S13E4: The Permission and Will of Allah in Relation to Magic and Satanic Influence

<p>How is it possible that people were able to cause differences between man and women, or cause difficulties through magic? And what is meant by the permission of God?</p> <p>Magic and satanic influence have been present in the world for centuries, and many individuals have used these forces for evil purposes. However, the Quran teaches us that there is a distinct difference between the permission and will of Allah in regards to these forces.</p> <p>According to the ayah, Allah says there is a difference between His permission and His will. The creation of man is an example of Allah's will. However, if an individual intends to do something, Allah must give permission for that thing to happen. Without His permission, that thing will not occur.</p> <p>In regards to magic and satanic influence, they cannot harm anyone without the permission of Allah. But why would Allah permit such harm? It is because people are different, and there are evil individuals on earth. If Allah teaches us how to protect ourselves from the effects of magic, such as reciting specific prayers and verses, but we choose to neglect these teachings, we become vulnerable to harm.</p> <p>Allah tells us how to recite the Azkar everyday, how to recite the Quran to protect ourself everyday, how to perform our Salat to protect everyday, how to recite Salawat to protect ourself from the magic effect. But if one neglects all of that and somebody comes and tries to hurt us through magic and the matter now comes between the hand of Allah, Allah will tell, okay, go ahead. This person didn't listen to me, so he can be impacted by the ill-effects of magic.</p> <p>Similarly, if the authorities tell us to take precautions against a virus, such as getting vaccinated, and we neglect to do so, we become responsible for any harm that may come to us as a result. The authority in this case is Allah, who has taught us how to protect ourselves from evil forces. If we choose to neglect these teachings, we expose ourselves and Allah may give permission for harm to come
