The Third Major Sin - Practicing Magic*.

Magicians are necessarily unbelievers. Allah (swt) says in the Quran :

“But the evil ones (Shayateen) disbelieved, teaching the people magic…” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102)

The purpose of the evil ones in teaching people magic is to lead them into polytheism. Informing us about Harut and Marut, ( the two angels sent to Babylon to test people by teaching them magic), Allah Most High says:

“But neither of these taught anyone (such magic) until they had said: ‘ We are only a test, so do not disbelieve! ‘ They (the people) learned from the two of them what would cause discord between a man and his wife. But they could not harm anyone by it except by Allah’s leave. And they (the people) learned what harmed them and not what benefited them. And they knew that anyone who deals in it (magic) would have no share in the Next.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102)

We see many people learning magic, imagining that it is merely prohibited, but ignorant of the fact that it constitutes unbelief (Kufr). They learn how to charm, which is a form of magic through which people’s eyes are deceived so that they see something which is not really there, or which is used to produce love in a man’s heart for his wife, as likewise hatred, and to chant certain words, most of which imply polytheism.

“Today America is the home of an interesting assortment of sins that are handpicked from all over the nations that existed before us: the obstinacy of the people of Nuh; the arrogance of the people of Aad; the rejection of Allah’s signs by the people of Thamud; the sodomy of the people of Lut; the financial deviance of the people of Shuayb as America is the biggest dealer and promoter of the interest based economy; the oppression of Abu Jahl et al; the greed, deception, love of the temporal life, and the bogusness of the children of Israel; along with the arrogance of the Pharaoh who had the misled notion that just because he is the leader of the most powerful nation on earth and is at the top the greatest army of his time he can somehow defeat the servants of Allah”.

Imam Anwar Al Awlaki with an interesting perspective about the economic crisis
that is going on in the US.

you may agree with him, and you may not.
but surely there is somthing in what he is saying, and one does not have to be economist to know that. the begining of the end… Wallahu A’alam.

Anwar al-Awlaki delivered this speech via teleconference at Another Ramadan 2008 charity dinner organised by Cageprisoners on the 7th September 2008 in Wandsworth Civic Suite, London.

From The Quran -

“So she watched out for him from a distance while they did not
notice. We kept him from nursing at first, and so (his
sister) said: “Shall I lead you to a family who will look after
him for you? They will take good care of him.” (Surah Al-Qasas 28:12)

“Thus We returned him to his mother so that he might comfort her
and she would not feel sad, and so that she would know that
Allah’s promise is true, even though most of them do not realize
it” . (Surah Al-Qasas 28:13)

Surat AlQasas 28:12-13.

One day Allah’s Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, noticed a
Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it. He asked the
Bedouin, “Why don’t you tie down your camel?”
The Bedouin answered, “I placed my trust in Allah.”
At that, the Prophet, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “Tie
your camel and place your trust in Allah” - Tirmidhi
