In simple words, taweez is an amulet-mascot. Its name comes from the Arabic word tawidh. In religious terminology, it means 'effective prayer'. All success comes from Allah, and these items are a connection with the spiritual world, a written petition to God to send his servants to help us in a complicated situation. The taweez is a handwritten amulet, prepared by a learned practitioner and is not the same as mass-produced taweez lockets or jewelry containers sold on marketplaces.
The first mention of the term 'taweez' is in the fundamental book Shamsul Al-Maarif ( the Great Sun of Gnosis), written by the sufi Ahmed Al-Buni. Yet, these amulets were used even in pre-Islamic times among the Arab tribes.
In different countries, these islamic talismans has different names. In Turkey people call them vefk or muska, in Iran and Afghanistan - naqsh, in Indonesia - azimat or wafaq in Philippines, gris-gris in Africa.
But their common is that they are made according to the ancient rules of the tasawwuf and sufism. In India are made a lot of hindu taweez, which incorporate the hindu belief system.The person who is preparing the item is better to be a Sufi because the Sufis have the best hikmah (or knowledge of wisdom) to make it.
Because as the great Al-Buni says in his books: "The one who knows and controls the power of the islamic talisman with its compressed energy can change the whole world. Some things must remain secret!'
There is a widespread opinion that only muslims can wear these amulets, which is not true. Thousands of people all over the world are using them and can be worn by anyone. No matter if he is a Muslim or not, no matter his ethnic group or his gender, because Allah loves every human being.
1. Allah describes the Quran as a "Shifa" (cure). The words of Allah have so much power and force that they cure people from their physical and spiritual illnesses. Allah Almighty says in the Quran, "We send down in Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers" (17:82)
2. Allama Alusi al-Hanafi, in his Tafsir of the Quran, writes: "According to Imam Malik It is permitted to put around the neck the taweez written with the name of Allah. Imam Baqir also stated that it is permitted to put such a taweez around the neck of a child" [Rooh-ul-Maani, chapter 15 under verse 97 of Surah Muminoon]
3. Imam al-Qurtubi wrote: "The taweez, which are permitted are those written with duas evidently from Quran and hadith only"
4. Fatawa al-Hindiyya (one of the primary references in the Hanafi school) : "There is nothing wrong with hanging taweez, but one should take them off before going to the toilet and before intercourse." [5.356]
5. Musannaf of Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba, the permissibility of hanging a taweez is reported from many of the Companions and early Muslims (Salaf), including: Said ibn al-Musayyib, Ata, Mujahid, Abd Allah ibn Amr, Ibn Sirin, Abayd Allah ibn Abd Allah ibn Umar, and others. [Musannaf, 5.439]
6. The great Hanafi Jurist, Imam Ibn Abidin states: "Using of Taweez will not be permissible if they are written in a non-Arabic language."
7. Hafidh ibn Kathir and Qadi Shawkani wrote that "Amr Ibn Shuaib says, that RasoolAllah taught my Father and grandFather a Dua which we would read before going to sleep, to protect us from fear. We told our elder children to recite this Dua before going to sleep as well. But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around their necks.
[Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal vol.2, Abu Dawud in Chapter of Medicine]
8. Allama Shami Hanafi writes that "it is permitted to write a Ta’weez and put it around the neck." [Rud-ul-Mukhtar chapter Qirat, Sharah Sahih Muslim chapter on Tib by Allama Sa’idi].
9. Imam Ibn Taymiya writes in his Fatawa that hanging or wearing of amulets - taweez is normally permissible.
10. Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have mentioned a certain Dua that should be written and placed close to the woman who is experiencing hard labour at the time of giving birth.
11. Sayyiduna Ali says: This Dua should be written and tied to the arm of the woman. We have experienced that there is nothing more amazing than this” (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya, 19/65).
12. Imam Ibn al-Qayyim also narrates the permissibility of using Ta’wizes from a number of salafs including the great Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Allah have mercy on him). Thereafter Ibn al-Qayyim himself quotes various Ta’wizes (Zad al-Ma’ad, 3/180).
13. Abu Basheer said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) sent a messenger ordering: There shall not remain any necklace of string or any other kind of necklace round the necks of camels except it is cut off" - Reported by Al-Bukhari in book of Jihaad, no. 3005 and Abu Dawud.Note - the camels, not the humans!
14. Ibn Abi Shaybah transmitted in his Musannaf also transmitted from Abu ‘Ismah: he said, ‘I asked Sa’id ibn al-Musayyab about ta’widh and he said: ‘there is no harm when it is on leather.’ And he transmitted from Mujahid that he would write ta’widh for people and hang it on them.
15. Shaykh Sulaymaan ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab said: ‘Know that the scholars among the Sahaabah and Taabi’een and those who came after them differed as to whether it is permissible to hang up amulets which only contain words from the Qur’aan or names and attributes of Allah.’
16. Humayd ibn Qays al Makki said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with the two sons of Jafar ibn Abi Talib. He said to their nursemaid, 'Why do I see them so thin?' Their nursemaid said, 'Messenger of Allah, the evil eye goes quickly to them. Nothing stops us from asking someone to make talismans for them, except that we do not know what of that would agree with you.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Make talismans for them. Had anything been able to precede the decree, the evil eye would precede it.'
17. Every taveez which contains any of Allah (SWT) names or the name of prophet Muhammad cannot be haram because these names are holy!
18. Some people are saying that wearing a twine is also shirk - ok, but the maulana also wear a twine in the form of rosary?
19. A lot of people speak about the squares and numbers in some of the amulets. The numbers represent letters from the Arabic alphabet–the knowledge known as 'ilm al-huruf'. And the people who don't know their meaning, because of their lack of knowledge, believe they are shirk (idolatry) or kufr ( disbelief). But isn’t it the same if you write "two thousand and twenty" or "2020"?
20. But most importantly - where in the Quran is written something against taweez? Where is the ban on them? Check it! You won't find even a single word! Doesn't Allah want us to be happy? To live a life full of joy, health, and abundance? He wants it, of course! And you cannot imagine what lucky people we are, that we got this opportunity to live happy life and just to lose it!
And finally, here is one article about the benefits of these talismans :
Taweez may heal physically, spiritually
Nowadays people are using them for solving different problems in everyday life.
Protection from evil, finding soulmate, return of ex back, luck, career promotion, success in business and life, harmony in family, health issues and blessings. There are no boundaries for their use.
There are hundreds of types, but they could be put in some main categories:
There are so many more types and subtypes that the great mystic researcher Al-Toukhi says:"I tried to categorise all the ancient talismans and amulets and became almost insane."
Each taweez must be handwritten with saffron ink specifically for the recipient.
Usually, they are written on white paper. The ones for good purposes have to be written with special spiritual (ruhani) ink, made of high quality saffron, resins and dyes from different trees, etc. The taweez for bad purposes are written with black (tar) ink.
The rule is to write every amulet only in arabic language and in exact hour and day of the arabic month. You have to recite certain text on it for exact amount of times to empower it. Meanwhile evaporate combination of special frankincenses. The frankincenses must be resins like olibanum, arabic gum, mastic, asafoetida, benzoe, etc.
People know the islamic talismans by their traditional triangular shape. The paper is folded in a very special way, but we found that there is no difference if it is triangular or square. And some peers made them in a form of circle.
On the paper are usually written some of the Allah names. The person who is making it, has to know the whole Asma ul-Husna (the 99 names of Allah) and its benefits.
Usually, these names are written with their numerical value in the form of a square.
Sometimes, whole verses from the Quran are also written.
For some of the items, a special mathematical calculations are made. Other times, special symbols are included - signs of planets, names of different angels or djinns.
As we already wrote - a dhikr must be made on the item. This is the most important part of creating the item. This is the way of empowering the item. Without it - it is like a child drawing. Sometimes dhikr can take a whole day or more. A full concentration and dedication is needed for this hard task in almost trance state.
Most of the taweez must be worn by the person for whom they are made. They can be put in the home or office, but the health ones are mainly made for dissolving and drinking by the ill person. Some handwritten tawidh for love or to get ex back are hung on trees or heated in an oven. Others are buried in graves, or put under house thresholds or under beds.
