    Just a note for everyone, Islam does not condone the use of talisman and any kind of magic. A true muslim seek refuge from any evil and dangerous things only in The Almighty, Allah. A muslim can't even use the book quran as a protection from anything. The 'quran' means 'to recite'. A muslim can recite the verse of the quran to seek refuge by it (knowing that Allah will protect them by those verse from evil). Any sign of quranic verses written in/on any form of talisman is a form of shirik "Associating God with something in power to protect you". Written verse cannot protect you from anything by itself, but reciting quranic verse in hope that Allah gives protect does the work.

      And extremists Sufi, pir shia who believe that man can become GOD by reaching highest level of spirituality like irani shia Sufi mansoor hallaj will also follow antichrist by considering as their mahdi or mystical Sufi mansoor hallaj with mighty power as he said his followers that he would come back possibly to take revenge against the true believers (Muslims) of Islam.
      Hindus as well as christians believe that their god come to earth in human form to be deceived by antichrist (dajjal). Because most of them worship material things (money,powers,names, fames, worldly things etc.). They (Hindus Buddhists christians) also worship Jin Satan to open their 3rd eye!
      Christianity= Hinduism
      Denomination= Caste

    Interesting fact about Shams al-Maarif: in 1984, Serhan Tayşi - the director of Turkish National Library (which is famous for its manuscrips) recieved a letter from Ministry of Culture said that the US asked for a book named Shams al-Maarif. Curious, Tayşi took the book and began to examine it. This manuscript, unlike the prints on the market, explains some key points on how to use the knowledge provided. After that, Tayşi refused to give the book. Due to pressure from the Ministry of Culture, he brought the issue to the MIT (Turkish CIA) and the General Staff. At the end the book wasn’t given and General Staff thanked Tayşi.

    Finally it makes sense now. In my childhood, there was a man of my mother's village could summon Jinn mostly for healing people from illness. The jinn was known to be good unlike Satan/evil-nature but little bit ill-tempered. As urban residents, me, my father & everyone else laughed hearing such things. We decided to witness the attempt. One of my aunt was infertile. Doctor said she may haven't give birth ever. Her father couldn’t bear it. He called that man to arrange a summoning in hope that if Jinn could help. Luckily we were there too. In the full moon. There was almost 15-20 people in my aunt's house locked inside including me & my parents. Completely dark. Not a single drop of light except few aromatic joss stick. One of my grand father was holding the man tightly so that he can not do tricks by himself. The man were supposed to recite some sort of verses for quite a long time. Although he told us before starting rituals that how the jinn will enter. Exactly that happened after few minutes. Something suddenly started walking on the roof. It was so heavy that the whole house was shaking. Than it feels like somebody threw a heavy stone. It fell just in the middle of us directly from the roof . Later we saw it was a huge rock but got puzzled that how did it invaded the roof & fell upon a place full of people but nobody got hurt! Thn we felt that the thing jumped onto the ground, opned the main door which was locked inside, took a chair & sat in the center of room. Remember it was completely dark. Well thn he gave Salam to everybody. I was like shivering after listening his voice. No human can have this kind of voice. It was nasally & too sharp. He was talking bengali but in different dialect which was not familiar to me. Than he calmly heard all the problems & questions whoever asking & replied accordingly. My mother, one who is fearless lady i have ever seen, was asking some questions that results are yet to come in near future. The jinn scolded her saying "we can not tell about prophecies. That power is not given to us. We are another species just like you made by Allah with a certain special powers." my another aunt had been trying hardly to see him in the dark. He noticed instantly. Said, "you tried to see me since the very first time. Can you bear the effect after seeing my avatar? If we are in hiding, that is for a good reason. So let us be." when he was gone, he took almost half of mann fish as his charge. After the ceremony, when the light came back, we were like numb. Couldn't find any loophole that could convice us that it was fake & staged. No third person could enter in the house territory. Even if anybody stays hidden in outside, how could he open the heavy main door which was locked inside. What is the explaination of the throw. How it fell through the roof! But the most interesting part is, my infertile aunt for whom the jinn was summoned is a mother of four children now. Later the jinn appeared again by the same ceremony. Gave her some rituals to follow & told to perform her prayer regularly.
    So this is how the jinn was summoned by that man. He might have chanting those verses. My nana told me that the summoner had some book which is forbidden. Sometimes he may recited the verses from The Qura'n in reverse (Nawjubillah). Nana said, although the man meant to help people but it is wrong & forbidden in Islam. No one is supposed practice such things like magic or summoning Jinn.

    This book and other books full of talismans and incantations were collectively known as "al kutub al safraa" (the yellow (paged) books). Being found with one in your possession was enough to have you accused of heresy or witchcraft and sent to jail.
    I once saw one of these books and was able to go through the various spells inside and actually found one particularly notorious spell: the one to use to make a woman you desire come to you. It involves drawing certain talismans and symbols on your member and calling out the loved one's name at night.
    Anyway, they say a man was desperately in love with a woman called "Barda'a" (Arabic for saddle, Bedouins often named their daughters similar names). So someone recommended that he try this particular spell after seeing how much he desired this woman. Our friend was not a learned or religious person, he knew little about Djinn and occult things, but he decided to give it a try if there was any chance he could be with the woman he wanted.
    So he went to a secluded hovel or shack outside of the village he lived in. He drew the figures as best he could from the book on his penis. Then he sat there in the dark and started saying, "Barda'a, Barda'a" again and again in the quiet of the night.
    Suddenly he heard a noise outside the door. His heart leapt with fear, excitement and hope all at once. Could this actually be Barda'a outside the door? He stood up and slowly opened the door and right there in front of his shack was a donkey saddle suspended in the air. 😂
    They say he was never the same after that night in the shack outside the village.

    From a Muslim here who is from an Arab country and has a descent knowledge about the religion, for those who think that this book is religious in anyway or who think they will get some kind of powers from Allah or the words of Allah, I’d tell them to not be fooled by these thoughts. This book has nothing religious in it! People see the verses and names of Allah and they think “then this book must be a good Islamic book”.
    Just think about this, what if a Quranic verse is written backwards that doesn’t make it from the Quran anymore. Or if this book tells you to repeat something specific numbers of times, then it changes what is supposed to be holy to something else. Remember, if the prophet didn’t do it nor his companions then that’s just mere innovation and people are fooled thinking it is “religious and holy” to do these rituals. And calling upon Jinn is just pure shirk as we say.
    Remember that whatever this book is telling you about things and stories is just mere lies to convince you that doing these rituals and playing with the Quran like that is ok and religious.
    Ask any scholar and they would tell you this book is basically nothing from Islam.
    Not to mention the dangers this book brings. You keep it at home and you will see and feel things change and happen. You will also hear things. You will never know peace.
    I had 3 family members who were fools enough to think they could learn stuff from the book and they thought they can control Jinn. Well, it turned against them, they got literally mentally ill to the point they had to have them restrained otherwise they might hurt someone or hurt themselves. Eventually all of them died after a long time of suffering with mental illness.
    Just stay away from this book or you will regret it. And remember that if you try to read the book and use its rituals then you will be tested. And if you can’t handle those tests then you will end up like those 3 family members I had.

    One day as I was strolling back to my room I found my grandfather laying down and next to him was this book. He was following a soufi tradition and they made him believe that this was wisdom from people of old. I immediately freaked out and started a 10 days debate to finally rid him of this book and all of the accompanying beliefs that came with it. I took a look at what this book said and it was a bunch of charms and curses to apply on people. That book never saw the the next day. I burned it to a crisp along with all the writings that grandpa had scribbled from it. Hopefully Allah will forgive him as he now rests in peace.

    The video I’ve been waiting for. I was warned about this book many times growing up, with one particular story I heard from my dad who owned a copy at one point in his college days. He said just reading it out loud would be enough to invite the worst of the jinn to the household, and mentioned something about the jinn following you for the span of your life. It terrified me, but captivated me for so long, and I always felt an inclination to read it or peruse any topics within that realm. I’m about the same age now that he was when he got the book. A couple months back, I managed to find myself an excellently preserved copy. I Couldn’t describe my giddiness when it finally arrived, a sense of strange achievement came over me when I held it, like I had been handed some powerful heirloom that I wasn’t meant to be holding. While I’m not fearful of much, and can be considered quite the skeptic, opening this book and finally reading it gave me a feeling that I hadn’t ever felt before, that wonderous, almost admiring sense of awe that you are truly reading something older than most things you recognize, while simultaneously giving a powerful feeling of dread that got to the point where I couldn’t continue past a few pages without looking up at my peripherals swearing the shadow at the very corner was moving. The book sits quite nicely among other old editions I have on my shelf, but I make it a point to rarely read it, and to only touch it when I absolutely need to. To this day I’m not sure if the feeling I felt is because of all the things I heard manifesting themself into imagination, or if everything I heard was indeed, true, but perhaps not all knowledge is meant to be learned yet, this being one of them.
    Thank you for your amazing work on your videos and your in depth research into the history of an area of the world that doesn’t get spoken about enough! I’ve learned more about my own history in regards to religion from you than from any teacher, please keep the videos coming

Therefore, Muslims follow an Arab political approach affiliated with the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Qatar, and Oman, and their followers from Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Sudan, and Algeria. Therefore, you must understand any Islam. Muslims follow and any political approach they take for this correct and true Islam is not present in the Arab and Islamic world, they are dangerous and poisonous political agendas, and people must understand and beware of it and know the truth that they believe non-Muslims that Muslims are a unified religion and so is their religion, but the reality is opposed and not true

      @PM S if you believe in absolute tolerance for all views weather they are false or not which is a self contradicting belief that eventually is destroyed by the intolerant then you should tolerate his intolerance to Mr Khan's incorrect assertion that the presenters Arabic was perfect

    What I find interesting is how you mention Jupiter can be called upon for protection. What’s fascinating is that Jupiter has, in fact, protected the planet earth from asteroids for several millions of years, acting as a gravity well which pulls potentially dangerous space objects into its atmosphere.

      In islam if you take any assotiates with allah as if they will protect you without allah or anything like that, you're no longer a muslim, that's why muslims don't like the book

      On the pole of jupiter there is a pattern of 8 storms and they form an 8 pointed star. Saturn has a hexagon on its pole, 6 pointed shape. 8 pointed star is associated with Islam and 6 pointed star with judaism. Let’s question who or what god is. That being said, there are deep flaws with both “religions” and are only one piece of the puzzle, eastern religions aren’t quite as fatalistic yet hold immense truth as well.

    true story , friend of mine moved into a house back when we were in uni (2004) , he found a copy of this book in the cabinet , it was worn out but still identifiable - he was not able to get a minute of shut eye in that house , weird sounds, flying utensils, jinn coming to his sleep telling him he will not rest in this house advising him to leave - he ignored and kept his daily prayer , the actions didnt stop just his fear stopped . how's that for a context ?

    An important information for the people who has interest in islam.
    If you begin to learn islam from this level: you will loose yourself in a desert and you will never see a drop of water again.
    This matters looks very interesting and even too many believers have attention on this because of feeling themself in a fantastic world.
    But i want to warn : this is not something like watching lord of the rings or any similar fantastic movies.
    Magic,summoning etc. are given to humans before islam by two angels which they warned humans that its a test from God.
    Of course than it found itself a place in islam and leading people to wrong directions since.
    Magic is real yes but who uses it for good or bad are cursed.
    Summoning is real yes but who uses it for good or bad are cursed.
    If you think you will be provided a drop of water from someonelse except God you are not believer anymore.
    If just a drop of water can lead you to be infidel,you can understand how cautious you must be.
    May Allah protect us from misdirections...
