Two papers spreading among people


517

Q: Kindly, find the attached two papers entitled, "The Most Beautiful Names of Allah" and, Nay! But worship Allâh (Alone and none else), and be among the grateful. These two papers are widespread among the common people. Please advise us with regard to them.Following is what is written on these two papersThe first paper: Nay! But worship Allâh (Alone and none else), and be among the grateful. So those who believe in him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), honour him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur’ân) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful. (Part No. 2; Page No. 268)  For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present world (i.e. through a righteous dream seen by the person himself or shown to others), and in the Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allâh. This is indeed the supreme success. Allâh will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allâh Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter. Send these Ayahs (Qur'anic verses) and it will bring you happiness and good luck. If you distribute them nine times around the world, it will bring you righteousness and goodness after four days, In sha’a-Allah (if Allah wills), etc.The second paper, "The Most Beautiful Names of Allah": He is Allah, beside Whom none has the right to be worshipped but He. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme, etc.This blessed paper brought goodness to its writer and we hope it will spread among Muslims. Dear brother, make thirty copies without signing your name and send it to thirty of your relatives, friends, and fellow brothers.


A: It is not true that these two messages bring benefit, goodness, or prevent evil to their writers. This involves falsehood, propagating superstitions among people, diverting them from worshipping Allah alone turning to, and asking Him to (Part No. 2; Page No. 269) bring benefits and ward off evil. It is not permissible to write or send them to anyone as they must be destroyed. If these results were to actually occur, it does not mean that it is permissible to propagate such papers because they are Fitnah (trial) and a trial to one's faith.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
