Ramadhaan-Chart-2012

TALISMAN

The word talisman comes from the Arabic word, tilsam which itself comes from the Greek word telos which means to consecrate or to initiate into the mysteries. A talisman can be defined as, “An object that has apparently magical or miraculous effects and that can avert misfortune and bring good fortune when acquired”.

AMULET

According to Dr. J. Knappert, the word ‘amulet’ was originally derived from the Greek word ‘amylon’ meaning ‘food’, which were offered at places where ‘spirits’ were thought to pass, in order to please them and avoid their harm. [An Encyclopaedia of Myth and Legend – African Mythology].

The word ‘amulet’ in the English language has been defined as: “An object, either natural or man-made, believed to be endowed with special powers to protect or bring good fortune… amulets are thought to derive power from their connection with natural forces, from religious associations, or from being made in a ritual manner at a favorable time.” [The New Encyclopaedia Britannica (15th Edition 1991)]

TAWEEZ

The word taweez is an Urdu rendering of the Arabic word ‘ta’weedh’ which is another word used for tameemah. A tameemah can be defined as an object which is hung on someone or something with the belief that it has the power to repel harm or bring about good fortune. Therefore the words taweez and tameemah are often translated as amulet, charm or talisman.

The reality today is that most taweez which are sold to unaware victims contain things which no layman can decipher! These taweez contain numbers, grids, letters, diagrams, symbols, etc. which are all based on the practices of magicians and Cabbalists. In some cases, taweez have been found to contain supplications to other than ALLAH, such as Angels, Prophets and even Jinns! Not only is this ascribing partners to ALLAH – as none can answer supplications except HIM – but it also bears likeness to the taweez used by the Pre-Islamic Arabs and people of other religions who call upon ‘spirits’ to achieve their goals!
 

EXPOSING THE REALITY!!!!

 
Here are few points which will expose the reality behind these taweez (either numeral or quranic verses) :

Every taweez has entities / jinn attached to it. They serve as slaves to that taweez. And in this way they possess you and can play with your psyche too.

These entities relieve you from a certain illness or problem for a while. For example, if you get scared at night, these jinns will deal with other jinns around you so that they should not bother you but they are allowed to live with you. You are also like a magnet for other entities if you are wearing any taweez. They are attached with you protecting you from smaller problems but in the longer run creating a bigger problem. Or maybe putting you in a lifetime of SHIRK.

After an appointed time they start troubling you themselves so that you would go back to the peer / healer (considering the fact that your previous problem was solved by the taweez given by the healer).

The most dangerous part is that there are cases in which a healer sends his jinns with the client to his house to make a truce, pact or deal with the jinns already residing there. The deal is to ask the previous jinns to leave the client alone for sometime, hence creating an illusion that the client is healed. Jinns from both parties (i.e jinns sent by a magician and jinns sent by a healer) reside with the client together. The client’s faith in the healer increases and he bestows the healer with gifts and money.After sometime the jinns are allowed to bother the client again, making the client run back to the healer. This process continues for a lifetime. This deal is only possible if the jinns possessed by the healer are stronger than the ones already present with the client in his house.Alternatively, if the healer’s jinns are not stronger than the ones already present, a fatal war begins. The war is so intense that the client can go into coma or in extreme situations die.Many people have been victims to this phenomenon. ALLAH forgive us!

People do argue that they took their family to a certain peer/ healer and he got healed or they took their infertile wife and after receiving the taweez they were blessed with a child. What they fail to realize is that cures are not possible without the will of ALLAH. It was already written that the wife would have a child one day, but the real test was which path will the couple adopt to seek the cure, the right path or the wrong path.

No misfortune can happen on Earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before WE bring it into existence: That is truly easy for ALLAH” [57:22]

“Your destiny is defined, but the path has yet to be chosen. It could be ALLAH’s path or Satan’s path.”

“Say: ‘Who can guard and protect you in the night or in the day from the (punishment of the) Most Gracious (ALLAH)?’ Nay, but they turn away from the remembrance of their Lord.” (Al-Anbiya’: 42)

The Qur’an was revealed to be recited and followed; its commandments to be obeyed and its prohibitions heeded, its information to be believed and its limits to be adhered to, its parables and stories to serve as lessons and not to be hanged on walls or around necks.

The numerals 786 or any other numerals in no way represent ‘Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem’ or other Surahs of the noble Qur’ân and is not the Sunnah either.

ALLAH says in Qur’ân

“Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ân in order that you may understand” (12:2).

We are instructed to recite the Qur’an Majeed, as can be seen from the following verses:

“….So RECITE as much of the Qur’ân as may be easy (for you),…” (73:20).

Now would one recite the Qur’an if it is reduced to numbers? As an example, we shall reduce the Surah Fatihah to numerical figures for the benefit of the reader.

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem … 786
Al-humdolillaahir rubbuaalamin … 632
Ar-Rahmaan-ur-Raheem………………. 618
Malikay yawm-midhdeen…………….. 242
Eeyya ka Na’ bo-du Wa eeyya ka nastha’een … 836
Ah’daynas-sira thal mustaqeem… 1073
Sirat-ul a th(z)eena unamtha alay-him… 1807
Ghayril magh dhubay alayhim waludh ‘aleen… 4194

Total numerical value………………………………………… 10188

Does this mean that merely reading 1018 we have read the whole of Soorah al-Fatiha? Then why to recite verses, call numbers instead.

This old game of numbers was practiced by the ancient Egyptians, as did many other civilizations. Islam came to ELIMINATE ALL such superstitions, mysteries and numerological mambo-jumbo. However, Muslims are still enslaved to the number game.

Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) in his letters to different heads of states and governments, used the holy words at the top. Therefore, whosoever uses 786 with the intention to obtain ALLAH’s blessings, is a misguided person and any attempt to justify it, is ignorance.

More astonishing is that fact that ‘786’ is an aggregation of the numbers of Hindu ‘Lord Hari Krishna’.

H(a)iri Kr(i)shna. h-5, r-200, r-10, k-20, r-200, sh-300, n-50, a-1 = Aggregate of 786, Thus, the aggregate number of these letters (Hari Krishna) equals 786. This is also the case of ‘Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem’.

How can the numerical value of a quranic verse (basis for monotheism) be similar to a god of polytheism?

Therefore, it is necessary to avoid using this number to avoid the danger of being indulged in innovations.

Islam’s foundation is laid on the belief in Tawheed (oneness of ALLAH). If we associate anyone with ALLAH’s exalted names orally or practically, we would be committing infidelity which is an unpardonable sin. The Qur’ân warns us, one who finds a rival against ALLAH, ALLAH will never allow him to enter paradise, and his abode is the hell.

The letters by the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) to non-Muslim Kings and chiefs bear the holy words ‘Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem’. This was also the case of his noble companions. But nowadays we write 786 instead with the justification that papers are thrown, or disgraced. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and his noble companions respected every verse more than anyone else in this world.

Was the verse, ‘Today I completed your religion for you’, revealed by ALLAH to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) or to the so called scholars of our age who are all bent to CHANGE the Divine principles.

Now, when it became known that ‘786’ is written in place of Hindu, ‘Lord Krishna’, and has no significance in the Holy Qur’ân and Sunnah, it is obviously an innovation and goes against the Divine doctrine of ‘Obey Allaah and His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).

‘Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem’ holds great significance in the Qur’ân and Muslims are ordered to begin any work but in the names ALLAH, not in the number of ‘786’ or any other substitution.
