Salam my friends.. Recently I have come across a few desi people who spoke about having a Mo’akkal. I have never heard about this concept before … hence I tried reading some stuff over the internet and found this question , that perfectly describes the querywhat I have in mind regards this matter. Please can you share your input and knowledge:
"
I believe that the knowledge of Unseen belongs to Allah only.
- Surah Baqarah: Verse 33
- Surah Ale Imran: Verse 179
- Surah An’am: Verse 59
- Surah Yunus: Verse 20
- Surah Hud: Verse 31
- Surah Jinn: Verse 26
But here in sub-continent many people believe that some elder pious persons/spiritual healers/Aamils know the knowledge of unseen through Jins (they call such jins ‘Muakkal’). They say that every person has Muakkals surrounding him. So when they need to know something unseen e.g suppose a person and somebody has done some sort of spell/black magic on that person then these so called pious persons call some jins who were present at the place when spell/black magic was being done on that person, then they tell the name of the person who have casted the spell/black magic.
They could tell the location and activities of any close person one wants to know e.g if somebody wants to know where would be my brother at this time?
they would say that he is some where outside buying some stuff and having tough time.
Worst thing is that they say that they could talk to the dead through a muakkal because muakkal die late so information can be extracted about the dead through these muakkals.
Many claim that they could draw some lines (they call it ‘zaicha’ or ‘faal’) on a blank page and could tell you about the success of something e.g exams,marriage,business,love etc or even about the personality of some people you want to know if they are loyal or not.
Their (Pious persons/Spiritual healers/Aamils) followers say that there was a time when there was a nation who had too much knowledge about the unseen and Allah ordered Angel Gibraeel(as) to destroy them after knowing the extent of their knowledge of unseen. Angel Gibraeel(as) when came to destory that nation he also tested the knowledge of those people, as ordered. He asked to a shepherd that Where is Gibraeel(as) right now? The boy applied his knowledge by making something one the surface with his stick and answered He(Gibraeel) is not in the skies, not in any other part of the earth but here, i am not him so you are Gibraeel(as). So Gibraeel(as) destroyed them all.
They make their point by saying that it is Allah who gives the knowledge then how is it forbidden to use such knowledge?
What do you guys say about this crap?
How to refute such people when they start proving themselves right and try to convince you?
Is it allowed to go to such Pious persons/Spiritual healers/Aamils when some cultural/regional symptoms/effects of the so called spells and black magic begin to appear?
