Charming

We met this very kind uncle in London Dr Ameen from Somalia.We were helping him to find a hotel around Norfolk square. He told us a quite a funny anecdote.

There was this patient who asked an Ustadh to write a charm for him so he could wear it to ward off bad health. The Ustadh told him a constant du'a to Allah will be more than sufficient. But the patient insisted. The ustadh gave in and wrote a few words on paper, rolled it into a ball, asked the patient to wear it around his neck.

Finally, the patient was satisfied and felt nothing on earth could harm him.Little did he know, on the paper it read "Don't be stupid,its all from Allah!" teehee.

Ibn Mas'ud reported Rasulullah SAW said, 'Verily spells, talismans and charms are shirk" Ibn Mas'ud said"it would have sufficient for you to have said as Rasulullah SAW used to say:"Remove the the suffering , O lord of mankind and heal it perfectly as you are the true healer-there is no cure except Your cure-a cure which is not followed by any sickness" (Sahih Bukhari)

Regarding Qur'aanic charms, the sahabahs like Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Abbas and Huthayfah were all opposed to wearing Qur'aanic charms. The wearing of Qur'aanic charms contradicts Rasulullah SAW's method of breaking spells and preventing evil (Recitation of Ayatul Kursee, al-falaq, an-nas).

Wearing the Qur'aan in an amulet is like a sick man given a prescription by a doctor, instead of reading it and getting the medicine, he rolls it into a ball puts it in a pouch and hangs it around his neck, believing it will make him well (Dr Bilal Philips).

Lol, so remember brothers and sisters, don't be stupid, it's all from Allah. hehe
