DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 2nd day of Jumaada Al-Thani (Monday 27th of January, 2020).
CHARMS, TALISMANS, and AMULETS in ISLAM. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
The issue of wearing amulets and good luck charms is important to understand for a Muslim to implement the teachings of monotheism (tawheed) in his or her daily life. Many cultures have practices in which they wear accessories or seek blessings from objects, believing that these objects can ward off evil. Such practices contradict the correct understanding of the attributes of ALLAH, as only ALLAH has the absolute power to bring benefit and protect from harm. ALLAH says:
قُل لَّا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Say: I have no power at all for myself to harm or benefit except as ALLAH wills. Surat Yunus 10:49.
And ALLAH says again:
وَلَا تَدْعُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَ ۖ فَإِن فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا مِّنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
Do not invoke besides ALLAH that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did so then you would be wrongdoers. Surat Yunus 10:106.
A believer should only place their hope and trust in ALLAH to direct destiny towards a good end. People who depend upon amulets, necklaces, trinkets, charms, spells, and other things have placed their ultimate hope and trust in them and they have ascribed to them attributes which belong to ALLAH alone, thereby committing an act of idolatry. Do not be deceived that it contains Quranic verses or good dua etc. The sunnah is to recite the recommended verses or zikir then blow dry air into your palms then wipe over your entire body or face that's all. Apologies for the delay in sharing. I've been busy at work this morning.
May ALLAH keep guiding us and our offspring and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
