00:00:00.000 notice something that was wrong with the way he was moving around and praying and
00:00:03.600 capture this man by pinning him to the ground.
00:00:08.700 I've done the seven-day free trial of the Qur'ani app and it exceeded all my
00:00:12.100 expectations. Brothers and sisters, you can build a habit with the Qur'an by
00:00:16.200 seven-day free trial. No credit card details required at all. And you decide
00:00:20.100 for yourself, is it overrated or is it underrated?
00:00:23.500 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear
00:00:26.000 friends, hope you guys are well inshaAllah. So I thought I'll change up the
00:00:27.900 setup of it, inshaAllah. Inspired by Brother Ismail to Jamil Azizha. May Allah bless him, inshaAllah.
00:00:33.200 He's collecting some money for Patreon to help him have an editor. Please go
00:00:36.400 check that out as well, inshaAllah. May Allah bless him. He inspires us to, you
00:00:39.100 know, improve our setup. But today's video was actually very serious. And I saw
00:00:44.600 this video. It actually came across me and I was like, ah, you know, I wasn't
00:00:47.900 feeling to do any videos. I'll be honest with you. But when I saw it, I was like, it's
00:00:50.200 so profound. Let's watch this video. This is a video of a magician in the Kaaba, in
00:00:55.000 Mecca, the holy land, where Tawheed, it's a land of Tawheed. And he attempts magic. This
00:01:03.500 is the video. Let's watch it for ourselves and we'll be back.
00:01:06.000 Sent shivers down everyone's spine in Saudi Arabia. A man was found practicing black 0.77
00:01:10.400 magic inside Majid al-Haram during Ramzan and quite close to the Kaaba. He was with
00:01:14.700 his wife and they were wearing an iram to disguise themselves among the normal
00:01:17.600 worshippers. The authorities noticed something that was wrong with the way he was moving around
00:01:22.500 and praying and captured this man by pinning him to the ground. They searched him up and
00:01:26.700 down and confiscated some unknown materials from it. Shockingly, they found tied knots
00:01:31.960 with spells laced on it and together with an unknown religious figure to help them, they
00:01:36.280 proceeded to untie the knots and cut it with a knife to release the spells. They did all
00:01:40.680 of this whilst reciting holy verses from the Quran to protect them. The Saudi Arabian authorities
00:01:45.340 took him in but no one really knows what happened to him after that and there isn't an update.
00:01:49.360 All we know is that according to Saudi Arabian law, witchcraft is punishable by death.
00:01:54.760 So as you guys saw there, the guards realised that he was doing something a bit ajeeb, didn't 0.99
00:02:00.160 seem ordinary. The way he was praying maybe, the way he was moving and the people that he
00:02:05.280 was with. Now if you notice very clearly on the video, which you can see on my left, is
00:02:09.500 that the people, probably they got some scholars who came and they recited Quran, Surah Baqarah,
00:02:16.760 whatever it may be and they started cutting it up. And one thing that you would notice is
00:02:19.920 that these things have knots. They always have a lot of knots, knots, knots, knots. And
00:02:23.720 this is how they do magic. I was doing a bit of research on YouTube, just looking around.
00:02:28.720 There's even a tutorial of someone, actually a woman, it looks like a Hindu woman who is
00:02:32.320 actually teaching you how to do these. And this is very ajeeb and strange, you know, that
00:02:37.220 you cast a spell and you do the knot, etc. Strangly enough, at the time of the Prophet peace be upon 0.57
00:02:41.320 him, the Prophet was actually attacked by sihr. Now some of you guys might hear this and be like,
00:02:46.920 what? The message of God? How could he be affected by sihr? Very important key things 0.97
00:02:50.680 that we need to learn in this video, brothers and sisters. The Prophet, yes, was the message
00:02:55.160 of Allah, the best man to walk this earth, a mercy to mankind. But the things, the trials
00:03:00.040 he went through is also for us to learn as human beings, because you need to understand he was
00:03:04.360 also a human being. There is decisions that he made that were not wahi. There was the decisions
00:03:09.480 that he made that sometimes the companions would introduce an idea which might be something that Allah,
00:03:16.520 subhanahu wa ta'ala, for example, picked as well. For example, Umar al-Khattab when he came to the
00:03:20.440 Battle of Badr, letting go of the captives, etc. So the human element is there. And anyone who
00:03:27.560 thinks that the Prophet, this cannot happen to the messenger of God, etc., from what I know,
00:03:32.680 this is basically people of innovation who declare, no, impossible, no, Allah teaches this lesson.
00:03:37.560 And one lesson that I believe by doing Tadabur, thinking about this, is that the Prophet, peace be
00:03:42.760 upon him, the reason why these things happen, and maybe why Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:03:47.560 has caused certain things to happen to the Prophet, peace be upon him, is so we do not glorify him 1.00
00:03:52.920 to the level where the people of the book, the Christians, did with Jesus, peace be upon him,
00:03:57.640 that they have now deified him, or call him the son of God, or he's some part of a God, etc.,
00:04:03.080 is to show us the human side. Because when we speak to the Christians, what do they tell us? 1.00
00:04:06.680 They tell us, oh, but Christians, I mean, Jesus was sinless. He was sinless. They keep talking about 0.79
00:04:11.320 his sin, etc. We believe all the Prophets of God Almighty, they are innocent. The point I'm trying
00:04:18.440 to make here is that it's that we do not fall into that. And even though in today's time,
00:04:23.480 we still have people that look at the Prophet, and even go to his graves and ask him directly for
00:04:30.360 things that they want. This could be a lesson. Maybe the hikmah behind it is that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, 0.89
00:04:35.480 is teaching us that the Messenger of Allah, he's the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
00:04:40.600 however, he's also a human being. That's one thing that we can take from this video.
00:04:45.880 Secondly, when it comes to the issue of sehr and magic, etc., you need to understand,
00:04:50.200 this person to travel to Mecca and do this shows you that these creatures, these beings,
00:04:55.560 these jinns or shayateen, whoever they may be, they ask you to do things that are on levels, 0.91
00:05:00.680 on tabaqa, they're on levels. The worse that you do, the more doors they open for you, 1.00
00:05:04.440 and they work for you, etc. Obviously, the aim is for you to commit shirk,
00:05:07.880 khafar, because there's a hadith of the Prophet, peace be upon him, which says,
00:05:10.920 by Abdullah bin Masud, that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
00:05:15.080 verily spells, amulets, and charms are acts of idolatry. Okay, so brothers and sisters,
00:05:20.520 like even spells, like for example, magic sihr, because you will be, yes, it will open the doors
00:05:26.040 for you to the unseen and certain things that you might be able to see, but it will come at the cost
00:05:30.920 of disbelief. It is not worth it. That might be the reason why this man traveled all the way there,
00:05:36.280 all the way there, just to do that in the Holy Land. God knows what these jinns promised him, 0.99
00:05:41.160 God knows, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows best. But how do we deal with the issue of sihr? 0.97
00:05:46.440 In Surah Baqarah verse 102, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala directly talks about this,
00:05:49.720 and there are some lessons we can take from this. So let's read it. So it says they instead
00:05:54.280 follow the magic promoted by the devils during the reign of Solomon. Never did Solomon disbelieve,
00:05:59.240 rather the devils disbelieve. So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is rebuking the Bible and certain 0.97
00:06:03.000 individuals who claim that Sulaiman a.s. is the one who did magic or taught magic, yeah,
00:06:09.800 which is a lie. Allah is defending the honor of the Prophet of Allah. Rather the devils disbelieve.
00:06:15.560 They taught magic to the people along, along with what had been revealed to the two angels,
00:06:20.840 Harut and Marut. These are the two angels that came down. Okay, so okay, so in Babylon,
00:06:26.440 the two angels never taught anyone without saying were only a test for you. So do not abandon your
00:06:32.680 faith. Yet people learned magic that caused the rift between husband and wife. Sihir is one main 0.55
00:06:39.320 element is useful is to divide husband and wife. Although their magic could not harm anyone except by
00:06:44.280 Allah's will. They learned what harmed them and what did not benefit them. Although they already
00:06:49.240 knew that whoever buys into the magic would have no share in the hereafter. Like for example,
00:06:54.360 I asked my teacher this. I said, Shaykh, why would the angels come and teach magic? So my teacher said
00:06:59.000 to me, if you think about it, he said, why is there alcohol? Why is there certain things Allah subhanahu wa
00:07:02.680 ta'ala has placed on the earth? Why? Because it is there as a test for you. We can't come and say, 1.00
00:07:07.640 okay, if Allah wants me to stay away from alcohol, why is there alcohol? What's the point of the test? Of course,
00:07:12.200 it's going to be there. And there's going to be certain things that's going to tempt you. But the
00:07:15.480 angels made it very clear. Do not do it. Do not let go of your faith. And what did they do? They
00:07:21.080 did the opposite. So guys, I don't want to long this video up that much. What you saw there is
00:07:26.440 disturbing. And there are people that will go to these lengths to do this. However, the point we're
00:07:30.600 trying to make, brothers and sisters, is protect yourself. Because just one thing that I forgot to
00:07:34.280 mention, when the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was attacked by Sihir, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 0.98
00:07:40.040 sen, surah falq, and surah na'as. And if you recite these two surahs, it will protect you with ayat
00:07:46.440 al-qursi and doing your adhkar in the morning and evening, inshallah. You can recite surah falq.
00:07:51.160 za'udhu bin nah min ash sequeldini. Urr prohibepin rahim al-rahim.
00:07:54.560 Qul awuzu bireb bil
00:07:56.620 Min shah ma halak wa 0.97
00:08:02.760 Min shah ma haasi mog 0.98
00:08:03.700 Min shah 0.93
00:08:06.240 Min shah 0.93
00:08:12.680 And I'll leave you with that.
00:08:41.020 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
