amulet in islam

Taweez in Islam: The religion of Islam is based on the Quran and the teachings of Muhammad. This is a monotheistic religion. In Islam, only one God (Allah) is believed in and worshipped. In the religion of Islam, legitimate and illegitimate are considered very important, but still this question comes to mind that many people wear amulets in the religion of Islam.

These amulets are considered useful for protection and success. Wearing amulets is more prevalent in Muslim society. In such a situation, let us know what is written about this in the Quran and Hadith. Is wearing an amulet permissible or illegitimate in Islam? Does wearing an amulet really provide protection and success?

Is it permissible to wear an amulet?

Wearing an amulet is not permissible (haram) in Islam. If there is belief in magical powers in it or if anything other than the verses of Quran is written in it. At the same time, some Islamic scholars also believe that wearing amulets even if there are verses from the Quran can be considered as shirk (idol worship). Many scholars consider amulets as “shirk”.

Especially when it is believed that an amulet can provide protection or benefit. This is considered against the belief of Tauheed, the unity of Allah. The most important thing is that the person wearing the amulet should believe that only Allah can protect him. Also the amulet is not a source of power. This is just a medium.

According to Islamic teachings…

According to Islamic teachings, it is customary to read verses from the Quran or recite the Prophet’s prayers instead of amulets for spiritual protection. In the Quranic verse Sura Al-Araf (7:188) it has been said by Allah that no one has the power to cause harm or harm. Except what Allah wills. This shows that in Islam there is no talisman, rather Allah is the protector.

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has called amulets as shirk. According to a Hadith, wearing an amulet is considered to be shirk.
