not sure about it being "black magic" though, i'd like filip to correct me if he sees this comment but my guess would be that black magic is linked with the power seeked from the djinn, what filip is talking about here is mostly talismans linked with the power of god, now i'd agree that in the modern era for sure even the second one is considered bid'a (innovation) mainly because the salafi interpretation is the dominant one (or let's say more visible), i'm not sure what was the stand on it before, but regarding the first one (the black magic linked with djinns) i must say your dad is right, it's clearly forbidden and dangerous.

On Eid Al Adha my dad would dip his hand in the blood of the freshly slaughtered lamb and make a Khamsa on the wall for blessing. In my country (Tunisia) we gift nee Borns Talismans in the form of fish or fish tail and even an Antilope horn.. I could go on forever.

Moazam Ali I’m not entirely sure of the exact deific origins of those motifs. I do, however, know the astrological correspondes of Capricorn and Scorpio respectively. Capricorn generally deals with the material, and discipline, human limitations and Karmic contracts being a sign influenced by Saturn, in the major arcana of tarot the devil represents it. Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the warring god and is usually seen the personification of change,it deals with human instincts(survival mainly) as well as the chthonic aspect of the psyche and sexuality, and the Death arcana represents it. Hopefully this sheds enough light to that question

[@arifshahabuddin8888]

Filip covers some of this in his videos on Sufiism as well as his videos on Dara Shikoh, Akbar and Sikhism. Modifications in practice and even beliefs are affected by changes of time and place. There are certain syncretic practices that had crept into the Islam of the Indian subcontinent and certainly Islam has influenced Hindu practice particularly in North India. These practices are so ingrained that it is barely perceived. There are often movements within religions towards more fundamental beliefs. In India today, there are strong Hindu and Muslim fundamentalists organizations which first became prominent over the past century to "get back to a time" before these influences became influential. I've deliberately tried to be vague by leaving out names and specific practices to decrease passions. A story from my childhood fits today's video. Approximately fifty years ago, we were visiting relatives in India from the States. I apparently had suffered a high fever. A local holy man (imam?) was either visiting or was called to the house to say a prayer for me. He did so and tied a talisman around my neck. My parents soon took it off stating that this practice was superstitious and otherwise not Islamic (e.g. ungodly). Yet, using talismans is a very common practice on the Indian subcontinent. One must acknowledge, however, that even signs, symbols and practices that are emblematic of a religion have their roots in the occult sciences and talismans. How much of Christian (particularly Catholic) practice is simply the adoption of Roman practices and procedures that overlay the teachings of Jesus Christ? Both the cross and the belief in the trinity came straight from Roman religious symbology. The pontiff (the Pope) replaced the pontifex maximus. The crescent and the star of David have similar ancient symbology. It is hard to separate "true" dogma from practices adopted that may have served as a social lubricant.

It worth mentioning is "Hirz al-Jawad" which is a common amulet between Iranian Shiat which is being worn as a ring. The Talisman is referred to 9th Shiat imam Mohammad Al-Jawad. Also "Sharaf o-Shams" (honor of the sun), is a talisman written on the back of a yellow quartz stone only in one night (around the month of April) in the whole year. The talisman is very similar the seal of Solomon you showed here

[@shahrarti]

What is the purpose of wearing the hirz-al-jawad ring? Is it for protection or something else? Also, can you speak more about the sharaf-o-shams? What is that stone worn for? I never saw such things as magic but more as a written form of a du'a. How are they viewed in the shia world?

[@alirezaghadimi7873]

​@@shahrarti You are completely right, Hirz-al-Jawad and Sharaf-o-shams are originally written as a prayer. But the applications are more like a talisman which first should be prepared with a specific ritual and second only carry them with you benefits you like a protective spell. While the prayer should be recited and will work through the heart of the person reading it (unlike the spell which the reciter might not even know the meaning of the words he's saying). Hirz-al-Jawad is a prayer that will be written on a very small piece of paper and sealed in a silver ring for the person to carry. Sharaf-o-shams (meaning: the honor of the sun) is also the prayer which will be written in a strange script that is not Arabic on the back of the yellow agate gemstone, this process must be done all in one special night (I think it April 8th but I'm not sure) and in only from the sunset to sunrise. The gemstone can be used later on as a silver ring for men or a necklace mostly for women. The purpose of wearing these two is not clear to me as well but it is believed that wearing them will protect you from natural causes and also help you to have an easier transition to the afterlife. Looking at the yellow agate gemstone is believed to enhance eyesight. (PS: I don't believe in none of these superstitions)

On that talismanic shirt i noticed what i think were hexifoils (the geometric, compass drawn patterns on the shoulders), this is interesting because in england there are numerous examples of these carved into the stonework of medieval churches, sometimes a single one of these churches will have more than a dozen examples. Their purpose and origin are a bit mysterious but the prevailant theory is that they were carved by churchgoers in medieval times precisely as a kind of apotropaic magic or ritual protection marks. Excellent video, thankyou, Arabic calligraphy lends itself beautifully to objects of this kind, the level of detail is outstanding, the letters are so crammed together yet remain so elegant, you really do get a sense of their power just by looking at photos.

“I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, ‘Spells (ruqyah), amulets and love-charms are shirk.” I said, “Why do you say this? By Allaah, my eye was weeping with a discharge and I kept going to So and so, the Jew, who did a spell for me. When he did the spell, it calmed down.” ‘Abd-Allaah said: “That was just the work of the Shaytaan who was picking it with his hand, and when (the Jew) uttered the spell, he stopped. All you needed to do was to say as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say: ‘Adhhib il-ba’s Rabb al-naas ishfi anta al-Shaafi laa shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqaman (Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind, and heal, You are the Healer.

While some of the talisman that did inherit quranic verses or directly asking from god's help or the name of messengers, or allah swt's 99 names, or the names of other prophets and that doesn't qualify as shirk in the slightest. However, coming down to amulets (such as the famous blue eyed amulet and the hand of fatima) those are classified as shirk because they completely rely on something else other than god and what you're practically doing is giving a useless object a sense of absolute power (which can never happen to a mere creation of allah). Most of these talisman object's had quranic verses or allah's names and that was one of the key factors in making good of the specified purpose required (or fulfilling the job required).

I'm an astrologer, numerologist, Metaphysician, which boils down to the study and practice of "symbolism" and "symbolic knowledge". Therefore, I quite understand, that just like the study of any kind of discipline and its symbols, one comes to a deeper and deeper understanding as one practices one's particular discipline and its own "talismanic Magic". Thank you for a very refined presentation and pronunciations!!!

Talismans used a lot in Indonesia especially in colonial times. People use it as an armor so they 'immune' to sword or guns. They also use it when the peasants riots or war against the Dutch. One of the best example is the 19th century peasants riot in Banten. Sufi teacher gave talismanic items to their students that join the riot.

The magic squares are represented planetary numbers with the number converted into letters by using numerology. Like taking ones name converting the letters to numbers and using planetary grids then connecting the numbers with lines and the shape is sacred, if you want to see a good reputation of this look at Crawely’s Tarot cards the line shapes in the background of the images are talisman.

[@nasigorengkambingpedes]

Not gonna lie. Where I live, talismans are everywhere. Magic is part of the culture here. Even after the arrival of Islam and Christianity, magic is still practiced. There are a lot of shamans who claims to be an imams or priest. I once use a talisman as well due to my family influence. They practiced a some form of occultism as well. Like staying awake at night as a form of "ibadah". They argue that we need to look deeper what "ibadah" means and not only do what was written and taught. In my case, the talisman is full of arabic writings, just like the video describe, but with more local variations to it. The shaman also call the God name in arabic language to invoke the effect he wanted. FYI for non muslim brothers/sisters, in Islam, prayer/ibadah is considered forbidden practice unless it is taught. Contrary to food, it is considered permitted unless clearly forbidden. Now, after learning more about the religion I practice, it is clearly more pragmatic than I ever think it would be. Do only what clearly taught, avoid anything doubtful, unnecessary, and clearly forbidden. And talisman bear no purpose whatsoever, it is just a thing. May Allah forgive me for the shirk I have done in the past.

You'd better mention the Turkish Islamic amulet called a muska. It's called a tumar in Azerbaijan and Central Asian countries. It's a hand-written paper folded into a small triangle and put into a triangle-shaped casing made of leather or thick linen cloth or metal. A "good"/"protective" muska contains prayers or Quranic verses. An "evil" muska contains curses, hexes or words/symbols that supposedly summon demonic jinns and instruct them to harm the person whose house the evil muska is secretly placed in. Interestingly, the words in good muskas are only in Arabic whereas the words in evil muskas can be in Arabic, Assyrian Aramaic, Hebrew.

Hi Filip! Thank you so much for these videos, They're very interesting and informative. Even I (a practicing Muslim) didn't know about the existence of "Siher" and the heavily use of talismans / amulets in the middle ages in Islam. It's quite shocking honestly.😱 There are a lot of apparent evidence of the use of these talismans in today's modern time, even in my household (smh 🙄 grandmas). However, these practices are not allowed and are haram in Islam in most Mathaheb. The people who practice using these today are often the elderly in our community or the ppl who uphold cultural practices of old ; however, that does not mean that they are right and or halal to use, it's often ignorance about the why is it haram/ Makruh (or not actually knowing it's haram) and why we shouldn't practice such thing. We, Muslims are asked to always keep learning and practicing our religion to keep it alive and to point out to our fellow Muslims when they are making a mistake or lacking knowledge about anything regarding Islam. As much as I appreciate you taking care and using "islamicate" instead of "Islamic" and conveying the information about the occult present in the Islamic context without giving a determined verdict to whether "siher"and talismans in terms if they are haram or halal (forbidden or allowed) in Islam, it is leaving a lot of my Muslim brothers and sisters confused. I'd suggest to leave a reminder about the views of whether it's halal or haram (or not specifying it) at the beginning of the video (and urging viewers to do their own research about it) as it is just an essay style video about the occult sciences in the Islamic/ate context.🤔 For everyone (especially Muslims): These talismans are called بدعة beda'h or a (heresy?) (creation / practice without an evidence or root in shariah law), these poor people think that they need these talismans to invoke Allah or ask for whatever they need but that negate the essence of Islam as they do not need a mediator ( a person, item, numbers or symbols?) to communicate with Allah and ask for anything from protection to help with any matters in their life. There are many evidence about this in hadith, and have been asked about here, turntoislam.com/community/threads/about-taaweez.52672/ Refer to the translation provided by the brother, Almeftah if you can't read Arabic. I hope this comment does not come as hostile or reprimanding in any means, I keep seeing a lot of confused Muslim fellows in the comment to whether it's halal or haram and felt like I can do something about it. 😅 Looking forward to see what comes next! I've always been interested in the hidden/strange sciences and the islamicate occult. But as a Muslim, it feels scary but informative to know about them. Still, there's always a lingering feeling that one shouldn't look for or research about these things to not fall in Muharram or do haram 😂 (literal forbidden knowledge lol). But may God fortify our hearts and minds against shirk, siher and evil👐 Salam!

I guess the great Islamic influence upon the Southeast Asian also comes from migration and exchange of cultural influences ❤ I was rised Christian, but I have learned since to respect and love all religions and faiths equally. I believe that the Deity that Jews call Yahweh, Christians call Father & Son & Holy Spirit and Muslims name Allah is the same entity, just understood and interpreted differently by different groups of people... Do I believe there's any one true religion? No. Religion is, I believe, human invention and no human, no matter how ascetic and holy, would ever comprehend Divinity at it's fullest.

For that reason, I'm less concerned about the historicity of Solomon employing a G in his rituals and more concerned about the meaning this letter came to acquire with the advent of Latinized magical practices.
