Despite mankind’s astonishing progress in all aspects of life, there still exists an emptiness in every person’s heart that can only be filled by believing that there is no God but Allah, praying 5 times a day and reading the Quran daily.

Allah Ta’ala says in the Quran, “And we reveal the Quran that is a healing and a mercy for believers……” (Al-Isra: 82)”

Wearing a taweez is allowed for protection or healing provided certain conditions are met:

1. They consist of Allahs attributes

2. They are in Arabic

3. They do not consist of beads, charms, talismans, bones and so on, things that were used in the pre-Islamic period of ignorance

Taweez are allowed as long as the above conditions are met. It is similar to using medication. However, it is not allowed to regard a taweez to be effective in it self, just as it is not allowed to regard medicines to be effective in themselves.

Some hadith supporting taweez

The Sahaaba (companions) asked Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) about Taweez. He said, “It is a power from the power of Allah. It is a means of cure, but Allah is the ultimate Shafee”(Curer).

A child was crying, and they told him that it was from the evil eye. Prophet Mohammad said, “Why do you not find someone to make a taweez to protect him from the evil eye?” (Sahih Bukhari)

Yahya related from Malik that Abdullah ibn Umar was cauterized for palsy and he had a taweez made for a scorpion sting.(Muwatta)

Anyone who says that taweez are not allowed is either ignorant or one who intentionally seeks to saw discord among muslims. Allah has promised the fire of Hell for those who incite discord among muslims.
