Description :
There are certain people in our time who declare things to be haram (unlawful) even though those things have been deemed permissible in shari'ah (Islamic Law). One such thing is the use of amulets. It is shocking that some groups of people have started calling the use of amulets as haram (unlawful) and shirk (ascribing a partner to Allah the Almighty).
Allah Almighty clearly forbids making things permissible or forbidden based on ones whims' and desire. This book is an attempt to present a true picture regarding the permissibility of the use of amulets.
There is a consensus (ijma) of Islamic scholars on the permissibilty of using amulets containing verses from the Qur'an and Sunnah. Sufficient evidence has been provided for those who want to know the truth of the matter. It is high time that those sects which have gone astray from the Ahl as-Sunnah w'al-Jama'ah stop being tools in the hands of the enemies of Islam by causing disagreement on every issue.
