Tauheed Taweez – Amulets Meaning

“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem””Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

Taweez ( AMULETS)

The defenition of a ta’wiz is simply a written du’a from the Qur’an or ahadith, and is for the one who cannot read or has not memorized that particular du’a. It is written on a piece of paper and is worn around the neck.

“…We send down in Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers…”[Sura Banu Isra’il, verse 82]

The following conditions must be met for a taweez
1) consist of the names of Allah Almighty or his attributes;

2) should be in Arabic;

3) do not consist of anything that is disbelief (kufr);

4) it is not the taweez that helps, but Allah.

5) du’as evidently from Qur’an and ahadith.

It is similar to using medication which is permissible and not against the concept of reliance in Allah (tawakkul) or monotheism Tawhid.

However, it is not permissible to regard the Ta’wiz to be effective in it self, just as it is not permissible to regard medicines to be effective in them selves.

“The ta’wiz that are forbidden are those ta’wiz from the Time of Ignorance – those which are satanic and contain an element of shirk

[mantar, voodoo and magic, etc.]

. The ta’wiz, which are permitted are those written with du’as evidently from Qur’an and ahadith only”[al-Qurtubi, at-Tadhkirat, chapter on ‘Ta’wiz’]

“The type of hadith refers to the prohibition of having read something that is not from the Qur’an and Sunna [i.e.something that has pictures, diagrams or words not from the Qur’an or Sunna] and then blow upon someone. The types of ahadith which permit damm refer to those kalimat [words or verses] which have been taught by the Prophet (SAWS)“[Allama Sa’idi, Sharh Sahih Muslim, Chapter of Tibb]

Ibn Umar (ra) used to teach his children a tawwuz dua to protect them from nightmares. However, some of his children were too young to remember the dua, so he wrote the tawwuz dua on a paper and hung it round their necks (Musannaf ibn abi shayba 8:39)

The tabiee saeed ibn Musayyab was asked about the wearing of a taweez. He replied, “if it is contained in a piece of leather, then that is fine.” (Musannaf ibn abi shayba)

Imam Ibn Taymiyya  writes in his Fatawa:“It is permissible for an ill or troubled person, that certain verses from the Qur’an are written with pure ink, then it is washed and given to the ill to drink.

Ibn Abbas (ra) is reported to have mentioned a certain Dua that should be written and placed close to the woman who is experiencing hard labour at the time of giving birth.

Sayyiduna Ali (ra) says: This Dua should be written and tied to the arm of the woman. We have experienced that there is nothing more amazing than this” (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya, 19/65).

Body/jism=sperm +blood (both are impure ie why jism is dark)+ nafs (disease of heart like ghibat,takabbur,hirs,anger etc etc)

Ruh =heavenly /spiritual/noor ie light (no disease of heart-angelic world)

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
