Question

I would like to ask about Wearing of Taweez in light of Quran & Sahee Hadith. As per my sufficient knowledge our beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) never advised to any one for wearing Taweez & if its true than isn?t it a Bidat to do so?

Answer

In the name of All?h, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assal?mu ?alaykum wa Rahmatull?hi Wabarak?tuh

It is permissible to wear a taweez (Amulet)^[1], However we would advice one to recite the following Azkaars which have been mentioned in the Ahaadith instead of utilising Taweez. These Azkaar and Ad?iya are more effective.^[2]

There are three conditions for the permissibility of Taweez.

1. It is in one of the understood languages.
2. It is derived from Quran or Ahaadith^[3].
3. It is not considered that the Taweez itself is effective, but that Allah Ta?ala puts the effect in the Taweez. ^[4]

Ahaadith on the permissibility of Taweez.

• Hadrat Anas (RadiyallahuAnhu) reports that Nabi (SallalahuAllaihiWassalam) gave him permission to do ruqya for evil eye, fever, the numbing of a limb. (Muslim)^[5]

• Hadrat Aisha (RadiyallahuAnhu) says that Nabi (SallalahuAllaihiWassalam) asked us to do ruqya for the evil eye. (Bukhari & Muslim)^[6]

• Hadrat Umme Salamah (RadiyallahuAnhu) narrates that Nabi (SallalahuAllaihiWassalam) saw a slave girl in her house on whose face was discoloration. He asked us to do ruqya on her, for verily she has been afflicted with an evil eye. (Bukhari & Muslim)^[7]

• Hadrat Auf ibn Malik Al-Ashja?ee says ?We use to do ruqya in the days of Jaheeliya. We asked Nabi (SallalahuAllaihiWassalam), O Prophet of Allah, what is your opinion on this matter? He replied ?recite your ruqya to me. There is nothing wrong with ruqya as long as there is no shirk in it?. (Muslim)^[8]

Sayyidun?

One will receive the very same reward for reciting this dua on completion of the Fajr Sal?h.

However, Sayyidun? Ab?n Ibn Uthm?n ??? ???? ??? (the narrator of the Hadith) was once afflicted by a stroke. A certain man began staring at him in surprise. Sayyidun?

Allah (is such that) besides Him there is no Deity. He is Ever Living, The maintainer of everything. Neither sleep overcomes Him nor drowsiness. All that is in the skies and all within the earth belong to him. Who is there that can intercede before Him without His permission? (None can do this). He knows what is before them (He knows what lies ahead for His creation) and what is behind them while they possess none of His knowledge except if He wills (except what He teaches them). His throne (His knowledge and His power) encompasses the heavens and the earth (and whatever is within them) and He never tires of caring for them. He is High (above His creation), the Supreme..

In a lengthy narration, while discussing his encounter with a strange man (discovered to be Shayt?n), Sayyidun? Abu Hurairah ??? ???? ??? states that he was informed by Shayt?n to recite Ayatul Kursi. ["?When you go to sleep, recite Ayatul Kursi until you complete the Ayah. If you do so, you will be in the protection of Allah and no Shayt?n will come close to you until the morning." Rasulullah ??? ???? ???? ? ??? responded to these words by saying, "Listen well! He (Shayt?n) has spoken the truth despite being a great liar."] (Sah?h Bukhari #2311)

Purity and praises are for Allah according to the number of His creation, to the extent of His pleasure, equivalent to the weight of His throne and in proportion to the ink of His words (knowledge and wisdom).

Sayyidah Juwairiyah ??? ???? ???? reported that on one occasion, Nabi ??? ???? ???? ? ??? went away from her in the early morning to perform the Fajr Sal?h while she was in her prayer area. Nabi ??? ???? ???? ? ??? returned, after it became considerably bright, to find her in the same condition as he had left her. He then enquired, "Have you remained in the same state as I had left you?" "Yes" was the reply. To this Nabi ??? ???? ???? ? ??? commented, "I had recited four phrases thrice, if they have to be weighed, they will outweigh whatever you have supplicated since the morning (due to its excellence and virtue)."

O Allah, Whatever bounties I, or any of Your creation have experienced during the morning / the evening, it is from You alone. You have no partner and all praises belong to You.

O Allah, we place You in their direction (to ward them away from us) and we seek Your protection from their evil.

Sayyidun?

O Allah, suffice us as You will in regards to them!

While narrating the incident of his emigration to Madinah Munawwarah with Rasulullah ??? ???? ???? ? ???, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr ??? ???? ??? stated that, "We continued traveling while the (enemy-disbelievers) were in search of us. No one from amongst them caught up with us except Sur?qah Ibn M?lik who was mounted on his horse. I thus exclaimed, 'This seeker has caught up with us, O Rasulull?h!' and I began crying. Rasulullah ??? ???? ???? ? ??? said, 'Don't worry! Allah is definitely with us.' Again when he drew closer and there was barely the distance of two or three spear-lengths between us, I said, 'This seeker has caught up with us, O Rasulullah!' (And again) I began to cry. Rasulullah ??? ???? ???? ? ??? enquired, 'What is causing you to cry?' I replied, 'By the oath of Allah, I am not crying due to fear for myself, rather, I am crying for your sake (I am concerned about your safety).' Thereafter, Rasulullah ??? ???? ???? ? ??? cursed Suraqah saying, 'O Allah! Suffice us as You will against him!' As a result, his horse sunk with him into the ground until it reached its belly causing him to fall off from it." (Sah?h Ibn Hibb?n #6870)

O Allah, You are my Lord, There is no deity besides You. You have created me and I am your slave. I am (trying to be) steadfast on the pledge and promise I have taken with you to the best of my ability. I seek protection in you from the evil of my actions. I acknowledge Your bounties upon me and I admit my sins. Forgive me, for no one forgives sins besides You.

Sayyidun? Shadd?d Ibn Aus ??? ??? ????narrates that Rasulullah ??? ???? ???? ? ???said, ?Sayyidul istighfar (i.e. the most splendid form of seeking forgiveness from Allah Ta?ala) is to say?(the above-mentioned Du?). Whoever recites it during the day with conviction and dies on that day, will be (recorded) from among the inhabitants of Jannah. And whoever recites it with conviction at night and dies on that night, will be (recorded) from among the inhabitants of Jannah.? (Sah?h Bukhari #6306)

NOTE: One should take note that there are two basic requirements to achieve the complete and desired effect of these and similarly, all other wazeefas. The first being, to recite them with complete conviction (yaqeen) and confidence that whatever promises Allah Y and Nabi r have declared is undoubtedly true since the effect of ones supplications is in accordance to the level of one?s conviction on them. The second is, to give up all sins. Hazrat Moulana Hakeem Muhammad Akhtar Sahib ???? ?????? has stated in this regard that, just as it is necessary for a person to abstain from poison while taking medicine, likewise the full benefit of (these) duas will only be realized if a person abstains from sin. If perchance one does commit sin, one should immediately resort to tawbah and istighfaar. Therefore, abstention from sin is absolutely necessary.

And All?h Ta??la Knows Best
