Taweez

Saw a Video of a group of people standing in Madina Shareef. and obviously a 24 activist trying to teach that tawwez is unislamic ..

1st point he says : this practice is not from the tiime of prophet peace be upon him or sahaba raziallhutaalajmaeen and Tries to say this is only inIndia and bangladesh etc

2. he says even honey has Shifa so if anyone hangs honey around neck will it heal ?

3. its shirk

Answer :

firstly he says this was not Done by sahabas which is wrong

Amr Ibn Shu’aib RadhiAllahu ‘anhu says, that ‘RasoolAllah (Sallallahu’ alaihi wa sallam) taught my Father and grandFather a Du'a which we would read before going to sleep, to protect us from fear and anguish. We told our elder children to recite this Du'a before going to sleep as well. But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around their necks.

[Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal vol.2, Abu Dawud in Chapter of Medicine, Tafsir by Hafidhh Ibn Kathir of verse 97 of Surah Al-Mu’minoon and Qadi Shawkaani in Fath-ul-Qadeer under the same verse]

His 2nd Argument was Quran is for reading and implementing not for anything else , to explain that he gives example Honey has healing attributes as well but if we Hang it will we be healed ...

firstly : comparison is always done for Likes we don't compare Apples to pineapples because both have apples in the way we spell it

It would be expected that when he tries to explain what Quran cant do and is SHIRk should be from proven from Quran itself not his lame logic of coparing honey with Allahs word

Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim write:

When a person who was sick or in some distress they would go to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] who would then place his hand on the area of the pain and recite a du’a and then blow onto him.

(Bukhari, Muslim chap on Tibb).

Imam Muslim writes:

When the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] was ill for the last time, angel Jibreel [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] came and recited du’a and blew on to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]. (Muslim chapter on Tibb)

Imam Muslim writes:

Aisha (Radiall hu anhua) said when the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] was ill the last time, she recited Surah Al-Falaq and Surah Al-Naas and then blew on to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]’s hands. The Prophet then blew this onto his own face and body because his hands had more blessing then Aisha’s (Radiall hu anha).

(Muslim chap on Tibb)

From the above narrations, it proves that to blow after reciting du’as onto the sick is Sunnah and the more pious the person is, the more healing power he has because he is blessed more than the less pious.

SO IMAM Bukhari who wrote Bukhari Sharif and Imam Muslim who wrote Muslim Sharif both KNOWN MOST Authentic source of Hadis Dont share this view with Wahabis

so in hadis Jibraeel Alihissalam reads Quran himself and blows on prophet peace be upon him .. Angels are Masoon and Prophets peace be upon him are Masoom and are here for purpose of Guidance

can Angel Gabreel Alihissalam commit shirk .. by believing the blowing will help? and prophet peace be upon him not only did not stop but himself blew after reciting dua

recitation is One thing , to pass on this blessing I.e transmitting the blessing by either blowing or writing taweez is used ,Taweez is also proven.

idiots might get into science of it and ask does wind carry blessing ? what is there is a cross wind just at the time of blowing , what speed and how long does it take to download blessing of Dua thru wind to target

There are 2 types of Hadis regarding Amulets

One of the types is transmitted in Bukhari: 'There will be people who will enter Paradise without any questioning, who have never been blown upon.' Imam Muslim has also recorded a hadith in support of those who do not ask to be blown upon.

The hadis written above clearly permits their use and have specific mention of blowing upon e.g Jibraeel alihissalam, types of ahadith apparently seem to contradict each other but in reality there is no contradiction.

The former 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 latter types of ahadith which permit damm refer to those kalimat [words or verses] which have been taught by the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)

Imam al-Qurtubi wrote in detail about both types of ahadith concerning ta'wiz:

"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']
