Scared of Black Magic

[Al-Zaara]

You reap what you sow. What I mean with this, though, is that fear creates more fear. Don't be afraid, you have access to the greatest weapon against all black magic, namely the Qur'an. And of course, your faith in Allah. Therefor, don't fear, there is no need to inshaAllah, because you have the protection so close by you.

You can also make your relationship to your neighbours better, by inviting them and such, being good to them. Kindness is never lost nor forgotten.

To the OP, I know you must've heard this countless times, but what the heck, here it is again: No one, regardless of their stupid power (be it in black magic or whatever) can harm you unless Allah wills it. By fearing the power of black magic, you're pretty much ignoring the power Allah holds over everything. That's a form of shirk. Yah.

Most certainly he (Satan) has no power over those who truly cherish faith and are trusting upon their Lord; rather his power is limited only to those who take him as a protector (besides God) and thus associate partners with Him. (An-Nahl: 99-100)

To have reached the state where such verses have been included in the manzil booklet

The way you phrased that sentence, it seems as though the verses of the Qur'an must qualify and show their worth to be included in such a prestigious book (a book that is pretty much an innovation... And we all know what the Ptophet (saw) had to say about bid'ah, don't we? But that's a whole different topic).

And for the sake of peace, Alpha, that was not me taking the p.

 

[AabiruSabeel]

Manzil is a very good protection against Jinn and sorcery. Our Prophet Sallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam has taught us Dua for every occasion of our Religious and Worldly needs.

It has been mentioned in a Hadith from Abu Laila (RA) that I was sitting with Rasulullah Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam when suddenly a person came and said I have a brother in pain. The Prophet Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam said what is his pain? He replies junoon (madness/ insanity). Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi wasallam said, Go back and bring him with you. He came and sat in front of Rasulullah Sallallaahu 'Alaihi Wasallam and I heard him recite the following:
-Ta'awwuz (A'oozu Billahi minash-Sahitanir Rajeem)
-Surah Al-Fatihah
-1st four ayats of Surah Al-Baqarah
-2 ayats from its middle, wa ilaahukum ilaahu waahid
-Ayatul Kursi
-3 ayats at the end of Surah Al-Baqarah
-1 ayat of Surah Aal Imraan, shahid allahu annahu la ilaha illa huwa
-and recited an ayat of Surat-ul-A'raaf, inna rabba kumullahu...
-an ayat from Surah Mu'minoon, wa man yadu maallahi ilaahaan aakara la burhaan lahu bihi...
-and an ayat of Surat Jinn, wa annahu taalaa jaddhu rabbina ...
-and 10 ayats from the beginning of Surat-us-Saaffaat
-3 ayats from the end of Surat-ul-Hashr
-Qul huwallahu ahad
-and Mu'awizatain
Hence the person (who was insane) stood up and indeed he was free of it and there was nothing wrong with him (no annoyance). [Ibn Majah]

There are many Ayat of the Holy Qur'an that have some special effect if recited with conviction. Our Prophet Sallallahu 'Alaihi wasallam recited wa ja'alna min-baini aydeehim saddan-wamin khalfihim saddan fa aghshainaahum fahum la yubsiroon when he left his house on the night of Hijrah, and his house was surrounded by young men of Quraish with naked swords in their hands, ready to kill him na'oozubillah, and yet none of them was able to see him leaving the house. Moreover, he took a handful of sand and threw it on their heads.

Similarly, there are many ahadeeth that mention recitation of a particular dua for a particular ailment. So there is nothing wrong in compiling all the ayat used for treatment in one booklet, and naming it as Manzil.
And since there is no Shar'i ruling (Sunnah/Mustahab/Fardh etc) associated with the recitation of Manzil, there is no need to prove it from the Nass (Religious texts). You may read it if you find it beneficial, or leave it.

Wallahu A'lam

[The Ruler]

if you wish to believe that ridiculous story of the prophet being 'bewitched' go ahead, but the qur'an says:
((We know best why it is they listen, when they listen to thee; and when they meet in private conference, behold, the wicked say, "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched!"))
Yusuf Ali, surah 17:AL Isra', verse 47.

the verse clearly shows that it is the allegation of 'the wicked' that the prophet was/is bewitched, a bewitched person-particularly as the supposed hadeeth says-is one afflicted with seeing things that are not, and believing oneself to have done an act while not having done it.

I don't think that the Ayah is referring to the time when the Prophet (saw) was under a... curse (?). But instead, it's referring to how the members of the Quraish and the other disbelievers thought that he (saw) was a man possessed. This is significantly different to the time the Prophet (saw) was afflicted by 'black magic'.

we take our religion form the Qur'an and the correct sunnah, not scholars of the past regardless of their precieved brilliance or not.

Yes, we do. But we can't all have our own interpretations of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. And that is where the 'brilliant scholars of the past and present', as Alpha put it, comes in.

Yusuf Ali, surah 17:AL Isra', verse 47.

Bro, you are taking the verse out of context here. As RULER said above, this verse answers the Quraish's allegation that the Prophet was a soothsayer, or mad, or affected by Jinn or magic.You can check, Surah Al-Isra is Makkaiyyah, ie revealed in Makkah, and the Prophet was affected by magic when he was in Madinah.
Read the Tafsir of Mu'awwizatain, Surah Al-Falaq, and Surah An-Naas, you will understand why these two surah were revealed and how the knots tied by that jew, Labid ibn Asim were opening on each verse.
This has been narrated by tawatur (more frequency) in tafsir, Hadeeth, and books of Seerah, it can not be denied.

there are others but this one should suffice, and the story of prophet Moses is not in contradiction with this, the verses say:
((They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?"
He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods-so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion!))
Yusuf Ali, surah 20:Ta-Ha, verses 65,66.

it seemed to him, not that the rods and ropes actually moved, rather it was sleigh of hand. so magic does not have affects as strong as actually changing the state of objects or moving them etc.

Yes, magic can not change the actual state of things. It just appears to be different. And if it is done on humans or animals, they can feel the effect and pain, as our Prophet Sallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam felt the effect and pain.

as for reading verses and prayers in a certain sequence with the belief that they actually have an affect that was not stated by the prophet or the qur'an, this is bid'a/innovation.

Alpha has answered this already. The sequence of Ayat in Manzil is based on their occurrence in the Quran. If it was contradictory to that, then the scholars would surely have objected, unless there was valid proof.
But I think, even if you read it in any order, the effect will be same, because they are just ayat from the Quran. You find these ayat, with additions and subtractions, in many books on Ruqya, even by classical scholars.
Have you read Al-Azkar by Imam Nawawi (RA)? It has got a lot of Dua(s) which you might have never heard at all.

 

[coddles76]

Have complete trust in Allah, none has the power to do anything except Him. La Hawla wala Quwwata illa billah There is no might nor power except with Allah.

"…If the whole nation were to gather together to benefit you they would only benefit you with that which Allaah had already written for you and if the whole nation were to gather to harm you they could only harm you with that which Allaah had already written to harm you. The pen has been lifted and the ink has dried (a phrase meaning: everything has been decreed or settled)". [At-Tirmithi]

btw, recite Ayat-Al-Kursi after every prayer, and be punctual in Fajr because:

Muslim (657) narrated that Jundub ibn ‘Abd-Allaah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever prays Fajr is under the protection of Allaah, so do not fall short with regard to the rights of Allaah, for anyone who does that, Allaah will seize him and will throw him on his face into the Fire of Hell.”

Very good advice!

Assalamu Alaikum,

Dear Muslim friend. Have faith in Allah. Recite Surah Yaseen 7 times, obviously have Wudu and Stanja before reading it. Switch yourself away from everything and everyone when doing this.
After reading it, close your eyes and picture your neighbours (the whole family, one by one) and blow out on their faces whilst eyes closed.
insha'Allah they will not be able to do any Black Magic non sense on you.
As a matter of fact their magic will start harming them. And insha'Allah Allah will remove them from that place IF they actually meant harm for you and your family.
May Allah be with you.
