Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalam o Alaikum,

is reciting YASSIN everyday keeps us away from black magic ?.......i  ave a book of 40 RABBANA.......I have started reading it a few days go..........what are the goods of RECITING RABBANA AND YASSIN ?

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Yaa seen and magic

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Your Question: …is reciting YASSIN everyday keeps us away from black magic ?..

As blessed and as meritorious the recitation of any amongst the Surahs of the Glorious Quran are, to the best of our knowledge there is no specific mention in the authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) whereby he exhorted the believers to recite the Surah 36 Yaa-Seen everyday, or whereby the Prophet (saws) mentioned that its recitation keeps one away from the evil of magic.

 

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4563        Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri

Allah's Messenger (saws used to seek refuge in Allah from jinn and the evil eye in men till the ‘Mu'awwidhatan’ (Surah 113 Al-Falaq and Surah 114 An-Naas) were revealed, after which he (saws) made use of them and abandoned everything else.

 

If one fears any evil from the unseen (Jinn, magic, evil-eye, etc.), the best remedy recommended and practiced by the Messenger of Allah (saws) was to remain constant in the recitation of the ‘Muawwidthatan’…ie. 113 Surah Al-Falaq and 114 Surah An-Naas.

 

Your Question: …i have a book of 40 RABBANA.......

Respected sister, honestly we have not heard about this book called ’40-Rabbana’, thus we would obviously not be qualified to comment on it.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
