A protective amulet for a devout Muslim is not just a talisman for good luck, but a serious attribute of the Islamic religion.
The magic of the East has always been considered one of the most powerful in the world. Magic rituals here were accompanied by calls on spirits, and not all of them were representatives of the forces of light. Ifrits and jinn were sometimes very vindictive for any error in performing the ritual, characteristic of people who knew little.
Since time immemorial, the people of the East have unconditionally believed in the power of the spoken word. Therefore, curses and evil eyes were more widespread in eastern countries than in other regions of the planet. Accordingly, people here more often used protective amulets and talismans.
Prohibition of magic in Islam
The Koran forbade devout Muslims to perform any magical actions; this prohibition still applies in our time. In ancient times, witchcraft and magical rituals were equated with serious crimes; the punishment for disobedience was very severe, including the death penalty. At the same time, not only the sorcerer himself was executed, but also those who turned to him for help.
In a whisper, in great secrecy, face to face, magical formulas for performing rituals were passed on among the people. At the same time, they were afraid that the ancient secret knowledge could be used by a person who knew little.
Therefore, almost every Muslim had (and has today) a protective amulet, but no one in the East ever admits to their belief in supernatural forces.
From stone
It is believed that semi-precious stones - agate, carnelian and jasper - have unique energy. These stones are most often used in the manufacture of Muslim amulets. The simplest ring with such a stone will have a powerful protective power against black magic if one of the one hundred and fourteen suras of the Koran is applied to it. When a black sorcerer pronounces a curse, he will immediately be discovered by the owner of a Muslim stone amulet. In this case, both the earthly court and the Heavenly Court will await the sorcerer.
Amulet activation
A Muslim amulet, like any other, needs to be activated in order for it to fulfill its protective function. There is absolutely nothing difficult about this, but there are several important rules:
- The ritual of activating the amulet should be performed alone, away from the eyes of ill-wishers.
- You need to activate the amulet using a prayer said out loud.
- The prayer should only be read by a person who professes Islam.
It is important to remember that a person belonging to another religion should not wear amulets and amulets of Muslim culture, as they will not be able to help and protect.
Other amulets
In the Muslim world, in addition to protective amulets, amulets for good luck, wealth, love, to protect the hearth and even personal vehicles are often used.
Verses and suras
The Koran is based on various Muslim amulets. They are based on the correct reading of its constituent parts - surahs and verses, as well as sunnahs and duas, which only Muslims are allowed to read. Only true believers are also allowed to wear amulets with a verse of the Koran.
Ayats and sunnahs are the simplest amulets for Muslims who seriously profess Islam. To make them, you need to carefully copy the necessary verses onto paper, for example, Bakara, or the Sunnah Auzu in Arabic. Then you should fold the paper with the sacred texts into a triangle, wrap it first in foil, then in a dark cloth.
With the resulting amulet you need to visit the mosque. Such a talisman is worn around the neck or in a pocket, but always above the waist.
holy name
There is a widespread belief among Muslims that the name of Allah drives away all evil from a person. Not a single dark demon will harm a true believer if you wear a talisman with the Holy Name around your neck. The amulet is a calligraphic inscription in gold or silver letters on a semi-precious stone. Like other symbols of the Islamic faith, this amulet should not be worn by followers of other religions.
Amulet of early Islam
The Prophet Muhammad himself is credited with the authorship of this amulet. Its appearance is a coin covered with Arabic script. An early Islamic amulet reliably protects against black magic. It can relieve pain, heal wounds, and improve health.
Like all oriental amulets, only Muslims are allowed to wear it, so that the prayers of the faithful reach Allah better and faster. It is better to buy an amulet of early Islam in a mosque or in the immediate vicinity of a temple.
Hand of Fatima
This talisman has many other names: Hamsa, Hand of Miriam, Hand of God. In ancient Spain, this amulet was especially popular at one time.
This is not just a talisman, but also a magical and cultural image. Due to the fact that the Hand of Fatima talisman does not have a direct religious origin, this amulet can be used by representatives of various religious denominations.
The talisman protects from the evil eye and damage, serves to improve health, can attract good luck, and protect from negative circumstances.
The hand of Fatima protects not only a person, but also his home and family. Nowadays, this talisman is placed both in the home and in the office. They take it with them when moving to a new house or apartment, and hang it in their personal car.
If the Hand of Fatima amulet is hung above the front door, it can attract good luck and drive away evil spirits.
Zulfiqar
Angel Zulfiqar patronizes Muslims in war. The amulet with his sign is a curved sword.
A protective sura, or an image of two crossed daggers, is applied to its surface.
This amulet is currently very popular among diplomats, businessmen, and police officers.
Promotes business success and helps convince counterparties.
Zulfiqar is also used as a talisman for the home; it helps to identify lies and slander.
Holy name is Allah
The power of the Word is of enormous importance in the East. In particular, the names of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad.
Here it is believed that Allah revealed the Quran in Arabic. Therefore, in this language you can command spirits and stop the effects of black magic. Amulets with Holy names inscribed on them in Arabic script are considered very powerful Muslim talismans in eastern countries.
Zulfiqar
This amulet is named after the angel who patronizes military affairs. The amulet consists of two crossed daggers with a sura carved on the tip. Another name for this amulet is the Zulfiqar sword.
People of working professions rarely wear this amulet. Most often it is worn by people whose work is related to military affairs, or businessmen. It is generally accepted that the sword Zulfiqar is capable of helping in concluding profitable contracts and patronizes people who are engaged in entrepreneurial activities. It happens that Muslims keep such a talisman in their home, which helps them protect their home from enemies, thieves and unfriendly glances. Muslims also believe that this sword can protect not only from the thoughts of negatively minded people, but also protect from the influence of evil spirits.
Muslim amulets tattoo
Islam is ambivalent about tattoos on the body. On the one hand, the Koran directly prohibits adjusting the human body, since, according to belief, Allah created the human body perfect.
On the other hand, according to modern theologians, only permanent tattoos cannot be applied to the body, but painted ones are possible. Therefore, in Eastern countries, drawing protective symbols on the skin with mehendi and henna is popular today. Words from the Koran and Holy Names are applied to the chest or right arm, but with the condition that they can be easily washed off.
Protective pictures for your phone and computer
Pictures of protective Muslim amulets can be easily downloaded from the Internet and installed on your phone or computer display.
But only devout Muslims can do this. The reason is that the ritual of activating Muslim amulets is allowed only to people who seriously profess Islam.
How to make it yourself
DIY Muslim amulets have powerful powers.
It was believed, for example, that oriental craftswomen with weaving skills, with the help of knot magic, were able to attract good luck and change fate for the better. The women tied white and black threads in knots one hundred and fourteen times, according to the number of suras in the Koran. When tying each knot, Surah Baraka should be recited.
If the craftswoman wanted to attract love into her life, she had to tie green and red threads. To make a talisman for good luck, two white threads and three blue ones, or one yellow and three green ones were tied.
Embroidery
Like the ancient Slavs, Muslim women embroidered their men's clothes and accessories with special patterns. But, unlike Slavic women, Muslim women also used decorations made of intertwined threads, stones, beads and bugles in the design of men's clothing with embroidery. Mothers, wives and sisters of the ancient East put the love and warmth of their souls into such amulets, made with their own hands, which multiplied their protective properties many times over.
Features of use
Some Muslim amulets and amulets require special treatment.
It is believed, for example, that the Eye of Fatima amulet should be hung in the most unsightly places, but at the same time, it should be in plain sight. There is no need to hang the Eye of Fatima on new beautiful household items that cause the envy of others.
You need to take a particularly close look at Muslim stone amulets when purchasing them: chips, cracks and scratches on the stone, which have negative energy due to damage, can have the opposite effect when used.
To obtain the desired effect, protective Muslim amulets and talismans for good luck, wealth, love, for the home must be cleaned and activated.
How to activate?
To protect yourself during the ritual of activating a Muslim amulet, first read the Sunnah from the Koran. It will protect the owner of the amulet from genies.
Then the believer must kneel in the direction of the east, raise the talisman above his head and pronounce a special magical formula in Arabic.
After this, you need to go to the mosque, touch your heart with your right hand, and the wall of the temple with your left hand and mentally turn to the good spirit with a request to endow the talisman with the necessary properties. Then thank the good spirit, put on the talisman and return to the house. You cannot talk to anyone on the way to the mosque and back.
Can Orthodox Christians wear it?
Muslim talismans and amulets are an effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones, your home and personal car from the evil eye, damage, envy and black magic. But there is one rule: all of them can only be used by Muslims who seriously practice Islam.
Orthodox Christians are recommended to use the baptismal cross, small icons of Saints, amulet and other symbols of the Orthodox Church as amulets. It is not recommended for Orthodox Christians to use talismans and amulets with images of symbols of foreign faith, so as not to incur the wrath of the Divine Powers.
Religious items for driver and car
Various religious amulets are considered very popular talismans. They are placed inside or outside the vehicle.
Note! For the amulet to really start working and provide the necessary protection, the driver himself must be a true believer, although the type of religion does not play a decisive role.
For example, it is customary for Orthodox Christians to bless a car, and Muslims use special amulets. This information will be discussed in more detail below.
Icons and crosses for the driver
The most powerful Orthodox protective amulet is the icon. It can provide very strong protection, but you need to know which images of saints are suitable for these purposes.
To ensure that the car does not break down and the road is successful, the following is placed in the cabin:
- Icon of Nicholas the Savior. It is he who is considered the main protector of drivers, and his icon will help ward off trouble and protect against failures along the way.
- Icon of the Mother of God and Jesus Christ. These are powerful amulets that can protect the driver and passengers from any dangers.
- Sometimes a separate icon of the Virgin Mary is placed in the salon. It is able to prevent sleep so that the driver does not accidentally fall asleep at the wheel, and will protect him from accidents and the traffic police.
As a rule, drivers place three icons in the cabin at once, usually on the dashboard or near the glove compartment.
Prayers for the car and driver
In order for car amulets to fulfill their purpose, you must remember them and regularly feed them with your faith and energy. The best way to do this is to say a prayer.
Here are a few Orthodox prayers that you can use to remind the amulet of yourself and give it strength:
1. Prayer to the Mother of God, read on Wednesdays:
“Most Holy Theotokos, notice me, your servant (name), and bring information about me to the throne of heaven, pray for my life and show me your intercession. From now on and forever and ever. Amen!"
2. Prayer to Saint Catherine
This saint provides assistance to all travelers. You can contact her any day. It is especially good to read a prayer to Catherine when bad feelings arise about the upcoming trip. Read the prayer until you feel light in your soul.
“Saint Catherine, who clears the path from dangers and adversities, take me under your care, protect me from rain and frost, winds and storms, collisions and accidents. Let everything be as I said. Amen!"

3. Prayer for a long journey
“Merciful God, I turn to you. Protect me and my travelers from violent death, from accidents. Lead us along the path we have chosen, illuminating it with the light of truth. Give me strength and good luck to get there safe and sound and to deliver my friends/family there healthy. May your name be glorified, O All-Merciful God. Amen!"
