Taweez

[~*Anonymous*~]

Sorry if this thread has been done before but I was just wondering what the rulings are in Islam about having a Taweez.

I've heard different things like it's haraam because you're meant to believe in Allah who is going to protect you not parts of the Quraan and it's a form of shirk. But I've also heard it's ok because you're using the words of Allah to protect you...

I could've looked this up on the internet but I'm not sure which sites you can trust or not. Do any of you wise men/women know the truth behind it?

Thank you!

The best place to go is to go to a Islamic Bookshop and get a book from a reputable publisher (e.g. Dar Us Salaam).

The base ruling is that there is no "need" for a Taweez. Some people say they can be good or bad, but at the end of the day one has to ask themselves whether they follow "Sunnah".

And if they do, they have to ask themselves the next question; "Did the prophet pbuh or his companions or the next three generations of Islam use the Taweez?"

The view I've taken after reading my stuffs is that it isn't allowed.

Yeah, I don't know of any Islamic bookshops around here

My mum and dad used to use it but my little sister who goes to Islamic school learnt that it's not allowed so just wanted to find out.

Thanks buddy

How can a Taweez be haraam, when the Quran is the true words of Allah (SWT). I had a Taweez as a little girl, cos I stayed ill alot.
Sorry for going off topic.

Well it goes by saying that you don't rely on simply "words" for protection.
It's like leaving a Quran in the car with the windows open hoping that it's not gonna get burgled. Bit extreme example but it gets the point accross. There was a huge debate on this actually on the forum, I'll try find a link.

I used to wear one. Then get bollocked by my mosque teacher maybe because I didn't ask 'him' to make one for me. Wore it because I supposedly had nazar from haters lol. Another was all my mates wore one, I kind of wanted one too.

Stopped wearing it years ago.

Well to be honest I used to have a taweez for various reasons as a child.. But when I went Africa I heard alot of stories!! I got told it's not a good thing.. Always believe in Allah and have faith in ur ilm (religion/prayers and Islamic knowledge).. They say having a taweez for ones betterness can cause them more grief!! It can cause more harm than help you!! Sometimes it can do the opposite of the reason it's being used for!!

A true story of a family member who wore taweez and apon wearing it he had the worst days to come:
This person wore a taweez to save himself from evil..one day he was walking towards the masjid for salaah.. And got caught by a jinn despite wearing a taweez.. He fainted there and then and was awoke with his Tongue out and bloated!! It was hard to control him.. They had a specialist to look at him but he couldn't do anything to help.. They had to call an imam.. Apon seeing the taweez the imam told them to remove it!! Still apon removing it there was no sign of recovery til they had to take out Sadka and ask what the Jinn wanted!! I didn't believe the story at first but when I saw the person and how he is now I couldn't stop crying!! This person has fits and each fit he has is due to the taweez that he wore!! He was saved by Allah at the right time!! But is still having to take the punishment for one mistake of wearing a taweez!!

What you have to ask yourself is.. Should you live your whole life a certain way based on ambiguous guidelines ?

Why are you continiously trying to belittle Islam you ignorant child , with no moral, educational and reputable standing on this forum? Every second post that any other user can click under your name shows a blatant disregard to the Islamic religion and it's practices. Here let me show you a few examples of what you have said, perhaps to jog your memory:

What you have to ask yourself is.. Should you live your whole life a certain way based on ambiguous guidelines ?

it was a clearly not a serious comment..Hence the wink

Seriously though how can say that when you follow a chauvinistic religion ?

people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

ok so why do do people bases their whole life on a 'society that was very different to how is today'

I tried convincing people I was a prophet/messenger, but I was dismissed as a schizophrenic.

damn I wish I was born in a time when there were no psychiatrists around who had knowledge about mental illnesses.

Zanjeer what I would say to you is that I've realised it impossible to have a discussion/debate with people on a subject on which emotions play a massive part in the shaping of their beliefs/opinions. That's the problem with religious folks, faith is based on emotion, assumptions and presumptions and not logic, facts and evidence.

i dont watch porn..its for kuffar fornicators..

What makes it incredibly humourous is that you are not a Muslim, as it is also blatantly shown by your comments. Not only do I find your posts offensive, but I'm sure other people of other relgions also find it offensive and your manner of putting forward your opinions with the facade of you having some sort of "Dark Humour" is inexcusable.

Time & time again, I've asked for a public debate with you on the AsianPlace teamspeak, with a full recording available to users after I may add, on these religion matters that you seem to take so seriously, but you continuously ignore which leads me to two conclusions. Either you are too busy. Or you are a keyboard warrior that is too afraid to talk one-to-one in a real debate style way. Rather than posting your sly dig's at Islam in short bursts and then disappearing like your other friend, who's not even worth being mentioned.

Instead of trying to chase some AP female tail, which is apparent to many users of this forum; please try and reason with yourself what exactly is the cause of your detest towards the religion you so bitterly hate and what goals do you have for other Muslim users of this forum. Or is it some random venting out of some religious dilemma that had plagued your childhood.

People who don't have a religion and do not agree with Islam's teachings, such as Bav (DJ B4VVY) do not make a spectacle in ripping another religion. Criticising a religion is one thing, and debating about a religion is another. And let's not get into the semantics of that sentence. She's probably the only non-muslim in here that openly objects to Islamic teaching but still keeps it civil when discussing, compared to you and your ilk; you people know who are.

And moreover, I request to the mods to make it clear to Tariq2009 that his post was not on topic and was spam. I wonder how long this person is allowed to continuously ruin perfectly good threads.

Taweez being "Haram" im not so sure, its most probably 'Makru'.

Back in the days i also wore it.. but slowly people are learning and are bettering themselves with more Islamic knowledge which is good, hence myself and the rest of my family have stopped this Taweez business.

Not only Taweez is not recommened because you put your faith and reliance upon it and also because it wasn't what the prophet did.. but also because the Taweez itself can have adverse affects on you.

I was listening to the Imam of the East London Mosque on Ramadan radio some years ago and this topic was brought up.. he said just what i have told you... but interestingly he siad something else which a lot of people forget about.

What is written in the Taweez? How do you know it's suppose to protect you, guide you, help you? Why pay for it?

Yes some people do charge you.. its easy money and still is a business for some.


A person approached the imam after suffering for a very long time and the taweez was not helping he said. So the imam of the East London Mosque wanted to see the Taweez which was supposedly given by another so called 'sheikh/imam'. What was written inside was very scary indeed.

It read...

"Oh Satan help me" - literally.

Now it dosent matter how much you trust somebody you dont really know what is being prescribed for you. As you know arabic is a very fruitful language... so little can mean so much. A word, a punctuation, something out of place can throw the whole thing off into meaning something else.

So i highly wouldnt recommend Taweez.. it becomes a game among Satan to challenge the Taweez you are wearing. There was an old saying.. it was something like this... the more you protect the more they attack... along those lines.

The best place to go is to go to a Islamic Bookshop and get a book from a reputable publisher (e.g. Dar Us Salaam).

The base ruling is that there is no "need" for a Taweez. Some people say they can be good or bad, but at the end of the day one has to ask themselves whether they follow "Sunnah".

And if they do, they have to ask themselves the next question; "Did the prophet pbuh or his companions or the next three generations of Islam use the Taweez?"

Spot on.

Yea he's becoming an eyesore.. Zanjeer sent me this photo



I think they had a meeting in a hotel not far from me in Forest Gate, London.

Anything overly out of place just report it, i'll have a permanent solution for it then.

Lol thanks Kayz, I've added him to my ignore list again; should've kept him there tbh.

What makes it incredibly humourous is that you are not a Muslim

I don't need a supremacist, segregative identity like you do. The difference between me and most Muslims is I dont claim certainty for what I can't prove. Many Muslims have that smugness(as do atheists)of claiming certitude. What makes your religion the beacon of truth & morality ?

As it is also blatantly shown by your comments. Not only do I find your posts offensive,

Are you beliefs so fragile, that you get so easily offended and so defensive ?

posting your sly dig's at Islam

You've taken a selected few posts of mine to back your argument. However anyone who looks at all my posts would notice i'm vehemently anti-religionist and find all Religions equally preposterous, yet you pull out the 'Islam Card' to get the rest of the forum on your side using the sentiment of religious affiliation.

what exactly is the cause of your detest towards the religion you so bitterly hate and what goals do you have for other Muslim users of this forum.

I have no problem with people having their own Religious Beliefs. as the saying goes 'religion is like a shoe, find one that fits you if you want, just dont make other people wear it'. However the reality is far different and it becomes an issue for everyone when people like yourself endlessly evangelise and proseltyse.

People who don't have a religion and do not agree with Islam's teachings, such as Bav (DJ B4VVY) do not make a spectacle in ripping another religion.

lol is this coming from the same person that patronised me for not being a Muslim ? Let's get one thing straight, nobody bashes other Religons more then some Muslims do. Mr Zakir Naik continuosulsy bashes others Religions to the sound of rapturous audience applause & laughter. Mr Sudays has on record bashed Christians as Cross Worshippers as well as proliferating Anti-Semitic views. That's 2 of the most famous Muslim figureheads in the world, yet you and many other hypocritical Muslims conveniently forget that fact when they pull out the 'Islamaphobia' card.

What I find humorous is most people are born into their religion by chance and parentage yet they act like it's a talent they have been given or a personal accomplishment. It's not like you sent a memo to your mums brain saying ' hey mum hey mum start reading the quran & make sure you land at Jeddah Airport before you give birth to me !. If you was born a Christian you'd dismiss Islam and all other Religions as Bullshit. It's all random chance, if you were born in China you'd most probably be born a Buddhist, India - Hindu, Saudi - Sunni Muslim, Iran - Shiite Muslim Italy - Catholic Christian, US- Protestant Christian and so on.

Nearly everybody who affiliates themselves with an Organised Religion, does it because of Child indoctrination. Even those who convert to another religion it's because they have been given a filtered version a religion, Muslims who Proselytise like yourself only propagate and regurgitate it's good points, it's not presented in an impartial manner. If you present selected parts of a theory/ideology you can make any person or group look good. I could say to anyone that Dr. Shipman was a great man because he was a Doctor and healed people, yet unless you do research on him you won't know he was a serial killer.

To sum it up do you need religion to be righteous, humble, forgiving, and truthful? These are values that have no relation to religion, other than religion has adopted them as the correct way of thinking and acting to lure people in.

Here's another question for you. Muslims claim to be morally superior to others, yet if you look at the Home office figures of the Prison Population of Britain it shows that 11% of prisoners classify themselves as 'Muslims'. Yet only 4% of Uk's Population is Muslim, that's a disproportion of 2.75 to 1 of Muslims involved in Criminal Activity. Answer that one

your manner of putting forward your opinions with the facade of you having some sort of "Dark Humour" is inexcusable.

People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs. You need a religion, as something you can always turn to for answers. I just use Google.
