What is Islamic Definition of Magic?

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Eshaykh Staff

Question:

SLM.I would like to know the Islamic definition of magic as it has been asked a lot to mebecause there are many believers who ask about it but we do not know the answer, after a search to find out what is magic, we find some definitions as Universal Definition of Magic:The act of manipulating spiritual energies, making use ofany form of magic exists, regardless of their origin, through objects of any kind, actions or reactions, in order to achieve their own wishes or others;Magic is the science and art of causing change in conformity with Will.(Crowley). An introductory book on magic even quotes the example of the five prayers and the direction of the qibla, many magicians use it saying it is a form of magic, it is hard to see that everything involves magic, even to consider some magic technology, as well a others see science as magic.

Answer:

Wa`alaykum salam,

Please read this previous post, Harut and Marut. For further investigation, read  Prophet Solomon(as) .

Syed Bukhari lineage related questions – Part 1/2

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Question:

Salam Alaykoum WrAllah Wb,

Some of my girl cousins (one is near 35, spiritually very strong) are currently not married. They say they must marry a Syed family, but they are literally struggling. Their father, a Syed Bukhari, is not talking much. Their mother, a very blessed woman, a non Syed, has passed away (May Allah have her soul).
My questions are coming separately. I apologize for my straightforward questions coming with the next post (Part 2/2), but the situation is such that they really need help. No one in their family seems to making a move for helping them! And because they do not go out of their homes, it is not easy. InshaAllah your answers will stop people from talking in their back, and will increase the knowledge of those who don’t know. Please make duas for them.

Many thanks, JazakAllah! And Ramadhan Mubarak.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

I will make du`as. Let them recite hasbunAllah wa ni`ama ‘l-wakeel 100 times daily.

Prayer Request: Chronic Disease Of The Stomach-Ulcerative Colitis-Duaah & Wazeefa Please

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Request:

Assalam Alaykum Ya Sayyedi.
I am a 34 year old married woman with no children as of yet. At the age of 17 I was diagnosed with chronic left-sided Ulcerative Colitis. I was told at that age that this is for life and the risk of getting bowel/stomach cancer is increased. I was also told that when I have children, I must have a caesarian section. I am currently in remission alhamdulilah. However, this disease has ruined my life and I struggle to carry on day to day like a normal healthy person. This disease had also given me other problems such as raised cholesterol and acute depression. Please Shaykh Hisham, make duaah for me to live a healthy life and be rid of this disease. I want to be healthy and have healthy children inshallah. Also, could you kindly give me a wazeefa as well? Thank you

Response:

wa `alaykum salam,

Insha-Allah I will pray for you. Fatiha.

Dog in severe weather

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

Question:

Assalamu Alaikum,
Just wanted to know, if I was to keep a dog for guarding and for farming purposes, I would keep it outside in its kennel but when really rough winter comes with knee-high snow and -18 degrees celcius temperatures, is it permissable for the dog to come into the house? But only in one area away from the rest of the household?
JazakAllah Khair!

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

No. The dog should stay outside; make a small shack for him.
