GEO TV (Jang Group) Promotes "Bida'at (Innovation)" of Sufism.


The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), has said: "If anyone introduces into this affair of ours (i.e. the religion of Islam) anything which does not belong to it, he will have it rejected." [Reported by Muslim - Sahih]. The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), has said: "Whoever does an action which we (Allah and His Messenger) have not commanded it will be rejected." [Reported by Muslim - Sahih] - The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), has said "If somebody innovates something which is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that thing is rejected." [Bukhari]

The word “Sufism” was not known at the time of the Messenger or the Sahaabah (companions) or the Taabi’een (Companions of the Companions of the Prophet). It arose at the time when a group of ascetics who wore wool (“soof”) emerged, and this name was given to them. It was also said that the name was taken from the word “soofiya” (“sophia”) which means “wisdom” in Greek. The word is not derived from al-safa’ (“purity”) as some of them claim, because the adjective derived from safa’ is safaa’i, not soofi (sufi). The emergence of this new name and the group to whom it is applied exacerbated the divisions among Muslims.

The early Sufis differed from the later Sufis who spread bid’ah (innovation) to a greater extent and made shirk in both minor and major forms commonplace among the people, as well as the innovations against which the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned us when he said, “Beware of newly-invented things, for every newly-invented thing is an innovation and every innovation is a going-astray.” (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, who said it is saheeh hasan).

The following is a comparison between the beliefs and rituals of Sufism and Islam which is based on the Qur’aan and Sunnah.

Sufism has numerous branches or tareeqahs, such as the Naqshbandiya, Qaadriya, Chhishtiya, Saharvardiya, Shaadhiliyyah, Rifaa’iyyah, Rehmaaniya, Rizviya, Subhaniya, Gausiya, Teejaaniyah, Sanusiyyah, Sahiliyyah etc. the followers of which all claim that their particular tareeqah is on the path of truth whilst the others are following falsehood. Islam forbids such sectarianism. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):“… and be not of al-mushrikoon (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allaah, polytheists, idolaters, etc), of those who split up their religion (i.e., who left the true Islamic monotheism), and became sects, [i.e., they invented new things in the religion (bid’ah) and followed their vain desires], each sect rejoicing in that which is with it.” [al-Room 30:31-32]

The Sufis worship others than Allaah, such as Prophets and “awliya’” [“saints”], living or dead. They say, “Yaa Jeelaani”, “Yaa Rifaa’i” [calling on their awliya’], or “O Messenger of Allaah, help and save” or “O Messenger of Allaah, our dependence is on you”, etc.But Allaah forbids us to call on anyone except Him in matters that are beyond the person's capabilities. If a person does this, Allaah will count him as a mushrik, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And invoke not, besides Allaah, any that will neither profit you, nor hurt you, but if (in case) you did so, you shall certainly be one of the zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers).” [Yoonus 10:106]The Sufis believe that there are abdaal, aqtaab and awliya’ (kinds of “saints”) to whom Allaah has given the power to run the affairs of the universe. Allaah tells us about the mushrikeen (interpretation of the meaning): “Say [O Muhammad]: ‘…And who disposes the affairs?’ They will say. ‘Allaah.’…” [Yoonus 10:31]The mushrik Arabs knew more about Allaah than these Sufis!

The Sufis turn to other than Allaah when calamity strikes, but Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And if Allaah 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.” [al-An’aam 6:17]

Some Sufis believe in wahdat al-wujood (unity of existence). They do not have the idea of a Creator and His creation, instead they say that everything is creation and everything is god.

The Sufis advocate extreme asceticism in this life and do not believe in taking the necessary means or in jihaad, but Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“But seek with that (wealth) which Allaah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world…” [al-Qasas 28:77]

“And make ready against them all that you can of power…” [al-Anfaal 8:60]

The Sufis refer the idea of ihsaan to their shaykhs and tell their followers to have a picture of their shaykh in mind when they remember Allaah and even when they are praying. Some of them even put a picture of their shaykh in front of them when they are praying. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Ihsaan is when you worship Allaah as if you can see Him, and although you cannot see Him, He can see you.” (Reported by Muslim).

The Sufis allow dancing, drums and musical instruments, and raising the voice when making dhikr, but Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The believers are only those who, when Allaah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts…” [al-Anfaal 8:2]

Moreover, you see some of them making dhikr by only pronouncing the Name of Allaah, saying, “Allaah, Allaah, Allaah.” This is bid’ah and has no meaning in Islam. They even go to the extreme of saying, “Ah, ah” or “Hu, Hu.” The Sunnah is for the Muslim to remember his Lord in words that have a true meaning for which he will be rewarded, such as saying Subhaan Allaah wa Alhamdulillah wa Laa ilaaha illa Allaah wa Allaahu akbar, and so on.

The Sufis recite love poems mentioning the names of women and boys in their dhikr gatherings, and they repeat words such as “love”, “passion”, “desire” and so on, as if they are in a gathering where people dance and drink wine and clap and shout. All of this has to do with the customs and acts of worship of the mushrikeen. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Their salaah (prayer) at the House (of Allaah, i.e., the Ka’bah at Makkah) was nothing but whistling and clapping of hands…”[al-Anfaal 8:35]

Some Sufis pierce themselves with rods of iron, saying, “O my grandfather!” So the shayaateen come to them and help them, because they are seeking the help of someone other than Allaah . Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allaah), We appoint for him a shaytaan (devil) to be a qareen (intimate companion) for him.” [al-Zukhruf 43:36]

The Sufis claim to have gnosis and knowledge of the unseen, but the Qur’aan shows them to be liars. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Say: ‘None in the heavens and the earth knows the ghayb (unseen) except Allaah…’” [al-Naml 27:65]

The Sufis claim that Allaah created the world for the sake of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but the Qur’aan shows them to be liars. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56]Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, addressed His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) with the words (interpretation of the meaning):

“And worship your Lord until there comes unto the certainty (i.e., death).” [al-Hijr 15:99]

The Sufis claim that they can see Allaah in this life, but the Qur’aan shows them to be liars. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):“[Moosa said:] ‘O my Lord! Show me (Yourself), that I may look upon You.’ Allaah said, ‘You cannot see Me…’” [al-A’raaf 7:143]

The Sufis claim that they take knowledge directly from Allaah, without the mediation of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and in a conscious state (as opposed to dreams). So are they better than the Sahaabah??

The Sufis claim that they take knowledge directly from Allaah, without the mediation of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). They say, “Haddathani qalbi ‘an Rabbi (My heart told me from my Lord).”

The Sufis celebrate Mawlid and hold gatherings for sending blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), but they go against his teachings by raising their voices in dhikr and anaasheed (religious songs) and qaseedahs (poems) that contain blatant shirk. Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) celebrate his birthday? Did Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthman, ‘Ali, the four imaams or anyone else celebrate his birthday? Who knows more and is more correct in worship, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the Salaf, or the Sufis?

The Sufis travel to visit graves and seek blessings from their occupants or to make tawaaf (ritual circumambulation) around them or to make sacrifices at these sites, all of which goes against the teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “Do not travel to visit any place but three mosques: al-Masjid al-Haraam [in Makkah], this mosque of mine [in Madeenah] and al-Masjid al-Aqsa [in Jerusalem].” (Agreed upon).

The Sufis are blindly loyal to their shaykhs, even when what they go against the words of Allaah and His Messenger. But Allaah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Do not put (yourselves) forward before Allaah and His Messenger…” [al-Hujuraat 49:1]

The Sufis use talismans, letters and numbers for making decisions and for making amulets and charms and so on.

The Sufis do not restrict themselves to the specific blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that were narrated from him. They invented new formulas that involve seeking his blessings and other kinds of blatant shirk which are unacceptable to the one on whom they are sending blessings.

With regard to the question of the whether the Sufi shaykhs have some kind of contact, this is true, but their contact is with the shayaateen, not with Allaah, so they inspire one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception), as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies – shayaateen (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it…” [al-An’aam 6:112]

And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“… And, certainly, the shayaateen (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind)…” [al-An’aam 6:121]

“Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the shayaateen (devils) descend? They descend on every lying, sinful person.” [al-Shu’ara 221-222]

This is the contact that is real, not the contact that they falsely claim to have with Allaah. Exalted be Allaah far above that. (See Mu’jam al-Bida’, 346 –359).

When some of these Sufi shaykhs disappear suddenly from the sight of their followers, this is the result of their contact with the shayaateen, who may even carry them to a distant place and bring them back in the same day or night, to mislead their human followers.

So the important rule here is not to judge people by the extraordinary feats that they may do. We should judge them by how closely or otherwise they adhere to the Qur’aan and Sunnah. The true friends of Allaah (awliya’) are not necessarily known for performing astounding feats. On the contrary, they are the ones who worship Allaah in the manner that He has prescribed, and not by doing acts of bid’ah.

The true awliya’ or friends of Allaah are those whom our Lord has described in the hadeeth qudsi narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh (5/2384) from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah said, ‘Whoever shows enmity towards a friend (wali) of Mine, I declare war against him. My slave does not draw close to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties that I have enjoined on him, and My slave continues to draw close to Me with supererogatory (naafil) acts, so that I will love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.’”

And Allaah is the Source of Strength and the Guide to the Straight Path. REFERENCE: Tassawuf OR Sufism http://www.allaahuakbar.net/sufism/tassawuf.htm Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/4983/sufis

نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ تعالی عنہم اور تابعین عظام رحمہم اللہ کے دور میں صوفیت نام کی کوئ چيز نہیں پائ جاتی تھی ، حتی کہ زاھد لوگوں کا ایک گروہ پیدا ہوا جو کہ اون کے موٹے کپڑے پہنا کرتے تھے تو انہیں صوفی کے نام سے پکارا جانے لگا۔

اور یہ بھی کہا جاتا ہے کہ یہ (صوفی ) صوفیا سے ماخوذ ہے اور یونانی زبان میں اس کا معنی " حکمت " ہے نہ کہ جیسا کہ بعض یہ دعوی کرتے ہیں کہ یہ الصفاء سے ماخوذ ہے ، کیونکہ اگر الصفاء کی طرف نسبت کی جاۓ تو صفائ کہا جاۓ گا نہ کہ صوفی ۔

اس نۓ نام اور اس فرقہ نے مسلمانوں میں تفرقہ اور زیاد ہ کردیا ہے ، اور اس فرقہ کے پہلے صوفی حضرات بعد میں آنے والوں سے مختلف ہیں بعد میں آنےوالوں کے اندر بدعات کا بہت زیادہ عمل دخل ہے اور اس کے ساتھ ساتھ شرک اصغر اور شرک اکبر بھی پیدا ہو چکا ہے ، ان کی بدعات ایسی ہیں جن سے ہمارے نبی صلی اللہ علیہ و سلم نے بچنے کا حکم دیتے ہوۓ فرمایا :

( تم نۓ نۓ کا موں سے بچو کیونکہ ہر نیا کام بدعت اور ہر بدعت گمراہی ہے ) سنن ترمذی ، امام ترمذی نے اسے حسن صحیح کہاہے۔

ذیل میں ہم صوفیوں کے اعتقادات اور ان کے دینی طریقوں اور قرآن وسنت پر مبنی اسلا م کا مقارنہ اور موازنہ پیش کرتے ہیں :

صوفی حضرات : کے مختلف طریقے اور سلسلے ہیں ، مثلا تیجانیہ ، نقشبندیہ ، شاذلیہ ، قادریہ ، رفاعیہ ،اور اس کے علاوہ دوسرے سلسلے جن پر چلنے والے یہ دعوی کرتے ہیں کہ وہ ہی حق پر ہیں ان کے علاوہ کو‎ئ اور حق پر نہیں ، حالانکہ اسلام تفرقہ بازی سے منع کرتا ہے ، اسی کی طرف اشارہ کرتے ہوۓ اللہ تعالی نے فرمایا ہے :

{ اور تم مشرکوں میں سے نہ بنو ان لوگوں میں سے جنہوں نے اپنے دین کو ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کر دیا اور خود بھی گروہ گروہ ہو گۓ ، ہر گروہ اس چيز پر جو اس کے پاس ہے وہ اس میں مگن اور اس پر خوش ہے } الروم ( 31- 32 )

صوفی حضرات : نے اللہ تعالی کے علاوہ انبیاء اور اولیاء زندہ اور مردہ کی عبادت کرنی شروع کردی ، اور وہ انہیں پکارتے ہوۓ اس طرح کہتے ہیں ( یا جیلانی ، یا رفاعی ، یا رسول اللہ مدد ، اور یہ بھی کہتے ہیں ، یا رسول اللہ آپ پر ہی بھروسہ ہے ) ۔

اور اللہ تبارک وتعالی اس سے منع فرماتا ہے کہ اس کے علاوہ کسی اور کو ایسی چیز میں پکارا جاۓ جس پر وہ قادر نہیں بلکہ یہ اسے شرک شمار کیا ہے ۔

جیسا کہ اللہ تعالی کا فرمان ہے :

{ اور اللہ تعالی کو چھوڑ کر ایسی چیز کی عبادت مت کرو جو آپ کو کوئ نفع نہ دے سکے اور نہ ہی کوئ نقصان اور ضرر پنچا سکے ، پھر اگر آپ نے ایسا کیا تو تم اس حالت میں ظلم کرنے والوں میں سے ہو جاؤ گے } یونس ( 106 )

اور صوفی حضرات : کا یہ اعتقاد ہے کہ کچھ قطب اور ابدال اور اولیاء ہیں جنہیں اللہ تعالی نے معاملات اور کچھ امور سپرد کۓ ہیں جن میں وہ تصرف کر تے ہيں ۔

اوراللہ تعالی نےتو مشرکوں کے جواب کوبیان کرتے ہوۓ یہ فرمایاہے :

{ اور معاملات کی تدبیر کون کرتا ہے ؟ تو وہ ضرور یہ کہیں گے کہ اللہ تعالی ہی کرتا ہے } یونس ( 31 )

تو مشرکین عرب کو ان صوفیوں سے اللہ تعالی کی زیادہ معرفت تھی ۔

اورصوفی حضرات مصائب میں غیراللہ کی طرف جاتے اور ان سے مدد طلب کرتے ہیں ۔

لیکن اللہ تبارک وتعالی کا فرمان ہے :

{ اوراگر اللہ تعالی تجھے کوئ تکلیف پہنچاۓ تو اللہ تعالی کے علاوہ کوئ بھی اسےدور کرنے والا نہیں ، اور اگرتجھے اللہ تعالی کوئ نفع دینا چاہے تو وہ ہر چیز پر قادر ہے } الانعام ( 17 )

بعض صوفی حضرات وحدۃ الوجود کا عقیدہ رکھتے ہیں ، تو ان کے ہان خالق اور مخلوق نہیں بلکہ سب مخلوق اور سب الہ ہیں ۔

صوفی حضرات : زندگی میں زھد اور اسباب کو حاصل نہ کرنے اور جھاد کو ترک کرنے کی دعوت دیتے ہیں ۔

لیکن اللہ تبارک وتعالی کافرمان ہے :

{ اور جوکچھ اللہ تعالی نے آپ کودے رکھاہے اس میں آخرت کے گھر کی بھی تلاش رکھ ، اور اپنے دنیوی حصے کو نہ بھول } القصص (77 ) اور اللہ رب العزت کا فرمان ہے : { اور تم ان کے مقابلے کے لۓ اپنی طاقت کے مطابق قوت تیار کرو } الانفال ( 60 )

صوفی حضرات : اپنے مشائخ کو احسان کے درجہ پر فائز کرتے ہیں اور اپنے مریدوں سے ان کا مطالبہ ہوتا ہے کہ وہ اللہ تعالی کا ذکر کرتے وقت اپنے شیخ کا تصور کریں حتی کہ نماز میں بھی شیخ کا تصور ہونا چاہۓ ، حتی کہ ان میں سے بعض تونما ز پڑہتے وقت شیخ تصویر اپنے آگے رکھتے تھے ۔

حالانکہ رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا فرمان ہے : ( احسان یہ ہے کہ عبادت ایسے کرو گویا کہ اللہ تعالی کو دیکھ رہے ہو، اگر آپ اللہ تعالی کونہیں دیکھ رہے تو اللہ تعالی تمہیں دیکھ رہا ہے ) صحیح مسلم ۔

صوفی حضرات : رقص وسرور اور گانے بجانے اور موسیقی اور اونچی آواز سے ذکرکو جائز قرار دیتے ہیں ۔

اور اللہ تعالی کا فرمان تو یہ ہے کہ :

{ ایمان والے تو ایسے ہوتے ہیں کہ جب اللہ تعالی کا ذکر کیا آتا ہے تو ان کے دل دھل جاتے ہیں } الانفال ( 3 )

پھر آپ ان کو دیکھیں گے وہ صرف لفظ جلالہ ( اللہ اللہ اللہ ) کا ذکر کرتے ہیں جو کہ بدعت اور ایسی کلام ہے جو کہ شرعی معنی کے لحاظ سے غیر مفید ہے ، بلکہ وہ تو اس حد تک چلے جاتے ہیں کہ صرف ( اھ ، اھ ) اور یا پھر ( ہو ، ہو ، ہو ) کرنا شروع کردیتے ہیں ۔

اور اسلام مصادر کتاب وسنت میں تو یہ ہے کہ بندہ رب ایسے کلام سے یاد اور اس کا ذکر کرے جو کہ صحیح اور مفید ہو جس پر اسے اجروثواب سے نوازا جاۓ ، مثلا سبحان اللہ ، الحمد للہ ، لاالہ الا اللہ ، اللہ اکبر ، اوراس طرح کے دوسرے اذکار ۔

صوفی حضرات : مجالس ذکر میں عورتوں اور بچوں کے نام سے غزلیں اور اشعار گاتے اور پڑھتے ہیں اور اس میں باربار عشق و محبت اور خواہشات کی باتیں ایسے دہراتے ہیں گویا کہ وہ رقص وسرور کی مجلس میں ہوں ، اور پھر وہ مجلس کے اندر تالیوں اور چیخوں کی گونج میں شراب کا ذکر کرتے ہیں اور یہ سب کچھ مشرکین کی عادات وعبادات میں سے ہے ۔

اللہ تعالی کا اس کے متعلق فرمان ہے :

{ اور ان کی نماز کعبہ کے پاس صرف یہ تھی کہ سیٹیاں بجانا اور تالیاں بجانا } الانفال ( 35 )

مکاء سیٹی بجانا اور تصدیۃ تالی بجانے کو کہتے ہیں ۔

اور بعض صوفی اپنے آپ کو لوہے کی سیخ مارتے اور یہ پکارتے ہيں (یاجداہ) تو اس طرح شیطان آکر اس کی مدد کرتا ہے کیونکہ اس نے غیراللہ کو پکارا ، اللہ تبارک وتعالی کا فرمان ہے :

{ اور جو شخص رحمن کی یاد سے غافل ہو جاۓ ہم اس پر ایک شیطان مقرر کر دیتے ہیں وہی اس کا ساتھی رہتا ہے } الزخرف ( 36 )

صوفی حضرات : کشف اور علم غیب کا دعوی کرتے ہیں اور قرآن کریم ان کے اس دعوی کی تکذیب کرتا ہے ۔

اللہ سبحانہ وتعالی کے فرمان کا ترجمہ کچھ اس طرح ہے :

{ کہہ دیجۓ کہ آسمان وزمین والوں میں سے اللہ تعالی کے علاوہ کوئ بھی غیب کا علم نہیں جانتا } النمل ( 65 )

صوفی حضرات : کا گمان ہے کہ اللہ تعالی نے دنیا محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے لۓ پیدا کی ہے ، اور قرآن کریم ان کی تکذیب کرتے ہوۓ کہتا ہے :

{ میں نے جنوں اور انسانوں کو صرف اپنی عبادت کے لۓ پیدا کیا ہے } الذاریات ( 56 )

اور اللہ تعالی نے نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کومخاطب کرتے ہوۓ فرمایا یہ فرمایا ہے :

{ آپ اس وقت تک اپنے رب کی عبادت کرتے رہيں یہاں تک کہ آپ کو موت آجاۓ } الحجر ( 99 )

صوفی حضرات : اللہ تعالی کو دنیا میں دیکھنے کا گمان کرتے ہیں اور قرآن مجید ان کی تکذیب کرتا ہے جیسا کہ موسی علیہ السلام کی زبان سے کہا گیا { اےمیرے رب ! مجھے اپنا دیدار کردیجۓ کہ میں آپ کو ایک نظر دیکھ لوں اللہ تعالی نے ارشاد فرمایا تم مجھ کو ہر گز نہیں دیکھ سکتے } الاعراف ( 143 )

صوفی حضرات : کا گمان یہ ہے کہ وہ بیداری کی حالت میں نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے واسطہ کے بغیر علم ڈاریکٹ اللہ تعالی سے حاصل کرتے ہیں ، تو کیا وہ صحابہ کرام سے بھی افضل ہیں ؟۔

صوفی حضرات : اس بات کا دعوی کرتے ہیں کہ وہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے واسطہ کے بغیرڈاریکٹ اللہ تعالی سے علم حاصل کرتے ہیں اور کہتے ہیں : میرے دل نے میرے رب سے بیان کیا ۔

صوفی حضرات : میلاد مناتے اور نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پر درود وسلام کے نام سے مجلسیں قائم کرتے ہیں ، اور ان میں نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی تعلیمات کی مخالفت کرتے ہوۓ شرکیہ ذکر اور قصیدے اور اشعار پڑھتے ہیں جن میں صریح شرک ہوتا ہے ۔

تو کیا نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور ابوبکر ، عمر اور عثمان اور علی رضي اللہ تعالی عنہم اور آئمہ اربعہ وغیرہ نے میلاد منایا تو ان کیا ان کی عبادت اور علم زیادہ صحیح ہے یا کہ صوفیوں کا ؟

صوفی حضرات : قبروں کا طواف یا ان کا تبرک حاصل کرنے کے لۓ سفر کرتے اور ان پر جانور ذبح کرتے ہیں جوکہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے قول کی صریحا مخالفت ہے ۔ فرمان نبوی ہے :

( صرف تین مسجدوں کی طرف سفر کیا جاۓ مسجد حرام ، اور میری یہ مسجد ، اور مسجد اقصی ) صحیح بخاری و صحیح مسلم ۔

صوفی حضرات : اپنے مشائخ کے بارہ میں بہت ہی متعصب ہیں اگرچہ وہ اللہ تعالی اور رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی مخالفت ہی کیوں نہ کریں ، اور اللہ تعالی کا تو فرمان یہ ہے : { اے ایمان والو ! اللہ تعالی اور اس کے رسول سے آگے نہ بڑھو } الحجرات ( 2 )

صوفی حضرات : استخارہ کے لۓ طلسم اور حروف استعمال کرتے اور تعویذ گنڈا وغیرہ کرتے ہیں ۔

صوفی حضرات : وہ درود جو کہ نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے ثابت ہیں نہیں پڑھتے بلکہ ایسے بناوٹی درود پڑھتے ہیں جس میں صریح تبرک اور شرک پایا جاتا ہے جس پر اللہ تعالی کی رضا حاصل نہیں ہوتی ۔

اوررہا یہ سوال کہ کیا صوفیوں کے مشائخ کا رابطہ ہے تو یہ صحیح ہے ان کا رابطہ شیطان سے ہے نہ کہ اللہ تعالی سے ۔

تو وہ ایک دوسرے کے دل میں چکنی چپڑی باتوں کا وسوسہ ڈالتے ہیں تاکہ انہیں دھوکہ میں ڈالیں اللہ سبحانہ وتعالی کا فرمان ہے :

{ اور اسی طرح ہم نے ہر نبی کے دشمن بہت سے شیطان پیدا کۓ تھے کچھ آدمی اور کچھ جن ، جن میں سے بعض بعض کو چکنی چپڑي باتوں کا وسوسہ ڈالتے رہتے تھے تا کہ ان کو دھوکہ میں ڈال دیں اوراگر اللہ تعالی چاہتا تو یہ ایسے کام نہ کرتے } الانعام ( 112 )

اور اللہ تبارک وتعالی کا فرمان ہے :

{ اور بیشک شیطان اپنے دوستوں کے دلوں میں ڈالتے ہیں } الانعام (121)

اور اللہ سبحانہ وتعالی کے فرمان کا ترجمہ ہے :

{ کیا میں تمہیں بتا‎ؤں کہ شیطان کس پر اتر تے ہیں وہ ہر ایک جھوٹے گنہگار پر اترتے ہیں } الشعراء ( 221 - 222 )

تو یہ وہ حقیقی رابطہ جو ان کے درمیا ن ہوتا ہے نہ کہ وہ رابطہ جو وہ گمان کرتے ہیں کہ اللہ تعالی سے رابطہ جو کہ بہتان اور جھوٹ ہے اور اللہ تعالی اس سے منزہ اور بلند وبالا ہے ۔ دیکھیں معجم البدع ( 346 - 359 )

اور صوفیوں کے بعض مشائخ کا اپنے مریدوں کی نظروں سے اوجھل ہونا بھی اسی رابطہ کا نتیجہ ہے جو کہ شیطان کے ساتھ ہوتا ہے ، حتی کہ بعض اوقات وہ شیطان انہیں دور دراز جگہ پر لے جاتے ہیں اور پھر اسی دن یا رات کو واپس لے آتے ہیں تا کہ ان کے مریدوں کو گمراہ کیا جاسکے ۔

تواسی لۓ یہ عظیم قاعدہ ہے کہ ہم خارق عادات کاموں سے اشخاص کا وزن نہیں کرتے بلکہ ان کا وزن کتاب وسنت کے قرب اور اس پر التزام کرنے کے ساتھ ہوگا ، اور اللہ تعالی کے اولیاء کے لۓ یہ شرط نہیں کہ ان کے ھاتھ پر خارق عادت کام ہو بلکہ وہ تو اللہ تعالی کی عبادت اس طریقے پر کرتے ہیں جو کہ مشروع ہے نہ کہ بدعات کو رواج دے کر ۔

اولیاء اللہ تو وہ ہیں جو کہ حدیث قدسی میں ذکر کۓ گۓ ہیں جسے امام بخاری رحمہ اللہ تعالی نے روایت کیا ہے ۔

ابو ھریرہ رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ بیان کرتےہیں کہ رسول اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : یقینا اللہ تعالی نے فرمایا ہے : ( جس نے میرے ولی سے دشمنی کی میری اس کے ساتھ جنگ ہے اور جو میرا بندا کسی چيز کے ساتھ میرا قرب حاصل کرتا ہے تو وہ مجھے اس چيزسے زیادہ پسند ہے جو میں نے اس پر فرض کیا ہے اور جو بندہ نوافل کے ساتھ میرا قرب حاصل کرتا ہے تو میں اسے اپنا محبوب بنا لیتا ہوں اور جب میں اس سے محبت کرنے لگتا ہو ں تو اس کا کان ہوتا ہوں جس سے وہ سنتا اور اس کی بصر ہوتا ہوں جس سے وہ دیکھتا اور اس کا ھاتھ ہوتا ہوں جس سے وہ پکڑتا اور اس کی ٹانگ ہو تا ہوں جس سے وہ چلتا ہے ، اگر وہ مجھ سے سوال کرتا ہے تو میں اسے عطا کرتا ہوں اور اگر میری پناہ میں آتا ہے تو میں اسے پناہ دیتاہوں ) ۔

اور اللہ تبارک وتعالی توفیق بخشنے والا اور صحیح راہ پر چلانے والا ہے ۔

واللہ تعالی اعلم

لم يعرف الإسلام اسم الصوفية في زمن الرسول وصحابته والتابعين حتى جاء جماعة من الزهاد لبسوا الصوف فأطلقوا هذا الاسم عليهم ، وقيل مأخوذ من كلمة صوفيا ومعناها الحكمة باليونانية وليست مأخوذة من الصفاء كما يدعي بعضهم لأن النسبة إلى الصفاء صفائي وليست صوفي .
وظهور هذا الاسم الجديد والطائفة التي تحمله زاد الفرقة في المسلمين ، وقد اختلف الصوفية الأوائل عن الصوفية المتأخرة التي انتشرت فيها البدع بشكل أكبر وعمّ فيهم الشرك الأصغر والأكبر وبدعهم مما حذرنا منه الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم بقوله : " إياكم ومحدثات الأمور فإن كل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ضلالة. رواه الترمذي وقال حسن صحيح
وفيما يلي مقارنة بين معتقدات الصوفية وطقوسها وبين الإسلام المبني على القرآن والسنّة :
الصوفية : لها طرق متعددة كالتيجانية والقادرية والنقشبندية والشاذلية والرفاعية وغيرها من الطرق التي يدعي أصحابه أنهم على الحق وغيرهم على الباطل والإسلام ينهى عن التفرق ويقول الله تعالى { ...ولا تكونوا من المشركين (31) من الذين فرّقوا دينهم وكانوا شيعاً كل حزب بما لديهم فرحون } ( سورة الروم الآيات 31-32).
الصوفية : عبدوا غير الله من الأنبياء والأولياء الأحياء والأموات فهم يقولون ( يا جيلاني ويا رفاعي ويا رسول الله غوثاً ومدد ، ويا رسول الله عليك المعتمد ) .
والله ينهى عن دعاء غيره فيما لا يقدر عليه إلا هو ويعدّه شركاً إذ يقول { ولا تدع من دون الله ما لا ينفعك ولا يضرك فإن فعلت فإنك من الظالمين } سورة يونس ،آية 106 .
الصوفية : تعتقد أن هناك أبدالاً وأقطاباً وأولياء سلّم الله لهم تصريف الأمور وتدبيرها والله يحكي جواب المشركين حين يسألهم :{ ومن يدبر الأمر فسيقولون الله } سورة يونس : 31 . فمشركو العرب أعرف بالله من هؤلاء الصوفية .
والصوفية يلجأون لغير الله عند نزول المصائب والله يقول : { وإن يمسسك الله بضر فلا كاشف له إلا هو وإن يمسسك بخير فهو على كل شيء قدير } .
بعض الصوفية : يعتقد بوحدة الوجود فليس عندهم خالق ومخلوق فالكل خلق والكل إله .
الصوفية : تدعو إلى الزهد في الحياة وترك الأخذ بالأسباب وعدم الجهاد والله تعالى يقول { وابتغ فيما آتاك الله الدار الآخرة ولا تنس نصيبك من الدنيا } ( سورة القصص ،آية 77).
{ وأعدوا لهم ما استطعتم من قوة } ( سورة الأنفال ،آية 60) .
الصوفية : تعطي مرتبة الإحسان إلى شيوخهم وتطلب من المريدين أن يتصورا شيخهم عندما يذكرون الله حتى في صلاتهم وكان بعضهم يضع صورة شيخه أمامه في الصلاة والرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول : الإحسان أن تعبد الله كأنك تراه فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك ". رواه مسلم .
الصوفية : تبيح الرقص والدف والمعازف ورفع الصوت بالذكر والله تعالى يقول { إنما المؤمنون الذين إذا ذكر الله وجلت قلوبهم } ( سورة الأنفال ، آية 3 ) .
ثم تراهم يذكرون بلفظ الجلالة : الله فقط فيقولون الله ، الله ، الله وهذه بدعة وكلام غير مفيد لمعنى شرعي بل يصلون إلى حدّ التلفظ بكلمة ( أهـ ، أهـ ) . أو هو ، هو . والإسلام والسنة أن يذكر المسلم ربّه بكلام مفيد صحيح يُؤجر عليه كقوله : سبحان الله والحمد له ولا إله إلا الله والله أكبر ونحو ذلك .
الصوفية تتغزل باسم النساء والصبيان في مجالس الذكر فيرددون اسم الحب والعشق والهوى وغيرها وكأنهم في مجلس طرب فيه الرقص وذكر الخمر مع التصفيق والصياح وكلّ هذا من عادة المشركين وعبادتهم قال الله تعالى : { وما كان صلاتهم عند البيت إلا مكاء وتصدية } سورة الأنفال آية 35 .( المكاء : الصفير ، والتصدية : التصفيق ) .
بعض الصوفية يضرب نفسه بسيخ حديد قائلاً ( يا جداه ) فتأتيه الشياطين ليساعدوه على فعله لأنه استغاث بغير الله ، قال الله تعالى : { ومن يعش عن ذكر الرحمن نقيض له شيطاناً فهو له قرين } سورة الزخرف ، آية 36 .
الصوفية : تدعي الكشف وعلم الغيب والقرآن يكذبهم : قال عزّ وجلّ : { قل لا يعلم من في السماوات والأرض الغيب إلا الله } . ( سورة النمل آية 65 ) .
الصوفية : تزعم أن الله خلق الدنيا لأجل محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم والقرآن يكذبهم قائلاً { وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون } (سورة الذرايات آية 56) .
وخاطب الله سبحانه الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم بقوله { واعبد ربك حتى يأتيك اليقين } سورة الحجر آية 99).
الصوفية : تزعم رؤية الله في الدنيا والقرآن يكذبهم حين قال على لسان موسى :{ رب أرني أنظر إليك قال لن تراني } (سورة الأعراف ، آية 143) .
الصوفية : تزعم أنها تأخذ العلم من الله مباشرة بدون واسطة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم يقظة فهل هم أفضل من الصحابة ؟
الصوفية : تزعم أنها تأخذ العلم من الله مباشرة بدون واسطة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم فيقولون : حدثني قلبي عن ربي .
الصوفية : تقيم الموالد والاجتماع باسم مجلس الصلاة على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهم يخالفون تعاليمه حينما يرفعون أصواتهم في الذكر والأناشيد والقصائد التي فيها الشرك الصريح . وهل احتفل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بمولده أو أبو بكر وعمر وعثمان وعليّ والأئمة الأربعة وغيرهم فمن أعلم وأصحّ عبادة هؤلاء أم الصوفية .
الصوفية : تشد الرحال إلى القبور للتبرك بأهلها أو للطواف حولها أو الذبح عندها مخالفين قول الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم : " لا تشد الرحال إلا إلى ثلاثة مساجد المسجد الحرام ومسجدي هذا والمسجد الأقصى " متفق عليه .
الصوفية : تتعصب لشيوخها ولو خالفت قول الله ورسوله ، والله تعالى يقول : { يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تقدموا بين يدي الله ورسوله } سورة الحجرات آية 1 .
الصوفية : تستعمل الطلاسم والحروف والأرقام لعمل الاستخارة والتمائم والحجب وغير ذلك .
الصوفية : لا تتقيد بالصلوات الواردة عن الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم بل يبتدعون صلوات فيها التبرك الصريح والشّرك الفظيع الذي لا يرضاه الذي يصلون عليه .
أما السؤال عن صحة اتصال مشايخ الصوفية فهي صحيحة لكنها مع الشياطين وليس مع الله
فيوحي بعضهم إلى بعض زخرف القول غرورا قال تعالى : { وكذلك جعلنا لكل نبي عدوّاً شياطين الإنس والجن يوحي بعضهم إلى بعض زخرف القول غرورا ولو شاء ربك ما فعلوه } الأنعام (112) . وقال تعالى : { وإن الشياطين ليوحون إلى أوليائهم } الأنعام /121) .
وقال تعالى : { هل أنبئكم على من تنزل الشياطين تنزل على كل أفاك أثيم ) الشعراء 121/222) . فهذا هو الاتصال الذي يحدث حقيقة ، لا الاتصال الذين يزعمونه زوراً وبهتاناً من اتصالهم بالله ، تعالى الله عن ذلك علواً كبيرا ، يُنظر معجم البدع : 346- 359
واختفاء بعض مشايخ الصوفية فجأة عن أنظار أتباعهم هو نتيجة لهذا الاتّصال مع الشياطين حتى لربما حملوهم إلى أماكن بعيدة وعادوا بهم في اليوم نفسه أو الليلة نفسها إضلالا للبشر من أتْباعهم .
ولذلك كانت القاعدة العظيمة أننا لا نزن الأشخاص بالخوارق التي تظهر على أيديهم وإنما بحسب بعدهم وقربهم والتزامهم بالكتاب والسنّة ، وأولياء الله حقّا لا يُشترط أن تظهر لهم خوارق بل هم الذين يعبدون الله بما شرع ولا يعبدونه بالبدع ، أولياء الله الذين ذكرهم ربنا في الحديث القدسي الذي رواه البخاري في الصحيح 5/2384 عن أبي هريرة قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : " إن الله قال من عادى لي وليا فقد آذنته بالحرب وما تقرب إلي عبدي بشيء أحب إلي مما افترضت عليه وما يزال عبدي يتقرب إلي بالنوافل حتى أحبه فإذا أحببته كنت سمعه الذي يسمع به وبصره الذي يبصر به ويده التي يبطش بها ورجله التي يمشي بها وإن سألني لأعطينه ولئن استعاذني لأعيذنه " . والله الموفق والهادي إلى طريق الصّواب .

Black Magic through Holy Quran!


I have tried to compile a book [now published and available in the market http://www.scribd.com/doc/85706333/Misuse-of-Holy-Quran-for-Black-Magic-Muhammad-Aamir-Mughal and Translation in Sindhi Language is also being done] on the use of Holy Quran in Evil Occult Sciences and Black Magic by Leading Deobandi/Barelvi Scholars of Indian and Pakistan. These Mullahs often raise hell for Blasphemy and Blasphemy Law, now read as to how these very Mullahs used Quran and Quranic Verses in a most blasphemous way. Criticism would be appreciated.




Both the Deobandis and Barelvis had opposed any kind of western education for Muslims in the Indian Sub Continent but they never opposed [which as per even the literal interpretation of Quran and Hadith was Kufr] this kind of education in the madressahs and even in 2010 this joke is going on right under the nose of Taqi Usmani and Daarul Ishaat and yet these Mullahs have the audacity to declare anybody apostate and death deserving - see the Original Manuscript of the book Shamsul Muarif [a rare copy is preserved in Paris Museum and Western Scholars have declared that Buni was magician but Our Mullah???] - My book is about this: Demise of Common Sense: read more rather watch more https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQA0WGZFNifQQxx8EMHcRI5HuwqKQScpwW-kI_OzvY2aanmYFJVpVJaPx86vGt4_ZB4AdNycCXXYD3twDm7DEaIk1-ksLtMY_Ya0YC5ftM6TK9bHMW5u9oTA4V0YFRQgCaefmjnlv8fhQ/










The major book in the book above is a book of Sorcery and Magic [a very rare book in Arabic translated (during General Zia tenure) by a Madressah which is a known anarchist in Pakistan] and I always question Mullahs on their own grounds. To know thy enemy you must read their books to answer them. A rare manuscript of the book which i discussed in my book above [a manuscript is also found in a museum of Paris, France] This is the kind of Knowledge [Deobandis and Barelvis] are trying to thrust down the throats of Pakistanis [instead of Proper Education of Science and Basic Health Facilities] read and lament: Buni - Shams al-Ma'arif al-Kubra http://www.antiochgate.com/9_buni_shams.htm

Now read what the Great Hakeem ul Ummat i.e. Medicine Man "Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanvi was trying to teach the "Ummah" - this is also discussed in the book above. Take the right arm of a goat after Friday prayers. Be completely naked. Write Sura Yasin and the name of the person you want, and then put the meat in the cooking pot. That person will fall in love with you. (Monthly "Khalid" Deoband Darul Uloom)

If you want to kill your enemy write A to T on a piece of bread. Recite Surah "RA'AD.” Break the bread into five pieces and feed them to five dogs. Say to dogs, 'Eat the flesh of my enemy'. By the will of Allaah your enemy will have huge boils on his body. (Darul uloom Deoband "Khalid")

Say "Fazabooha" before you cut a melon, or any thing else (for that matter), you will find it sweet. (Aamale-Qurani, Ashraf Ali Thanwi)

Worst kind of Blasphemy against Quran: Recite the verse "When the heaven will split.” Write it (on a piece of paper) and tie to the left thigh of any woman in labor, child birth will become easy. Cut the hair of that woman and burn those between her thighs, childbirth will be easier still. (Aamal-e-Qurani, Ashraf Ali Thanwi)

Black Magic/Sorcery as per Islam? Mullahs issue Fatwa of Murder from Pulpit whereas practicing Magic is punishable by Death in Islam. I wonder have you read Deobandi's Magic Books e.g. Aaml-e-Qurani/Beheshti Zewar, Maktoobat-e-Biyaz Yaqoobi etc. or Barelvi Magic Book name Shama Shabistan-e-Raza by Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi.

I wont quote Fatwa of Mullahs but commandment from Prophet Mohammad [PBUH] “The hadd (prescribed punishment) for the practitioner of magic is a blow with the sword (i.e., execution).” REFERENCE: (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1460; al-Daaraqutni, 3/114; al-Haakim, 4/360; al-Bayhaqi, 8/136;]

Now please go through the short biography and documentary of Notorious Black Magician and Satanist, Aleister Crowley and compare him with what is going in Pakistan in the name of Spirituality and Sufiism.

In 1909 Crowley began to explore levels of the astral plane with his assistant, a poet called “Victor Neuberg”; they used 'Enochian' magic. Crowley believed he crossed the Abyss and united his consciousness with the universal consciousness. He describes the astral journeys in “The Vision and the Voice”, which was first published in his periodical “The Equinox” and then posthumously in 1949. Never far from controversy in 1909 through to 1913, Crowley serialized the secret rituals of the Golden Dawn in his magazine 'the Equinox', which he also used as vehicle for his poetry. Mathers who had written most of the rituals and who was still his greatest antagonist, tried but failed to get a legal injunction to stop him. His action only served to gained Crowley more press publicity and notoriety. By now Crowley was fast becoming infamous as a Black magician and Satanist, he openly identified himself with the number 666, the biblical number for the antichrist. He also kept with him a series of 'Scarlet Women'; the best known of these was Leah Hirsig, the so-called “Ape of Thoth”. Together they would indulge in drinking sessions, drugs and sexual magic. It is believed that Crowley made several attempts with several of these women to beget a 'Magical child', none of which worked and instead he fictionalized his attempts in a book called “Moonchild”, published in 1929.

In this age and in Scientific and Nuclear Nation: A quack [Faith Healer killed one person in Sadiqabad, Punjab]: Saturday, July 10, 2010, Rajab 27, 1431 A.H http://www.jang.com.pk/jang/jul2010-daily/10-07-2010/u37805.htm


KASUR, March 7: A fake peer (faith healer) allegedly raped a childless married woman on Wednesday when she went to him to seek his blessing for fertility at Kanganpur. Aslam, of Kotha Kala village, told police that his wife had no child after more than five years of their marriage. She went to one Qari Sarfraz Ahmed along with her husband to get a taveez (amulet), which, she hoped, would make her fertile. Qari Sarfraz allegedly raped the woman. She raised hue and cry, inviting the attention of Aslam who was sitting outside the peer’s room. The accused managed to escape immediately after the incident. Police were investigating after registering a case. REFERENCE: Faith healer rapes woman By Our Correspondent March 08, 2007 Thursday Safar 18, 1428 http://www.dawn.com/2007/03/08/nat12.htm

KARACHI, July 7: The Korangi police on Wednesday arrested a so-called faith healer and his aide for allegedly burning a young woman’s face in an attempt “to exorcise an evil spirit from her”, officials said. They said Munawwar Ali and his assistant Khalid were arrested in a Korangi 2 locality after an FIR was lodged against them for causing burn wounds on 28-year-old Naushaba on Monday evening. “The family of the victim approached the police station on Tuesday,” said Inspector Shakir Ali, the SHO of the Korangi police station. “The woman is already in the burns centre of the Civil Hospital Karachi, where we took her statement, and she narrated her ordeal to us. Initial findings determined the role of Munawwar and his aide in her injuries.”

According to the FIR (189/2010) lodged against the two suspects under Sections 109 (punishment of abetment if the Act abetted committed in consequence), 324 (attempted murder), 419 (punishment for cheating by personation), 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and 34 (common intention) of the Pakistan Penal Code, the woman accompanied by her mother had been visiting the ‘exorcist’ for the last one week. “The family had paid Rs10,000 to Munawwar to treat the woman, who they believed was under the influence of an evil spirit. On Monday evening — the last day of her treatment — she was forced to put her face into a fire that left her seriously injured,” said an official at the Korangi police station. He said the woman told the police that when she resisted, Munawwar and Khalid tied her legs and hands with ropes and repeated their exercise that made her unconscious. An official at the burns centre said the woman received three per cent burns on the face.

What Islam says?















وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ

And (remember) when Luqman said unto his son, when he was exhorting him: O my dear son! Ascribe no partners unto Allah. Lo! to ascribe partners (unto Him) is a tremendous wrong [LUQMAN (LUQMAN) Chapter 31 - Verse 13]

Zaynab, the wife of `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud, reported that `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: “Spells, amulets and love-charms are (forms of) shirk.” (Reported by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah)

إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاء وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللّهِ فَقَدِ افْتَرَى إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا

Lo! Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him. He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners to Allah, he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin. [AN-NISA (WOMEN) Chapter 4 - Verse 48]

The Prophet Mohammad (sallallahu alaihe wa-sallam) said: "Whoever wears an amulet has committed Shirk." [Musnad Ahmad]

وَاللَّهُ يَقْضِي بِالْحَقِّ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَيْءٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

Allah judgeth with truth, while those to whom they cry instead of Him judge not at all. Lo! Allah, He is the Hearer, the Seer. [AL-GHAFIR (THE FORGIVER (GOD) ) Chapter 40 - Verse 20]

It was narrated from ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir al-Juhani (may Allaah be pleased with him) that some people came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he accepted the oath of allegiance from nine of them and not from one man. They said: O Messenger of Allaah, you accepted the allegiance of nine and not from one. He said: “He is wearing an amulet.” So he put his hand in (his garment) and broke it, then he accepted his oath of allegiance and said: “Whoever wears an amulet has associated others with Allaah (shirk).” Narrated by Ahmad classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah .

Ahmad (17440) also narrated that ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever wears an amulet, may Allaah never fulfil his wish and whoever wears a seashell, may Allaah never protect him from what he fears.” This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Arna’oot in his commentary on al-Musnad.

Al-Khattaabi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Amulets were things that they used to wear in the belief that they could ward off calamity.

Al-Baghawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The Arabs used to put amulets on their children to protect them against the evil eye, or so they claimed. This was declared invalid by sharee’ah. Al-Ta’reefaat al-I’tiqaadiyyah, p. 121.

The correct scholarly view is that amulets are forbidden even if they are composed of words from the Qur’aan. As for those that contain unknown letters and words, there is no difference of opinion.

It was narrated that ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever wears an amulet, may Allaah not fulfil his need, and whoever wears a sea-shell, may Allaah not give him peace.” [Musnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal]

It was narrated from ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir al-Juhani that a group came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) [to swear their allegiance (bay’ah) to him]. He accepted the bay’ah of nine of them but not of one of them. They said, “O Messenger of Allaah, you accepted the bay’ah of nine but not of this one.” He said, “He is wearing an amulet.” The man put his hand (in his shirt) and took it off, then he (the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) accepted his bay’ah. He said, ‘Whoever wears an amulet has committed shirk.”

(Narrated by Ahmad)

This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah.

Amulets (tameemah, pl. tamaa’im) are things made from pearls or bones that are worn on the necks of children or adults, or are hung up in houses or cars, in order to ward off evil – especially the evil eye – or to bring some benefits.

These are the comments of the scholars on the various kinds of amulets and the rulings on each kind. These comments contain important and useful points.

Abu Dawood narrated that ‘Eesa ibn Hamzah said: “I entered upon ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Akeem and his face was red due to high fever. I said, ‘Why don’t you hang up an amulet?’ He said, ‘We seek refuge with Allaah from that. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever hangs up anything will be entrusted to its care…”’”

Without doubt one of the major causes for people splitting up the religion and leaving holding on to the rope of Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) is shirk. This is the grave sin of ascribing partners with Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) in worship. Today throughout the world there are numerous examples of shirk amongst the Ummah Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) says:

وَلاَ تَدْعُ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مَا لاَ يَنفَعُكَ وَلاَ يَضُرُّكَ فَإِن فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا مِّنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

And cry not, beside Allah, unto that which cannot profit thee nor hurt thee, for if thou didst so then wert thou of the wrong-doers. [YUNUS (JONAH) Chapter 10 - Verse 106]

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me. [ADH-DHARIYAT (THE WINNOWING WINDS) Chapter 51 - Verse 56]

So the one who gives worship to other than Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) has he not committed the most severe sin. Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) says:

إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاء وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِاللّهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلاَلاً بَعِيدًا

Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto Him. He pardoneth all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray. [AN-NISA (WOMEN) Chapter 4 - Verse 116]

It is reported that Ibn Masood (radhi-Allaahu 'anhu) asked the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam):

"Which is the Greatest sin?" The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said: "That you set up a rival for Allah, While He is the one who created you." [Bukhaaree]

How can unity be achieved amongst the Muslims when some Muslims cannot unify their worship for Allah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) alone? O noble reader consider the following, how many Muslims:

Wear Amulets and charms, despite the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) saying:

"Whoever wears an amulet has committed shirk." [Ahmad]

Read astrology in magazines or go to fortune tellers, despite the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) saying:

"Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him something and believes in his words, will have his prayers rejected for forty days." [Muslim]

So while all these non-Islaamic beliefs and practices are present amongst the Muslims how can unity take place?

Prophet Mohammad [PBUH] said: Verily my Ummah, will not agree on error and the hand of Allah is upon the community; he who sets himself apart from it will be set apart in Hell Fire. [Tirmidhi, Mustadrak Al Hakim, and Mishkatul Masabeh]

Is not our first obligation to give da'wah to those Muslims who are stooped in these practices? Thereby calling to tawheed [Monotheism] as all 124,000 Prophets from Aadam (PBUH) to the Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) did. They all began their call to the people with Tawheed - worshipping Allah ALONE.

Late. Abu Zahra Misri [Egyptian Scholar], way back in 50s had written a book [Translated by Raees Ahmed Jaferi Nadvi - Published by Sheikh Ghulam Ali and Sons - Karachi] on the life and work of Hazrat Imam Jafer Sadiq [May Allah have mercy on his soul], Abu Zahra Misri had discussed in detail, this so-called Shia Science of Numerology and he by quoting several leading Shia Scholars proved that this very “Evil Science of Numerology” is wrongly attributed to the great Hazrat Jafer Sadiq [May Allah have mercy on his soul] because Jafer was a great Fiqh and Scholar and this science if full of polytheism. He further wrote that one Haroon Bin Saeed Ajli invented this Science and attributed and mixed it with the genuine work of Hazrat Jafer Sadiq. Ibn-e-Khaldun in his Muqqaddama Ibn Khaldun had also confirmed these Facts centuries ago that this Science has nothing to do with Hazrat Jafer Sadiq [May Allah have mercy on his soul].

Background of Numerology [Ilmul Abjad or Ilmul Aadaad - Kufr and Shirk - Disbelief and Polytheism] and why these Sciences are Unlawful, Forbidden and Haram in Islam, read after reading about Numerology [Ilmul Abjad or Ilmul Aadaad]

The Ilm of Astrology

Let it be clear that, out of those Alloom (plural of ilm) which provide the information regarding the future and the past, the ilm of astrology is the oldest. First, for the reason of sacredness, it is not acceptable; secondly, it is a branch of mathematics and for this reason one needs to work very hard in this field. For most, it is not only difficult, but also almost impossible.

In India, generally, the Brahmins have learned a few Asloaks (rules) and have tried to become Jotish (fortunetellers) and have brought a bad name to Jotish. Even if they master the Jotish, more often than not what they say turns out to be wrong, because the foundation upon which they laid their Jotish has long since rotted.

Between now and then there have been many changes in the Solar system. For example, in the olden days, the point of balance of Rabbei (a rabbah means square) was in first degree of Aries, and the entrance of the Sun into this point, called Nau-Rose (the new day), was on the 21st of March. Now the Sun enters Aries on the 13th or 14th of April, but comes to the point of normality or balance on the 21st of March. This is the day when night and day are of the same quantity in time.

From this, it is quite obvious that due to the changes in the Solar system, the point of balance has moved from the first degree of Aries to eight or nine degrees of Pisces. This is explained only to justify the above statement. I could give many logical reasons, but it would only lengthen the subject.

The Ilm-e-Rummal

The second oldest ilm is Ilm-e-Rummal (geomancy)which has been related to many Prophets, especially Prophet Adam, Prophet Idris and Prophet Daniel (peace be upon them).

This ilm requires the same principles as mentioned earlier for the sake of piousness. But the use of this ilm has been discouraged unless and until it is absolutely necessary. This is advised in many books of Hadiths and others. My deceased father wrote a detailed book on the subject, named the Ketab Aitamad-ul-Rummal.

If this ilm is used without necessity, it will be of no use, like other books of fortune telling. And even though one has very deeply and carefully studied the drawings of all the sixteen types of horoscopes (geomantic figures), many times he will make mistakes and it will bring him nothing but embarrassment.

The Ilm of Mesmerism

The third oldest ilm is of Mesmerism(Hypno¬tism), which is that, in the state of relaxation, one concentrates the Soul towards a special matter and things begin to clear up. There are two different kinds: in the first, one will take the subject into a trance and with his spiritual power make the subject unconscious and then question him or her. In the second kind, one will concentrate through his soul to find out the required matter. This really requires concentration and meditation, which eventually will be a hindrance in remembering and praying to Allah. Like other Alloom, it has human errors. It is very easy to make mistakes. My father wrote a nice book on the subject, called Khuab-e-Maqnatees (Dream of magnetism).

Power of imagination is a must for these ilm. This is also known as Makkashaffa. Whatever comes in light from these three Alloom are not trust¬worthy, due to human error. Sometimes one may find out something unwanted that may cause embarrassment or something that one may not be able to control.

The Ilm-ul-Jaffer

Therefore ilm-ul-Jaffer is the only ilm that not only provides the information of past and future, but also is not a hindrance to prayers, because by ilm-ul-Jaffer itself is a prayer. This, unlike evil (black) magic, does not harm the performer. If one makes a mistake, the result will still be good, though of a lesser intensity. Done in any way, the outcome is beneficial. The effects of this ilm, whether performed correctly or wrongly, begin to show within four weeks, which is the time limit for the results for this ilm. If the Saturn square has more Fire Alphabets, then the results should be expected in the first week. If Air Alphabets are more in number, then in two weeks, Water in three and Earth in four weeks. The explanation of Haroof (alphabets) will follow in the next chapters.

The Alphabets of Ilm-ul-Jáffár

In this ilm, the most important thing is to understand the rules of Haroof-e-Basta (opened alphabets) and their use. There is no doubt that Ilm-ul- Jaffer is a Lunar book and has a complete relationship with affairs of the Moon. In the same way that the Moon has 28 stages that translate into 28 Alphabets. And in the same way that the orbit of the Moon is divided into 360 degrees, so the Qawaid-e-Basta Haroof (the rules of opened alphabets) are 360. That is why, when the Moon is conjunct the Sun or is in the sign of Scorpio or in any other way in fall or inimical, it is forbidden to write it.

In ilm-ul-Jffer, the term “Qawaid-e-Basta and Haroof-e-Basta” means “to make an alphabet from another alphabet.” In all the books it has been agreed that there are only 360 Qawaid-e-Basta. But not one book has mentioned more than a few ordinary Qawaid. In reality, this ilm is an ocean, where every one has tried his best and written according to his findings. But they did a wise thing by taking it from hearts to books. I am also doing the same and will write down what ever I got from the ancestors, so that one can benefit from it. But one must look to the spirits of the purest Imams, so that he can enlighten his heart with the blessings of Allah.

The first Abjad is Abjad-e-Jammal Kabbir, which has eight words. The first word Abjad consists of four letter. The second word is Hawwadh, which has three letter. Third is the three letter word Hutti. The fourth is the four letter Kaleman. Fifth is the four letter S’fas. Sixth is the four letter Qarashat. The seventh is the three letter Thakhk¬haz and the eighth is the three letter Dazagh.

First Abjad - Abjad-e-Jammal Kabbir



First Abjad - Abjad-e-Jammal Kabbir

The letters of all eight words and their numerical values are as follows:




The ilm of numerology depends upon this Abjad, and because of this, all the present, past and future work is done.

Second Abjad- Asbat - Haroof-e-Tahhaggi

The second Abjad is Asbat, which is known as Haroof-e-Tahhaggi, and is taught in the common rules of interpretation of Haroof.


In Abjad-e-Jamal (Camel, big) Kabir (great) the top in sequence are those numbers which are known as numbers of status or honor or hidden numbers. In subordination to these are real numbers and are related to Jamal-e-Kabir numbers. Both are used in this Jim, and in certain circumstances the Hon¬ored numbers are taken from the second Abjad, namely Asbat. It will be stated later. These are said to be the oldest words, meaning that, these are found in the oldest sayings. With regard to pronunciation and the number of the Moon’s stages, these are twenty-eight in total. And the above-mentioned eight words are the names of Allah. And their pronunciation and the way of writing them is the oldest. First these were written in Suriani and then in Hebrew language, then in Arabic and Persian language.

Relationship to Haroof-e-Abjad

It is a must that the Aamil (the performer/doer) of Jaffer and Takseer (The method of breaking the alphabets and changing their values), before starting an Ammal (the doing of the work) or the writing of a consent or a Taweez (writing the values in certain mathematical form to increase the power, such squares, rectangle etc., should pay the Zakaat, otherwise it will not work. Or in Azeemat Khawani (reading/recitation of holy verses ) it may reverse the effects.

The easy way to pay Zakaat is as follows: The first thing is to follow the cleanliness conditions explained earlier. The second is to consider the dignity and the exaltation of the planet. It should in no way be inimical or in fall. So must the Aamil start the Ammal for the Zakaat in the moment of the dignity of the planet. The Aamil should read every day, four thousand, four hundred and forty four times [4,444] every alphabet for twenty-eight days continously.

The Aamil should wear non-alcoholic perfume (s) specifically related to the said Planet. If the alpha¬bet is Fire, then he should burn the Baghure (a perfume seed which, when burned, gives out perfumed smoke) related to the Fire planet. and so on, respectively. It must remain so throughout the Ammal.

The meaning of the 8 names of Allah are:


Their letters are divided in the following way:

1. First seven are Fire

2. Second seven are Air

3. Third seven are Water

4. Fourth seven are Earth

For the Fire alphabet he should face East and keep the Baghure burner pot near him, with fire in it. If he writes the alphabets then he should burn them in a fire of berry tree wood (a special berry tree found in the Middle East and South Asia).
For the Air alphabet he should face West and sit at a higher elevation, where air can blow around him. If he writes the alphabet, then he should hang this writing on a tree.
For the Water alphabet he should sit near Water. If this is not possible then he should keep a pot of water near him and face North. He should put his writing in water, like a river, a pond or a well.
For Earth he should face South and sit on clean earth (soil). If he writes it, he should then bury it in the earth or soil. The same rules apply for the writing or reading of Azeemat and Taweez. Other¬wise the whole Ammal will not bear fruit.



(In Astrology the status of the Earth element is over the Water element. Whereas in ilm-ul-Jaffer it is the other way around.)





The Taweez of the Nine box Square:


Since I mentioned Taweez, it seems reasonable that I, in this respect, write briefly on this too. So let it be clear that when one has to write a Taweez of Names of Allah or Azeemat (holy verses), then he should take the numbers of it, according to Jamal Kabir, and then subtract twelve out of it. If the remainder is divisible by three, then it will be correct to write a Taweez, otherwise it will not work. What you get after the division by three is your starting number. From there you increase respectively.

Since there are nine boxes in a square, we need nine numbers, which will be as follows:

In Example 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 8 and 9.

In Example 2: 8,9,10,11,12,13,14, 15, and 16

The method to place them in the square is as follows -- Whatever the Name of Allah or Azee¬mat you are writing, you must consider the pre¬dominant element of the letters. For example, if the name or Azeemat has mostly Fire letters, then you must write the first number in the middle box of the top line of the square. If it has mostly Air letters, then start with the middle box of the right line of the square. Earth will go to the bottom line and Water to the left of the square in the same way.

The next number has to follow the sequence in following way. And this is in the manner of chess play. After the first number, move like a knight to two and a half boxes and the third will move like a knight again. Then fourth will move like a rook to the next box. Then write the fifth with the move of bishop, and the sixth with the same move. Again with the move of a rook write the seventh. Again like a knight write eight. Then again like a knight for the ninth. Make sure that all the lines of the square, including the diagonals, add up to the number fifteen.




Relationship to Haroof-e-Abjad

The Taweez of a Sixteen box Square:


The method for this is to take the total numbers of the Azeemat or name of Allah and add them up. Then subtract thirty out of it and divide the re¬mainder by four. If the remainder is divisible by four then the obtained number is written in, according to element, in the particular box. Pro¬ceed as follows:

The second will move as knight to two and a half boxes. The third will go as bishop, fourth as knight, fifth as rook, sixth as knight, seventh as bishop, eighth as knight, ninth as


Example 1 --

Evenly divided number (no remainder)

Total number of Haroof = 34

Subtracting 30 (as rule)- 30

= 4

Divide by 4 (as rule)

Example 2 --

Remainder of 1 after subtraction and then division

Total number = 35

Subtract 30 as a rule -30 = 5

Divide by 4 as a rule

Then do the same process as above but add One to the number in the thirteenth box.

[Remainder]





Consideration of the strengths of the elements and the planets

Relationship of Elements to Each Other


One must take into consideration the Element factor in each case, especially for the one who wants to have Ammal done and the subject on whom the Ammal is being done. Keep in mind that if the Seeker has the Fire element in abundance in his name and the subject has the Air element in abundance, or the seeker has more Air and the subject has more Fire elements, then the Taweez will work very quickly and the impact will be deep. The same thing is true if the seeker has more Earth and the subject has more Water element letters in their names and

vice versa. And if the seeker has more Fire and subject has more Water element letters, then the Taweez will never work. The same thing is true if the seeker has more Air and the subject has more Earth letters.


Friendship and Enmity of Planets


It is very important that one should keep in mind the friendship and the enmity of each planet in consideration. Always write a Taweez or read an Azeemat keeping these factors in consideration; also many other factors may make them their enemies or at fall or become dignified. A condition of a sextile (making 60 degree aspect) is half friendship. A Trine is a full friendship. A square is a half, whereas an opposition is a complete enmity.


Power and Weakness of Planets


Another important factor is the power and weakness of a planet, many times a malefic planet may become benefic. Therefore the impact of both the benefic and malefic planet will be great. See chapter 4 for the benefic and malefic positions of the planets. All the Planets are in detriment in the fifth house or sign from the sign of their ruler ship.




Position of Sun



Add all the days passed from 1st of January until the day of the question and add to it ten (10) as a rule. Then divide it by the sign and the amount of days allocated as follows:

Example:

On the 22nd of March someone wants to know the position of the Sun -- at what degree and in what sign is it? Add the days passed through the 22nd of March from the 1st of January.

January = 31
February = 28
March = 22

Total days = 81

Add 10 as a rule =10 91 - 89 = 2 Give the 2 to Aries. The Sun is at two (2) degrees of Aries.

Total

Give 29 days to Capricorn = 29

30 days to Aquarius = 30

30 days to Pisces. = 30

Total = 89 days




In Ilm-ul-Jaffer it is very important to find out the Ascendant (Taaleh / rising sign), and the positions of the Moon and the Sun.

Position of Sun

Add all the days passed from 1st of January until the day of the question and add to it ten (10) as a rule. Then divide it by the sign and the amount of days allocated as follows:

Example:

On the 22nd of March someone wants to know the position of the Sun -- at what degree and in what sign is it?

Add the days passed through the 22nd of March from the 1st of January.

January = 31

February = 28

March = 22

Total days = 81

Add 10 as a rule= 10 91 - 89 = 2 Give the 2 to Aries. The Sun is at two (2) degrees of Aries.

Total = 91 Give 29 days to Capricorn = 29

30 days to Aquarius = 30

30 days to Pisces = 30

Total = 89 days


Position of the Moon

Say someone asked about the position of the Moon. To find it, one must know the Moon month date. Let us say that the date today is 4th of Rabbih-ul-Awwal. Multiply the date by thirteen (13) and add to it twenty- six ( 26) as a rule. Then divide it equally among all signs giving 30 to each sign. Starting from the Sun’s sign at the time of birth of the Moon.


Example:

Today’s date is the 4th of Rabbih-ul-Awwal

4 x 13 = 52

Add 26 as arule +26

Total = 78

Say the Sun was in Pisces at the time of birth of the Moon. So giving:

30 to Pisces = 30

+30 to Aries = 30

Total = 60

so 78 - 60 = 18

We are left with 18, which will go to Taurus. Therefore the Moon is at 18 degrees of Taurus.

Position of the Ascendant

One should know how many Gharis have passed until the time of the question. There are sixty (60) Gharis from sunrise to sunrise. Count the Gharis at the time of question and multiply it by six (6) as a rule. Then add the degrees the Sun has moved in the present sign.

Begin to give the days according to the table provided above, starting from the sign the Sun is in.

Example:

On the 22nd of March 1877, a question was asked, then it was 6th of Rabbih-ul-Awwal 1194 Hijra. And the Sun was one (1) degree of Aries, and the time was 10 Gharis.

Number of Gharis = 10

Multiply by 6 as a rule x 6 = 60

Add 1 degree of Sun + I = 61

Give 30 to Aries, 30 to Taurus and the remaining 1 to Gemini. The Ascendant at that time was one (1) degree Gemini.

The other method to find the ascendant is to know how many degrees the Sun has traveled in the sign it is in. Now the Sun always rises with the sign it is in. This rising sign and the following signs rise for a particular time. Start by dividing the total number of Gharis passed over from sunrise to sunrise (60 Gharis) by the total of signs passed (12 signs) to see how many Gharis it will take for a sign to pass (5 Gharis).

If Sun was at 1 degree of Aries and time was 10 Gharis.

Number of Gharis passed = 10

60 ÷ 12 = 5 Gharis for a sign to pass

10 ÷ 5 = 2 signs passed

Thus from 1 degree Aries to 1 degree Taurus is one sign, and from 1 degree Taurus to 1 degree Gemini is the second sign. So at 10 Gharis, the Ascendant was one (1) degree of Gemini.

The method of making the complete book

Jaffer-e-Jammiah

The method for Jaffer-e-Jammiah is as such that a book of (28) twenty-eight lines is created, in which every part has (28) twenty-eight pages, and in every page there are (28) twenty-eight boxes, and in every box (4) four letters are written. The first letter is considered the box, the second letter taken as a line, the third is taken as a page and the fourth as a part.

Therefore there will be four Alif in the first box. The meaning of this is that the first box is the first line, and the first page and the first part.

In the second box will he one Bay and three Alif. And in the last box of the first line will be one Ghain and three Alifs, to mean that the twenty-eighth ( 28th ) box will be the first line, and the first page and the first part. The last box of the last page of this book will have four Ghain in it.

Jaffer-e-Kabir

The second way is that the first letter is marked for part, the second marked for page, the third marked for line and the last marked for the box. This is called Jaffer-e-Kabir. The result for both is the same. Both have the same value, status, benefit and the rules of extraction of results.

This book will have a total of 784 pages, 32952 lines and 922656 boxes. Therefore in this world, every word a human being can possibly pronounce can be found in this book, whether it is meaningful or not, and from any language.

If it is a four-letter word, then one can find it in one box. If it is more than four letters then it can be found combining with the other boxes. For example, the Arabic word Khaliq can be found in Jaffer-e-Jammiah’s box number twenty-four (24),on line one (1) of page twelve (12) and part nineteen (19). The Persian word Aizd can he found in the Jaffer-e-Jammiah’s box one (1), line ten (10), page seven (7) and part four (4). The Sanskrit (Indian) word Eeshwar can be found in box one (1), line ten (10), page twenty (21?), and part twenty (20).

This book is a complete book. If you want to find out any person’s name, the name of a planet, the name of an angel, or of a Mowakal, and the name of any other thing or matter, you can find it in the same manner in this book. If it is a four-letter word, then you will find it in one box, and if more than four letters then take it from the next box and therefore the line where the name is found in the box is the diary of that person or matter. The lines before that box are the future of that person and the lines after are the past.

In the light of Quran and Hadith:

Nowadays Press Freedom and Newsmedia in Islamic Republic of Pakistan are under restriction and ban but there is no ban on Programs like [Istikhara Pareshaniyon Say Chutkara, Roohani Illaj, Horoscope, Lakeerain Kiya Kehti Hain and what not].

The Ilmul Aadad or Ilmul Abjad i.e. Numerology are considered a branch of Sihr [Witchcraft/Magic and all the above programs being relayed of Private TV Channels do belong to several branches of Magic i.e. Kufr/Shirk [Infidelity/Polytheism] but prevalent in the garb of Spirituality and above all Sufiism the right word is quacks.

More on absurd Para Normal Science:

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who acquires a branch of the knowledge of astrology, learns a branch of magic (of which he acquires more as long as) he continues to do so.''[Abu Dawud].

People say Hazrat Ali Ibn-e-Talib [May Allah be pleased with him] had the knowledge of Ramal [Ramal Faal] [May Allah forgive me for even repeating this lie on lofty person like Ali Al Murtaza Abutarab, Amen]

Mu`awiyah bin Al-Hakam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have recently emerged from ignorance and Allah has favoured me with Islam. There are still some men among us who visit the soothsayers to consult them (on matters relating to the future).'' He (PBUH) replied, "Do not visit them.'' I said: "There are some men who are guided by omens.'' He eplied, "These are the ideas which come up in their minds but you should not be influenced by them (i.e., these things) should not prevent them from pursuing their works.'' I said: "There are some men who practise divination by drawing lines on the ground.'' The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) replied, "There was a Prophet Idris [PBUH] who drew lines, the line which agrees with the line drawn by that Prophet would be correct.''[Muslim].

"These are the ideas which come up in their minds'' means that sometimes something appears and one's mind at once takes it as a bad omen. This is something instinctive and natural and one is not accountable for it. But if one acts in accordance with that omen then what he does is wrong and is, therefore, forbidden. For this reason, the Prophet (PBUH) said, "(i.e., these things) should not prevent them from pursuing their works.''

The drawing of a line mentioned in this Hadith is different from the drawing of lines in `Iyafah mentioned earlier. Moreover, that was an act of a Prophet Idris [PBUH] which was done by him in the light of Wahy sent to him by Allah and, therefore, was certainly correct. But now, nobody possesses that knowledge and cannot, therefore, be adopted. The statement of the Prophet (PBUH) that: "The line which agrees with the line drawn by that Prophet Idris [PBUH] would be correct'' was by way of elucidation. It does not mean that that act can also be done by anyone today, for how can it be done without knowing its principles. How did that Prophet of Allah draw that line? What were its principles? Since that knowledge has passed away with that Prophet, it is now no longer valid, nor would it be fruitful.

Kahin (soothsayer), Munajjim (astrologer) and Arraf (foreteller) have similar characteristics but with a slight difference. All of them make predictions about the future. Kahin would overhear some jinn and disclose the secret to people which would sometimes prove true, because the jinn's source of information was Satan who sometimes stole away some information from the angels. But after the annunciation of the Prophet (PBUH) it was made impossible for jinns and satans to overhear anything in the skies. Moreover, Kahin and others of his ilk would make predictions on the basis of certain signs and circumstantial evidence which could go wrong or right. This is so even to this day. Astrological prediction is also a form of foretelling but this is often wrong. Al-`Irafah, or what is known to be as divination is also an indication of some future occurrence on the basis of certain causes and events. All the three occult arts supplement each other and also take the help of similar other things. In other words, these are all different forms of soothsaying. Geomancy also tries to tell about the invisible future. At-Tarq is the art of taking omen by striking birds with gravel on their wings or by throwing barley, etc., before them. In the latter formula, if a bird flies towards the right side, it would be a good omen; and if it goes towards the left it will be a bad one. All such things are unlawful and have been strictly forbidden by Islam. If anything predicted by these means comes by chance true, it does not furnish any justification for their validity.

Sihr is a serious crime and is one of the kinds of kufr. It is one of things with which people have been tested, in the past and currently, among the nations of the past, during the Jaahiliyyah and in this ummah. The Qur’aan and Sunnah have described the kinds of sihr and the rulings on these matters. Sihr is so called because its means are hidden or secret, and because the practitioners of sihr deal with things in secret which enable them to perform illusions to confuse the people and deceive their eyes, and to cause them harm or steal their money, etc., in a secretive manner so that in most cases nobody realizes what is happening. Hence the last part of the night is called sahar, because at the end of the night people are unaware and they do not move about much. And the lungs are also called sahr, because they are hidden inside the body. According to sharee’ah, the meaning of sihr is what the magicians do to delude and confuse people, so that the one who is watching thinks that it is real when in fact it is not.

As Allaah said concerning the magicians of Pharaoh (interpretation of the meaning):

“They said: ‘O Moosa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?’ Moosa said: ‘Nay, throw you (first)!’ Then behold! their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast. So Moosa conceived fear in himself. We (Allaah) said: ‘Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand. And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician’s trick, and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill) he may attain.’” [Ta-Ha 20:65-69]

Sihr may involve things that the magician does when tying knots on which he blows, as is referred to in the Qur’aan (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots”[al-Falaq 113:4]

And it may involve other things which they manage to do through the shayaateen (devils), so they do things that may affect a man's reason or make him sick; they may cause division between a man and his wife, resulting in her looking ugly to him, or by making her hate her husband or be put off by him.

This is blatant kufr as the Qur’aan states. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“They followed what the Shayaateen (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaymaan (Solomon). Sulaymaan did not disbelieve, but the Shayaateen (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic” [al-Baqarah 2:102]

Allaah informs us that they (the shayaateen) committed kufr by teaching men magic. Then He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Haaroot and Maaroot, 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).’”[al-Baqarah 2:102]

Then Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allaah’s Leave”[al-Baqarah 2:102]

i.e., this magic and any harm that results from it is subject to the prior decree and will of Allaah, for our Lord cannot be overwhelmed and nothing can happen in His Dominion against His Will. Nothing happens in this world or in the hereafter except by His prior decree and His great wisdom, as He wills. So some people may be tested by sihr, and others may be tested by sickness, or by being killed…etc. Allaah is All-Wise in all that He wills and decrees, and in all that He prescribes for His slaves.

Hence Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allaah’s Leave” [al-Baqarah 2:102]

“They said: ‘O Moosa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?’ Moosa said: ‘Nay, throw you (first)!’ Then behold! their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast. [Ta-Ha 20:65-66]

Allaah says (interpretation if the meaning):

“by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast” [Ta-Ha 20:66]

And in Soorat al-A’raaf Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“He [Moosa] said: ‘Throw you (first).’ So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a great magic” [al-A’raaf 7:116]

But in fact their sticks and ropes did not change; it was the people’s sight which changed because of the sihr, so they thought they were snakes, because of the illusion brought about by the magicians. Some people call this taqmeer, which is when the magician does things to make a person not sense reality as it really is, so his eyes do not see what is really there and things may be taken from his shop or his home without him realizing it, i.e., he does not know what is really happening. So he may see a rock as a chicken or as an egg, and so on, because reality has been changed in his eyes because of the confusion wrought by the magician, and because his eyes have been bewitched. There are things that the magicians do with certain substances to make people’s eyes not see what is really happening.

This is the kind of magic which Allaah describes as “great” [i.e. serious, powerful] in Soorat al-A’raaf (interpretation of the meaning):

“… So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed a great magic” [al-A’raaf 7:116]

Sihr (witchcraft or magic) is a word referring to something hidden. It is real and there are kinds of witchcraft that may affect people psychologically and physically, so that they become sick and die, or husbands and wives are separated. Its effects happen by the will of Allaah. It is a devilish action, most of which is only achieved by means of shirk and drawing close to the jinn and shayaateen (devils) by means of that which they love, and it is based on associating others with Allaah (shirk).

There are doctors who are also practitioners of witchcraft, who treat people by means of seeking the help of the jinn. They claim to have knowledge of the sickness with no need to identify it, and they prescribe for the patient foods and drinks that bring him closer to his allies among the devils. He may tell them to slaughter a pig whilst saying “Bismillaah” over it, or to slaughter a permissible animal without saying “Bismillaah”, or when saying the name of one of the devils.

This is kufr or disbelief in Allaah, and it is not permissible under any circumstances to go to people like these. The hadd punishment for these people is execution. It has been proven from three of the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) that the practitioners of witchcraft are to be put to death. Seeking treatment through human medical doctors and using permissible medicines is sufficient.

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

“Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days.” Narrated by Muslim.

And it was narrated by the authors of al-Sunan and by al-Haakim, who classed it as saheeh, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad.”

This man and his companions from among the jinn are regarded as being among the fortune-tellers and soothsayers, so it is not permissible to ask them anything or to believe them. The ruling on these people is that they are kaafirs and misguided, because they claim to have knowledge of the unseen.

Muslim narrated in his Saheeh that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days.”

And it was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).”

Narrated by Abu Dawood and by the four authors of al-Sunan; classed as saheeh by al-Haakim who narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Whoever goes to a fortune-teller or soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).”

And it was narrated that ‘Imraan ibn Husayn (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“He does not belong to us who observes bird omens or has that done for him, or who seeks divination or who has that done for him, or who practices witchcraft or has that done for him. Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” Narrated by al-Bazzaar with a jayyid isnaad.

Secondly:

With regard to witchcraft (sihr), it is real and is not an illusion, and it may have an effect by Allaah’s leave.

Al-Quraafi said: Sihr is real, and the person against whom it is done may die, or his nature or habits may be changed, even if he does not deal with it himself. This was the view of al-Shaafa’i and Ibn Hanbal…

The evidence of Ahl al-Sunnah concerning that is as follows:

1. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“but the Shayaateen (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Haaroot and Maaroot, 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).” And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allaah’s Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not” [al-Baqarah 2:102]

This verse clearly indicates what we are trying to say, which is that sihr (witchcraft) is real, and that the practitioner of witchcraft may create a division between a man and his wife thereby, and that he may harm people by means of his witchcraft, but he cannot do any harm except by Allaah’s leave.

2. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots”[al-Falaq 113:4]

“those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots” refers to female [male too] witches whose witchcraft involved tying knots then blowing into them. If witchcraft were not something real, Allaah would not have commanded us to seek refuge from it.

Ibn al-Qayyim said: The witchcraft which can cause sickness, lethargy, mental sickness, love, hatred and delusions is something that does exist and is known by the masses. Many people know it from experience.

Al-Tafseer al-Qayyim, p. 571

Thirdly:

There are many kinds of witchcraft, including illusions and deceiving the eyes. But not all sihr is like that. Some of the scholars listed different kinds of witchcraft, and counted eight kinds, the most well known of which are:

1. Knots and incantations

i.e., reciting words and mumbo-jumbo by means of which the witch is able to use the devils to do what he wants of harming the person being bewitched. But Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“… but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allaah’s Leave” [al-Baqarah 2:102]

2. Sleight of hand.

They become skilled in this by means of practice and training to do things quickly, and bring out something hidden. For example, the magician may bring a dove and strange it in front of the audience, then he hits it with his hand and it gets up and flies. But in fact there was a kind of anaesthetic in his hand and he made it smell it and made the audience think that he had strangled it and killed it, then when he hits it, he wakes it up from that stupor.

3. Bewitching the eyes.

This is very common among the liars; the magician does not really put a sword in his body, rather he bewitches the eyes of the audience, and puts the sword by his side, but the bewitched people think that he puts it through his middle.

These tricksters have become well known among us, because among the audience there are those who protected themselves with Qur’aan and dhikr, and remembered Allaah a great deal whilst sitting in the gathering watching the magician, so they saw what really happened, unlike what those who were bewitched saw.

4. Using chemicals

This is done well by those who know how substances react with one another, thus producing a substance that is not affected by some other substances, such as the Sufi Rifaa’iyyah who make people think that they are not affected by fire, when in fact they coat themselves with some fireproof substances. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) challenged them to wash with hot water before entering the fire and they refused because this would have exposed their deceit.

And there are many other things that the practitioners of witchcraft do, which could not happen unless Allaah decreed it. Astrology, horoscopes, superstition and fortune-telling are all actions of jaahiliyyah (ignorance) which Islam came to show as false and to explain that they are shirk, because they involve depending on something other than Allaah and believing that benefit and harm come from something other than Him, and believing the words of fortune-tellers and soothsayers who falsely claim to have knowledge of the unseen in order to cheat people of their money and change their beliefs.

The evidence (daleel) for that is the hadeeth narrated by Abu Dawood in his Sunan with a saheeh isnaad from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“Whoever learns anything of astrology has learned a branch of witchcraft (al-sihr)…”

And al-Bazzaar narrated with a jayyid isnaad from ‘Imraan ibn Husayn that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“He is not one of us who practises augury or has it done for him, who tells fortunes or has his fortune told, or who practises witchcraft or has that done for him.” Whoever claims to know some matter of the unseen either is a fortune-teller or is acting like a fortune-teller in some sense, because Allaah is the only One Who has knowledge of the unseen.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning);

“Say: ‘None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghayb (Unseen) except Allaah…’” [al-Naml 27:65]

Hazrat `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: Some people asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about soothsayers. He (PBUH) said, "They are of no account.'' Upon this they said to him, "O Messenger of Allah! But they sometimes make true predictions.'' Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "That is a word pertaining to truth which a jinn snatches (from the angels) and whispers into the ears of his friend (the soothsayers) who will then mix more than a hundred lies with it.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

"The angels descend in the clouds and mention matters which has been decreed in heaven; Satan steals a hearing (listens to it stealthily) and communicates it to the soothsayers who tell along with it a hundred lies.'' [Al-Bukhari]
