Quran is a book of white magic.

"for every people there is a guide" is in context of what? It's in context of the sign sought, which is context of miracles. The Quran says every people have a guide who can perform live miracles and bring such a sign. Contextually, that is what "and for every people there is a guide" means. And the Quran also talked about a witness from every people and called that witness their leader in Suratal Isra.

The question where is he now. Well Quran says nothing prevented God from sending (a person) with signs at any given time, except the first people rejected them (the signs and miracles). This is exactly what happened in Islamic history, except the signs were recorded as Karamat by Sunni books but on the most part, anyone reporting these from people, would be claimed to be an extremist Shiite and rejecter of Abu Bakr and Umar, and would be jailed, maimed, or oppressed in some form or matter, or if not, his hadiths not accepted, and most probably would face some sort of hardship. To remove this hardship or not destroy humanity and save the believers, God hid the Mahdi (a) just as he raised Jesus (a) to the sky and left Elyas (a) on earth but hidden till Mohammad (s).

However, there is never a time, when we have no access to all 4 type of proofs (ayat) talked about in Quran, the only difference now, is we have to pray to God to meet Imam (a), but if we have faith it will happen, and one of the requirements is of course we don't reveal what he tells us if he meets us because we will appear to be liars in public, just as Shiites appeared like that to masses when they claimed Imams (a) did miracles.

[Shakir 7:200] And if a false imputation from the Shaitan afflict you, seek refuge in Allah; surely He is Hearing, Knowing.
[Shakir 7:201] Surely those who guard (against evil), when a visitation from the Shaitan afflicts them they become mindful, then lo! they see.
[Shakir 7:202] And their brethren increase them in error, then they cease not.
[Shakir 7:203] And when you bring them not a revelation they say: Why do you not forge it? Say: I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord; these are clear proofs from your Lord and a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.

We saw in the prayer against Satan I shared earlier, the following among other things was referred to:

1. Barriers
2. Weapons against him.
3. Planning against him and outwitting him.

We can see Adam (a) was first tricked, but, over time, he gained more intelligence in form of wittiness by trusting God and repenting to Him. From this perspective, the leaves from the garden most probably refers to putting up a barrier after sins. This is important, lest our sins darken our hearts and defeat it.

Adam (a) was foolish when he forgot God and turned to a false direction, but he wasn't insincere or untrue to himself. Even though foolish, his chosen status was not diminished, because he learned from it and turned back to God.

And don't get me wrong, Iblis is quite the trickster, but we can outsmart him, if we learn from our mistakes.

The following is a prayer that is attributed to Imam Ali (a), he taught the following prayer, and I will bold the part about magic:

O Allah I beseech You by that name which is preserved in the hidden treasurers,
which is the greatest and the most important, Proof, Truth, Protector, Pure, which is light and is from light.
It's light is with the light, and that light is above all lights, light filled with lights, brightness in brightness.
That light by which all the darkness was illuminated/shined, which destroyed all the compellers which could not be controlled by the Heavens or the Earth.
O He through whom the fear of a fearful can be averted, the magic of the magician be cast away,
the conspiracy of consipiror can be void, the jealousy of every jealous be finished, the rebellion of every rebel is stopped,

in Presence of His Greatness the mountain the dryness, the wetness split open
and if spoken then the Angels protect and if written on a ship and left then the stormy waves cannot reach it,
with it every transgressor and enemy and disobedient devil is controlled and it is Your Majestic and Greatest name which You have used for Yourself,
by which You are on the Holy Throne and on Your Exalted chair.
O Allah who is Greater and the Greatest,
O Allah the honoured light unparalled Greater of the Heavens and the Earth.
O Lord of Majesty and Generosity I beseech You by Your Honour and Your Majesty and Your Power and Your Abundance and by the Position of Mohammad and his pure family(s.a.w.a.).
I supplicate to You by You and by Mohammad and his family that send blessings on Mohammad and his family and free me,
and my parents and the believing men and the believing women from the fire of Hell
and send blessings on Mohammad and his family.
Surely You are the Praised the Glorious.

Imam Zainal Abideen (a) was chosen out of all creation to teach all us how to pray to God. Use his prayers, they will heal the falsehood of the Jibt and Taghut, and defeat all lies of psychology and mental health propaganda.

I will be showing some of his prayers in this regard.

This is a prayer from Imam Jaffar As-Sadiq (a) but I will be showing the style of Imam Zainal Abideen (a) as well, with regards to repenting from sins, especially.


We see here, the skills I mentioned all are found there.

Posted in another thread but relevant to here:

It's fair to say, since there is a huge distinction on the power of Prophets and sorcery, to understand why one can display miracles in form of proofs while the latter can't, we need to understand what both are.

This is what I mean, it takes ALOT of reasoning to see why miracles are proof. But intuitively, if we say Prophets (s) must display this power if not false, it comes from knowledge intuitively that is a proof if they do perform it.

But why is this intuitive. It comes from believe in God and his power and that being the truth, while the other type of magic, is based on illusion and falsehood.

So while Jesus (a) can create a bird and blow into it a spirit, and bring a dead back to living, sorcerers cannot have such powers, because they aren't delegated sustenance from God.

Anyone with goodness (ie. sustained by God) to the degree of the power able to split the moon while keep the earth and oceans intact and no consequence or shine a light from their hand in the case so bright yet doesn't harm the eyes, these are clear proofs.

Moses' displayed brightness from his hand in form of light yet it was without evil, no harm to the eyes. The translation of white, is wrong. This is a miracle and this when truth was apparent.

The first snake from a stick was a miracle, but because illusionary or hallucinations appeared in people's eyes that dispelled by the snake, and it showed them to be illusions, but people can say whatever if Moses' is just causing us to hallucinate, this became more and more impossible, miracle by miracle, including his hand starting as a small light to a brightness that was so bright that there eyes would've hurt but there was no evil out of it.

And so the truth was apparent. But God keeps bringing greater proofs.

And a difference between peak of Demonic powers from viewpoint of being possessed and demons doing it, is that for example around 5-12 hours, a Jinn pledged he can bring a throne, perhaps him and others with him, can do it together, but the one who had knowledge from the book which I believe was Elyas (a), was able to bring in a twinkle of an eye.

Solomon (a) wanted to show there is a huge difference between magic and demons who he controlled and what they can do under an evil person, and what he himself had power of, but allowed Elyas (a) who his whole knowledge was from the book, to do it, to display also who would be his successor.

Anyways, while subtle, you can say what's the difference between moving a throne in 5-12 hours, to, a twinkle of an eye, well it's the former, we can see demons together doing it, it's not impossible that creatures hiddenly exist with such powers, but would God delegate twinkle of an eye teleportation to even evil creatures and how would they have such power?

Such power wouldn't be delegated to evil people. And so this is what I mean. You have to see it from the vantage point that God is rational, good, and wants to stay as King and control of people to submit to him, for miracles to make sense as proof.

Otherwise, if imaginations run while, yes fiction can assume immense evil power.

More will be said on this topic, but the other way to see it, is to know of dark magic. After all, it was the sorcerers who believed in Moses' because they know limits of what magic can achieve having been experts themselves.

So while people say don't learn magic, I say don't do harm with it, but rather learn it, so you can know how dispel the harms by God's Name and honorable sustenance and his sword and light and that you can see the difference between God's power and illusions and know the limitations of the power of Iblis and his forces.

Consequently you will be attacked by them if you go research with this intention, but, do so anyways relying on God. This way, you know when God's appointed light and guide opens doors to the sky, you know the difference between true sky and illusionary magic world they call to.

Astral projection I've done it a couple of times and see what I look like there, this is not the same as the illiyin and sky that Mohammad (s) can connect you to. Mohammad (s) and his family (a) can connect us and bring us with a ladder to the sky, if we follow them, and bring a clear proof.

This is nothing like the astral projection world, and I know both well enough.
 
"
Jiu-Jitsu translated from Japanese means 'yielding technique'. Knowing how to yield to an opponent's attacks and then use timing to subvert them is truly a thing of beauty. An old-school judoka once spoke to me of an experience training with a master. He said that it seemed like he was 'fighting an empty jacket'. He felt that all of his own movements were ineffective and awkward in comparison. Every time he initiated an attack he met nothing but empty space before being swiftly thrown. To me, this style is the most beautiful of all. Nothing satisfies me more than becoming the 'empty jacket' during my own jiu-jitsu experiences. Smashing guys in competition or grinding through somebody's guard doesn't interest me. Being able to move with such perfect coordination and balance that my opponent feels like I'm reading his mind is what I'm striving for. This allows me to focus on the process instead of the goal, which in turn brings me into the present moment, where my jiu-jitsu is always at its best.
Presence and Perception
Jiu-Jitsu, by its very nature, destroys delusion.
Life is Jiu-Jitsu
It's my belief that the highest level of jiu-jitsu is encountered off the mat. Life is just one big jiu-jitsu match. Perhaps the biggest gift I received from my involvement with the art is the ability to identify and apply this understanding. A favourite film of mine is 'Peaceful Warrior'. It's about an arrogant young gymnast, Dan, who struggles to overcome his fears and ego. He meets an old man named Socrates who becomes his mentor. In one scene, Socrates says to Dan 'Do you know what's the difference between me and you? You practise gymnastics, I practise everything!' Jiu-Jitsu taught me to practise everything. It showed me that there are superior ways to do just about anything in life, whether it be relating to people, walking up a flight of stairs or even just breathing. I move through the world in a completely different way now. " - N. Gregoriades

Check this out!

Might be nice for this thread!


I will later... Abjad letters seems to be a way like Tarrot cards to me or dangerous territory, I don't believe in that line of thought of predicting future, and I believe future is unwritten, not even God knows the future, however, Satanic forces are good at sealing humans and defining their fate so far, so their predictions tend to come true for that reason only. That is why Tarrot cards have a high probability of turning out true.

It can be said, the rope of God is a way of untying the fate that Satanic forces try to set us upon.

God been trying to change the probable fate of humans, for a long time, but seems, we heading towards our final test in the wrong way, and will fail the trial like Noah's people did and many cities will be destroyed or punished severely, with few believers from each. But while there is still time, I will try my best to become part of God's plan and change the trajectory we are upon.

The reason why Gemini etc, all that stuff work, is very few can outstrip the personality traits set by Satanic forces. The moon schedule is meant to counter spell it, and moon magic in terms of month, the moon itself that is and it's noble spirit, is suppose to counter the magic of Iblis forces with solar calendar.

And as for Istekhara, seeking it from reflecting over Quran and finding a proof, is the proper means. Not opening Quran literally as in a physical book and a verse pops out, and you make a decision on that, as the same divine arrows type thing where Satan interferes. This is one of the major disagreements I have with my mother, because people seek my mother out for the practice that I believe is not only a wrong interpretation and innovation, but is a means of Satan wreaking havoc into other people's lives.

Totally, any kind of "whatever is said by chance and however I interpret it" or even "whatever my heart whispers to me or pops into my mind" are pretty dangerous ideas, totally easy for bad people or anything to cause harm and confusion by, and also because people themselves are often foolish and following their lusts.

The only right way probably is to be cautious in everything, using clear reasoning, taking everything with a "grain of salt" and never too deadly seriously or overly convinced about actions that must be taken, but working on clear, cautious, stable, explicable reasoning that has worked out things in a clear manner that "this is a way that may be beneficial because this, this, and this, and if one makes this to remind them of this or makes this to mean this it can lead to this consideration" etc.

What does your mother do and how does she consult people?

I haven't seen the lecture I posted yet, but it appears that it is a world class academic lecture on the history of "Islamic Magic" practices they had been doing a lot in the centuries prior, and there are probably remnants widespread today, plus a lot of Islamic content influenced both Jewish and Christian and then post-Christian Occultism.

Unfortunately, a lot of people use and had apparently used these things to create systems, models, and concepts which implied a plurality of various powers separated from Allah's control which were being called upon, as Angels, Jinns, Demons, Saints or whatever but imagined to be under the Rulership and Ultimate and Eventual Judgment of a more remote and less encompassing and less abstract Allah that resides on a certain plane of existence above all others, a cosmology not dissimilar to Indian, Jain, and Buddhist ideas of a bottom to top layered cosmography, and then also a spherical one with increasing condensation and reductions in size.

The people of the past frequently would call upon the help of other beings, feeling that God is too remote and mighty to be prayed too directly and for petty things considered below Allah to become involved in. The other idea was that the saints or angels who have an audience with God in the manner of a King and courtiers who bring issues to the King as representatives or advocates for various causes and are also sent on missions. This sort of scene was also depicted in the Biblical scriptures at times and was likely what people took from the idea of an assembly of angels being spoken to, since this sort of organization of government was very common through most of the world's cultures.

These would qualify as "intercessors" except were believed to have "permission" or that they could not interfere with decrees but could make appeals or bolster the case based on favoritism from Allah or their merit.

These sorts of beliefs were widespread throughout the whole Islamic world as well as common among all the other religions as well, and pure, strict, monotheism was never very common among any group of people, and is very likely the minority even among officially monotheistic religions.

So even though these were all called Muslims, Christians, Jews, and whatever else, their beliefs and practices and more specifically their conceptualization may have been vastly different, individual to individual.

In my version of things, there is strictly only Allah being called upon and "used" as the means by which any experience comes about, and can freely make any system appear to be true, or any strange thing appear to happen or be the reality or even how people end up interpreting such.

Allah has created an experience for some, or possibly even most, where conflict and combat is necessary and has armed people by filling the Qur'an with certain ideas, policies, and prayers by which one may petition Allah for protection and strike out at unseen threats and enemies.

I know from real experience and finding evidence of such, the sort of shocking scheming people do for the pettiest of reasons.

Look at this terrifying example of some young girl calmy using her influence to organize harm against an online competitor.


If they can do this about the pettiest trash (and I've seen pettier assaults and lies spread about me and in other places) then imagine the things that go on for much more serious threats or when money or commerce or the status quo is threatened or people become jealous about the attention someone else is getting. Which is why I really dislike humans quite a bit.

Unfortunately, they are all we have to communicate with and get some small, fickle, fleeting, cooperation out of ocassionally.

Thank you! I got to get back to this topic:

From now I don't talk from the context of magic/sorcery from neutral context, but Arabic Quran context, and so I will refer to white magic as the truth from God and guidance and power and sustenance from him, while sorcery refers to simple wrong usage and sources of magic though they can perform some things like make a golden cow move, it's not the power the Prophets (s) had nor their path.

That said:

Suratal Baqara and it's place in defeating dark magic.

The heart of defeating the sorcery is in the beginning of Suratal Baqarah, and it's the phrase "they believe in that which is hidden", and then the Surah expounds on this, but no doubt, it's not about believing the sorcery and it's deception, but to disbelieve in what it calls to (the Taghut) and believe in God by holding to his handhold, while his handhold and chair extends over everything in the universe and the earth and skies themselves. Ayatul Kursi is the peak of Quran but only due to the foundation of "they believe in that which is hidden" in the Surah makes it go to that peak.
