▪️ *Materialism Theory of Life and its Malicious Effects*
➖➖➖

There are two theories of life, one materialistic, and the other sound, and each has its own effects.
*▫️. The materialism theory* - It means restricting man's mind in order to accomplish his hasty pleasures, for which man's endeavors are restricted to that range, without being able to see its evil consequences nor strive to avoid it, for he does not know that Allah has made the life of this world as a farm for the world to come.

He made this world a world of action, and the world to come, a world of requital. Therefore, whoever utilizes his life by accomplishing good deeds, he would be prosperous in both, but he who neglects this world loses the second. Allah says: *"He has lost this world as well as in the Hereafter that is an evident loss."* (22:11)
Allah has not created this world in vain, rather, He created it for a great divine purpose. Allah, the Exalted, says: *"Who has created death and life to try you as to who of you is best in accomplishing good deeds."* (67:2).

And He is the Mighty, the Most Forgiving. And He says: *"Verily, We have made all that is on the earth as an ornament for it, to try them as to which of them is best in accomplishing good deeds."* (18:7)
Most people strive only to obtain pleasures of the world and enjoy them without contemplating their purpose and preoccupy themselves by obtaining them while heedless of the world to come. Rather, they deny the existence of another life, as Allah, the Exalted, says: *"And they say, 'There is nothing except this present life of ours, and we shall not be resurrected."* (6:29).

Allah, the Exalted, threatens those who hold this belief saying: *”Those who do not look forward to meeting Us and are content with the life of this world, and feel at rest therewith, and those who are heedless of Our signs. It is those whose abode is the Fire, because of what they earned."* (10: 7,8) He also says: *"Whoever desires the present life and its joys, We will fully repay them for their works in this life and they shall not be wronged therein."* (11:15,16). To give an example of materialistic people is what Allah mentions about Qaroon, and the treasures that He gave him. Allah says:.

*"So he came out to his people in his pomp. Those who were desirous of the life of this world said, 'O would that we have similar to what Qaroon is given! Truly, he is of great fortune."* (28:79). Those people envied him and wished that they had his wealth, and described him as a man of great fortune according to their materialistic thinking. This is the case of infidel countries nowadays, which enjoy technological, industrial, economical progress. Those Muslims who have weak faith, they admire them without considering the infidelity of those people, and the evil fate which awaits them. _*This materialistic thinking prompts them to admire the infidels and respect them to the point of emulating their conduct and bad habits, but they fail to emulate their serious efforts and preparedness in achieving beneficial inventions and industries.*_

*▫️. The sound thinking of this life* - That man should consider the wealth, authority, and materialistic capabilities as only means for accomplishing good deeds for the world to come.

In fact, this world is not to be condemned for itself, rather commending or condemning should be directed to the accomplishments of the slave. This world is only a bridge leading to the world to come, and a source of supply for reaching Jannah (the Heavenly Garden). The best of joys which the people of Jannah gain is only a result of what they have planted in this world. Allah, the Exalted, will say to the people of Jannah: *"Eat and drink joyfully because of the good deeds you did in days gone by."* (69:24)

▪️ *Charms and Amulets*
➖➖➖

*▫️. Charms, a charm,* or a spell either uttered or written by which a person having an evil effect such as fever and epilepsy etc. is charmed. It is of two kinds:
*🔸 First kind:* That which do not include Shirk, i.e., to recite on a sick person Qur'anic Ayat, or any supplications that include names or attributes of Allah. This kind of incantation (ruqyah) is lawful, for the Prophet himself practiced ruqyah and permitted it.
___*PAGE 8*___.
✍️...

Auf bin Malik said: _"We used to practice ruqyah during the era of Ignorance (Pre Islamic), and we asked the Messenger of Allah of what he thought of such chanting, he said: *'Show me the contents of your ruqyah, there is no harm in them if they do not include Shirk."*_ [Muslim]
*As Su'yooti said:* _"Scholars are at unison respecting the permissibility of ruqyah if they meet three conditions,_
___*PAGE 9*____. 
✍️...

⚪️. To include the words of Allah, His names or attributes._
_⚪️. To be uttered or written in Arabic._
_⚪️. The one who carries it, or practices it, must believe that the ruqyah in itself has no effect, rather by the foreordainment of Allah.”_ *[Fath al Majeed p. 145]*

*🔸Second kind:* That which includes Shirk, i.e., the ruqyah through which the help of other than Allah is sought, such as supplicating other than Allah, seeking relief or seeking his help. Such incantation includes names of Jinn, Angels, Prophets, or righteous people, and thus it constitutes major Shirk.
___*PAGE 10*___.
✍️...

Or it is written or uttered in other than Arabic or includes words of vague meaning and it is feared to include infidelity and Shirk, such is prohibited.
