| Question: Can the various verses
of the Qur’a#n be used to write
a Ta‘wi#dh (charm)? Do they really
have any good or bad effects?
Answer: We find no mention in the original sources of Islam about some effects of certain verses on a person who wears them in the form of a Ta‘wi#dh. If some verses have these effects, the Qur’a#n would have clearly stated so. On the contrary, it is explicit that the sole purpose of its verses is to guide mankind (See for example 2:185). Therefore, one should avoid using the Qur’a#n for purposes which it does not mention. Using it as a charm will only open the door to superstition, and superstition is something which really makes a person suffer spiritually since it drives him away from the Almighty while he himself remains in the deception of moving closer to Him. |
