until they reached some of the Arab tribes (at night). The chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and nothing could cure him. One of the Sahabah recited Soorah Al-Faatihah and breathed hard over the chief, who recovered as if he was released from a chain, stood up and started walking, showing no signs of sickness.

When Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) was informed about the incident, he approved of it and asked: "How did you know that Soorah Al-Faatihah can be recited as a Ruqyah?" [Saheeh al-Bukharee (vol: 3, no: 476)]

This is the meaning of the verse, where Allah says: "We send down the Qur'aan that which is healing and a mercy for the believer, but it does not increase the wrongdoers except in loss." [Soorah al-Isra (17): 82] __________________"It is not befitting for a believing man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger, to have any option about their decision." [Soorah al-Ahzaab (33):36]

Ruqyah: How and When?

Page 151: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Q: Dear scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. What are the virtues of a man reciting ruqyah for himself? What is the evidence for that? What should he say when he recites ruqyah for himself?

A:

Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear brother in Islam, we would like to thank you for showing keenness on learning the teachings of Islam, and we appreciate the great confidence you have in us. We hope our efforts meet your expectations.

There is nothing wrong with the Muslim reciting ruqyah (protective and healing supplications) for himself. That is permissible; indeed it is a Sunnah, for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recited ruqyah for himself, and some of his companions recited ruqyah for themselves.

In this regard, Sheikh M. S. Al-Munajjid, a prominent Saudi Muslim lecturer and author, states:

“It was narrated that `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was ill, he would recite al-Mu`awidhatayn (surahs of Al-Falaq and An-Nas) over himself and spit dryly. When his pain grew intense, I recited over him and wiped him with his own hand, seeking its blessing” (Al-Bukhari).

With regard to the hadith narrated by Muslim, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described the seventy thousand of this Ummah who will enter Paradise without being brought to account or punished, and in which it says: “They are those who did not recite ruqyah or ask for ruqyah to be done, and they did not believe in bad omens and they put their trust in their Lord” – the phrase “they did not recite ruqyah” is the words of the narrator, not of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Hence Al-Bukhari narrated this hadith and did not mention this phrase.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"These people are praised because they did not ask anyone to recite ruqyah for them, and ruqyah is a type of du`aa’, so they did not ask others to pray for them. The phrase “and they did not recite ruqyah” which is mentioned in the hadith is a mistake (on the part of the narrator), for their ruqyah for themselves and for others is a good deed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited ruqyah for himself and for others but he did not ask anyone to recite ruqyah for him. His reciting ruqyah for himself and others was like his making du`aa’ for himself and others; this is something that is enjoined, for all the Prophets asked of Allah and prayed to Him, as Allah tells us in the stories of Adam, Ibraheem, Musa and others." (Majmu` al-Fatawa, 1/182)

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"This phrase is inserted in the hadith, but it is a mistake on the part of some of the narrators." (Hadi al-Arwah, 1/89)

Ruqyah is one of the greatest remedies that the believer should use regularly.

Page 152: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

With regard to the du`aa’ that is prescribed for the Muslim to say if he wants to recite ruqyah for himself or for someone else, there are many such du`aa’s, the greatest of which are Al-Fatihah and Al-Mu`awidhatayn.

A group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey and traveled until they came near one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they were refused. Then the leader of that tribe was stung, and his people tried everything to cure him but nothing helped. Then some of them said, “Why don’t you go to those people who are staying (nearby)? Maybe one of them has something.” So they went to them and said, “O people, our leader has been stung and we have tried everything and nothing helped him. Do you have anything?” One of them said, “Yes, by Allah. I will perform ruqyah for him, but by Allah we asked you for hospitality and you did not give us anything, so we will not perform ruqyah for you unless you give us something in return.” So they agreed on a flock of sheep, then he started to blow on him and recite Al-hamdu Lillahi Rabb il-`Alameen. Then he recovered quickly from his complaint and started walking, and he was completely cured. After that they took the flock of sheep, and some of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Let us share it out.” The one who had performed ruqyah said, “Do not do anything until we come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and tell him what happened, and we will wait and see what he tells us to do.” So they came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what had happened. He said, “How did you know that it is a ruqyah?” Then he said, “You did the right thing. Share them out, and give me a share.” And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).

The du`aa’s that have been narrated in the Sunnah include the following:

Muslim narrated from `Uthman ibn Abil-`As that he complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about pain that he had felt in his body from the time he had become Muslim. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, “Put your hand on the part of your body where you feel pain and say ‘Bismillah (in the name of Allah) three times, then say seven times, A`udhu bi `izzat-illah wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajid wa uhadhir (I seek refuge in the glory and power of Allah from the evil of what I feel and worry about).”

At-Tirmidhi added: He said, “I did that, and Allah removed what I had been suffering, and I continued to enjoin my family and others to do that.”

It was narrated that Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek refuge for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, and he would say, ‘Your father [ meaning Ibrahim peace be upon him] used to seek refuge with Allah for Isma`il and Ishaq with these words: A`udhu bi kalimat Allah al-tammah min kulli shaytanin wa hammah wa min kulli `aynin lammah (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye)’” (Al-Bukhari).”

Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjid

The Nasma {Aura} and Meditation

In spiritual terminology, the non-physical body is called the nasma. Nasma exists within each physical body as a subtle vapor, or energy breeze, created by the chemical output of the physical body. The nasma is present in human beings just as rose water is present in the rose or as the fire in glowing coals. Being superior with its connection to the

Page 153: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

divine energy source, it can taste without using the tongue, can see without using the eyes, and can hear without using the ears. By using the nasma, HSP { High Sensory Perception} is made available to the spiritual healer. The nasma derives its nourishment from the esoteric energy which is released whenever we act, think, or form a belief or intention. The nasma in human beings is capable of leaving the physical body at any time through the universal driving force. When the flow of spiritual energy is disturbed or insufficient, the health of the patient is adversely affected, leading to pain, disease, distress, and so forth. These are signals that we need to rebalance our energy.

Spiritual healing is not at all a mysterious process but is in fact very straightforward, albeit oftentimes quite complex. The spiritual healing technique involves the energy field that exists around each of us. Everyone has an energy field or an aura that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body. This field is intimately associated with the health of the human being.

In different cultures, energy is known by different names. The word "energy" is referred to as:

Ki in JapaneseChi in ChinesePrana in HindiQudra in Arabic

• Energy is the life breath transmitted to us from the Existing, Everlasting Superpower that overlooks human beings and all creation.

• Energy regulates our thought patterns and emotions, is the source of our life force and is the animating factor in all living beings. It circulates through our bodies and can be harnessed for healing.

• It is the source of all movement in the universe. When the human body loses its life breath the original energy (or life force) leaves it, allowing the body to decompose.

• The body goes back to its earthen origins and the spirit returns to its angelic origin of spiritual energy.

• This energy is never lost and exists without the secret of its nature being understood by science and modern medicine.

This unknown spiritual energy is behind the life of every drop of blood in animate beings, the motion behind every living cell, and the driving force of constellations and galaxies.

RUQYAH - A SPECIAL CURING PRAYER FOR EVIL EYES

Do you know that you can use specialized duaa and Qur'anic verses to cure the sick?

Page 154: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

We are told in the Qur'an that Prophet Ibraheem, alayhis salam, said, "And when I am ill, it is He Who cures me." [26:80]

The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, said: "There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it cures it with the permission of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious." (Muslim) Also, the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, said, "Make use of the two remedies: honey and the Qur'an." (Tirmithi)

The use of spiritual forms of healing, such as payers and meditation have become quite popular. This is in part a result of a resurgence in religion and so-called "New Age" beliefs. Major medical centers and health care institutions are even studying the effects of salah on healing. For Islamic purposes, the use of specialized prayers (duaa) or Qur'anic verses are known as ruqyah. The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, and his companions used this method of healing, as evidenced by many ahadeeth in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmithi and others. Muslims are advised to provide ruqiyah for Muslims and even non-Muslims that are sick. The sick are also able to provide ruqiyah for themselves. Ruqyah is a valuable tool for treating a variety of disorders and diseases. This may include snake or scorpion bite, the evil eye (or envy), and psychological problems that Jinn may cause.

Aisha (Radhiallaahu Anha) narrated that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, used the following duaa when family members were sick, "Allahumma Rabban-nas, adh-hibil-ba's, washfi, Antash-Shafee, la shifa'a, ilia shifa'uk, shifa'an la yughadiru saqaman. (O Allah, Lord of mankind! Remove this disease and cure him. You are the Great Curer, there is no cure but through You that leaves behind no disease.)" (Bukhari and Muslim)

The Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, told Amr ibnul Aas, "Place your hand where you feel pain and say 'Bismillah' three times, and then repeat seven times A'oudho bi'izzatil-lahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa 'uhadhir. (I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that afflicts me and that which I apprehend.)" (Muslim)

Suratul-Fatihah, the opening surah of the Qur'an, is also recommended as a cure for sicknesses and diseases. Allah's Messenger said, "Fatihatul Kitab contains healing for every disease." (Tirmithi)

Bukhari has reported that several of the Prophet's companions used Suratul-Fatihah as a treatment for a snake or scorpion bite. They returned to the Prophet and asked the permissibility of receiving a sheep in payment for providing the ruqiyah. The Prophet then asked how they knew that Suratul-Fatihah was a ruqiyah. He added that they had done the right thing. Bukhari has also reported that Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas (surahs 113 and 114) are also protections against illness and evil. One hadeeth has reported that the Prophet would recite mu'awwidhat (Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas). He would then blow his breath into his hands and rub his hands over his body, hoping for its blessings. Tirmithi has reported that the Prophet used to seek protection against jinn and the evil eye until Suratul Falaq and Suratun Nas were revealed. After they were revealed, he held to them and discarded everything beside them.

There are those who believe wearing charms with certain surahs or verses on them are a protection. Others believe that placing these charms on infants will protect them from Jinn and the evil eye or believe that having decorative wall-hangings with Qur'an is a protection. Some may write these verses or surahs on a piece of paper. They then dip the paper into a glass of water and drink the water. These actions are not the prescribed actions by the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wasallam, and may come close to shirk. Allah and His Messenger have given us directions for using prayer 'whether duaa or ruqyah' and the Qur'an for healing. We must accept these directions and use them accurately while trusting in Allah's Will and Might.

Answer:

Bismillah Rahman RaheemSalam alaykum Ramadhan Mubarak:

Question: Does ruqyah work against magic and evil?

Answer: Yes.

It is mentioned in Quran and in the sunnah for a person to read Quran for protection from the jinn and magic.

The proper preformance is to hold the hands in front of the face, blow into them (some say the blowing takes place after the reading), then recite Quran into the hands, and then wipe the hands over the entire body.

The surahs mentioned in the hadith to read include:

Page 156: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Surah Fatihah (first one)Surah Al Ikhlaas (112)Surah Al Falqa (113)Surah An Naas (114)Ayatul Kursi (2:255)

These are the primary ones used by the prophet, peace be upon him. Pray to Allah with all sincerity and seek refuge with Allah from this type of evil and stay away from people who are not trying to be close to Allah. Avoid pictures hanging in your house, get rid of any statues or figurines or dolls or images of humans or animals. Do not listen to music, stay away from things that take your mind away from the devotion to Allah.

Stay close to people who love Allah and have good and sound knowledge about true beliefs in Islam. Do not go around with people of deviant groups. Stay on the main path. Stay close to Allah.

He will protect you if you are sincere. Everything is with Allah for the outcome.

Healing by the Qur'an: Regulations and Precautions

Page 158: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Q:Some people claim that they can cure the sick by using the jinn and reciting the Qur'an over water or some drink or even over some instruments such as knives. What is Islam’s point of view regarding this?

A: In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear questioner, thank you very much for having confidence in us, and we hope our efforts, which are purely for Allah's Sake, meet your expectations.

It is not lawful to ascribe every disease that one may have to the actions of the jinn or black magic.

If a person feels something wrong with himself, he should go to a doctor. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah's servants, seek treatment."

Going to a doctor does not contradict with reading ruqyahs (protective statements taught by the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him) as a means of treatment.

What is important is to believe that healing is by Almighty Allah's Will and that seeking treatment by taking medicines or reading ruqyahs cannot have any effect unless Allah Almighty wills so.

Muslims should beware of charlatans and sorcerers who exploit the sick by claiming that they can treat their illness with the Qur'an.

Getting close to Allah Almighty, obeying Him, and reading the Qur’an frequently are the shields that can protect one against falling prey to the charlatans and the jinn.

Responding to the question, Dr. Husam ad-Din ibn Musa `Afana, professor of the Principles of Jurisprudence at the University of Al-Quds, Palestine, states the following:

"There are many people nowadays who claim that they can use the jinn in treating the sick. Those people are, mostly, charlatans and sorcerers. They exploit the ignorance and need of those who seek their help so as to take money from them unfairly. This is against the Shari`ah.

There are many points that should be clarified on this subject.

First, if a person feels something wrong with himself, he should consult a doctor about that. Allah Almighty has created for every disease the treatment that can cure it.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "There is no disease that Allah Almighty has created, except that He also has created its treatment." (Reported by Al-Bukhari)

He (peace and blessings be upon him) also said, "There is a remedy for every malady, and when the remedy is applied to the disease it is cured with the permission of Almighty Allah." (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Second, seeking treatment by reciting the Qur'an and ruqyhas is lawful. Allah Almighty says: "And We reveal of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for believers though it increase the evil doers in naught save ruin." (Al-`Israa’: 82)

According to Al-Bukhari, Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Some of the

Page 159: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

companions of the Prophet came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs, and that tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet), “Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can treat with ruqyah?” The Prophet's companions said, “You refuse to entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay for it.” So they agreed to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting Surat Al-Fatihah and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient was cured and his people presented the sheep to them, but they said, “We will not take it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful or not).” When they asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said, “How do you know that Surat Al-Fatihah is a ruqyah? Take it (flock of sheep) and assign a share for me.”

According to an authentic hadith reported by Muslim, `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “When a member of the Prophet's family got ill, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would blow over his body by reciting Al-Mu’awwidhatayn (the two protective surahs, Al-Falaq and An-Nas) and would rub him with his hand.”

Third, no one should claim that he dedicates himself to curing others of barreness and incurable diseases, dispelling the spells of black magic, ridding others of the possession of jinn and evil eyes by reciting the Qur'an, ruqyahs and dhikr.

No one of the Prophet's companions or the righteous successors was ever reported as having done something of such a kind, although people in their time suffered also from the same or similar diseases and afflictions.

Besides, doing something of such a kind may open the door to many evils and give the chance to charlatans and sorcerers to do acts of corruption.

Fourth, there is nothing wrong in reciting some verses of the Qur'an over a vessel of water so that a patient can drink and wash his body from the water.

Ibn Al-Qayyim said, “A group of the righteous predecessors were of the opinion that some verses of the Qur’an could be written and put in a vessel of water for a patient to drink from. Mujahid said, ‘There is nothing wrong in writing some verses of the Qur’an and putting them in a vessel of water so that a patient can drink and wash his body from it.’ A similar point of view was also reported to have been adopted by Ibn Qilaba.”

Fifth, it is true that the jinn can possess a human being and dwell in his body. This is proved by Almighty Allah’s Book and His Prophet’s Sunnah, and it is seen also in people’s lives.

Imam Ibn Taymiyah said, “There is no Muslim imam who denies that the jinn can dwell in the humans’ bodies. He who denies that and claims that it is against the Shari`ah is distorting the Shari`ah itself. There is nothing in the Shari`ah against the jinn’s ability to possess human beings.”

Curing a human being of the harm of the jinn is to be achieved through reciting the Qur’an and the protective statements reported to have been said by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in that regard.

Sixth, it is not lawful for one to resort to a person who claims the ability to cure others by the Qur’an or rid them of jinn possession unless one makes sure that that person is righteous and sticks to the teachings of Almighty Allah’s Book and His Prophet’s Sunnah, and that that person follows the lawful ways in treatment through ruqyahs and does not use the jinn in that respect, for the jinn would never serve a human being unless that human deviates from the right path.

Besides, some of those who claim the ability to cure others through the Qur’an use non-understandable words in that respect, and this is also unlawful." quranichealing.com

HOW TO PRAY FOR THE SICK

Hazrat Ayesha ((raa)) relates that when anyone complained to the Holy Prophet ((saws)) of pain or suffered from a boil or an injury on his person, he ((saws)) would touch the earth with his forefinger, and then raise it and say: 'In the name of Allah, I seek blessing from dust of our earth which contains the saliva of some of us whereby our sick are healed by the command of Allah.' Bukhari and Muslim

Hazrat Abu Abdullah Usman bin Abul 'Aas ((raa)) relates that he complained to the Holy Prophet ((saws)) of a pain that afflicted his body. He ((saws)) told him: 'Place thy hand on the part of the body that aches and say three times Bismillah and then repeat seven times A'oozo Ma Ajido Wa Qudrat'-e-hi Min Sharre Ma Ajido Wa Uhaziro' (I seek the protection of the Honour and Might of Allah from the evil that afflicts me and that I apprehend.) Muslim

Hazrat Ibn Abbas ((raa)) relates that the Holy Prophet ((saws)) said: 'If a person visits a patient who is not on te verge of death, and supplicates seven times: as alullahal 'Azeema rabbal arshid azeem ain- ash fika (I

THE CURE FOR MAGIC

Shaikh Mash-hoor Hasan Salmaan

Source: Al-Ma'thoor fee 'Ilaaj Al-Marboot wal-Ma'yoon wal-Mas-hoor (pg. 1-7)

The source for the prescription of removing and abolishing magic is what has been authentically related from the Prophet (saws) in Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree (no. 5765) when he (saws) removed the magic that was placed on him by Lubaid Ibn A' sam, a man from Banoo Zuraiq who was an ally to the Jews, while being amongst the Muslims as a hypocrite. The magic was put on his (saws) comb and the hairs on the comb - which is the hair that falls from the head or beard while combing - in a skin of pollen of a male date-palm tree under a well-stone - which is a rock that is placed at the top of a well and cannot be uprooted, and sometimes it is found in the bottom of a well - in the well of Dharwaan. So the Prophet (saws) proceeded to the well until he removed it. And he (saws) said: "This is the well which I was shown (in a dream). Its water looked like the infusion of henna leaves and its date-palm trees looked like the heads of devils."

Magic can also be cured by vomiting in the place where its harm is found, for that has an effect on one's physical nature and it has an effect in agitating the body's components and disturbing its substances. So if traces of the magic appear in an organ (i.e. such as the stomach), and the harmful substance can be vomited or ejected from that organ, then that would be very effective.

From the most effective cures for it, as stated by Ibn Al-Qayyim, is what exists from An-Nushra, which is a type of ruqyah (incantation). This type of remedy is given such a name since the sickness that is harming the afflicted person is caused to scatter. This means that the strength of this magic, which is from the effects of the evil and wicked souls, is uplifted and terminated by the divinely cures, such as dhikr (words of remembrance), du'aa (supplication) and qi(raa)'ah (recitation of the Qur'an). So if the heart is filled with Allah and flowing with His Remembrance, and it is has a permanent place for the dhikr, du'aa and consciousness (of Allah), which is not forsaken, then this is from the greatest of means that prevent magic from affecting the person. He (Ibn Al-Qayyim) said: "The most strongest effect that magic has is on weak hearts. This is why a majority of the people that are affected by it are women, children and people who are ignorant (of the Religion). This is since the wicked and evil souls are only active and effective against souls that readily accept them and which are inclined to what confirms to them."

But the magic that was placed by Lubaid troubled and disturbed the Prophet (saws)S, in spite of his great position, true consciousness of Allah and strong heart. However, perhaps he (saws)S can be separated from that in that what he (Ibn Al-Qayyim) mentioned referred to the majority case, while what happened to the Prophet (saws)S was an exception to that. And Allah knows best. This was stated by Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajr.

Nushrah is of two types:

The First: Undoing magic with magic just like it. This is from the acts of the devils and the following statement of Al-Hasan (Al-Basree) refers to it: "No one undoes magic except for one who does magic (himself)." So the one who dos this type of Nushrah and the one he does it to both get closer to the devil by something that he loves. So his work on the one who is under the magic is of no use.

The Second: Nushrah by making incantation (ruqyah), ta'awaudhaat and the allowed supplications. This is all legislated in the Religion. From the reports that have been transmitted describing the legislated type of

Page 162: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Nushrah is:

First: What has been reported by Ibn Abee Haatim and Abu Ash-Shaikh on the authority of Ibn Abee Sulaim, who said: "It has been conveyed to me that these verses are a cure for magic, by the permission of Allah. They are to be recited in a bowl in which there is water, then that is to be poured over the head of the one afflicted with magic:"

"Then when they (i.e. the sorcerers) cast down, Musa said: 'What you have brought is sorcery. Allah will surely make it of no effect. Verily, Allah does not set right the works of corrupt evildoers." [Surah Yoonus: 81-82]

"Thus, the truth was confirmed, and all that they did (of magic) was made of no effect. So they were defeated there and returned disgraced. And the sorcerers fell down prostrate. They said: 'We believe in the Lord of the 'Alameen (different worlds of jinn, mankind, etc.) - the Lord of Musa and Haroon.' Pharoah said: 'You have believed in Musa before I gave you permission. Surely, this is a plot which you have plotted in the city to drive out its people, but you shall come to know.' Surely, I will cut off your hands and your feet from opposite sides, then I will crucify you all.' They said: 'Verily, we are returning to our Lord.'" [Surah Al-A'a(raa)f: 118-125]

"And throw down what is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. What they have made is only a magician's trick, and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount of skill he may attain." [Surah Taha: 69]

Al-Haafidh Ibn Katheer mentioned this narration in his Tafseer (2/443) but did not follow it up with anything (i.e. he did not grade it's authenticity)!

Muhammad Haamid Al-Fiqee, may Allah have mercy on him, opposed him by saying: "Such a thing should not be acted upon, whether it is from the opinion of Laith Ibn Abee Sulaim or from the opinion of Ibn Al-Qayyim or anyone else. Rather only the Sunnah that has been established from Allah's Messenger (saws) must be acted upon. And nothing has been reported on him (saws) from what Ibn Abee Sualim or Ibn Al-Qayyim said, nor from what has been quoted from Wahb Ibn Munabbih. So it based on the ways of the Jews and not the guidance of the best of messengers (saws). And from the door of this slackness has entered many innovations and then major shirk. So it is upon the Muslim that is sincere to himself to bite with his molar teeth onto the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger (saws) and the rightly guided Khaleefahs. And he must avoid the newly invented matters (i.e. innovations), no matter who it is coming from. For everyone can either have his saying accepted or rejected, except the Messenger of Allah (saws)."

Shaikh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz, may Allah have mercy on him, refuted him and clarified that nothing that goes against the Religion was mentioned in what was stated by Ibn Abee Sulaim, and that his words fall under the general principles. He said: "I say that Shaikh Haamid's opposition to what was stated by the commentator relating from Ibn Abee Sulaim, Ibn Al-Qayyim and Wahb Ibn Munabbih is not proper, but rather a mistake on the part of the Shaikh Haamid. This is because curing oneself by means of the Noble Qur'an, sidr (herbs) and its types from the allowed forms of cures is not from the area of innovations, but rather from the area of medicine and healing remedies. And the Prophet (saws) said: 'O Servants (of Allah)! Heal yourselves and do not heal yourselves with (things that are) Haraam (unlawful).'

And it is established in Sunan Abee Dawood, in the Book of Medicine, that the Prophet (saws) recited Qur'an in a bowl of water and then poured it over a sick person.

So from this it is known that healing oneself with sidr (herbs) and reciting Qur'an in water and then pouring

Page 163: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

it on a sick person do not have any prohibition with respect to the Religion. This is so long as the recitation of the Qur'an is pure (i.e. void of incorrect pronunciation or deviations, etc) and the healing remedy is allowed (in the Religion, i.e. not alcohol). And Allah grants success."

And he (Ibn Baz) added to the narration of Laith in his treatise entitled "The Ruling on Magic and Sorcery" the following: "After reciting what (verses were) previously mentioned in water, some of it is to be drunk and the person should wash himself with the rest of it. By doing this, the sickness will come to an end."

Second: What has been reported by Imaam Maalik in his Muwatta (2/951-952) (no. 12) on the authority of Sumaiyy, the servant of Abu Bakr from Al-Qa' aqaa' Ibn Hakeem that Ka'ab Al-Ahbaar said: "If it were not for certain words that I say, the Jews would have made me a donkey." So it was said to him: "What are they?" He said: "I seek refuge in the Face of Allah, the Most Great, of which there is nothing greater than it. And (I seek refuge) in the perfect words of Allah, which no righteous nor wicked person can transgress. And (I seek refuge) in all of His best names, those which I know and those which I don't know - from the evil of what He has created, brought into existence and produced." ['Aa'udhu bi-wajhillaahil-'Adheem. Alladhee laisa shay'un a'adhama minhu. Wa bi-kalimaat-illaahit-Taammaat allatee laa yujawwizuhunnaa barrun wa laa faajir. Wa bi-asmaa'ihil-husnaa kullihaa, ma 'alimtu minhaa wa ma lam a' alam - min sharri ma khalaqa wa bara'a wa dhara'a.]

The meaning of ".the Jews would have made me a donkey" is due to their performing magic on him. Perhaps he means by it, and Allah knows best, that they would have confused me and misled me away from my guidance (of Islam) until I became like the donkey that doesn't know and understand anything. This expression is used to refer to stupidity and little comprehension.

A similar supplication to this was mentioned by the great scholar Ibn Hajr (Al-Haitamee) in his previous treatise, and it is useful against the plotting of the jinn. We have listed its sources of reference and spoken on them there.

Are physical medicines better, or ruqyah and spiritual medicine?Question :

Modern medicine treats disease with physical medicine only. Is this sufficient, or should we use ruqyah? Which of them is better?

Answer :

Praise be to Allaah.

There is no doubt that man suffers psychological diseases, such as anxiety about the future and grief for the past. Psychological diseases may have a greater impact on the body than physical diseases. Treating these diseases by means of something prescribed in sharee’ah – i.e., ruqyah – is more successful than treating them by means of physical medicines, as is well known.

Among the means of treating them: the saheeh haseeth narrated from Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him): “There is no believer who is stricken by anxiety, distress or grief, and he says, ‘Allaahumma inni ‘abduka ibnu ‘abdika ibnu amatika, naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka, as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw asta’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘indaka an taj’ala al-Qur’aan al-‘azeem rabee’a qalbi wa noora

Page 164: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

sadri wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi wa ghammi (O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or taught to any of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Holy Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety and distress)’, but Allaah will relieve him.” This is one of the medicines prescribed in sharee’ah.

Similarly, one may say, “Laa ilaaha illa anta, subhaanaka, inni kuntu min al-zaalimeen (none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allaah), Glorified (and Exalted) be You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers)” [cf. al-Anbiyaa’ 21:87]

If you want to know more, please refer to the writings of the scholars on the topic of adhkaar (dhikr, remembering Allaah), such as al-Waabil al-Sayyib by Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Kalim al-Tayyib by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, al-Adhkaar by al-Nawawi, and Zaad al-Ma’aad, by Ibn al-Qayyim.

But when faith grows weak, the soul’s acceptance of remedies prescribed in sharee’ah also grows weak. People nowadays have begun to rely on physical medicines more than on the spiritual remedies prescribed in Islam. But when faith is strong, the spiritual remedies prescribed in Islam have a more complete effect; their effect may be faster than that of physical medicines. We are all aware of the story of the man whom the Messenger SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent on a campaign. He camped near some Arabs, but those people near whom he camped did not show him any hospitality. Allaah willed that their chief should be stung by a snake, and they said to one another, “Go to those people who are camped (near us), maybe you will find a raaqi (one who recites ruqyah, i.e., incantations or prayers for healing) with them.” The Sahaabah said to them, “We will not recite ruqyah for your chief until you give us such and such number of sheep.” They said, “We agree.” Then one of the Sahaabah went and recited over the one who had been stung; he recited Soorat al-Faatihah only, then that person who had been stung got up as if he was released from a chain.

This recitation of al-Faatihah had such an effect in this man because it came from a heart that was filled with faith. When they came back, the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “How did you know that it is a ruqyah?”

But in our own times there is this weakness of religious commitment and faith, and people have started to rely on outward physical matters, and this is causing them further suffering.

On the other hand there are those who cheat people and deceive them, claiming to be pious reciters of Qur’aan, but they consume people’s wealth unlawfully. People are of two extremes, one which thinks that recitation of Qur’aan has no effect at all, and the other extreme composed of cheaters who deceive people by reciting devious recitations, and some are moderate.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/465, 466

But as there is no contradiction between using permissible physical medicines as prescribed by doctors and using spiritual medicines such as ruqyah and seeking refuge with Allaah and other du’aa’s that are proven in sound reports, the two may be combined, as the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did. It was proven that he used both kinds of treatment, and he said, “Strive to pursue that which will benefit you and seek refuge with Allaah, and do not feel helpless.” And he said: “Seek treatment, O slaves of Allaah, but do not seek treatment with things which are haraam.”

Islam Q&A Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid (www.islam-qa.com)

The virtues of ruqyah and du’aa’s to be recited therein Question :

What are the virtues of a man reciting ruqyah for himself? What is the evidence for that? What should he say when he recites ruqyah for himself?.

Answer : Praise be to Allaah.

1 – There is nothing wrong with the Muslim reciting ruqyah for himself. That is permissible; indeed it is a good Sunnah, for the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited ruqyah for himself, and some of his companions recited ruqyah for themselves.

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was ill, he would recite al-Mi’wadhatayn over himself and spit drily. When his pain grew intense, I recited over him and wiped him with his own hand, seeking its barakah (blessing).”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4728; Muslim, 2192

With regard to the hadeeth narrated by Muslim (220), according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings of

Allaah be upon him) described the seventy thousand of this ummah who will enter Paradise without being

brought to account or punished, and in which it says: “They are those who did not recite ruqyah or ask for

ruqyah to be done, and they did not believe in bad omens and they put their trust in their Lord” – the phrase

“they did not recite ruqyah” is the words of the narrator, not of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be

upon him). Hence al-Bukhaari narrated this hadeeth (no. 5420) and he did not mention this phrase.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

These people are praised because they did not ask anyone to recite ruqyah for them, and ruqyah is a type of du’aa’, so they did not ask others to pray for them. The phrase “and they did not recite ruqyah” which is mentioned in the hadeeth is a mistake (on the part of the narrator), for their ruqyah for themselves and for others is a good deed. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) recited ruqyah for himself and for others; he did not ask anyone to recite ruqyah for him. His reciting ruqyah for himself and others was like his making du’aa’ for himself and others; this is something that is enjoined, for all the Prophets asked of Allaah and prayed to Him, as Allaah tells us in the stories of Adam, Ibraaheem, Moosa and others.

Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 1/182

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Page 166: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

This phrase is inserted in the hadeeth, but it is a mistake on the part of some of the narrators. Haadi al-Arwaah, 1/89.

Ruqyah is one of the greatest remedies that the believer should use regularly.

2 – With regard to the du’aa’ that is prescribed for the Muslim to say if he wants to recite ruqyah for himself or for someone else, there are many such du’aa’s, the greatest of which are al-Faatihah and al-Mi’wadhatayn.

A group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) set out on a journey and travelled until they made came near one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they refused to do so. Then the leader of that tribe was stung, and they tried everything but nothing helped him. Then some of them said, Why don’t you go to those people who are staying (nearby)? Maybe some of them have something. So they went to them and said, O people, our leader has been stung and we have tried everything and nothing helped him. Do any of you have something? One of them said, Yes, by Allaah. I will perform ruqyah for him, but by Allaah we asked you for hospitality and you did not give us anything, so we will not perform ruqyah for you unless you give us something in return. So they agreed on a flock of sheep, then he started to blow on him and recite Al-hamdu Lillaahi Rabb il-‘Aalameen. Then he recovered quickly from his complaint and started walking, and there was nothing wrong with him. Then they have them what they had agreed to, and some of them (the Sahaabah) said, Let us share it out. The one who had performed ruqyah said, Do not do anything until we come to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and tell him what happened, and we will wait and see what he tells us to do. So they came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him what had happened. He said, “How did you know that it is a ruqyah?” Then he said, “You did the right thing. Share them out, and give me a share.” And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) smiled. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2276, and by Muslim, 2201).

It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was ill, he would recite al-Mi’wadhatayn over himself and spit drily. When his pain grew intense, I recited over him and wiped him with his own hand, seeking its barakah (blessing).”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4728; Muslim, 2192

The du’aa’s that have been narrated in the Sunnah include the following:

Muslim (2202) narrated from ‘Uthmaan ibn Abi’l-Aas that he complained to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about pain that he had felt in his body from the time he had become Muslim. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him: “Put your hand on the part of your body where you feel pain and say ‘Bismillaah (in the name of Allaah) three times, then say seven times, ‘A’oodhu bi ‘izzat-illaah wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajid wa uhaadhir (I seek refuge in the glory and power of Allaah from the evil of what I feel and worry about).”

Al-Tirmidhi (2080) added: He said, I did that, and Allaah took away what I had been suffering, and I kept on enjoining my family and others to do that.” (Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 1696)

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to seek refuge for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, and he would say: “Your father [ meaning Ibraaheemm peace be upon him] used to seek refuge with Allaah for Ismaa’eel and Ishaaq with these words: A’oodhu bi kalimaat Allaah al-taammah min kulli shaytaanin wa haammah wa min kulli

Page 167: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

‘aynin laammah (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah, from every devil and every poisonous reptile, and from every evil eye).’” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3191.

And Allaah knows best.

Islam Q&A (www.islam-qa.com)

Embargo on Lying

Following are verses from The Holy Quran that throw light upon the issue of lying.

" And those who do not bear witness to lies, and if they pass by some evil talk, they pass by it with dignity " [Al-Qur'an 25:72]

"... So shun the abomination of idols, and shun lying speech " [Al-Qur'an 22:30]

And according to a hadeeth narrated by Abu Bakra, Allah's Apostle said thrice:

" 'Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?' We said ' Yes, O Allah's Apostle '. He said, ' To join partners in worship with Allah, To be undutiful to one's parents '. The prophet sat up after he had been reclining and added, ' And I warn you against giving forged statements and a false witness; I warn you against giving forged statements and a false witness '. The Prophet kept on saying that till we thought that he would not stop " [Bukhari, Book of Good Manners]

Thus it is quite evident from The Quran and Sunnah that lying is amongst the greatest sins. So can a Muslim be a liar? Of course not! But what about Muslims like us. Do we lie or not?

Types of Lying

Lying can be grouped into three categories, namely:

1. Lying against Allah 2. Lying against the Prophet 3. Lying with common people

1. Lying Against Allah

This is the worst type of lying. The Holy Quran says:

" And who can be more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allah, or says: ' A revelation has come to me ' whereas no revelation has come to him in anything; and who says, ' I will reveal the like of what Allah has revealed' ..." [6:93]

According to this verse, one type of lying against Allah is to say, "Revelation has come to me" whereas no revelation has come. And very close to this would be to say that "I am the Prophet of Allah" but actually he is

Page 168: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

not. There have been individuals with such claims, but instead of rebuking them, some people accepted them as religious leaders and faith healers.

Some associate partners with Allah and some make humans as sons of Allah and say that this is the truth revealed by Allah. In reality these are all lies invented against Allah. And praise be to Allah who is far from the foul of polytheism which people practice.

Some are trapped in this type of lying but are ignorant about it. For e.g. see the large no of sects based on the names of various scholars and cities, which people have invented in Islam. Each one says that his sect is the right one and is according to the Quran and Sunnah, but the truth is that The Quran only orders people to obey Allah and His Prophet and does not approve of any other submission apart from this. One might quote the verse, which says that Quran has ordered to obey those amongst you who are in authority. For that it should be very clear that according to Allah's law, one may obey a ruling authority only when it is ruling according to the sayings of Allah and His Prophet. If the command is other than this then they are not to be obeyed.

Some alter the original Book of Allah with their own words and say that it is from God (Allah) and some preach religion in a way, so as to give the impression that it is according to Quran and from Allah but actually it is not like that. The Holy Quran says:

" And verily, among them is a party who distort the Book with their tongues (as they read), so that you may think it is from the Book, but it is not from the Book. And they say, ' This is from Allah ', but it is not from Allah. And they speak a lie against Allah while they know it " [3:78]

There is another group who refrains from what Allah has allowed to take benefit of. For e.g. these people would not get married thinking that it is an act of piety, etc. Instead of reproving them, some people have taken them as religious vanguards. Worst scenario is that when some people refrain themselves and forbid others, not only from what Allah has allowed, but in fact from what Allah has commanded or what the Prophet has commanded to do. Allah says in the Quran:

" Indeed they have suffered loss, those who have killed their children foolishly without knowing, and have forbidden that which Allah has provided for them, inventing a lie against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and were not guided " [6:140]

Regarding penalty for such an act i.e. lying against Allah, The Holy Quran says:

"... And if you could but see when the Zalimun (polytheists and the wrong-doers) are in the agonies of death, while the angels are stretching forth their hands (saying): ' Deliver your souls! This day you shall be recompensed with the torment of degradation because of what you used to utter against Allah other than the truth. And you used to reject His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) with arrogance!'." [6:93]

And at another place The Quran says:

" And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allah - their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant? " [39:60]

2. Lying Against the Prophet

The second type of lying is to lie against the Prophet. It is also a great sin. Lying against the Prophet means to say something on behalf of the Prophet, which the Prophet never said. For e.g. The Prophet of Allah Isa

Page 169: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

(Jesus - peace be upon him) never asked anyone to worship him or his mother or that he was a son of God. But there are people who hold these polytheistic beliefs, and for authenticating their faith, ascribe this towards Isa (Jesus - peace be upon him). The Holy Quran says:

" And behold! God will say, O Jesus the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, ' Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah?'. He will say, Glory to you. Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Yours. For you know in full what is hidden " [5:116]

The last Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"... Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire " [Bukhari - Book of Knowledge]

It is important to know why anyone would ascribe something towards the Prophet, which he never said? The answer that comes to mind is simple i.e. to prove oneself right or to take advantage of the Prophet's decision in one's favor.

Regarding this act the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

" You people present your cases to me and some of you may be more eloquent and persuasive in presenting their argument. So, if I give someone's right to another (wrongly) because of the latter's (tricky) presentation of the case, I am really giving him a piece of fire; so he should not take it " [Bukhari - Book of Witnesses]

So what about narrating fabricated ahadeeth (sayings) ascribed towards the Prophet, to prove the authenticity of one's erroneous religious beliefs or man made religious sects? Is it not the same as ascribing lies towards the Prophet? One should not even narrate weak ahadeeth, in order to avoid the possibility of ascribing doubtful statements towards the Prophet. But who listens! No one is interested in the truth. To support one's sect, people narrate weak ahadeeth in the presence of Sahih (correct) ahadeeth!

Allah says in The Quran:

" Of those who split up their religion and became sects, each sect is rejoicing in that which is with it " [30:32]

3. Lying With Common People

This third type is the one that impinges on human rights i.e. "Haqooq ul Ibaad", since by lying people are deceived and deception is one form of violation of human rights. Regarding the importance of human rights, following hadeeth alone would Insha Allah be sufficient to throw light upon the subject.

" Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: Do you know who is poor? They (the companions of the Holy Prophet) said: A poor man amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The poor of my Ummah would be, he who would come on the day of Resurrection with Prayers and Fasts and Zakat. And (he would find himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues) since he hurled abuses upon others, and brought slander against others, and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others, and shed the blood of others, and beat others. His virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds fall short to clear the account, then the sins (of one who suffered) would be entered in (the account of one who was guilty) and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire." [Muslim]

Page 170: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

One might think that the above mentioned evil acts like abusing, slandering, shedding blood, beating and unlawfully consuming other's wealth have got nothing to do with speaking lies. Though these acts like beating and shedding blood may be performed without the involvement of lies, but if we deeply think, we will come to know that these acts can also be the by-product of lies which we speak daily.

Let us take these evil acts (those mentioned in the above hadeeth) one by one and see if they can be an outcome of speaking lies.

First comes abusing. I don't think anyone will argue, saying that abusing has got nothing to do with lies. Just bring into mind various statements which people use for abusing and decide for yourself whether those statements are true or not! Then comes slandering, which means nothing but lies, it does not need an explanation.

Next is shedding of blood. Although majority of the cases may be due to anger or revenge but still there is some portion that is based upon lies. For e.g. If a pharmaceutical company manufactures a fake drug and sell it as if there is nothing wrong in it, then would it not be lies? And if people die because of using that fake drug then would it not be called bloodshed? If not! Then what would it be called? There can be many examples of selling fake commodities that are injurious to mankind, other than selling fake drugs. All of this is based on lies.

One can even cause bloodshed by making two groups or parties fight against each other, by speaking lies. Similarly one can incriminate others by speaking lies against them and ultimately getting them assassinated, and this would be bloodshed by speaking lies. No different from bloodshed is the act of beating another person. The only difference is that in one case the person dies and in other he does not, but rather gets injured or hurt. The procedure is the same for both i.e. by speaking lies against someone.

And finally some words about unlawfully consuming other's wealth. This is easily done by speaking lies or writing lies as it is a common practice now a days to gobble up someone's wealth or property. And who can argue that it is not based upon speaking lies? In fact, bribery (another curse and a sin) is used as a tool to make others lie, in order to consume unlawfully other's property or wealth.

Thus we see that by speaking lies we may impinge on human rights and if we impinge on human rights then according to the above mentioned hadeeth, our fate can be Hell-Fire. May Allah protect us from it.

Up to what Level can Islam Tolerate a Lie?

Islam wants to eradicate lies right from its roots. In a hadeeth of Muslim, Sa'id b Musayyib reported:

" Mu'awiya came to Medina and he addressed us and took out a bunch of hair and said: What do I see that one of you does, but that what the Jews did? When this act (adding of artificial hair) reached Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him), he named it as Lies (Cheating)" [Muslim, Book of Dress]

This clearly shows that Islam cannot tolerate a lie, even if it is at a diminutive level.

Some Exceptional Cases

There are some exceptional cases in which a person is allowed to speak lies. In a hadeeth of Sahih Muslim, Umm e Kulsum said that she heard Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying:

Page 171: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

" A liar is not one who tries to bring reconciliation amongst people and speaks good (in order to avert dispute), or he conveys good. Ibn Shihab said, he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything what the people speak as lie but in three cases. (1) In Battle, (2) for bringing reconciliation amongst persons, and (3) the narration of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them)" [Sahih Muslim, The Book of Virtue, Good Manners and Joining of the Ties of Relationship, Chapter: Forbiddance of telling a lie and the cases in which telling of lie is permissible]

Another exception can be evolved from Surah An-Nahl in the Quran, Allah says:

" Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief - not he who is compelled while his heart is contented with faith, but he who opens (his) breast for disbelief - on them is the wrath of Allah, and for them is a grievous chastisement " [16:106]

Thus one who is forced to, can utter some words of disbelief to save his life, but should feel bad about it in his heart and should be satisfied and contented with the true faith. Based on the analogy of the above mentioned cases as in The Quran and Hadeeth, one may speak lies for saving the life and honor of innocent persons from the highhandedness of tyrants and oppressors if one finds no other way to save them. And surely Allah knows the best.

Level of Ignorance

A lie is a great sin that most of us ignore. Unlike other religious matters for which we hold difference of opinion, there is none amongst us who would dispute against the fact that speaking lies is a great sin. But then why is it that majority of us speak lies? Our ignorance level is so high that we are prepared to accept an Imam who is a liar but cannot accept an Imam who prays without a cap!

Narrated Abu Huraira, the Prophet said:

" Whoever does not give up speaking lies and (does not give up forged) acts with it, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink." [Bukhari, Book of Fasting]

So what have we decided by now, to give up Lies or to give up our Fasts and demolish one pillar of Islam?

Oh Allah! Guide us all to the straight path

Modern Stress And Its Cure From Qur'anby Shahid Athar , M.D.

Stress is the most common aliment of modern age. It has been implicated in the causation of peptic ulcer disease, coronary heart disease, depression, auto immune disease, hypertension, diabetes and even cancer. In milder form it manifests in form of unrest, violence, at work, school and home. Common medical problems like tension headache, insomnia, and obesity are also attributed to unusual stress. None of us are free from stress but some deal with it better than others.

Page 172: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Stress results from the following factors:

a. Fear of the unknown and trying to see through and control the destiny.b. Losses in our life of people and things dear to us and our inability to recover those losses.c. Inner conflict between our heart and mind between what is known to be the truth and our failure to accept it as truth. Acceptance of truth may require changing our habits and way of life which we may adhere to for some reason like pleasure, joys, taste, pride in race or heritage etc.Let us examine how Quran deals with such situations.

Our losses are a trial for us:"Be sure we will test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives, but give glad tidings to those who are steadfast, who say when afflicted with calamity: To God we belong and to him is our return. They are those on who (DESCEND) blessings from God and mercy and they are the once that receive guidance. 2:155

Thus in Islam, we do not have concept of the ownership of goods and life. Everything belongs to God and returns to him. So if we don't own that thing why mourn our loss?

a. Our destiny is predetermined. We do not have control on that part. What we have control over is a limited free will, that is our actions, our choice to do good or bad, to believe in God or not to believe in Him, but we have no control over tomorrow's event not related to our actions i.e. whether my wife will have a son or daughter, whether his/her eyes will be brown or black, or whether I will have an accident or not tomorrow. WorTying over such things is of no use.

b. Rejection of faith in Quran is called a disease. This denial of truth is due to arrogance.

"In their heart there is a disease and God has increased their disease and grievous is their penalty because they lie to themselves." 2:10

Therefore after lying to ourselves, we set up an inner conflict - between heart and mind. In order to contain that conflict the mind sends signals to glands for secretion of harmones like adrenaline which leads to rapid heart rate, perspiration, tremor, the basis of lie detector test.

This lying conflict could be due to "SMALL" crimes like theft or adultery, or big crimes like rejection of God.

3 stages of spiritual development of soul age

a. Nafsul Ammara: -The Passionate soul "I do not absolve myself Lo the (human) soul is prone to evil, save that whenever my Lord has mercy. Lo, Lord is forgiving; merciful." 12:53 (Surah Yusuf)

This soul inclines toward sensual Pleasure, passion and self gratification , anger, envy, greed, and conceit. Its concerns are pleasure of body, gratification of physical appetite, and ego.

Hadith "your most-ardent-enemy is your evil self which resides within your body" (Bukhaii).

If this evil soul is not checked wiR lead to unusual stress and its resultant effects.

- b. Nafsul Lawanunah (The Reproaching Soul). "Nay, I swear by the reproaching soul" 75:1

This soul is conscious or aware of Evil, resists it, asks for God's grace, and pardon, repents and tries to ammend and hopes to achieve salvation.

Page 173: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

"And (There are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mix a righteous action with another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is relenting, merciful." 9:102

Hadith "These are two impulses within us. One spirit which calls towards good and confirms the truth. He who feels this impulse should know that it comes from Allah. Another impulse comes from our enemy (Devil) which leads to doubt and holds untruth and encourages evil. He who feels this should seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil."

This soul warns people of their vain desire, guides and opens the door to virtute and righteousness. It is a positive step in spiritual growth.

c. The satisfied soul (Nafsul Mutmainnah). "O (you) soul in (complete) rest and satisfaction. Come back to your Lord, will pleased (yourself) and will pleasing unto him. Enter you then among my devotees, enter you in my heaven." 89:27-30

This is the highest state of spiritual development. satisfied soul is the state of bliss, content and peace. The soul is at peace because it knows that inspite of its failures in this world, It will return to God. Purified of tension, it emerges from the struggle with obstacles blocking the peace of mind and heart.

What should we do in panic and despair? In panic non-believers behave differently than believers. They have no one to return to, to ask for mercy and forgiveness, their life is this life, which they cannot control, thus get more depressed and increase in their state of wrong doing. Then we will see that if they are used to casual drinking will start drinking more and become alcoholic, or a barbital criminal.On the other hand a believer should do the following:a. Increase dhikr (Remembrance of God)"who have believed and whose heart have Rest in the remembrance of God. Verify in the remembrance of God, do hearts find rest." 13:28

b. Increase their prayer."O you who believe, seek help with steadfastness and prayer. For God is with those who are steadfast." 2:153

c. Ask forgiveness"And I have said: seek forgiveness from your Lord. Lo He was ever forgiving." 71:10

In addition to above we are also asked to continue to struggle to up-grade ourselves." surely God does not change the condition in which a people are in until they change that which is in themselves." 13:11

In summary, I conclude that stress results from lack of inner peace due to conflicts within us and leads to external disturbances in our behavior and health. Inner peace can only be achieved by believing in God, the All Mighty, and remembering him frequently and asking for his help and forgiveness in times of difficulties.

Hardening of the Heart

Abu Ameenah Bilaal Philips

Transcript of a lectureDarul Arqam, Singapore, 26th November 1998

Page 174: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam informed us in a very famous tradition, commonly quoted with reference to halal and haram, about the importance of the heart. He said:

"There is in the body a lump of flesh - if it becomes good, the whole body becomes good and if it becomes bad, the whole body becomes bad. And indeed it is the heart."

The hadith in full:- Bukhary, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 49: Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Both legal and illegal things are evident but in between them there are doubtful (suspicious) things and most of the people have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these suspicious things saves his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in these suspicious things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else and at any moment he is liable to get in it. (O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allah on the earth is His illegal (forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.

He said that after explaining that the halal is clear and that the haram is clear and that between them are obscure areas, not known to most people. However, what protects a person from the haram and ensures that he remains in the halal is knowledge; but beyond knowledge, it is the state of the heart. If the heart is good, then it makes use of the knowledge and it avoids what is prohibited. If the heart is bad, then the knowledge is of no benefit to it and it will indulge in what is prohibited.

The Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam, on the last pilgrimage, informed his Companions and the nations of Muslims to come, that there is no favour or no special place of the Arab over the non-Arab; nor is there any favour or special position of White over Black, but that favour in the sight of Allah, is with those who fear Him, those who have taqwa. After bearing witness to that, he said that "Taqwa is in the heart."

In these statements and other similar statements, we find stress being placed on the heart - that the heart is the part of the body, which Allah has favoured over all other parts. It is the place of iman. Had there been in the body another part that were nearer to Allah, taqwa would have been placed there because iman is the most valuable thing that a human being can have. There is nothing more valuable. It is the determination ultimately of those who have belief in Allah - those who have accepted the message and who have chosen Paradise over Hell. It is the distinction of those who have belief and those who have disbelief.

The value of iman is more than all of the things of this world. This is why the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam said that for ALLAH to guide by your hands a single person to Islam is worth more than anything in this world. For you to help someone to find iman is worth more than any of the things in this world.

The heart is the place by which the correctness of deeds is judged. The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam said: "Deeds are judged according to the intention." The place of the intention is not on the lips. It is in the heart.

Page 175: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The hadith in full:- Bukhary, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 51: Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intention and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration was for Allah and His Apostle. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Our deeds - what we do externally - are judged ultimately by the states of our hearts. These are good deeds. Evil deeds are evil, but these good deeds are in reference to those that we perceive to be a part and parcel of righteousness. Allah will inspect the hearts to determine whether they are truly acts of righteousness.

The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam had informed us that the first 3 people who would be cast into the Hell Fire are people who were involved in what everybody considers great acts of righteousness. They are the scholar who taught knowledge; the wealthy person who gave from his wealth in charity and the martyr who gave his life fighting in the path of God.

The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam, in an authentic narration, said that they would be among the first groups of people thrown into because the scholar, when he taught the knowledge that Allah gave him, did not do so for the sake of Allah. He taught so that people would praise him, saying what a great scholar he is and how knowledgeable he is. Allah will say to him: You received your praise, what you sought in that world. But there will be nothing for you in the next. So he will be drawn off on his face and thrown into Hell.

Similarly the rich individual - the philanthropist, who was generous with his wealth. He gave and people praised his generosity, but Allah will say, You did it for the praise and you were praised. There was no sincerity there; it was not for the sake of Allah. You did it for as long as people appreciated it, but when people did not pay you mind, you were not generous anymore. Your generosity was conditional; it was not really for the sake of Allah. So that individual will be drawn off on his face and thrown into Hell.

And the martyr - the one whom we all assumed had died fii-sabilillah. We would think that his place in Paradise is guaranteed. But Allah will say: You fought so people would say, 'How brave this one is! How strong and courageous he was! People said it; they praised him, but he did not do it for the sake of Allah, so he will be drawn off on his face and thrown into Hell.

This is all telling us that ultimately, even the highest of deeds can be of no avail if the hearts are sick; if the hearts are corrupt. So the place of the heart should, in our minds, occupy great attention. We have to spend much of our time observing, being aware of the state of our heart. When the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam described Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, explaining to the people his status over the rest of them, he said, "He does not surpass you by performing more prayers and fasts - there are among you those who pray and fast more - but by something which deeply has embedded itself in his heart. Iman in his heart." That was where his superiority laid.

So there is no other faculty in the human body and existence that a believer should more concerned about. We have to make sure that this faculty is functioning as Allah wishes it to function. We should be greatly concerned about it. The Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam used to make dua often, beginning: "I seek refuge in you, O Allah, from knowledge that does not benefit and from a heart which does not fear".

The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam had a very soft heart. He treated people gently.

Page 176: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

His wives said that they could not recall an incident where he hit them or scolded them harshly. He was known for his gentleness. And Allah confirmed that this quality is an essential quality.

Allah said in the Quran, Surah Ali-Imran (3:159), "Due to Allah's mercy, you are gentle with them. Had you been severe and harsh hearted, they would have fled from around you."

This was the quality of the Prophets and this is the characteristic that all those who seek to guide others to Allah must have. As it was essential for the Prophets, it is essential for us. It is essential for those who seek knowledge; it is essential for all people. It is essential for parents, with regard to their children.

Softness of the heart is something that we cannot spend too much time on.

With regards to children, Al-Aqra Ibn Habis was visited by the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam. The Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam lifted one of his children and placed the child on his lap. He kissed the child out of the kindness and softness of his heart towards the child. Al-Aqra said, "I have 10 other children and I have not kissed a single one of them." This was a point of pride, manhood - that one is not soft, that one is tough. The Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam said to him, "Can I help it if Allah has removed mercy from your heart?" He went on to say, "And whoever is not merciful will not receive mercy."

So it is essential that parents show mercy to their children. And if we look at a home where a father is kind and merciful with his children, we find a home that is full of happiness and joy.

Mercy is something that we cannot live without.

The reality for those seeking knowledge - as it is compulsory for us to seek knowledge of the Deen - is that if there is not, along with that knowledge, a soft heart, then we cannot taste the beauty of that knowledge. As Hassan Al-Basri had said, "If a man seeks knowledge, it will appear in his face, hands and tongue and in his humility to Allah."

The opposite is true - that nothing corrupts knowledge and da'wa more than the harshness of the heart. Where hearts have become hardened, the knowledge is of no benefit to the individual, nor can that individual benefit others with it. Softness of the heart is the characteristic of true Muslims. If it becomes absent, then a person's life is filled with distress and discomfort. This is the promise of Allah. Those who lack hearts that are soft will lead woeful lives. As Allah said in Surah Az-Zumar (39:22), "Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah." They are in obvious misguidance. Woe to those whose hearts hear the Quran and they do not become fearful and humbled as a result of it. Woe to those whose eyes are reminded of the Words of Allah, but they do not weep in fear of Him. Woe to those who are reminded of the Warnings of Allah and they do not humble themselves to His Words.

It is a curse to have a hardened heart and it is a blessing to have a soft heart. Those with hardened hearts suffer in this life, even though they may have all of the trappings of this life. What seems to be an enjoyable life is empty - it is filled with loneliness. They cannot find peace of mind and of heart because their hearts are hardened to Allah, to belief in Allah, to submission to Allah.

Page 177: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

That is why Allah said, "Whoever turns away from my remembrance will have a wretched life." [Quran, Surah Ta-Ha 20:124: "Whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgement." It is only with the remembrance of Allah that hearts find rest. Quran, Surah Al-Ra'd 13:28: "Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction."

What is most beneficial in this life is a soft heart. We should strive to achieve it because everything else would be meaningless and useless if we do not have softened hearts. How do we achieve this?

It is not a secret. It is not something known only to a few, handed down in special sessions and gatherings. As the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam said, "I have left you on a clear white plain, whose day is like its night. Anyone who deviates from it is destroyed." The way of the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam clarifies for us how to achieve a soft heart.

The First Method - Du`aa or Supplication

The first method is dua or supplication. Nothing softens the heart more than asking Allah to soften it and make it merciful. This is the promise of the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam when he said: Call on Allah being certain that your prayer will be answered, but know at the same time that Allah will not answer the prayer of a heart which is negligent.

Dua will soften the heart and Allah is the One who will soften the heart. Our dua to Him will be answered, but we have to believe it. If we just raise our hands and ask, "O Allah, soften my heart!" and not really ask from the heart, it is just something we said - and we could have said ANYTHING else! If we call on Allah SINCERELY, He will soften the heart. "Call on Me and I will answer you."

Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186: "When my servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close to them: I respond to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me; let them also, with a will, listen to My call and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right way"

If we consider the many examples that we have from the lives of the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam and his companions, they would show us that it is Allah who can change the hearts.

Let us consider 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab. His attitude towards the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam and Islam was so harsh that he set out one day to kill the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam. He was fed up with the efforts of Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam to spread Islam that he felt he had to take it in his hands to finish this. He strapped on his sword and set out. On his way, he met another companion who told him to check on his own sister before seeing the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam. He was surprised and went to his sister's house, virtually tearing down the door. He slapped her and her husband until blood came from her face. He then stopped and looked at what he had caused.

On his way in, he had heard something from the Quran and it had touched him, but his anger did not

Page 178: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

allow it a chance to settle in his heart. But when he struck his sister and saw the blood, it stopped him for a minute. What he had heard before touched his heart. He asked what was being read before and some of the Quran was read for him. And he changed.

That was enough to turn him upside down. This was 'Umar! On another occasion, the other companions saw him laughing and then crying; one after the other. They asked what had caused that to happen to him. He said. "I remember that in the days of Jahiliyya, I used to have this idol made of dates. One day, I became so hungry that I ate a piece of it. And then, I cried when I remembered digging a hole and burying my daughter. Whilst I was putting her in, she reached up and brushed dirt from my beard." And he had buried her alive. That was the practice - those who felt it was a dishonour to have a daughter killed them. That was how hard his heart was - how hard his heart had become, to bury his daughter alive.

But his heart changed. Changed so much that 'Umar, when he used to lead the prayers, would be so choked up with tears that people from way back in the third row could hear him crying. This was Umar, a man who was so harsh, so powerful. a courageous individual, but with the acceptance of Islam, his heart was turned around.

So we should do as the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam advised us – to go to Allah and call on him to give us softened hearts and we should seek refuge as the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam had from the heart without fear. And in the same dua, he also sought refuge from the eyes that do not become full with tears, eyes that never cry.

The Second Way - Remember Death

The second way is that we remember the Hereafter, to remember our death. The one thing that we are one hundred per cent certain of - even if we have some doubt as to whether there is really a God; even if we wrongly wonder if what we are practising is really the truth when there are so many other people doing so many other things - is that we are going to die.

But our lives are such that we become so occupied with the things of this life that we forget that we are going to die. As Allah said, the gathering of wealth has deluded them to the realities of life and they only come awake when they end up in their graves. [At-Takathur 102: "The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things), until ye visit the graves. But nay, ye soon shall know the reality."] This is a fearful statement, that we should live lives unconscious of our deaths and thereby be lost in trivialities, things that are really ultimately not going to benefit us in the next life.

Consequently, Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam had said: I used to forbid you from visiting the graves in the early part of Islam. But now I command you to visit them because they serve to remind you of the next life.

["I [once] had forbidden you from visiting graves, [and I now enjoin] you to do so, so that the visit may serve as a beneficial reminder." (related by Muslim and others) ]

[Al-Haakim's version : "…for [such visits] soften the heart, bring tears to the eyes, and serve

Page 179: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

as a reminder of the Hereafter, [but be careful] not to speak forbidden expressions [i.e. while visiting]." (Sahih al-Jaami' 4584)

To go to the graveyard, reflecting on the state of those in the grave (not necessarily of your relatives alone). As the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam said, "The grave is either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a hole from the holes of Hell Fire." There are people in the graves who are calling out for help but there is no one to help. When Munkar and Nakir come and ask them, “Who is your Lord?” “What is your religion?” “Who was the Prophet that was sent to you?” they will be unable to answer!

[Volume 2, Book 23, Number 422: Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "When a human being is laid in his grave and his companions return and he even hears their foot steps, two angels come to him and make him sit and ask him: What did you use to say about this man, Muhammad? He will say: I testify that he is Allah's slave and His Apostle. Then it will be said to him, 'Look at your place in the Hell-Fire. Allah has given you a place in Paradise instead of it.' " The Prophet added, "The dead person will see both his places. But a non-believer or a hypocrite will say to the angels, 'I do not know, but I used to say what the people used to say! It will be said to him, 'Neither did you know nor did you take the guidance (by reciting the Quran).' Then he will be hit with an iron hammer between his two ears, and he will cry and that cry will be heard by whatever approaches him except human beings and jinns."]

This is not something we can memorise in preparation for the questions, because it is not a matter of not knowing, but that we will be incapable of answering as part of the degradation of that life. We know that the answer is the key for the next life, but we cannot use the key. We don't have access to it because it never entered our hearts in this life. If it did not enter our hearts in this life that Allah is our Lord and that Muhammad is our Prophet and that Islam is our religion, then that knowledge will not benefit us in the next life.

So we are encouraged to visit the graves and on that basis, this is not unique to men, for the benefits that come from visiting he graves is not unique to men. This is why some scholars argue that visiting the graves is not prohibited to women, but that it is the frequent visits that are prohibited, due to the sensitivity of their nature. Hence not regular visits, but to go from time to time, as they need the reminder just as men need the reminder.

Allah describes those, in the Quran, who when they reflect on the Hereafter, are affected. It affects them in the nights. “They slept little in the night and in the hours before dawn, they were found seeking Allah's forgiveness.” They wake up in the night with the remembrance of the life to come – the trials of the grave and the Judgement to come. These lead them to get up from their beds at a time when sleep is so sweet.

Brothers and sisters! Let us reflect on that life to come. Let us reflect on the process after death; the process in dying itself - how the souls are taken from the bodies of believers, as the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam said, "like water dropping from the spout of a bucket”; but for the disbelievers, "like silk being drawn over thorns", tearing away. That soul that fears Allah is taken in the next life up into the Heavens and the angels of the Heavens will praise it. It will return to that body and a Garden from Paradise will be opened up to it and it will lie in that state till Resurrection. But for those whose hearts have hardened towards the remembrance of Allah, the soul will be barred entrance into the Heavens. It will be thrown back into the body. Their evil deeds will come before them as a horrible creature and they will suffer torments. A widow from Hell will be open and the heat will be over them until Resurrection.

Page 180: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

And what happens on the Resurrection, when we stand before Allah and answer for each and every deed that we have done, when nothing escapes Allah, when the things that we have in this life will be of no benefit to us. The only thing that will benefit us is to stand before Allah with a healthy heart.

The Third Way - The Qur'an

The third way by which we can soften our hearts is the Quran itself. Allah states in the Quran, Al-Hadid,

57:16,

"Has not the time come for those who believe for their hearts to fear Allah when they hear

the Quran (dhikrullah here is in reference to the Quran) and what truth there is in it, so that

they not be like those who received the Scripture before, but in the passage of time, their

hearts became hard. And most of them are corrupt."

If we reflect on the Quran, it has the power to soften our hearts. Allah said, about the jinn who heard the Quran,

"Indeed we heard an amazing Quran; it guides us to Allah andwe believe in it and we will set not partners besides Allah."

[See Quran, Surah al-Ahqaf 46:29-32]

Allah goes on to describe the righteous,

"And if they (this is amongst the Christians) hear what was revealed to the Messenger, you will see their eyes welling up with tears because of what they know of the truth of what has been brought."

This was the case of the ruler of Ethiopia. When Muslims sought refuge there and they recited a portion of the Quran, they saw his eyes fill with tears.

This is how we should be. When we hear the Quran, we should reflect on the meanings. The Quran should not become for us a replacement for pop songs that we used to hear before. People buy recordings of their favourite reciters for the beauty of their voice. The listening of the Quran has become more of a musical thing. We are entertained by that music, so much so that when the reciter is reading, we hear people in the background going, "Allah! Allah! Allah!" People making statements in the background as thought it were a pop show! This is not the Quran. Allah tells us, "Will they not reflect (on the meanings)?"

The Quran is a Book of Guidance and it is in the reflection on the meaning of the Quran that we benefit,

Page 181: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

for it is very important for us to re-assess how we are dealing with the Quran. We should be reading it regularly, not just during Ramadhan. We reflect on it. Not just reading it only in Ramadhan so we can finish the whole Book and say we finished the Quran in Ramadhan. It really does not matter if we don't finish the Quran in Ramadhan. For most of the Prophet's Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam life, he did not finish the whole Quran in Ramadhan. Most of the companions did not finish the reading of the Quran in Ramadhan. Today, for us, Ramadhan is not complete unless we read the whole Quran in Ramadhan. We hire reciters to recite the Quran at 99 miles an hour so much so that even Arabic-speaking people cannot figure out where in the Quran the reciter is!

This has become the precedence - finishing the Quran in Ramadhan and if you can finish it twice, even better! But this is not what the Quran is for. The Quran is for reflection, so that when we hear it, as Allah says of the believers who hear the Quran recited, goose bumps come over their skins. It touches them and causes their heart to tremble.

[Quran Az-Zumar 39:23]: “Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, yet repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble threat; then their skins and hearts do soften

to the remembrance of Allah.”

If when we listen to the Quran, we don't find this reaction of tears coming to our eyes, then we should make ourselves cry. Force ourselves to cry because we need to respond to the Quran in this way. If we don't, we are lost! This is the Word of Allah, the only preserved Word of all the revelations that were given from Adam till now. This is the word of God preserved.

We should read the Quran believing this is Allah speaking to us, because that is what it is. It is Allah talking to us directly. Every time he tells us something about the Jews, we should not (merely) take it as a piece of information, that the Jews are this and the Jews are that. No! Whenever Allah tells us something about the Jews, we should see in it as a warning to ourselves - that we don't become like them. When Allah said, "ghairil maghdoobi 'alayhim wa la-ddaalleen." in Surah Al-Fatiha, the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam explained that al-maghdoob 'alayhim are the Jews and that ad-daalleen are the Christians. Those with whom Allah is angry are the Jews and those who have gone astray are the Christians. Allah is angry with the Jews because they KNOW the truth and they don't act on it. "You call people to righteousness and you forget yourselves." They changed the Book. The Christians are without knowledge; they are lost. They think that God is a man!

This is a warning to us. Every time we recite these verses, Allah is warning us not to be like them - we

have the truth, we have the Scripture, but we are not acting according to them. If we do not seek

knowledge, if we do not find out what it is Allah wants from us, then we are lost. Every time we read

the "ghairil maghdoobi 'alayhim wa la-ddaalleen.” it should touch us. We should reflect on it and it

should touch us.

There are so many verses throughout the Quran that remind us of the Hereafter, that remind us of the signs of the Day of Judgement. It is enough for us to open any part of the Quran to read about them. In virtually every chapter of the Quran Allah addresses the next life. It is linked to our second point of visiting the graves and remembering the Hereafter. The Quran speaks about the life to come and to reflect on it.

The Fourth Way - Righteous Deeds

Page 182: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

The fourth way for us to soften our hearts is by way of good deeds. Righteous deeds done sincerely for Allah will soften our hearts. In the initial stages, maybe we can't see how it softens our hearts, but we have to stick with it and believe. As the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam told us, that the slave of Allah does not come closer to Him except by doing the deeds that He has made compulsory for him. The compulsory deeds - the 5 daily prayers, the fast, etc. While praying, sometimes we wonder, "Where is the benefit? Where is the change?" The point is that if we keep working at it, there will be benefit. We may not see it immediately. It is something that becomes cumulative, like a person growing. They can hardly wait till they are going to be big and they put a mark on the wall, wondering when they are going to get up there. They cannot perceive themselves growing because it is something accumulating within them.

Similarly, righteous deeds… and the first of the righteous deeds are the one that God commands. It is a mistake to go to the things that He did not command us to do and to put all our focus on these areas and leave the primary things that He commanded us to do. If we have not established 5 times daily prayers on time, then it does not matter whatever else we do. It is useless. This is the foundation - if we cannot do what Allah has commanded us to do, has demanded of us, then how can we please Him in anything else? Then, for us, pleasing God is according to ourselves – what is pleasing to us will please God. This is not pleasing God. We have to remember that the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam told us: The Hell Fire is veiled by the things that are pleasing to us and Paradise is veiled by the things that we do not like.

"Things that we do not like" are not necessarily those things that are evil, but those that our own nafs

does not like because they require work and effort. We like the easy way. So we would like not to pray

and if someone were to tell us that it is not necessary to pray, we would say "Alhamdulillah!" This is our

nature - we would be happy with that. However, we should be sad because we can only pray in this life

and in the next, we have no chance to pray anymore. This is where prayer will benefit us, because in

the next life, we will want to pray. We will beg Allah. Allah describes those who come before him for

judgement: when they see their deeds and they know that they have put themselves in Hell. What will

they do? Will they argue with Allah and ask why He has put them in Hell? No, they will ask Allah for

another chance to go back and do what Allah has told them to do and more. [see Surah Al-A'raf 7:53]

But Allah will know that they are lying for they would do the same if sent back. For if Allah were to send

us back, He will not send us back with the knowledge that we have then. He would send us back just as

we were before.

Prayer is for OUR benefit. When we pray, we are not benefiting Allah. If every human being on this earth prayed, it would not increase or benefit Allah in any way, just as if nobody prayed, it would not decrease or affect Allah in any way. Prayer is for OURSELVES. That is why the Prophet used to say, "Bilal, give us ease by giving the call to prayer." Prayer was considered a time of pleasure but for us it is a burden. The sooner we finish, the better so we can get on with our lives. That is a mistake. Our hearts have become hard.

Page 183: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

Allah describes the Jews: after all the signs that were given to them, with the passage of time, their hearts became hard. Our hearts have become hard. We have accepted Islam, we are awakened to Islam and we start to practise Islam, but time has passed and our hearts have become hardened.

[Quran, Surah Al-Hadid 57:16 : "Has not the time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed to them, and that they should not become like those to whom was given The Book a foretime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors."]

Prayer is not something that is pleasurable to us, but we have to keep striving and recognise that this is natural. Iman increases and decreases. The heart hardens and we fight against it and it softens. It is a continual struggle until we die. We just pray that we die with hearts that are soft and fearful. We have to keep struggling and it is in that struggle that ultimately we do taste Imaan; that we do taste what the Salaah was prescribed for; what the remembrance of Allah should mean in our lives. The Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam describes those who receive the shade of Allah' s throne on the day when there is no shade: the one who remembers Allah and cries. His heart is soft.

Bukhary, Volume 8, Book 76, Number 486: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said Allah will give shade to seven (types of people) under His Shade (on the Day of Resurrection). (one of them will be) a person who remembers Allah and his eyes are then flooded with tears.

[Bukhary, Volume 1, Book 11, Number 629: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons are) a just ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e. worships Allah sincerely from childhood), a man whose heart is attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the mosque in congregation), two persons who love each other only for Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only, a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah, a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much he has given in charity), and a person who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears."]

So we should not shy away from good deeds for they will help to soften our hearts. The Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam had said that greeting our brothers or sisters with a smiling face is Sadaqah. Nothing should be too small for us: no good deed is so trivial that we scorn at it. We should strive to do every good deed.

But we should begin with the things Allah has made compulsory. We should establish the salah as Allah prescribed it; we have to establish our zakah as it is supposed to be given; we have to fast as it is supposed to be done and the hajj and umrah if we are able. These fundamentals have to be established for the sake of Allah; they provide the foundation for the softening of the heart. As we continue to do these acts and voluntary versions of these acts, we come closer and closer to Allah, until Allah says He becomes the eyes with which we see, where we see only the things that Allah wants us to see. We avoid the things that Allah does not want us to see; we turn away from them; we don't enjoy them. We only touch the things Allah wants us to touch; we only take what Allah wants us to take; we only go to places that Allah wants us to go. If we turn to Allah and we call on Him He will answer our prayer. This is the promise of the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam.

So my brothers and sisters, I ask you and myself to remember our hearts; to reflect on the state of our

Page 184: 3757061 Cure From Black Magic

hearts. Whenever we have a moment, question: what state are we in? To work on our hearts until we have succeeded in softening them, by the mercy and the grace of Allah. We begin that process by turning to Allah. In our next prayer tonight, let us turn back to Allah and beg him sincerely to soften our hearts and when we do so, if we are sincere, our hearts will begin to soften. It is the promise of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam. We should read the Quran and do as much as we can of righteous deeds. We should reflect on the next life by visiting the graves and by reading the verses addressing them; by reading the statements of the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam about the next life. We should do these things and strive to soften our hearts. As I said before, if after doing them we cannot find softness in our hearts, then we need to make ourselves cry. We need to force ourselves to cry because until we can let go and let loose those feeling within ourselves, then the hearts cannot become soft.

So I pray and I ask Allah to give us all soft hearts, hearts that are filled with mercy for the creating of Allah, our children, our parents, our brothers and sisters in Islam… even those towards people who are not Muslims. I ask Allah to put in our hearts softness towards them in the sense that it would guide us to carry the message to them as we should. I ask Allah to give us success to turn back to the Quran, to read it regularly,seeking understanding and guidance from it and I ask Allah to give us soft hearts.
