Visiting Pir,Baba,Mulla,Fakir,Sufi:for Cure of Magic
(What Is Magic And How Does Islam View It? )
We tend to put all the blame for any misfortune/problem on other people & most convieniently on magic. Instead of looking at our sins & other reasons we immediately accept any suggestion(from anybody at all), that someone has done something to us!. Visiting Pir,Baba,Mulla,Fakir,Sufi:for Cure of Magic is very comman now Days and its also a good business now a days.In 99% of cases we only incorrectly assume that magic has affected us & it may be true in a very rare case.
All the Islamic jurists have declared the learning and practicing of magic to be unlawful and prohibited. Wasaail al-Shia'h, ch. 25 from the chapters of Maa Yuktasabu bihi, tr. 7
Magic is unconditionally & absolutely haram/prohibited .A gunahane Kabira (greater sin) leading to Hell fire. A person who indulges in magic & does not repent is punishable by Death in an Islamic society, as it is equivalent to shirk & severly criticised in many ahadith.
At times, the sorcerer discontinues all good actions & concentrates on performing satanic rituals, committing adultery, drinking blood etc. There is an entire cult in magic called as Blood Magic. This is based on the belief that as blood represents life force, and thus can be used to power or augment powerful magic. Use of blood can provide power to humans and also to objects. A more hideous though related cult is Death Magic. In both of these the magician does not fall short of killing ones own wife, kids, etc. Another form is called as Necromancy. This also includes rapes of little girls. In this and most of the forms of magic atrocities of ghastly nature are caused more specifically to women. Then there are other forms of magic like the sympathetic and the contiguous. Contrary to the name, even the sympathetic is very harsh. Both these also involve making idols/dolls and then harming the idol/doll so as to harm any given person with the only difference that contiguous includes something (clothes, shoes, footprints, etc.) related to the target. These acts bring the magician close to Satan so that he is helped in his magic. Obviously the closer to Satan a man is the further he is from any kind of truth & Islam.
Definitions Of Certain Haraam Actions:
1. Magic - Indulging in magic, teaching and learning magic, earning out of it is unconditionally and absolutely Haraam. On the basis of obligatory precaution, this is not allowed even for retaliating to magic in general. The exception to this being, when there is no alternate to this and there is a requirement that is of higher significance in nature, like saving a momins life who is being affected by magic. By magic it is meant to influence the mind of a person through influencing of the sight or hearing or similar aspects of a person.
Let us refer to the Holy Quran in this regard:
"They said: O Musa! Will you cast, or shall we be the first to cast? He said: Cast. So when they cast, they deceived the people's eyes and frightened them, and they produced a mighty enchantment."(Araaf 7: 115-116).
"He said: Nay! Cast down. Then lo! Their cords and their rods - it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if they were running."(TaHa 20: 66).
This is how we have defined magic in the above point.
2. Soothsaying - Fortune telling, this is defined as informing about the hidden things by maintaining that the information has been received through Jinn. It is haraam to indulge in soothsaying. It is also haraam to earn out of soothsaying. Similarly, it is also haraam to refer to a soothsayer. Furthermore, it is even haraam to believe in what the soothsayer has said as true.
3. Astrology - This is Haraam. It is defined as information regarding events like inflation, deflation, heat, cold and other events relying on the movements of celestial bodies, developments in the state of the stars like the proximity between them or the distancing between them or their timing or other similar things with the faith that these have an effect on the events, an effect that is either autonomous to Allah (S.W.T.) or in sharing with Allah (S.W.T.).
It is also to be noted that many claimants do not even have this knowledge of astrology. They claim to have knowledge based on their ulterior motives. Obviously, this is also Haraam.
It is to be noted that whenever we happen to say that it is haraam to go to a Pir/Baba we always mean along with the associated conditions. This sentence is not absolute in nature. Going to a Pir/Baba or to a mulla/fakir/sufi/scholar etc. for that matter is haraam when it falls under the above-mentioned haraam categories. But if a person goes to another person called as Pir/Baba and he evidently guides through the knowledge of the Holy Quran or the Holy Traditions, then it is absolutely no harm. There may be certain apprehensions here and hence please note that we can divide the actions of Pir/Babas/scholar etc into the following categories for the sake of convenience in particular related to our subject matter herein:
1. Actions that are evidently haraam based on the above-mentioned criterion. Like a person dominates other peoples minds or a person claims that he gets news from the Jinn, etc. Here we need to abhor the action and the person indulging in it and prevent this social bane from spreading wherever possible.
2. Actions that are evidently good or mubah. Like a person informing through the Holy Traditions about the signs of the re-appearance the Imam (A.F.) and also informing that probably now so and so events will take place as is mentioned in the Holy Traditions or a person advising that fornication be totally uprooted from the society because he foresees the punishment of Allah (S.W.T.) in the near future.
3. Based on our limited knowledge that varies from person to person, we are not capable to understand whether the person involved is using the pure knowledge or otherwise. In such case, ethically we should keep aloof from such activities. But here we do not have the responsibility or the right to do Amr Bil Maaroof and Nahi Anil Munkar.
Dua e Sabasab can be used to protect oneself from magic and all other evils.This Dua'a is accredited to Imam Saahibaz Zamaan (A.S.). It is recited to drive away the enemy, to dispel the spell of magic or sorcery, and to seek fulfillment of desires, material as well as spiritual.Recite Dua As- Simaat
Shaykh Tusi, Sayyid ibna Tawus and Kafami report that this dua'a, according to Muhammad ibn Uthman Umri, a reliable represetative of Imam Sahibuz Zaman, was taught by Imam Muhammad bin Ali Al Baqir and Imam Jafar bin Muhammad Al Sadiq. Allama Majlisi says that all the pious religious scholars used to recite this dua'a. Shaykh Kafami says that this dua'a contains izmi azam (the great name of Allah). Imam Muhammad bin Ali Al Baqir advised the faithfuls to recite this dua'a as it brings the downfall of the enemies of Ahl ul Bayt. Imam Jafar bin Muhammad Al Sadiq(as) said that Allah swt taught this dua'a to prophet Musa to overcome his enemies. This dua'a is particularly recited in the closing hours before sunset on Friday .Auguring evil (and considering the evil omen to have an influence upon the life of man) is a kind of polytheism (shirk) Al-Mizaan, while interpreting the verse presently under discussion
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) has said: An evil omen affects only in the measure you consider it to possess. If you take it lightly, its influence would be trivial, but if you regard it seriously, it would affect you immensely and if you totally disregard it, it would have no effect.Ibid.
We immediately accept any suggestion(from anybody at all), that someone has done something to us!. Visiting Pir,Baba,Mulla,Fakir,Sufi:for Cure of Magic is very comman now Days and its also a good business now a days.In 99% of cases we only incorrectly assume that magic has affected us & it may be true in a very rare case.In our shia community also some Mulla ,under the masjid and imambargaah , started this practice , just for making easy money. Recognize them and take precaution of not consulting them.
