A lot of people believe in gemstones they wear them for protection etc etc I have also seen that my grandfather got a ring from somewhere which was white stone at first and now when he visited us that same ring had changed its color and its all black…can someone tell more about this and that are stones and their uses mentioned in the quran/ahadith?
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
I'm the first one to reply to your post!!
I don't believe in stones at all. I think these are just myths.
N i think that stone might have turned black coz of dirt n pollution..
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
The stone in the Ka'aba was said to be a white stone from Heaven.. As time passed, it turned black due to the sins of mankind.
This is a hadith about the stone:
[QUOTE]
Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 26 :: Hadith 675
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam from his father who said:
"Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed the Corner (Black Stone) saying, 'By Allah!*** I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit nor harm.*** Had I not seen the Prophet touching (and kissing) you, I would never have touched (and kissed) you.' Then he kissed it and said, 'There is no reason for us to do Ramal (in Tawaf) except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and now Allah has destroyed them.' 'Umar added, '(Nevertheless), the Prophet did that and we do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).'
[/QUOTE]
I think this part says it all?
Chilly thats an excellent example. It does say it all.
That said, my nana abu used to wear a few rings with gemstones. I never asked him why. But if it was against Islam, he would never have worn them.
I don't think he wore them for religious reasons, he just liked gemstones.
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
I never said they can harm or benefit anyone...i just asked that is it true that if one recites any quranic verses on stones it reads it thousand times more (aqiq is said to do so), and as chilly said the stone in kabah takes away peoples sins...like are stones capable of having an impact on persons energies e.g. some say wear a certain stone to help control anger etc etc...
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
Please read up upon the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW. How he used to wear his ring. With the stone facing inwards towards his palm.

Real Gemstones which can be had from a Gemstone specialist can influence a lot of things in our lives. They are not really worn for protection but they are worn according to date of birth, name etc. They are worn for many purposes; health reasons, luck reasons, personality reasons etc.
The real stone may change its colour because of many reasons but mainly if a person is going in a problem or about to go in a problem. A real gemstone will never change its colour due to dirt/dust, but the ring on which its embedded can get dirty or dark.
Hazrat Muhammad (saw) used to wear cornellian (akeek), and thats also a reason why many people wear akeek regardless of their date of birth but since 90% buy fake ones through fraud by seller. the stone has no effect on them.
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
The people related to spiritualism aka roohaniat wear gemstones. Some even use gemstones as "taweez" for the sick people. Gemstones contain "moakillat" according to them and these can fucntion and help the human being wearing it once he gives "proper sadqas" in ALLAH's path after wearing the gemstone.Its a creation of ALLAH and can be used to help mankind.
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
^ I just wanted to buy a real stone wali tasbeeh...Akeek is what i have heard about but i wanted to know if there are other stones as well...
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
The Prophet (pbuh) used to wear a silver ring weighing less than a certain weight in grams but it was for stamping purposes only, not for adornment.
That's just to clarify that people wearing rings these days saying it was sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh), it's not right. (according to the Hanafi school of thought).
On that note: obviously women have the full right to wear any type of ring they wish, since shariah has given permission to adorn theselves. The above is for men if they chose to wear a ring, it can be silver only and not on the basis of sunnah since who today needs a seal? :D

Thanks - This is what i wanted to know...
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
But is it true that if you read on Akeek it repeats it (god knows how many times)?
^ I just wanted to buy a real stone wali tasbeeh...Akeek is what i have heard about but i wanted to know if there are other stones as well...
That can be arranged.
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
Correct me If I'm wrong, but I think this is more of a Shiah thing?

yeah, from their appearance it looks it. Nothing to do with the sunnah, don't know why sunnis fall for it

not really.
Salaam All,
I find it amazing that everybody wants to know what the Quran says about gemstones and whether they can help you, yet nobody has quoted the Quran. In Islam, the only unforgiveable sin is Idol worship. Unfortunately, this is widely misunderstood by most muslims. Idol worship is not just worshiping a statue. It is the belief that anyone or anything can help or harm other than GOD. It is defined very clearly in Quran 5:76.
[Quran 5:76] Say, "Would you worship beside GOD powerless idols who can neither harm you, nor benefit you? GOD is Hearer, Omniscient."
So, believing that anyone or anything can help you or harm you is tantamount to idol worship. So, if somebody believes a gemstone can help them or a black meteorite can remove a person's sins than they are idol worshiping an inanimate object beside GOD. ONLY GOD can help us, not a gemstone or rock. They are creations of GOD, just like we are. They cannot help us. That is why Quran states over and over again there is only one GOD, He alone we worship, He alone we ask for help. Hence, Monotheism. Hence, La eleha Ella Allah. This is further reinforced in Quran 6:41-43.
[6:41] The fact is: only Him you implore, and He answers your prayer, if He so wills, and you forget your idols.
[6:42] We have sent (messengers) to communities before you, and we put them to the test through adversity and hardship, that they may implore.
[6:43] If only they implored when our test afflicted them! Instead, their hearts were hardened, and the devil adorned their works in their eyes.
Peace
Re: GEMSTONES in Islam/Quran
^So according to that logic, believing in medicine would also be idol worship, no?
We all know that certain metals, stones and minerals can have different effects on our bodies. Like silver, which has antiseptic qualities. The effects can differ from person to person though. But yeah, I guess that is shirk then? LOL
We Muslims know that only Allah SWT can help us, but we still take some medication when we get sick, no? It's difinetly not shirk. Shirk would be If we'd wear Amulets and such stuff because we think it can protect us from certain evils.

That was exactly what I meant. Believing inanimate objects can help you, such as a black asteroid being able to remove your sins, when only GOD can remit your sins is shirk.
By the way, I was not referring to medicine and pharmaceuticals. Although, GOD is the one who created all the medicine we have. So, just make sure you thank GOD for the medicine and when you are healed.
