Jadu Aur Shifa - Dr Israr Ahmad

This lecture addresses the reality of magic (jadu) and its impact, clarifying the Islamic perspective on seeking cures. It explains that magic exists and is practiced, but constitutes a grave sin bordering on disbelief. The discussion explores how magic operates – through the invocation of Allah’s names or the manipulation of jinn – and emphasizes the importance of maintaining pure monotheism (tawheed) while seeking remedies. The speaker clarifies that true healing comes from Allah, but utilizing medicine is permissible and aligned with the Sunnah. He references instances from the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) where specific remedies were used to counteract the effects of magic, highlighting that these cures were divinely ordained and should not be attributed to the medicines themselves. The lecture stresses that reliance should always be on Allah, while permissible means, like medicine, are used as tools.
